Guest Reviews & Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but I faced congestion issues that required a room change due to maintenance problems. The service provided was friendly and courteous, though there were some delays initially. The location was great for exploring the city, but the dining options were subpar.
The hotel has a convenient location near Meena Bazaar with all restaurants and food chains close by. The rooms were old and used, but in good condition despite some water leakage issues in the bathroom. The service was professional and courteous, although the check procedure lacked efficiency. The dining experience offered a variety of Indian and Continental options but leaned towards Indian cuisine. Overall, a good experience especially for families traveling to Bur Dubai.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, but the noise from cleaning tools disturbed my sleep. The service, especially by Mr Surya, was exceptional with the staff being friendly and supportive. The location was convenient with a bus stop nearby, but it was far from major attractions. The dining options were varied and catered well to Indian cuisine. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms, though not very spacious, were nicely arranged and cozy. However, it was a bit noisy due to music from the hotel's clubs. The service was extremely helpful and friendly, with attentive personnel. The location was excellent, with easy access to tourist areas, but the room I stayed in was a bit small. The dining experience offered great options, especially for Indians, but some items were not to my taste. Overall, a good value for the price paid.
The hotel could improve room size, as it was affected by noise from the in-house clubs, but it offers amenities like a coffeemaker and toiletries. The service had a mix of rudeness and kindness. The location was convenient for sightseeing and activities in Dubai but faced early checkout calls. The dining options mostly catered to Indian cuisine. Facilities were standard with no particular highlights.
The hotel has a great location with easy access to tourist spots and shopping areas. The rooms are spacious and equipped with a mini-fridge, but we had to request a room change due to a maintenance issue. The service, although prompt in some areas, lacked efficiency and friendliness at times.
The hotel exceeded my expectations with a nice room featuring a mini bar stocked with daily free bottled water and free instant coffee/tea. The queen bed was so comfortable. The service was very supportive and humble, making my stay enjoyable. The location with a nearby bus stop connecting to tourist points was a big plus. The dining experience with a multi-cuisine spread was one of the best breakfasts I've had in Dubai.
The hotel is conveniently located in Bur Dubai, not far from great shopping spots like Gold Souk and Meena Bazar. The rooms were clean and supplied with essential items, though the cleaning process could be quieter. The service was a mix of polite and not overly welcoming staff. The dining options catered well to various preferences, especially for Indian cuisine.
