Very Bad Experience – Dirty, Noisy, and Poor Service I had a very disappointing stay at Sun and Sands Downtown Hotel in Dubai. The hotel is poorly maintained — rooms are dirty, and basic cleaning is often ignored. Every night there are loud fights and disturbances from the nightclub located near the lobby and reception, making it impossible to sleep or relax. The staff are unhelpful and quite rude, showing no concern for guests’ comfort or complaints. It feels like they only care about collecting money rather than providing any real service. This hotel is definitely not worth the price and does not reflect the hospitality standards expected in Dubai. I strongly do not recommend this property to anyone looking for a clean, peaceful, and respectful place to stay.
