“A reasonable cheap hotel”
A reasonable cheap hotel. Well located for Deira and Bur Dubai, 200m from Union metro station (which is an interchange for both lines when the green line opens), and not too far to walk to the Abra stations to cross the creek. About 20-30 min walk to the gold souks.
However, some of the beds are uncomfortable - I was in a triple room for the first night as the room I should have been in was unavailable, and teh floor would ahve been softer than the matttress! The room I was then moved to, with a double bed, was much comfier. The noise is the main problem - I was on the third floor and could still hear the music from the bar until well into the early hours of the morning, work went on on a nearby contruction site until very late, it is on a busy road with lots of car horns blaring until late, and noise travels easily from the corridor and other rooms - when next door were using the bathroom it sounded like they were in mine; I could even hear teh light switch!
