The place was nice. Puts you right in middle with the locals. The hotel is located on a narrow one-way street, so getting to it is tricky. Excellent choice for someone who want to explore and is adventurous.

Happy guest!

I had a great stay at the hotel. I enjoyed the busy community in the area. Additionally, the hotel is a short walk away from the metro and one of the most popular restaurants in the area, Al Ustadi. Highlights let recommended!

Room filthy with stains on pillow, black mold in tub grouting and dirty window sills. Lamps were torn and cracked and fridge was warm. Staff member said its purpose was to store medication. I asked if I checked into a hotel or hospital. Food poor. Room service called me back and said items I ordered were not available. This was 3 different times. Front desk staff not friendly. Prices were high. Don’t expect to order diet sodas as they have none. Had to call room service for soap 3 times. It never came. Door man and security guard were only 2 helpful staff. Kids screaming and running up and down hallways. Restaurant staff inattentive and slow. Won’t be back

Clean but area not inviting

A great hotel with friendly and helpful staff. However, the area was not very pleasant and was quite dirty surrounded by electrical stores and take away shops. The hotel was clean and bed was comfortable with a nice breakfast buffet.

No bells and whistles, budget hotel

Great location and accessibility, but Customer service and food options could be improved. Very few vegetarian options in breakfast spread. In fact their quality of breakfast has gone down since my earlier visit to this hotel in 2017.

A gem in the heart of old dubai

Located in the heart of But Dubai/Old Dubai this hotel is a true gem. A bit dated in room decor and conditions of bathroom and other fixtures, otherwise its a pleasant stay. The breakfast on the roof top restaurant has quite a few choices - Asian, indian and European hot and cold items. It also has its own parking for guests if you are bringing a car which is great since it is hard to find parking in this part of the city. Its minutes away from some key landmarks - Abra station to the old souks, bastakhiya and the Dubai museum and palace. Overall a really good experience and a pleasant stay.
