My stay at the hotel was amazing! The upgrade to the executive room was totally worth it, especially with the included breakfast, all-day soft drinks, and evening happy hour. The room was incredibly spacious with a huge, well-insulated window offering a fantastic view. The bed was super comfortable, and the bathroom was clean and luxurious with a shower and bathtub. The staff were attentive and helpful, although there was a slight delay during breakfast time. The location was great, close to the old souks and water taxis, making exploring very convenient.

The hotel was not ready at the time of check-in, and the room was very small and not suitable for three adults. However, there was an upgrade available to the standard of a king in Dubai. The room was located beside the elevator, which was noisy and disturbing. The room and bathroom design were not convenient.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were very comfortable, with plenty of storage space and excellent views, but the Deluxe room was a bit pricey. The service was impressive, with polite and always ready staff members available for assistance. The location was convenient, especially for the airport and train station, but a bit far from tourist hotspots. The dining experience had its ups and downs, being superb at times but not up to the mark on other occasions. Overall, a pleasant experience with some minor drawbacks.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with stunning views of the Creek and downtown Dubai, which is truly amazing. The service is top-notch, especially from welcoming staff members like Saber, who provides exceptional assistance. The location is convenient for both shopping and exploring the historic areas of Dubai. However, the dining options, while tasty, can be a bit repetitive.

The hotel is very clean and new, but the rooms were very small and not suitable for 3 adults. The staff could not have been more helpful or mannerly, particularly Rachael and Rasheed were amazing and super friendly from the beginning of our stay till the checkout. The location is just near to the mall and metro station, making it easy transfer wise from the airport. The dining experience was very good and tasty at Great Oaks.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of great experiences and some minor drawbacks.

The hotel's location is excellent, set within a beautifully restored Souk area of 'old Dubai' and perfect for those looking to stay in Deira. The rooms, while generously sized with floor-to-ceiling windows reflecting the Creek and Bani Yas road outside, had views of the building next door, which might not be ideal for families with young children. The service was top-notch, with all staff being polite, efficient, and particularly outstanding in the restaurant and housekeeping. The dining experience met expectations with a beautiful selection and a cute kiddies section, though eating elsewhere might be necessary.

Staying at this hotel was incredible with spacious rooms well-fitted with very comfortable beds within walking distance from the old town. The friendly and helpful service made my stay enjoyable, but there was an unfortunate incident with one disrespectful staff member. The location was excellent for me near the old Dubai Creek port, though it might not be ideal for those looking to be closer to the financial center and Dubai Mall. The dining experience had an excellent choice, but some dishes were not up to par.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with excellent facilities and views of the creek, which are cleaned very well. The rooms are spacious enough for three people, making them ideal for both work and relaxation. However, some aspects could be improved, like the charging of security deposits for certain items in the rooms, such as a non-functional fridge, which was unexpected. The delayed check-in during Eid holidays was a minor inconvenience that affected our initial experience.
