Guest Reviews

• MIZANUR (2/5): - Nothing, room was substandard like an Indian slum, waterleak reported but hotel management doesn't care, rather blaming patron for the leak
• Verified traveler (2/5): Unlike pictures, old and tattered - Looked nothing like the pictures. Very old furnishings, TV didn't work, housekeeping never answered calls in the night, shower fitting and taps almost worked
• Jeevan (8/5): Good service - Good hotel and sarvise
• Harjot (6/5): - Old property but spacious rooms
• Catarina (10/5): Very good - The staff very friendly and there for you. I will stay there again. I do recommend.
• Mandeep (8/5): - Cleaning
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Hotel has a night club and at night time all rooms are shaking like hell and noise just drives you crazy. Beside that very dirty rooms with rude staff. I suggest no one should stay there for any cost. I checked in the hotel and left in 20 minutes even thought I had paid for the full 2 night
• Roderick (8/5): Room size - Although the room is a bit tight for 2 persons, place was quite good.
• Harry (2/5): - Please don’t take your family here. This place was designed for party goers. The music is super loud till 3am. After that a bunch of drunk men talk outside till about 5am. The condition of the rooms is super old. Bathrooms don’t work and all the rooms are smoking rooms. Overall the place was discussing.
• Verified traveler (6/5): A MIXED BAG - Room starting to look a bit faded. Comfortable bed. Shower a bit dilapidated, boiling hot water. Kettle didn't work. Good TV. In-room safe. Daily efficient housekeeping and fresh towels every day. TGIT bar was ok, but fills up with African ladies at night. Pancho Villa music very loud, so I heard it a long way away, until 3am (and I'm hard of hearing). Laundry prices average. I needed a late check-out, and it was cheaper to book an extra night on hotels.com than to pay the hotel charge which would have ended at 6pm. After that, it's a full daily rate. Staff were pleasant, especially the luggage guy. I'd stay again, mainly through price.
• Muhammed (2/5): - Absolutely filthy hotel avoid at all costs. Iv stayed at many other 3 star hotels which were in good conditions but this hotel I would rate 1 star...first room I had it stinked of sewage I couldn’t tolerate the smell went down told the receptionist he changed it to another room which stinked of ciggerettes. Paid over £45 night I could have got a better deal. My room was on 4 floor filthy place felt so disgusted sleeping in this hotel glad it was for only 1 night.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Interesting location - The location was good especially if you plan on taking the Hop on, Hop Off bus. It's fairly close to the Museum. So I guess I would consider it good but not great.
• Verified traveler (2/5): Stay Away! - Cockroaches everywhere. Bathroom floors looked like they haven't been cleaned in months. Horrible customer service. Stay anywhere except here.
• Paul (4/5): Not a nice hotel - Facilities is not adequate in rooms. Especially in the toilet,
• Vishal (2/5): Horrendous Rooms - The rooms were stinking, the carpet in the room are older than my lifespan, stinky by rooms, stinking curtains, dirty linen. Please don’t stay at this hotel. Not recommended for Families as in the night it is unbearable with the amount of Girls swarming around
• shabeer (8/5): Close to a home - Great staff always helpful ! Great location
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Location congested. Night club on premises , great disturbance to sleep.
• GAURAV (4/5): Not worth it - Small rooms , slow internet , cockroaches all over , they charge u for dental kit , no iron machine and board , mal functional safe locker
• Mansoor (6/5): - The room was booked for a king size bed, but they had none. This was second time the Hotel could not come up with the booked request. They gave us twins. There was an ashtray/match box that means it was not a non-smoking room eaither.
• Benjamin (10/5): Book it and have no regrets! - Stayed for 6 nights. I would for sure recommend it to anyone. Everything was just right. I hope to use the hotel in the future.
• Ben (6/5): Nice hotel with close transport links - A nice hotel with close transport links on the metro with access to the major attractions. Staff were very friendly who attended to my every need. The surrounding area is also enjoyable and a lot cheaper than other areas -plenty of restaurants and shops close by. Enjoyed my stay!
• Joel (2/5): Stay with family - Very bad experience
• Staj (6/5): A basic budget hotel. - Astoria is an old hotel that is adequate for what it is used for. If you are looking for a clean budget hotel in the bur dubai area then this would do. Very close to creek so easy to go over to deira if you require. I wouldnt recommend for families but if you are a sole traveller who has some business to attend to and is looking for something very basic then this is it.
• art. (8/5): My experience at Astoria Hotel - Hotel is Ok. first night very noise music and dance on first floor {no good} but I talk to the man at 3:00 am that night he was very nice he transfer me to room 428 then was Ok. staff very good If I go again to Dubai I will stay same room Thank You Art.
• sanjay (8/5): Nice hotel in hub of dubai. - Excelled and comfortable stay. Friendly staff.good facilities like club bar.good food.
• Rohayem (6/5): Big rooms , average location - The Hotel is located in the oldest area in Dubai , you will not be in the modern part of the city but you are in the middle of gold market and many other shops (most of it Indian). The good thing it's near from AL Shandagha City Center and Carrefour Al Shindagah where you can find many well known and modern shops , it's also very close to to a big bus station that can take you many other cities like Sharjah and other northern emirates. The hotel itself have large rooms , many facilities like (restaurant, parking , club and a massage place - not real spa) , it's little noisy old furnished with old bathrooms.
• PHILIP (10/5): Good value hotel - Good value hotel Nightclub on Friday night is noisy up til 2am
• Yousuf (6/5): good - hotel was good with free parking which was very important. room was nice too but AC control wasn't working. cockroaches were wandering around.
• Verified traveler (2/5): Dirty, old, smelly. - My duvet was stained and the bathroom filthy. The room was dark, small and unclean. There was also an animal scratching at the walls from outside while I was trying to sleep which was very unnerving. Online it said there was a jetted bath but the bath was old, dirty and definitely not jetted with a hot water cylinder over head. The staff were pleasant but my overall experience was not very good at all. I certainly wouldn't stay there again, especially as a solo female.
• ramen (4/5): bad cheap hotel - Your booking was perfect but hotel is in very bad condition,wifi doesn't works,leakage from every tap ,bed too soft had a severe back pain still suffering from it,overall a bad experience
• Stefan (6/5): Night club is loud - The Indian night club is very loud, even in the uppermost floor (4th), at least I had this on a Thursday night until 3 am.
• Mark (8/5): - Nightclub noisy till 3 am on two nights of our stay
• Verified traveler (6/5): hotel close to shops - The hotel was really tired the room was clean but very old and tired in desperate need of renovation. The shower room was horrible cracked tiled pls stained bath.no jacuzzi as per Website. Dissapointed in hotel but staff are amazing which is why we stayed
• Nadeem (2/5): Welcome to a horrible experience. - I will not recommend this hotel to my worst enemy. If you hate yourself and wanna have a really bad experience then go ahead and book it. If you can bear the loud music from second floor till 4am then be thier guest. Overall its a disastour.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - The TV channels are very limited And sports channel or news channel which are paid are missing
• Verified traveler (2/5): Bad reputation - The hotel has a bad reputation. Just google this hotel and read reviews on TripAdvisor. I was forewarned by the cab driver on way to the hotel, and my relatives who knew about the hotel's reputation kept questioniing my motives! I avoided the nightclubs. The stay was fine apart from a lot of noise from people talking loudly in the corridors. They also unexpectedly charged an extra 10 Dirhams a night as 'tourist fee'. Not sure if this is a Government fee. Also kept my Passport for few hours for a 'security check'. Again, don't know if all Dubai hotels do this. While checking out, another hotel guest came up to me to tell me how terrible his experience had been and was trying to discourage me, just in case I was checking in. Didn't expect to find/book like this on Expedia. Expedia: why do you list this hotel?
• Damien (6/5): Easy acess to the metro to get around dubai - It was a good stay they could do with Refurbishment of rooms
• chirag (2/5): great tour - nothing great but prostitusion activity is nearbye
• Verified traveler (6/5): Overall nice stay - Good stay. Good staff. Bathrooms need better maintainence. Thanks to reservation manager for quick hasslefree help.
• Balasubramani (6/5): Comfortable stay - Comfortable stay. Big rooms and good service
• Balasubramani (6/5): Comfortable stay - Comfortable stay. Good service
• Syed (6/5): Location is good near to shopping area - lot of disturbance due to many clubs in the hotel building but one thing is good that they never allow any club activity in the hotel lobby i feel very comfortable during my stay it is difficulty to find parking
• Verified traveler (4/5): A night club with a hotel attached - Noisy reception with a very noisy night club
• Verified traveler (2/5): - a cheap hotel. not recommended if you want peace and quiet. conversations in the hallway can be heard inside the room as the bottom part of the door is not sealed.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Decent hotel for the price paid - Easy conductivity, good location. Hotel has some good & pleasing staff. Clean room but old bedding & blanket. Difficult to get car parking inside the hotel premise & minor issues with wifi. Overall good hotel for the price paid.
• Virendra Kumar (10/5): Approach & parking a car was slightly difficult - Stay was comfort
• Rebeca (8/5): Great location and kidness people - The hotel is really well located, just one block from dubai creek, metro and bus station. Nearby there are a lot of places to buy and just crossing the dubai creek you find the gold souk, the perfect place to buy everything in Dubai. The hotel is not expensive at all, the breakfast is normal, some hindi stuff and eggs, cereal, good enough for people like me that do not eat to much. Perfect to travel cheap and nice.
• Salim (8/5): Good stay - So difficult to find parking & the area is so busy, hotel is little bit old, lobby need to be more bright, room was good & with a comfortable bed, neat & clean but kinda old, overall not bad for the price you pay. The best thing is cheak in / out process, smooth & super fast.
• B R (6/5): - Nothing too fancy, offers what it claims to offer.
• abantika (8/5): Dubai Trip - gud hotel. close to the metro and many eateries
