I only stayed for two nights, but I would recommend this hotel to anyone. A very central location in the old part of Dubai town. The room was well equipped and the A/C worked well. If you are looking for a resort type hotel look else where there is a token pool in GS3 where I stayed. I paid £60 a night with breakfast. Overall very happy.

we stayed for 6 nights at Golden sands 10 over the easter holiday and were a little apprehensive having read some poor reviews and never having been to Dubai before.
the apartment was brilliant for us and our two (almost) grown up sons! Loads of space, very clean and serviced every day - the staff were very helpful - even when we arrived at 1am. The pool area was a little tired but perfect for relaxing and the boys made the most of the gym and squash courts.
The area was fine - apart from the inevitable roadworks - we had no trouble getting (very cheap) taxis from outside the apartments and although we were aware of certain activities going on in the vicinity we never felt concerned or threatened by them - even late at night, as some reviews might suggest!
this might be budget accomodation by Dubai standards but for us it was perfect and we would happily recommend it and go we would (will) go back.

We had a 3 bedroom appartment at Golden Sands 10. We booked directly on thehotels own website and got a good deal of 6 nights for £700. At the time, other websites were quoting over £1000 for the same accomodation. We booked about 3 weeks in advance. However, about a week before we went they slashed the prices to under £600. We thought this was strange as usually prices go up nearer to the time. Anyway, accomodation was very spacious and well equipped with 3 bedrooms, kitchen, 2 bathrooms, large living/ dining area and utility room with washing machine. The appartment was cleaned daily. We used the pool a couple of times which is of a decent size with surrounding sun loungers. They also have a squash court and table tennis which we also utilised. Location is good with Spinneys supermarket across the road and Burjuman Mall and other restaurants/ shops within 5 minute walk.

I was booked in here as part of a tour and had a spacious studio with appliances. The washer/drier was a blessing by this stage of the trip, once I mastered how to use it as there were no instructions and I had to ask for help. Sadly you can't buy only enough washing powder to do a load and have to get a big box from the supermarket, only to leave most of it behind. There is a 24 hour restaurant which serves pretty average western food but no alcohol, and the complimentary internet service was either very slow or not working at all. An easy walk away is the Burjurman Centre which has every type of shop imaginable, and this is also a stop on the hop on hop off tourist bus route. There is not much else within walking distance except more apartment buildings, construction sites and the odd convenience store. However this place offers better value than many hotels of a similar standard.
