Value for money hotel in Academic city

This is a large 6-building hotel structure with rooms spread out across these 6 low-rise buildings. 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.

8/10 Very good

A new quite area. Far from downtown and other business related places. 10-15 minutes drive from nice collection of restaurants.
mobsting, 10-night trip

8/10 Very good

Booked a single room which was bigger than I expected, comfortable bed, complimentary mineral water replenished daily, water kettle with complimentary coffee and tea, and air conditioning was functional; the safe didn’t work but fortunately I didn’t urgently need it, and no hairdryer was provided; breakfast was ok, reception staff said I could get a business invoice upon check-out but for some reason they couldn’t give it to me and just said they will email it to me. Location was fine considering my conference was at the university close to the hotel, but unfortunately it was far from downtown.

jilan raifeh, 10-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very polite and helpful staff. One of the strongest aspects. Spacious building, not fair from airport and in heart of Academic City. Food hygiene is a concern in this heat. Great gym - which is why I booked and pool is nice too. Not really anything to do locally. Can have noisy neighbours with thin-ish walls and some repairs/final finishing touches to building.
