    The regulation of the aircondition was limited, the fan was either on or off, subtle regulation was impossible. It was not a dissaster, but it could be better. Once or twice I had to stand up in the midle of the night and turn the fan on or off. Gluten free bread for breakfast would be appriciated, but I noticed that the avalability og gluten free diet and knowledge about coeliac dissease in the UAE is not on the same level as it is in Europe.

    This time It was already my 3rd visit to Dubai and I chose this hotel becasuse of its situation close to Dubai Creek and the hostorical center with its famous markets. The conditions for cancellation (if needend) before arrival were also generous. The situation is excellent, close to the metro station Al Ghubaiba and the bus terminal of the same name. I was pleasantly surprised by the size of my room, it was really large, I cant remember I had had such a large hotel room before. Everything was clean, the room service did a good job. The staff was nice and helpfull, especially the main manager Jyoti, a young lady, obviously very busy making the stay as pleasant as possible for every guests. She asked me about my needs several times a day and she was really willing to help. The berakfast was good, gluten free bread was not available but it was compensated by wide choice of other food. Wi-fi conncetion was fast and stable. It took only about 30 minutes by bus to get to good beaches.

    Unfortunately, the pool was under maintenance when we first arrived, so we missed most of the pool days. Shame really as they have a lovely rooftop pool with warm water. My grand daughter loved it.

    Family room was just right, cleaning staff did great cleaning every day. Concierge very helpful with advise and directions of where to go. Management staff very polite

    See in the morning Breakfast today, a guy named Khalid was extremely rude to the guests as at exactly 1030 AM without inform anyone the breakfast was removed...we requested him to provide 2 to 3 dishes on table which he replied I m sorry time is time....my point is yes agreed, but rude behavior not acceptable also, he could have come to our table and conveyed we would close the buffet in 5 minutes please help yourselves....also he could have served few dishes ordered by me and other guests.... It was curd and salad...he was extremely uncomfortable even to look at us while speaking....as if we are alien....

    Front office staff and room service staff were extremely cooperative ....stay was extremely comfortable, and Jyoti Jinky and Inderjeet were really cooperative...kudos to the team...

    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.

    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.
