Guest Reviews

antony (10/5): - Stayed 4 nights in golden sands 5 . It’s very clean and well communicated . The service was good . The metro station sharaf DG is 15 min walks . And groceries and restarents ante near by . Best location to access everything .
Mohamed (10/5): - Great
Verified traveler (10/5): Comfortable stay near the station - This property resembles a service apartment. It had everything I needed, including a mini kitchen equipped with plates, utensils, pots and pans. The best part was the in-room washing machine, which allowed me to do laundry without leaving the apartment. A drying rack was also provided, which I set up on the balcony. The hotel features a front desk that seems to operate 24 h. It's about a 10-min walk to the Sharaf DG station (Green Line station #5) and apparently a 25-30 min walk to the Old Soul near the harbor.
Nahla (2/5): - Property is very old property, own egoistic management- especially manager-Hadi. Its resturant serve very old food and very reluctant to accept feedback. They like to charge for any simple service. Seems all they care is to make money and not care for customers. Very terrible management.
SYEDA (10/5): - Best part of stay was breakfast so many choices to eat from! We loved it
Jennie (10/5): - The hotel is clean, accessible and close to every thing. Easy parking without fee
Alexander (8/5): - We have used Golden Sands 3 and 5 on and off for 25 years, The staff,as ever, are friendly, polite and always helpful. The apartments in 5 are comfortable and very tidy however they are starting to show their age, Golden Sands 3 has had a recent make over and looks fantastic its about time for 5 to recieve the same attention. The area is ideally located for local shops and dining and is within easy walking distance to the Metro. We will be returning in 2026/27 and are looking forward to it.
Anoop (10/5): - It’s best place to stay with family and kids.
Vikashdeep (10/5): - It feels safe to stay here The place was clean
Paresh (10/5): - Our stay at Golden Sand Aprtment 10 was awesome and it was good experience. Located in prime area in Karama with all restaurants and groceries shops in walking area. Staff and management service was really good
Patricia (10/5): - The staff was amazing, kind & helpful. I want to also rave about Mubashar he was great, he greet us with such a warm & kind smile everytime we came back from our tours. He went above and beyond to ask us how we were doing. The apartment was so clean & the staff was very helpful.
Merly (8/5): Experience in Golden Sands - On checked in I was greeted with in-experience staff. I have been going to Dubai for a lot of years now, and always used Bonvoy hotels and IHG as I am a member. For a change I wanted to try the golden sands as in the past Golden sand was good place to stay, however on this visit, I am dis-appointed, the reception staff did not even know that they provide toiletries!!! Giving me wrong information. Location is ok. Apart from a bad experience from reception staff rest of my stay are ok. Staff called MOBI in the evening shift was made my stay ok, he is present at the reception helped me with my luggage when I arrive. Gave information I need that the reception should done in the first place. I suggest reception staff Mary should have further training with the service provided and Sadam for customer service training etiquette.
Kyung S (10/5): - Very secured
John Patrick (6/5): - Stayed for 10 days. Staff were very pleasant however i had trouble enjoying a shower due to poor hot water supply
John (6/5): - Poor supply if hit water for shower.
James (8/5): 2nd Stay a GS 5 - The house keeping staff excellent, very helpful very friendly and credit to Golden Sands. I found some of the checkin staff to be a little hostile sometimes. Which was a shame. This is my second stay a Golden Sands 5 and would come back, just hope the check in staff given a little bit more training on being friendly and helpful, this was not all the checkin staff, some of them very nice
Vishal (4/5): - First 2 days we suffer with many things like blockages, tripping, basin till last day they have not replace the filter.
Yordanos (8/5): - I like everything the front desk and the house keeping we are enjoying , but I don’t like when they smoked inside the room
Srinivas (10/5): - Good place with easy access to Metro and restaurants

Verified traveler (10/5): Great experience for family - It was good to get a 2 BHK type of apartment flat in a hotel. Perfect for a family!!
julien (10/5): Perfect! - Very good expérience.
Al (10/5): Great for families - Great amenities, staff and location. Property could use some maintenance but other than that it was great. I'm definitely coming back
denise (10/5): - Staff . Friendliness. Service. Excellent. Well Positioned near shops . And metro.
Mohammad (10/5): - Rooms were Great, location was excellent and most of all the Golden Sands 5 Team was the Greatest of all (I do travel a lot around the world) . Thanks !
Kelly (2/5): Don’t stay - Can’t get in the car park until you are checked in. Reception man was on the phone and checked me in still on the phone to someone else. Had a premier room but was so run down and needed a good clean! Ac vents all black and so load! Windows so thin it sounds like the window is open and every 30 mins someone slams a door! No sleep!!!
Ibrahim khan (4/5): - This is very old property and cramped.The toilets are real inconvenient due to the size
Queen (10/5): - I had a great time. It was a calm environment.
Vrunda (6/5): - There are many Golden Sands properties in the area. We stayed at Golden Sands 5 hotel Apartment. The room was dated and the stand up shower door was of not much use. Water was flowing from the shower to the other areas of bathroom making things messy. The towels we were given were old and thin. Kitchenette is very cramped. You will get only one complimentary water bottle for your entire stay, we were told We stayed for 4 nights. Location is not close to any metro station. Do your research before booking
Nicole (8/5): - The staff very nice and helpful. The only complaints I have with the apt. (510) was that the microwave was so dirty that I was unable to use it. Also the oven did not work but luckily the stove/range did. The back bathroom shower handle came off several times while trying to adjust the water temperature. I would suggest instructions on turning the hot water on for the kitchen sink. When we arrived we did not have any towels in the bathrooms, the staff did bring hand towels so we had to ask a second time to get bath towels and twice to get a hair dryer. The second bedroom had a TV but no remote. Overall the property was very clean and I would stay again.
Yasir (10/5): - Friendly Staff, accommodating and willing to go extra mile for customers satisfaction. We were there for 18 nights. They made us feel very special. They even decorated the living room for my wife and son’s birthday as complimentary service.
Julie (6/5): - Facilities ok but bathrooms were awful and in need of an upgrade. Hotel staff didn’t sort a leak out despite telling them for several days. Reception was helpful at times but very inflexible with regards to lye checkout
Farkhanda Begum (10/5): - The staff were all great.. great communication and helpful. Room was good too.. Only downfall were the taxi, not the property
Nathalia (2/5): Never again - What a bad hotel in a very bad location. It was like staying in a slum suburb. The booking process is absolutely appalling and hotels.com totally sucks. I now hate this booking platform with a pashion. The photos of the accommodation must have been taken when it was new. 15 years later with close to zero maintenance and the hotel is tired, dirty and very poorly maintained. The pool photos were of another hotel entirely. Such misleading advertising. The room was dirty, with sticky floors near the entrance, the fridge had sticky shelves because they were not cleaned and the fridge couldn't keep the food cool. The air conditioning was noisy, the curtains had holes in them, the towels were threadbare. I hate hotels.com and this hotel
Geoffrey (8/5): great hotel in great location - Rooms are a little old but well equipped and the stay was pleasant. Housekeeping staff were excellent as was reception. Close to metro and shops, I would stay again.
Borre (6/5): Bed super uncomfortable and hard - The beds were WAY too hard. We booked family room but got an «upgrade» we didn’t want cause of problems with AC in one of the family rooms,so we got two double bed rooms instead. We couldn’t understand how this hotel could have got such a high score in hotels.com but we think the explanation lies in the hotel having 13 buildings under the same name,all the same hotel. We were in number 3 and it was old and beds very uncomfortable. People giving higher score must have been used to sleeping on wood or they were in one of the newer buildings.
tomas (4/5): - old , bead smell on each floor , even then you pasing frew the open room doors , room was smell curry , then dump , realy not nice place , sorry but this is the truth
Regina (4/5): - The location was great. Cleanliness and maintenance were horrible.
Mohamed (10/5): - The service provided by Nazeer and the rest of the staff right from the porter to the cleaners... all amazing staff with immaculate communication skills and service was 5 star. Absolutely 💯 loved it and wpuld definitely recommend the apartments. I would comw back for more. 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hassan (8/5): - It is a low-rise building conveniently located near major shopping malls. It is easily accessible by taxi and train. Being a service apartment, it is adequately equipped with essential appliances and amenities such as hot plates microwave oven, washing machine, iron, and a complement of eating and cooking utensils. There is a small gym with running machines, weight machine and free weight, all appear to be properly maintained. The medium pool is medium size and large enough for swimming short laps. Staff is helpful and polite.
Verified traveler (10/5): Amazing Stay - Amazing Stay
Verified traveler (8/5): - Location is central. Staff is courteous abs helpful. Housekeeping needs to be spruced up.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Great place for the price, staff was really attentive. Some issues with the room but other than that an enjoyable stay
Verified traveler (8/5): - I really enjoyed my stay at Golden Sands Hotel Apartments 5. I deeply appreciate Kareem’s help ( He is one of the receptionists). He was a wonderful help during my stay.
Raed (10/5): Brief Review - The overall stay was good, in terms of location and the hotel staff was extremely helpful and courteous. Especially assisting me with the use of the washing machine. I had a studio as a part of my stay and the only issue I would say was the bathroom was little smaller then expected.
Hafizul (8/5): Communication - the communication part can be improved
Brian (8/5): - Overall, it was a nice place. I wasn’t happy that for my first 3 days the tv wouldn’t work & it wasn’t fixed. They ended up bringing a different one to replace it. My only other complaint is the stove. I went to cook spaghetti, & the water barely came to a boil. It took forever to heat up to cook anything else. And the 2 burners are so close together, I couldn’t boil water on one burner, & use the other at the same time!! Golden 5 Rm 405. Otherwise, nice employees & cleaners. My fiancé really liked Marceline. She did a great job.
Verified traveler (4/5): - We stayed in this apartment many time before and this was the worst. The fire alarm keeps going off even just while frying. Utensils were also incomplete. Booked for 6 and only 1 teaspoon.
Verified traveler (2/5): Don't expect a reply. - Booked this stay as an emergency at the last minute as we were stuck in Dubai following a change of Covid-19 rules in our home country. Unlike most places in Dubai, which were sold out at such short notice, this place had lots of availability. Fortunately, we were granted permission to fly at the last minute and communicated our apologies and hoped for a gesture of understanding and goodwill (eg. exchanging for a voucher or switching for a stay later in the year) from Golden Sands. We were told to go through hotels.com, which we did, only for GS to reject our request anyway. When we asked why, GS failed to respond to us several times. Would we recommend it? Well, like I say, we never stayed there. When reading the previous reviews, the reasons why this place had availability become clearer. But it would seem that this place prioritises short-term cash over good, long-term relations with clients anyway. And the failure to respond doesn't exactly represent professionalism :(
Jennelyn (8/5): Highly Recommended - I travelled solo. I arrived in the hotel at 8am but they were gracious to allow me to check in early without extra charge. The room is huge with complete facilities/amenities and I am pleased that it has stove and washing machine. The area is also close to supermarkets and metro stations. Made my stay in the country totally convenient.
Ali (8/5): - Friendly reception team Nice parking clean property
Atul (10/5): Amazing time my family enjoyed! - It was a pleasant stay. My family liked the 2BHK apartment. The staff was helpful to accommodate Our request everytime. Quick service. Swimming pool was well maintained. The only issue we faced was the AC was too cold and was not quick to heatup the while space. Overall great stay experience. My family enjoyed the stay. Kudos!
CamKhan (6/5): - Great Location and was literally close to everything in Dubai, But the property was older and specially bathrooms tubs, kitchen and laundry appliance were garbage and extremely old. Staff was good. Over all stay was Good, But you just have to get used to the older things if u r not..
Rio (10/5): - The apartments were clean upon arrival! My only complaint is the size of the bathroom. Overall, the proximity to Dubai marina and the airport is in the middle of both! It was a good choice to move to this apartment so that I could be somewhat closer to attractions.
Verified traveler (4/5): - Cleaning is poor and the customer service is not good, they didn’t reply to my message before I travelled had emailed them and once I got there I had told them of my concerns and nothing was done. On the last day I get a call from the supervisor regarding my concerns, a bit late for that. Really unprofessional!!
Verified traveler (10/5): - Everything was ok. Except the check in in the first day which I believe was my fault while booking I arrived after midnight and check in was at 14h00. However, the issue was sorted out with early check in.
Verified traveler (10/5): - nice service and nice people clean rooms the hotel is 15 minutes away from dubai mall and old suk, so both parts of dubai (old and new)
Verified traveler (8/5): Excellent location, reasonably good place - Excellent location, a good property and typically had all the regular features for a comfortable stay except for (a) in room electrical adopters and (b) sufficient electrical sockets (there was none around mirror for things like hair dryers or hair iron).
Verified traveler (2/5): Caters for a select personnel - Gave my wife the worst room in the hotel on check-in, taking advantage of her. Noisy room next to cafe, beware. Appliances have issues, washer start switch beware. If your Indian or Filipino you can get a good deal, westerners will be charged more for longer stays than these nationals, which is common in ME which is run by those nationals who discriminate. Be aware! We did not enjoy our stay there and I won't return.
Verified traveler (8/5): - Very good location,the staff,and overall service was very good.
Verified traveler (8/5): - I did not like noisy guests oposite my room, I would recommend your warning in the hotel corridor everyone should respect time from 11 PM untill 8 AM as a sleeping and resting time. Best regards Duska
Verified traveler (2/5): - very outdated property, fringe, washing machine, microwave and ac, is very outdated/ not working, most dirty property I ever seen in my life. Sorry I can’t say any good ting about this property, I won’t go back to this hotel for free 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
Shirley (10/5): - Property is very centrally located to train stations. The cleaners were very good. They would knock on the door and ask if room was to be cleaned which was absolutely good and very proactive. The only thing I did not like was the balcony was never cleaned. It was full of pigeon poo, we could not stand outside, which is very unhealthy. Overall, a great place and location.

We booked with the Executive Lounge which provides free soft drinks and light meals / snacks throughout the day so we never had to but breakfast and an evening snack after a lonf day out was much appreciated.

Verified traveler (10/5): - My family of 6 have just returned from a fabulous 10 days in Dubai. We stayed in an extremely spacious 3 bedroom apartment (1 Queen and 2 twin rooms). There was a spacious lounge, dining room, galley kitchen with door to the balcony (not the greatest view but didn't matter to us), a shower room and two bathrooms (one en-suite) as well as a laundry room with washing machine and tumble dryer. The property is a 5 min walk from the nearest Metro station and a large supermarket and is close to plenty of shops and restaurants. The pool area is clean but as it is enclosed on all sides by the 7 storey building, it isn't in the sun all day. The best bits: the staff are wonderful and nothing is too much trouble. Salah, the lifeguard, gave us some great tips of things to do and Joshua, the concierge, organised four fabulous excursions. We went on the desert safari and on our way home, he called the driver to check we had had a good time. The apartment was very comfortable, beds were made every day and tea/coffee etc were replenished. Could be improved: the bathrooms and kitchen could do with being refreshed as they were a little tired. A table and chairs for the balcony would be a good addition. PLEASE NOTE: the check-in information on Expedia is wrong - you don't need to check-in at Golden Sands 3 as Golden Sands 10 has its own reception desk. We arranged our airport transfer to 3, then had to spend AED25 on two taxis to take us to 10.

Bhanu Prasad (10/5): Clean and well maintained family suite - The hotel has taxi stand just outside the hotel. Metro is 20 min walk away with 41 degrees temperature it difficult to walk out in the month of sept and oct. Good time for the trip is 15Oct to 30Oct.if ur rice lover and want it save on food expense then carry pressure cooker or electric rice cooker. Towels provided are bit scratchy. They provide microwave, fridge, infra red stove top, spoons, knife, tea cups, tea electric water heater kettle, iron box, hair drier, washing machine. The Front Hall had 2 beds, open kitchen, dining table, sofa set with led tv. 1 bed room had queen size bed and attached bathroom. Both the Hall and bed room has a balconey. Avoid buying suveneers from visiting places instead buy from stores like 1 to 10,bay to bay, black & blue, LULU stores as they cost less than 10 aed. The family suite was clean and hygine comfortable for a family of 3 adults and 2 kids. The hotel is quite centraly located in But Dubai that close to meena buzzar,creek Park, dolpinerium, museum,Burj khalifa, Dubai mall, Gold souk, spice souk.
Verified traveler (8/5): - The attention provided by the staff was really good, very helpful and joyful. If we needed anything they would provide in short time. What was somehow lacking was tea spoons and towels. The latest was a problem since the first day and just the last day we got enough towels for everybody. They would send towels everytime we asked for, but the cleaning staff would take them the next day and wouldn't replenish them.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Staff really helpful and friendly. Nothing was to much trouble.
Verified traveler (6/5): - The washing machine was not working and had issues with toilet.
Muhammad (4/5): - Bad smell in the rooms. Reported about smell and was offered a replacement room which too had bad smell. This smell was also in the lobby area but strong air fresheners kept it to minimum. Apart from that service was good and nice quiet hotel in a quiet location.
