I chose this room for the ambience and the location to the historic district. It is walking distance from the gold souk, spice souk, arabian perfume souk, and close to the abra boat rides that cross the Dubai Creek to get to the fabric stores and the local Museum (a must see!). The hotel staff went beyond their way to make our one night stay (we were a family of 4 with 2 kids) comfortable. We came in early and were able to store the carry on luggage, were offered early check-in options by noon, received filtered water to take to our scheduled tour of the city, and were provided with local tips to navigate the city! We were also able to choose out room from two rooms that met our reservation criteria. During checkout, we needed an early checkout so we would have missed our breakfast, but the staff was very accommodating and prepared our included breakfast and sent it to our room by 5:30 AM before his shift ended. This permitted us to leave on time to catch our flight with a full stomach! :) I am so grateful for this additional service.
The room was unique: decorated with lanterns and paintings. Also, the bed was very large. All furniture had an antique look which helped us gain a unique experience.
The only slight discomfort was the smell in the general area and the heat in the lobby area. I wish they had kept the lobby cooler. Again when it's 45 degrees Celcius outside, it's difficult to keep a large area cool.
