Upsides: friendly staff, good location in one of the few bits of Dubai to retain any character, reasonable value for money, clean and comfortable.
Downsides: no convenient power point for laptop use in room (a significant omission in a place that's likely to have a lot of business guests), slightly odd room layout with a lot of space wasted on a pointless entrance area, staff sometimes too busy to provide immediate service, on-site Indian restaurant a little disappointing. (Try the one in the nearby Taj Palace hotel instead - absolutely superb.)
