Cheap stay in Dubai

Stained bedsheets, stained towels, broken tiles in rooms and bathroom, no provision for power outlet to charge mobiles or laptop and on top of all this, you have to share the room with cockroaches... Guess you cant expect more for AED 80 a night in Dubai! The bell boy had a good smile though :)

Worst experience ever. Staff, cleaning everything.

Very disappointed, don’t think how the pics are or how the lobby looks, rooms are totally different then the lobby. Besides that even the staff is very rude they literally don’t care about you if you paid online cause its cheaper then they charge if you are walk in customer so on every thing that was wrong he said the website is lying and it is what is it. Very bad experience.

Not mended even if you're on a budget!

That's a very poor place, I wouldn't even call it a hotel.. The room was in a very bad condition and wasn't exactly clean, it's barely 1 star, I styed in excellent proper 4 star hotels in Dubai for only double the amount.. Actually the entire neighbourhood is horrible, after checking in I quicly left and only came back to sleep on the smelly bedsheets, and left early in the next morning!

Cockroach infestation

Cockroach infestation. In the bedrooms. We were shown over 5 rooms and all with cockroaches. They just need to clean all the rooms. Then the hotel will be cheap and cheerful.
