No Jacuzzi-Broken, covered in plastic. Looks it has not been used for for long time. No coffee shop. Not suitable for vegetarians. Swimming pool-half full-poor condition, dirty. Bollywood cafe has 6-7 girls dancing on stage every night and men giving them money. Only suitable for batchelors. Internet picture of hotel is false.On internet hotel is next to buildings. These have been demolished and turned into a roundabout with construction work. Bur Dubai is under construction as a railway is being built until end of 2009. Roadworks. Evidence attached in pics. No taxis available in bur dubai. One taxi driver told us that they do not go to bur dubai as it is congested with diverted traffic and due to the building work. Hotel said more than 2 hrs wait for a taxi and will not chase this for you. Hotel has 1 driver for airport transfers but this is not free.
'No easy access to banks, business and shopping'.'Pool is not temperature controlled'. Very congested traffic in Dubai and not a holiday destination. Good fofr shopping only. Bathroom-cracks on floor and tiles. Little holes in the bathroom tub. Toilet seat broken when we arrived. Dvd player not working in room. 'No spa tub or turkish bath'. 'Hotel does not offer a shuttle bus to and from the airport'. 'Taxi is not available 24 hrs a day'. Have to wait more than 2 hrs. Window in room has no lock and is open at all times. Dangerous if on top floor. 'A bus service runs to city centre' Have to wait more than 1 hr due to roadworks. Whole of Dubai is under construction and hotel is located on a roundabout. Would not advice any holidaymakers to visit Dubai until end of 2009. 'No currency exchange'.

I paid about $150 USD for a one night stay during the high season. It turned out the place was quite nice and comparable to any western chain. They gave me a huge room on one of the top floors. Unfortunately I never made use of the facilities as I was simply transiting Dubai.

But, my one complaint is that two of my female friends from Dubai met me at the hotel and came to my room to use the toilet. (no lying) and immediately the manager sent one of his guys up knocking on the door and was very firm that they had to leave immediately. I opened the door wide for him to see that nothing at all was going on. Anyway, I was quite angry at how rude they were and seemed to assume that my two asian friends were prostitutes and not former acquaintances from Kyrgyzstan. Anyway, given Dubai's reputation I can understand this, but I wish they would have been less insulting about it. (I was short of punching the guy in his face for being obstinate) But, this event definately did leave a shrowd over my stay.

I stayed for 5 nights at this hotel and was quite pleased. The rooms are big for the price range, comfortable and well equipped. Not far from what you get at double the price across the street. Staff is also helpful, and will if possible let you check in early and check out late at no additional cost. Location is good too, in the middle of Bur Dubai with walking distance to Bastakiya, Dubai Creek, Burjuman and lots of computers/electronics stores. My only real complaint is about the breakfast, it was not as varied and high quality as one could expect and certainly not up to Sheraton/Radisson/Hilton/whatever standards. I also have to agree with those who wrote about noise from the night club and people running up and down the hallways late at night. Didn´t disturb me that much, but it´s not a place for those who want peace and quiet above all.

I emailed the hotel prior to arriving asking for an early check in and a late check out. Very quick reply with a you can check in early if rooms are ready and we could have a check out of 2pm instead of the usual 11am - great!

Rooms very clean has everything we needed. Staff very helpful - there is a tour an in reception who offered discounts on tours.

We missed breakfast every morning due to staying out so late and not getting up in time haha

Pool was small but clean and very cool which is needed after a day in the sun. Sun only there in the morning but again it was so hot it didn't matter. There is a gym but we did not use it.

The nightclub is noisy but we were on the 5th floor so did not hear it from there. Goddfellas seemed busy as well.

Location wise it is about 15mins from the Burjaman. Taxis can be hailed from outside. The porters were saying that it is easier to hail then order a taxi.

Spinneys is just up the road so get all your snacks and water from there. We got some alcohol as we landed in Doha first very cheap there. 1 litre raspberry vodka about £5

Overall very good value for money. Next time we will go to the beach hotels and splurge abit more as they looked lovely with the beach on your doorstep.
Everywhere in Dubai is pread out so you can never be in the perfect location.
