Poor service

Overall hotel is ok to stay 1 night, cheap hotel, but i was really disappointed that they charged additionally 200 aed deposit (on top of a 1 night stay cost of 190), first they said that it will not be charged, only hold and then immediately released after checkout. But, when checking out next day - i realized that it was a charge and the refund in 7 days min as per receptionist answer...

Very bad experience

One month before my arrival, I sent only 1 request: "Please give me a high floor" (because I read through some other reviews that they were having renovations and it can quite noisy at the lower floors) Upon my check-in, they gave me the first floor. :( I asked again to provide me a higher floor. They said they will do it the next day but never did.. even after 5 days.

Great hotel friendly staff but needs a little TLC.

On the positives, a nice large room with good bathroom. Nice breakfast choice, tasty and again, friendly and helpful staff. Able to order additional items such as omelettes but this was not mentioned and only knew as I saw staff walking out the kitchen with food orders. On the downside, the bathroom needed a bit of TLC, the toilet seat was loose and moved as one bolt was missing. The hot water is a manual system, you need to turn it on and wait some minutes to get hot. Not ideal if you are in a rush in the morning. So you leave it on all night, which is not ecofriendly. And when it was hot, the flow was much reduced to a slow trickle. The gym had lots of equipment, but lots of items not working. 3 of the 4 treadmills were out of order. Luckily when I went the one working was free. Also, no water machine or towles and only tissues avaialble to clean the equipment after. However, I got what I needed from it, as only user each time. On the last night the people in the adjacent room had a party that went on all night, full volume Indian tunes waking me at 1:30, 3 and then 5 but as I was going I let them get on with it. Not the hotels fault, but I wonder if anybody else complained and if so, what they would have done about it. Overall good stay, I would consider staying there again.

chambre spacieuse et propre, étage non fumeur très apprécié, service diner en chambre bon et sans supplément (pas cher). Zero vue tout est en construction autour, quartier sale (en travaux) pas terrible mais à 10mn du metro à pieds. Personnel à l'accueil peu souriant et d'aucune aide (on doit se débrouiller seuls), personnel de ménage et aux ascenseurs très gentil et souriants (eux), petit dej qui manque de sucré. Boite de nuit bruyante, pourtant on était dans les derniers étages, avec des bouchons d'oreille on n'entend plus rien.

The hotel is old and it seems that the Management is not interested to fix the issues for example. The room had mold in the bathroom. The Informationens about the hotel at the Webside of expedia are not right. They have a shuttle but only to the mall not the other destinations like jbr beach. It was 1 main reason to book this hotel. The pool had also different opeding times that dont match with the Webside. The staff was very kind and friendly and always helpful anytime

This is the first time in two years I make a critical comment about a hotel I have stayed in Dubai. The entrance was undergoing works and visitors had to go through a little door on the side leading to a dirty service corridor. The corridors on the 6th floor where I was staying had pieces of paper and plastic on the carpet. What was the most disappointing was the breakfast: food such as scrambled eggs and sausages were oily and seemed exposed for too long. The breakfast room was dark and drab. The selection of food for breakfast was small. Coffee was basically ditchwater and one had to pay extra for cappucino and expresso, generally available for free at most 3 or 4 star hotels after paying the breakfast fee. Bed mattresses were soft and not very ergonomic for the back. The supposed king-sized bed was in fact two beds side-by-side.Half of the machines at the gym were not working and there was no personnel available there to check them out. The swimming pool was pleasant though...
