            Good value for an overnight stay”

            The hotel is located in Al Rigga which is an 8 minute walk from the Union Metro station. The room is small but has complete amenities. You have a bathtub and a small fridge. There’s no free water or coffee. You have to pay for it. However you can purchase from one of the stores nearby. The room was clean and the bed was comfy. It’s good value for the money you paid for. The receptionist and the usher guy should smile more often so they don’t get misinterpreted by the customers for being rude. If I was asked if I will come back here, my answer would be maybe we will in the future.

            Weird laws and worst place to stay”

            Let’s start with …. I came from abudhabi and booked the room for 2 people because I will flying from DXB airport the following day . My wife came to drop me in the hotel and for my fellow companion who was also flying with me and was the same person for whom I book the room for 2 people , his brother came to drop him in the hotel. So we were four people . We wanted to chat with each other in the room because we will leaving but the hotel front office staff is was so rude and she was first not explaining but in a threading voice said we are not allowed to be in the room . ( visitors are not allowed ) the rule I heard first time after staying in dozen of hotel around the uae . I wanted to speak with the Manager , they called the GM . Very respectfully I spoke with him but he doesn’t even looked at me face to face or have an eye contact . He kept on saying not allowed and all . Then at the last they said only same gender allowed . They really knew that we didn’t have any choice to go to other place and made this no sense rule . After We went to the room . It was the dirtest room I have ever been . There were female hair in the bedsheets and pillows . Pillows had stains . Toilet was dirty with half used accessories like shampoo and lotion and yeap they didn’t have shower gel . I couldn’t connect to internet because according to them my iPhone 11 is not working nicely so that’s why it’s not connected to internet , that gave a good laugh . I think I saw bedbugs too. But I was so tired that I just slept . So thank you for the wonderful stay and I like to tell everyone that please find other hotel there are thousands in Dubai . But don’t go in the cheap places like this. Very very rude front office people.

            The hotel is situated in a very sketchy and dark area although there is a metro station nearby. The hotel as mentioned is 3 star just for the sake of name. The hotel receptionist an Arab lady was very rude and they had no hospitality. They made us wait for half hour just for registration

            So yea this is one the best budget hotels in Rigga. I hardly have any cons for this as its only a 3 star hotel.. But pros yes.. Its checkin and check out times are great 12 pm check in and check out at 1 pm. The rooms are small and very cozy. Most important I look for cleanliness and yes they have clean new sheets.. However there is no drinking water bottles provided in the room and no tea/ coffee station. However it's not that important as there are plenty of 24 hours supermarket and restaurants just walking distance
