Check-in was smooth and excellent service at front desk by Ahmed. Though the request for change was accomodated, both the alternative rooms offered had some housekeeping/maintenance issues that was sorted out. Breakfast was good and staff was friendly. Good support at check-in by Ganesh and at check-out by Jimmy. Overall service was excellent, but property condition requires improvement.

This is the worst hotel in Dubai probably, don’t even pay any money for this place, service is horrible and facilities are even worse. Valet is a rip off and I usually waited 30-40 mins just for someone to park my car. STAY AWAY from this hotel at all costs!

This hotel is horrible , the staff is not friendly and the breakfast is not worth it. We wake up to find bed bugs in our bed we notified staff but they did not care at all. There was also black mold all over the hotel room and the bathroom was so dirty. Do not come to this hotel. I’m going to attach the pictures with the mold inside the bathroom.

The hotel is in good area but what I don't like is that when we checked in, we had to wait for almost an hour after the supposedly check-in time which is 2pm.
When they took us to our room, we had to wait outside because they weren't done cleaning, vacuuming and changing the beddings.
The room was dirty. The bed is very uncomfortable.
There's only 1 outlet for the coffee machine and the refrigerator so we kept on unplugging it between the two.

Kery

We had a room with a small living room area, two twin beds, another room with king bed and one bathroom. There was also adequate closet space and a mini fridge, safe, kettle, and two coffee/tea cups. It was spacious and clean.

However, if there are multiple people staying in one room, provide more than one room key at check in. If you only provide one key, once they are in the room they have to use that key to put in the key holder to have access to the electricity and A/C in the room. If there are two people, give two room keys, for three people give three room keys, etc. This is important because just because people check in together, does not meant they will stay together and go the same places at the same time. Also, I understand reusing the room keys once someone checks out, but at least colorox wipe/clean the room key before giving it to another person because the room keys were dirty.

The same issue with the room keys occurred with the towels. Provide the adequate number of towels and wash cloths per person in the room.

The breakfast buffet was unorganized and disappointing. No one checked us in or took us to a table. You basically have to grab a table wherever you can and ask the staff to clean it off for you, and they just clean off the plates/bowls/cups but do not wipe down the table. The seating area is very limited. Staff should monitor guests to ensure they are taking the food to put on their plates with utensils and not their hands.

The hotel itself has become a bit outdated even the rooms interior and decor feels old. The room had lingering cigarette smoke smell which made it quite uncomfortable, unfortunately they were fully booked so I couldn't even change rooms.
Staff did not clean the room for 2 days, no vacuuming was done, even tissue roll was replaced after repeatedly calling housekeeping multiple times.
Breakfast buffet was largely Indian menu and maybe I was expecting it to be better.
The location is superb, the bus stop is directly at the doorstep and Metro station (Green line) is just a 5 minute walk away. A few stations away you can even change to Red line so it's super convenient. It's at the heart of Deira (Baniyas Square) where the Gold souq, Dubai Creek and other famous areas of old Dubai are just a short walk away.
Overall, maybe the great location makes up for the other shortcomings.

Service is very good - All the people working there are very nice - Vani, Amir, Sajjad, Mylene, Haidee, The manager in the dining room and his prime assistent, the receptionist from the Philipines that I don't remember her name - all were very nice and helpfull. The room is big, nice and very comfortable. The view from the room to the creek was great. Food is very good - both in the dinner and in the breakfast - a large variety of options. Location is excellent - Near all the souks - gold, spices... - and also you can take a few minutes boat in 1-2 AED to the other side to visit Al Seef and also the museum of illusions.

Dont stay here, they will sell your rooms and lie

Having booked our room for the day before as we had a 2am arrival we were told our rooms has no water or power so we would have to stay in another hotel for the night.. Not what you need at 2am and it was obvious they had sold our rooms for the night and were lying to our faces. The alternate was a flea pit with stained beds and bathroom of mould.. I took pics. The next morning we had to go back to the Pearl Creek and the manager admitted they sold our rooms and lied about it. Never could I recommend this place. When they lie and make up fabrications it's as low as you can get at 2-3am.. it started our stay off badly and wasted our valuable time moving about.

Great value hotel in good location

Hotel was at a bargain price in Dubai. Great location close to metro stop for travel to/from airport and to everywhere else in Dubai. Great location for exploring old Dubai on foot. Boat to cross river leaves from in front of hotel for 1 Dirham. Higher floors also have an excellent view over river and of Dubai. Room was large and very clean, modern and comfortable. English tv channels were appreciated too. Nice pool area and a well equipped gym. Did not eat in the hotel itself so no comment there. The hotel does not serve alcohol. Alcohol in Dubai only available at a high price in some of the larger hotels and not take away. That aspect aside, I would certainly return to this hotel for any future trips to Dubai.

Good Location

A nice hotel in a good location. We had a deluxe room with a view over the Creek which was lovely especially at night seeing all the lights on the boats. The room itself was spacious and very clean & tidy. Checking in was a bit slow and the ground floor reception area can get quite cramped. Breakfast was very good plenty of choice. A word of warning do not book a taxi with the concierge as we were quoted 80 dirham by him to go to the airport at 6 am as he told us it would be difficult to get a taxi at that time of day. The Operations Manager however advised us that there would be taxis outside the hotel at that time and we did in fact get one quite easily to the airport for 29 dirham!

The location was great, and the staff friendly and helpful.

There was a range of breakfast and evening buffet style food - good for this price range of hotel.
The hotel is showing signs of \"tiredness\" and wear and tear that needs addressing eg poolside area and furniture, bathroom areas, low chairs at tables.
However, I feel it was value for money. I felt safe and would stay there again.

Horrible customer service from front desk clerks

Front desk clerk named Michelle and the manager were very rude. Upon arriving to check in they canceled my reservation and it took 2 hours for me to find out why. I notified hotels.com and they notified the Hotel that my flight was delayed until the next day. Michelle told me that they never received the notice and they could only give me the room for the current rate which was 4 times the rate that I booked. I had to call hotels.com to resolve the issue. Michelle hung up on the hotels.com representative twice. We waited a total of 4 hours and 30 mins before receiving a room key. During our stay the front desk clerks never greeted me or my friends and when we requested outlet adaptors we never received them. We ended up going out to buy adaptors.
