“Value for money in old Dubai”

We had a lovely time in this hotel. It is situated in the Diera district (old Dubai) and it is certainly worth paying a little extra to have a room overlooking the Dubai creek. The creek is a busy and fascinating waterway. There are many dhows sailing up and down and moored across from the hotel, loading and unloading. There is a water taxi station just across the road from the hotel. Very cheap and a lot of fun. Amongst other things, the textile souk (market) is located across the creek, so the water taxi is handy for this excursion. All the major tours will call at the hotel to pick you up. The hotel is old and full of character. It is very clean and well maintained. All the staff we met, without exception, were very friendly. All of them spoke good English. The Diera area is old but it is clean and we felt quite safe walking around the streets. The "hop on hop off" bus stops across the road from the hotel which is convenient given the temperatures. Another little tip - we arrived very early in the morning so, via the hotel website, we arranged for a car to be at the airport to pick us up. The cost is added to your hotel room. We had one excellent evening meal at the hotel restaurant. This was well priced and once again the staff were very friendly. One little grizzle - it would have been nice to have a glass of wine meal but this is against the local law. The hotel and Dubai itself, were two very pleasant surprises on our travels.

“Dubai creek views”

Good location close to gold souk area. Short cab ride from airport. Big Bus Tour stop located across the road.

“Best Location, Resonable Rate.”

I had read a couple of reviews about this hotel and they were mixed. However, once I arrived I was thrilled by the location, quailty, cleanliness and friendliness of the staff. Right on the main drag along Dubai Creek. About two blocks from the Gold Souk. About a block and a half from the Banyis Square Metro station. The location could not have been better. We were able to hop on the Metro and get to the Burj, Emerates Mall and the Airport with ease. They had a couple of real nice resturants and the free breakfast was outstanding. Room was clean and huge with a sitting area seperate from the bed area. When compared with the big ticket hotels, this one is a hidden gem. Next time I am in Dubai this is where I will stay.

“Very nice location”

Nice hotel with best location in Dubai, for the visitors how is looking for a shopping area in Nief city.

“Comfortable and within walking distance of shops, restaurants and Baniyas Square”

Comfortable and within walking distance of shops, restaurants and Baniyas Square and the Gold Souk (15-20 mins walk). Hotel room good size with a balcony facing the creek (athough too hot to sit there). Would return if I went to Dubai again and would recommend the Hotel - I would say it gives good value for your money.

“VERY GOOD”

THE ONLY MINUS OF THE HOTEL IS THAT IT DOESNT SERVE ALCOHOL AND NO POOL. BESIDES THAT IT HAS A GOOD STAFF GOOD HOUSEKEEPING GOOD DOORMEN. HOTEL IS VERY CLEAN GOOD LUNCH BUFFET AND IF YOU STAYING IN THE DEIRA NEIGHBORHOOD OF DUBAI ITS THE BEST PLACE TO STAY FOR THE MONEY YOU PAY. THE IN ROOM BAR HAS WATER CANDY AND SODA .AND IS VERY CHEAP COMPARED TO OTHER HOTELS IN THE AREA. ALMOST MARKET PRICE. THEY HAVE SHUTTLE GOING TO THE BEACH EVERY DAY AT 8 AM RETURNING AT 12 PM.

“Celan,safety and cincerity”

Good,clean and safety four star hotel in Dubai.price&service balanced. No so big hotel but sweet.

“Too homely...”

If you want a modern looking hotel this is not it. It was just too "homely for me". Maybe because I was travelling alone. If you like B&B type hotel then this is for you. Service was good though they did upgrade my room to "Creek view" from "Souk View" for free, and let me use internet in the middle of the night.

“For historic hotels lovers”

No pool,no parking,smelly room.
