This hotel offers tremendous value for money and location is very good. 3 double delux rooms for 4 nights cost £534.00. Had 3 kids & 1 teenager as part of party. All was content and happy throughout our stay. Hotel staff very polite and ready to help. (4th floor shower not so good as low water pressure - got moved to 3rd floor when mentioed it) Rooms were clean, spacious and we was'nt worried about valubles - some of my party went gold buying. I thought location was great. Its in Old Dubai so out of the developing mertopolis which can be a good thing and many shops within hotel vicinity seem cheaper, bought mobile fone saving £10-15. Opposite the hotel is a fantastic Shawarma place. I noticed all locals and many staff eating there. I strongly advise to try the fruit cocktail (about 30p). if they sold that here I reckon about £3.50. So so good and nothing artificial. Things to do - Desert driving, wadi water park, Burj Al arab tour, river cruise & meal, all aranged from tour desk in hotel by independant staff but trust worthy. Maybe I was lucky I dont know, but I booked this place after reading the reveiws, and anybody else doing the same I would recomend this place as a good, clean, cheap place to stay for someone who wants to rest, wash and eat breakfast and leave your belongings somewhere safe. If you want a hotel that has a swimming pool, yoga classes and in general just want to hang around the hotel it self rather than explore Dubai then you may not enjoy the Nova.

I stayed at Hotel Nova for four nights in April, 2007. It was my first visit to Dubai.
I booked my single room on allhotels.com for $76 per night, including taxes and free breakfast.
I selected Hotel Nova because it was one of the few hotels in my price range that had no bad reviews on websites, because the location looked good, and because it was within my budget.
I was very impressed and entirely satisfied with the hotel. My room was very nice, and was cleaned well daily. My room had its own balcony. The refrigerator, airconditioning and hot water worked well.
The staff at the hotel were very helpful and friendly. I contacted the hotel prior to my arrival, and they communicated with me by email, answering my questions and advising me. I very much appreciated this.
I requested a quiet room. It appears that all of the rooms in the hotel are quiet because the hotel's outlets (shows) are in a separate building that is beside the hotel.
The location was fantastic, very close to the river and the museum. I would definitely stay there again.

We stayed two nights at the Dubai Nova hotel at the end of September 2006. Our room was certainly not renovated, but very spacious, more like a suite. The pillows could do with replacement. The bathroom was clean and spacious. Unfortunately the fridge didn't work, but the air conditioning thankfully did. The staff are very obliging and arranged discounted tours for us. Breakfast in the morning was a buffet which included traditional and local cuisine. The Dubai Nova is a budget hotel in short walking distance to the Creek, just across from the Gold Soulks and short drive to the airport, so for us the convenience was good. Because of its proximity and cost I would certainly stay here again if on a short stay.
