Hotel located very close to the Mall of the Emirates (just across the road). Downside is traffic can be bad at peak times. Rooms on the small side, but adequate and very clean. Two bars onsite (one sports and one with live music) both reasonably priced (for Dubai). Hotel breakfast also reasonably priced (for Dubai) - but hot choices a little limited. Roof top pool nice size (15m) and very clean, only downside is limited sun bed space. Owing to Covid, only 12 at a time permitted in the pool area on sunbeds (with no more than 8 of those in pool).

What is unique about this property is the location and sports bar. I didn't like the towels, they were too old, the room was tiny in conoarison to other rooms that seem more spacious, the bathroom was poorly installed and my safe didn't work. Honestly i am never going back after this second time.

I have stayed in so many hotels in Dubai but this is the worst hotel I have seen so far. I made the booking through Expedia for my friends, I even called the hotel twice to tell them that I made the booking under my name but my friends will stay there. At the check-in they couldn’t find the reservation that was confirmed when I called first, so the make a new booking for my guests charged him 176 Aed and also charge my card for the reservation they couldn’t find when my guests was checking-in. Nothing is complimentary in this hotel, slippers is 5aed, dental kit is 3aed and water is 2aed. The rooms are so small. Will never stay in this hotel ever nor recommend it to anyone. Worst hotel😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

It's a clean, budget hotel in an excellent location with great front staff. However, if you pay another 5-10 Dhs, you can have a room that has a bigger bed (this room had one double bed), toiletries like conditioner and lotion, and a shower with an actual door that will keep your bathroom floor from getting soaked.
