If I ever return to Dubai, I will not be staying at a budget hotel. I think the only way to enjoy Dubai is to live it up! It's supposed to be a rich new city and yet the Karama Hotel is in a dodgy area and is anything but new! Our room was quite spacious, but the bathroom smelled... more

Just got back from a short stay in Dubai. Stayed at the Karama-which is great if on a budget. Location is good for cheap but fresh indian,chinese food. Supermarkets are a re short walk. Burjman Shopping Centre is a 20 minute walk or 5 minutes by taxi The staff are good and willhelp-rooms are large and comfortable My only concern... more

Although the staff were friendly...however, the standard of the room was very poor. The bed had a strange smell & the Bathroom smells of Urine. It was extremely noisey because of the nightclub...even though i had the quitest room in the hotel. Service is poor, and location is terrible... Do not book at Karama hotel if u wanna enjoy your... more

The hotel is sleazy and nasty with three nightclubs that you can here pumping out music, even on the 3rd floor, till 3am. The first night was spent on the first floor which must be where they shove everyone till they complain. The room vibrated with the noise the bathroom was stinking with nice warm water to brush your teeth,... more

The hotel is terrible. My collage and I spent 6 night on this hotel on since last week. The rooms are dirty. The bathroom is horrible, the water is smelly. But the biggest problem is the noise which comes at 9PM to 3AM every day. There are 3 night clubs on the base floor. We can not sleep until the... more

... that is if you value any sleep before 3am. The hotel is only three storeys, and there are 3 nightclubs for the local population that start from 9pm till 3am (finishes on the dot) EVERY night of the week, that play kind of new age-house-bangra (?!) with booming bass that rattles through the whole hotel. We were on the... more
