Facilities feel simple, and transport shuttles or airport transfers can be limited or not as advertised. Expect a straightforward, well‑located stay at a budget‑friendly price.

Facilities are simple: a small or adequate gym and an on-site Mexican restaurant receive mixed feedback. Shuttle or transfer services (airport or Dubai Mall) appear limited or inconsistent, and the in-house travel desk availability can be spotty.

Good location although nothing within walking distance. Metro a short taxi ride. Courtesy bus you have to book 24hrs in advance. They advertise on their website they have airport transfer, this is not correct. Breakfast closes at 10:30am however milk, juices and coffee machines are empty by 10am. They need to make sure breakfast is available until the time they stated. It was a good price.

A szálloda folyosója és a szobák dohányfüstös áporodott, kellmetlen szagot árasztanak. A két személyes szobához egy poharat és egy törölközőt találtunk kétszeres kérésre is csak egy nagy és egy kis törölközőt kaptunk. A reggeli megfelelő volt. A helyi programok szervezője flegma, és nehezére esik információt adni, vagy nem is ad. A szállodában egy lepusztult állapotú de magas áron működő mexicói étterem található. Nedm kaptunk kedvet a visszatéréshez.

These hotel is very accesible to metro station, we have saved a lot money by not taking the taxi service. Breakfast is ok but limited choices. Staff are very helpful. Rooms are adequate in space, staff cleaning the room regularly. I have booked for three person but the other bed is not prepared so we have to pull the bed on our own. It has been mentioned on the amenities that they have free trasnpirt going to dubai mall but it wasnt available at all. Overall it was a pleasant stay.

Woke up to bedbugs crawling all over the bed. Me and my family members staying in the room had bedbug bites. Manager switched the room and only offered food from the hotel as compensation. Given how the hotel was infested with bedbugs, I didn't feel comfortable eating anything from the hotel. I had to cancel my safari trip and my family members birthday lunch so I could move from one room to another room. The staff who came to help move the luggages were unfriendly and were speaking in Hindi about their frustration of helping me move rooms. I let the staff know that I can understand the language and can understand what they are saying. At which point they became more polite. Did not expect a hotel in Dubai to have bedbugs out of all the places I've visited so far. How disappointing.

I liked the hotel location with respect to conveniences and safety. Staff are friendly. Free breakfast. Didn’t have lunch there since we were out whole day. Had buffet dinner once. It was good.Nice variety, changed items everyday. It’s close to Dubai mall and Burj. 25 Dirham for taxi to get there. Two things I didn’t like was; we didn’t have view from our window. Our view was walkway to the wing of the same hotel so never opened the curtains. If you are not going to be in the room whole day it will not bother you. This won’t stop me from coming back to this hotel. I didn’t like the smell of cigarettes in the hallway even though it was non smoking area. I would say this smell is the only thing that bothered me otherwise excellent place.

The hotel is centrally located in Downtown Dubai yet offers great price. It suits both family and business travellers. Rooms are spacious, washrooms are clean and well though out. My trip was for family vacation and we thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. Breakfast was decent. Loved the beverage dispenser which can dispense 15 types of beverages. I liked taste of Hot Chocolate Milk and Mocha. Checkin and checkout was fast and easy and reception staffs were courteous. Hotel lobby, rooms and corridors are fully carpeted, air conditioning was pleasant. Overall 5 star experience, hence 5 star rating:) Would definitely revisit.

They didn’t allow my wife to cancel her stay, even though she couldn’t make it due to sickness, and they never replied to my email request. On a few occasions, I didn’t get much help with questions regarding sightseeing, and they wanted us to figure it out ourselves. While that’s fine, a little common courtesy would have been appreciated. However, the staff was mostly friendly."

This property had a good location. Walking distance to the Metro and also one stop away from Dubai Mall made accessibility to food and dining easy. The customer service at the hotel itself needs improvement. I booked a non smoking room and on arrival was faced with a smoking room as they apparently over booked. This was rectified in a day but my allergies were seriously acting up. As an IHG member I expected better service.
