Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were ok, quite old but clean, and thankfully didn't have any unpleasant smells. The service was not empathic, but I had a great experience with Hazel who went above and beyond to find me a room last minute. The location was decent, just a short walk away from Dubai Creek. The dining was the highlight of my stay, even better than some 5-star hotels, especially the delicious breakfast. The facilities were satisfactory.
My stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable overall. The room, although smaller than expected, was very comfortable and had a great view of the creek, mosque, and sea. The service was welcoming and helpful, and the location was convenient, being close to supermarkets, restaurants, and cafes. The dining experience was satisfactory, though the separate cost for breakfast was a downside. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall experience.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic. The room had a half creek view and was equipped with everything I needed, including a mini-fridge. The service was exceptional, and I even got a free upgrade to a suite. The location was ideal, close to the metro station and in a quiet area near the creek. The dining experience was enjoyable with a variety of dishes to choose from. The facilities were top-notch, especially the rooftop pool bar with stunning views.
The hotel had a few issues with room amenities, like a low battery in the safe and a refrigerator that wasn't working until the last night, but they were able to resolve them eventually. The rooms themselves were clean, modern, and came with a well-stocked bathroom. The service was friendly and accommodating, allowing us to have visitors for a special occasion. The location, while not the cleanest, offered proximity to Dubai Creek and was convenient for exploring the city. The dining experience had its highlights but also had some discrepancies in breakfast timing. The facilities were decent overall.
The hotel had some issues with the rooms such as the sauna and steam not working properly, a persistent strange smell, malfunctioning TV initially, and delayed resolution of problems in the smoking room. However, the service was satisfactory, especially enjoying the swimming option on the rooftop. The location was convenient, being a short walk from Union metro station. The dining experience was subpar with limited breakfast options. Overall, the facilities had some drawbacks but were mostly acceptable for the price paid.
The hotel rooms were very clean and the facilities felt like a five-star hotel, but I encountered some issues like a low battery in the safe and a non-working refrigerator, which were only resolved on the last day. There was also a continuous disturbance from an unknown caller within the hotel, leading to the extreme solution of disconnecting the phone.
The hotel rooms, though comfortable, showed signs of wear and could have been more relaxing with a mint scent. The service was a mix of unfriendly and welcoming, while the location was excellent despite some delays in refunds. The dining experience was not very creative but with a perfect view, and the facilities were top-notch.
The hotel offers a partial creek view, clean rooms, and friendly service, but the WiFi connectivity is poor and amenities like sauna need improvement. The dark setting in certain areas may not appeal to all guests.
The hotel offers modern rooms with ample amenities but can be inconsistent in availability. The service is generally pleasant, although some instances of rudeness were noted. The dining experience varies in quality, with a good variety of dishes but inconsistencies. The facilities are decent overall.
The hotel had some issues with the rooms, including a last-minute fix for low battery safe and non-working refrigerator. The constant phone calls from an internal source were quite bothersome, and the smell of smoke lingered in the room. However, the service was exceptional, especially thanks to Mr Barakat and the staff, who were extremely helpful and courteous. The location was convenient for exploring Dubai, situated near Dubai Creek and accessible to various attractions. The dining experience was satisfactory but could use some improvement. Overall, the facilities were decent but not outstanding.
I had a pleasant stay overall at this hotel. The rooms were clean, ultra-modern, and equipped with all essential toiletries. The staff was kind and accommodating, and despite a few minor issues, they tried to address them swiftly. However, some maintenance issues like a low battery on the safe and a non-working refrigerator were a bit inconvenient, but were eventually resolved. The constant internal calls were a nuisance, but the solution was found, albeit late into my stay.

The service was outstanding, with Hazel going above and beyond to find a last-minute room. The dining experience was subpar with limited breakfast options, but the facilities were well-equipped and maintained.
The hotel has spacious rooms with comfortable beds and good bathrooms, equipped with modern amenities, but the WiFi connectivity is poor making it better not to use.

The TV in the room never worked properly, and the size of the room was smaller compared to previous stays in similar room types.

The hotel rooms had some issues, but they tried to fix them, like the safe having a low battery and the refrigerator not working until the last night. One inconvenience was receiving constant calls from an unknown room, leading to the solution of cutting the phone line.
