Leyla, the Bhutanese girl and south Indian girl was a gem to work with. the hijabi lady unfortunately wasn't that receptive to my concerns. This is the place to be as old Dubai has all the best malls that have affordable prices . This is also the only part of Dubai that is fairly walkable . Mall right next door ! Gold souk , Bur Dubai all right there. Porters are helpful. Pool is a bit small . The breakfast is good but not the worth the price is you are buying it separately. Across the streets they have a great local places to eat. Metro is 13 mins walk . Nice airconditioning and comfortable beds. 15 mins to airport without traffic . Gym is nice and big . they have a hall to rent so music from that hall can get loud at nice but they shut off the music at 11pm. Ultimately this location is unbeatable.
