Roomy, well located, apparently quite modern and close to a decent 24hr supermarket, this hotel is a veritable Marie Celeste - a ghost ship without any noticeable customers. Golden Sands across the road is packed out, this place is empty. Why? Well, because the rooms are smelly and poorly maintained, the staff are inattentive to a fault, the maintenance crew beggar belief in the extent of their total mind-boggling incompetence and you won't find the place advertised on Expedia, Excelloz or Lastminute.com. So, if you would like an 80 sq m 2-bed / 3 toilet apartment in central Dubai for AED333/day, and you can put up with the place falling apart around you, then look no further. Alternatively, pay a little more and go to somewhere far far better - you are spoilt for choice.

NB oddly enough there is a full Scandinavia Sauna here - maybe the only one in Dubai (except for Dubai iself!) more
