A nice hotel: not fancy but pleasant and good value although the prices were very high due to the COP28 climate summit (I attended). Very close to the metro and also to some nice small, local restaurants (I enjoyed Dip & Dash, a veg place about a 10-minute walk from the hotel), shops, and pharmacies. Roof deck has good views and the bar stays open very late and had fresh smoothies. But people still smoke at bars in Dubai, and it can be pretty smoky. The staff was very friendly and extremely helpful. That helped make the hotel memorable and would be a reason to go back. One knock on eco-friendliness is daily towel changes, even if you don't want that, and they hadn't installed water purifiers in all rooms, or my room, and you're strongly urged to NOT drink from the tap, meaning (mostly) bottled water.
