This hotel now operates under new management. I always stay at this hotel during my visit to Dubai. Close to metro, restaurants and market. The other reason I choose this hotel because of sauna. All staffs are very attentive and helpful. A lady at the reception from Myanmar (sorry can't remember her name), allowed me early check in at 10 AM. Bhojraj at the gym/pool and Dawod were also very helpful. Full value of money.
Now they have a night club at the ground floor and you can hear the sound until 3 in the morning. Doesn't look like the property is maintained as before. Broken umbrella at the pool side, low quality green tea and coffee bags, etc. which they need to improve. Also, now they start charging a high charge of AED 100 for extra guest which doesn't make sense. I ordered a small can of Sprite for room service, which cost AED 2 or 3 at any supermarket and they charged me ridiculously high price of AED 35. How on earth a hotel like this can charge AED 35 (US$ 10) for a small can of Spirit?
