At check in, I was asked for 500aed deposit, if you pay in cash, you get full refund. If you pay by card, you get 470Aed back, 30aed is kept as a commission to the hotel. They don’t just block as any other hotel, which makes it quite ridiculous, no mention of this before I booked the hotel. Value isn’t the problem, it’s the principle. Great location, rooms are dated, quite noisy.
