My girlfriend and I stayed on the 6th floor of his hotel and although the loud music downstairs didn’t keep us awake it was quiet loud and noticeable.
The room was excellent a sitting room/bedroom arrangement.
Room service was inconsistent but once we started using the door sign for ‘room ready to clean’ things got better. Some days we did not get all our towels and had to ask.
Swimming pool was small but adequate and seating area around the pool was small but quiet. We had it to ourselves most of the time and could order food or drink from phone by pool side. The pool bar did not open until 7 which I felt negated the whole point of a pool bar.
My girlfriend had a bad first impression of this hotel as she had stayed in Dubai before and had expected better. We soon realised though that Dubai is very spread out and we were as central as anyone else.
The hotel bars were dark and seedy with prostitutes haunting the place. The drink was surprisingly good though.
There are excellent supermarkets either side of the hotel where there is all the usual western food stuffs etc. We found these very useful for breakfast where we bought plastic bowls and spoons for our cornflakes.
There is a tourist guide in the hotel lobby who will grab you at some stage or another during your stay.
He gave some good advice and arranged the safari and tickets to wild wadi and a cruise on the creek. Avoid the city tour though, this is done in a cramped 4 x 4. There are plenty of tour buses in the city, try and get one of those.
All in all this hotel is probably OK for the money you pay.
