This hotel was built in 1963, it was the first hotel on the eastern side of Dubai Creek. And being on the creek is a great position; it's close to the gold, spice and old souks. The service was impeccable; the rooms, food..same. Couldn’t fault the place, from doorman to manager.

"A wonderful hotel stay. I stayed two nights post cruise, in late April. I was upgraded to a Creek view. What a lovely room. Large room with a sofa and chair, balcony, refrig and coffee/tea maker, large bathroom with nice amenities. The desk staff were so kind. The hotel had a free morning shuttle to a wonderful beach which I took advantage of, as did many others. Breakfast buffet was also wonderful and reasonable price. The area is an older section of Dubai, and one can walk to the Gold and Spice Souks. Thank you for a wonderful stay."

One of the best hotel services my family and I have encountered. The staff are welcoming and always willing to go an extra mile to ensure that our needs were fulfilled. The staff that particularly stands out the most for us was Muhammad, a Moroccan waiter from the breakfast restaurant who was ready to serve us at all costs with a sincere smile on his face always. Another staff is Hadi from the housekeeping who is creative in the towels he made for our beds each day. It made my family and I laugh and happy. We truly appreciate the efforts given to us throughout our stay. Million thanks to Altaf and all his colleagues at the front desk who were always willing to help us whenever we requested for more. The room with a splendid creek view exceeded our expectations. We will definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who are planning to visit dubai.
