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.

We found Bur Dubai to be our favorite area. Cheap, delious food restaurants nearby, fun ally ways to explore for cheap shopping. The Gateway hotel was a little hidden gem. At first the area looked a bit seedy, but it was a safe and very friendly area. I highly recommend getting a room at the The Gateway for 3 days or more if you want a unique and fun Dubai experience as a white tourist family from the USA it will allow you get to know the real Dubai...and save money. Close to the Metro and Creek river, lots of retail shops with great prices and in the heart of Indian and Pakistan neighborhoods, very happy and friendly area. The Gateway Hotel was a great experience and I will recommend it to my friends.

Steve

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

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.

Sehr guter, täglicher Zimmerservice, Personal ist sehr hilfsbereit. Frühstück ist sehr international und abwechslungsreich, auch Mengenmäßig gesehen! Gute Lage, ÖPNV ist nie weiter weg als 10 Gehminuten - zahllose Geschäfte und Gastronomische Einrichtungen sind vorhanden. Für den Preis ist das Hotel unschlagbar! Nicht gefallen hat mir der recht kleine Pool und es gibt da auch nur vier Sonnenschirme bei ca. 20 Liegen - Probleme sind da vorprogrammiert. Das Hotel kommt langsam in die Jahre, kleinere Abnutzungserscheinungen sind schon vorhanden. Es ist sehr hellhörig dort, die Türen knallen oft laut zu, u.a. Geräuschen.
