    Although the toilet was clean the refurbishing looked a little mismatched, mixing old facilities with new ones. For example the shower faucets were new but the bath tub looked dated. I enjoyed being in Bur Dubai, which is the traditional part of the city, but if you are looking for fancy skyscrappers, it's better you look in Dubai Marina or elsewhere.

    Great location, at walking distance from Al Ghubaiba bus station. There is also a bus stop nearby or you can walk to Sharaf metro station. The room was very spacious, with a dining room tablewith four chairs. Wifi worked well. The mattress was very comfortable.

    The staff were very helpful and the hotel was very clean and well looked after. Extremely good value for money.

    There are only drawback that I want to bring to attention: 1) Not enough Lighting in the room - Lighting can be improved 2) Breakfast - Breakfast is a bit expensive compared to the other restaurants near by.

    Gateway Hotel is located in Old Dubai. Fairly close to Gold and spice souk. We liked our stay as it is was definately value for money. I would recommend this place for big families who are keen on visiting Dubai as a tourist

    Some guests can be noisy late at night but that’s nothing against the hotel.

    Gateway review March 2-12 We now consider ourselves to be regulars at this hotel. Having stayed in many of the high end hotels like Versace, Atlantis the Palm, Waldorf and Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi, this is our favourite for many reasons. Friendly staff, ultra clean, good food, central area for transport and shopping. Great rooftop pool. Abu from Delhi on Security, Umam from Peshawar and John from Kenya and the others at the front entrance are all so helpful and friendly. Great for a chat and so kind. Reception staff are also excellent , Prakash and others order our food deliveries from the local restaurants.👍🏽. Dippin the manager is such a kind professional guy from Kerala who runs a great team, he kindly ensures I get a fabulous room to accommodate my mobility issue, many many thanks kind sir. In the pool it is Rishi who takes great care of us, a lovely young guy from Sri Lanka. The restaurant staff are exemplary and genuine. Kyoto is so sweet and very knowledgeable for one so young. Ahmed and Khalid from Egypt are so kind and good mannered. They all make breakfast a delight. Minuka is a little treasure and all the staff are but I don’t know all the names yet. As I’ve previously said don’t be looking for balconies or views as there are none. It ticks all the boxes and makes a very pleasant stay. See you all next month Inshallah.

    Nothing special except stay a bit longer !!!

    The hotel is in compliance with the description, a "good value for money". It's well-located, 5 minutes walk from a metro station (sharaf DG), full of restaurant around, market for shopping nearby, Museum,... But most of all, the hotel is very clean, the room I booked was spacious and all the staff is very helpful: Special thanks to "Jioty", a very kind lady always takes care of your well-being.

    Guests were asked to show their identity before visiting the rooms and had to have their licence or emirates id or passports scanned. This was very dicey and shady on the hotels part. Guests were also told that if they stayed for more than an hour they would be charged a one day rate. Very unprofessional on the hotels part. This was brought to the notice of the manager Dipen who informed his staff that guest would not be charged a days rate if they stayed for more than an hour in the room. Guest were also not allowed to use the hotels parking to park their vehicles. The pool also opened from 9am to 6pm only compared to other hotels which opened their pools till 8pm.

    Very central to all amenities. Very close to a lot of restaurants and shopping location. Good gym. Friendly staff. Our room cleaner Saugat was very good. He cleant the room very well and restocked it with water everyday.

    Good welcoming from all staff, clean room , good location, the only thing in regards of the breakfast as mostly all the food is for Indian people. But I made myself with what available for me, such as bread, eggs, fruits and juice.

    Maybe the location but it’s very convenient if you are going to the international airport

    They upgraded our booking room for something amazing (they gave us bigger and higher quality room than what we have booked as it turned out that such a room was free. They were that nice to offer us better room :)). The breakfast was great - buffet with wide variety of the things and the staff was really nice and helpful too!!
