Stayed in Dubai a lot longer than anticipated and end up changing hotels several times and going where sale is. We tried to stay withing 4 stars and may be 3 stars on some cases. But this hotel is rated 3 stars. Let me be clear, we stayed in other 3 stars and even 2, and I have never seen anything more disturbing than that hotel. Why 9d this hotel 3 stars? How did they manage that? 1. From receptionist was super not friendly and total unprofessional. 2. The hotel smelled awful 3. Offer no parking and no front personal to guide or help you at least unload your car etc 4. The will refuse to five more than one key, the one you put to make room light up. 5. The lobby is so filled with many people, where everyone looking at you in a weird way as you are from a different planet. Where there many clubs and /or bazzar cheezy bars or not sure what as you are in a very trashy street corner. All that and not entered the room yet 6. The rooms are dark and carpet is brown since you can tell how dirty it is. The room smelled awful, between some kind of strange combination of spices and literly poop smell. 7. Room of course didn't have water kettle or any Cafe or tea. 8. Every hotel in Dubai charges 10 or max 15 Dirham for tourist fee, exceot this one It charges 20 Again, my question is: how do they get 3 stars ratings? Who gives them that? For example we stayed at ibis styles who is categorized as 3 stars... Are you kidding me? If ibis was 3 stars, then Dubai palm should be -3 stars
