My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious and fairly clean, providing a quiet environment. The location was convenient with a nearby metro station, although the surrounding restaurants were not very appealing. The dining options were mediocre, but the hotel offered some Indian dishes. The service, however, was disappointing with rude staff at the reception area.

The suites are spacious with two big rooms, one for lounging with a sofa set and TV, and the other for sleeping. However, the bathrooms are quite small like pigeon toilets. Considering the price, I might explore other options in nearby hotels next time.

The staff was cooperative and provided excellent cooperation during our stay. However, the room furniture was quite old, the AC temperature control was not functioning, and parking was not available on-site, requiring guests to use a card for a paid parking lot far from the hotel.

The hotel is conveniently located close to supermarkets, restaurants, and the Metro station SHARAF DG. The rooms are spacious but slightly damp in the corners. The service was inconsistent with clueless staff, yet they managed to organize a city tour at a moment's notice. The dining options were limited, with cold food being a common issue. The location offers easy access to taxis, restaurants, and malls.

The hotel offers spacious and nicely designed rooms with a sofa, making my stay comfortable. However, the check-in process was a bit delayed despite prior notification. The suite consisted of a huge living area, a big bedroom, and a spacious bathroom, but overall, the rooms felt small and lacked spaciousness.

The hotel offers very spacious and clean rooms, perfect for staying and working during the day, but the rooms are unfortunately stinky and dusty. The service is a mix of rudeness and excellence with some staff being extremely rude and money-focused while others are friendly and helpful. The location is convenient, being close to local markets and food streets, however, it is situated in an area with undesirable shopping amenities. The dining experience varies from unappealing and limited to fairly good with a wide spread, depending on the dish. Overall, a stay here has its ups and downs.

I had a great stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and located near a metro station with good Indian food options nearby. However, the old-fashioned metallic key rings were a bit inconvenient. The service was excellent, especially with Mr Mohammed at the front desk always ready to assist with a smile. The hotel is situated in Bur Dubai, a central area close to Meena Bazaar and various restaurants. Although the breakfast wasn't included, the location was convenient and near public transportation. The dining experience was average with limited breakfast options, but the hotel had a good combination of Indian and European influences. Overall, a pleasant stay with some minor drawbacks.
