The rooms are quite neat n clean but fairly basic. Having said that, the price at which u get it, is absolutely a value for money deal. This is away from city centre - around 25 mins drive by cab n around 90 Dhs from hotel to Dubai Mall. But its excellent if you want to b around the Academic City area where there are many universities located, almost walking distance from the hotel. ##### Pradeep Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### mobsting Mar 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A new quite area.

Location was fine considering my conference was at the university close to the hotel, but unfortunately it was far from downtown. ##### Deidree Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Nour Aug 13, 2023 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had to stay at best western in academic city for business. The area is literally in the desert there's nothing around you. I got an upgrade to the deluxe room which is spatious comparing to the standard & executive one. But the main problem in this hotel is the bathroom and apparently All the rooms have the same problem. When you shower the whole bathroom will be flooded. We had to stay for a week so this was not practical at all we asked the staff to give us a whipper as a solution but still it is a main inconvenient process. I would really thank the staff at the reception all of them day and night shift they were very cooperative for the bathroom issue and very friendly ##### Nour ### 10/10 Excellent #### WAIL Jan 16, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good hotel ##### WAIL Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Naoki Jan 9, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The breakfast and dinner menus were different every day, which was very convenient for us staying for a long time. ##### Naoki Stayed 8 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### tariro Jan 4, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Guest were happy ##### tariro Stayed 8 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vijaya Nov 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great hotel, a bit distant and away from town, but good facilities and Mr Mahendra at the Garden restaurant was outstanding ##### Vijaya Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peniasi Dec 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Love Vogo hotel Dubai 😍😍 ##### Peniasi Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### MST Nov 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great experience ##### MST Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Binta Jan 4, 2026 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Rooms not clean, very dirty food and not a good customer service. ##### Binta Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [GLOBALSTAY Holiday Homes -
