Bakit Ito Minamahal ng Mga Tao

- Rooftop pool offers a surprising city view escape
Mabilis na Sumisid: A budget hotel wearing a '5-star' costume that parties harder than its guests might want.
Sinuri ng @tasty_traveluae: I honestly didn't expect much for 150 AED, but this staycation surprised me. The rooftop pool is a great chill spot, and the chef made my eggs fresh at breakfast. It’s not ultra-modern, but for a cheap weekend escape in Dubai, it’s a total win.

Reality check
The 'Sea View' is mostly a view of the Sharjah border and distant horizon, not a beachfront experience.
- You are a solo traveler on a tight budget
- You have a long layover and just need a bed near DXB
- You are a heavy sleeper who enjoys on-site nightlife
Kalinisan & Pagpapanatili
6
- Housekeeping: Daily service is provided, but attention to detail is lacking (dust under beds, missed trash).
- Bathroom hygiene: Hit or miss. Some guests report sparkling tiles, others find mold in grout and hair in drains.
- Maintenance: Aging property. Expect scuffed furniture, peeling paint in corridors, and occasional AC leaks.
- Linens & towels: Towels are often described as thin and graying; linens are clean but not crisp.
- Odors & scents: Common complaints of cigarette smoke lingering in 'non-smoking' rooms and musty drain smells.

No dedicated free shuttle, but it's a short 10-15 minute taxi ride to DXB Terminal 1 or 2.
Does the hotel serve alcohol?
Yes, there are multiple licensed bars and nightclubs on-site.
Is the pool heated?
The rooftop pool is temperature-controlled, making it usable in cooler winter months.
