My stay at the Grand Astoria Hotel was enjoyable, thanks to its fantastic location in Bur Dubai. The neighborhood buzzing with shops and restaurants is a real plus. However, the late-night noise from the nightclub and some maintenance issues like the showers needing repair were a bit disappointing.

The rooms were more on the older side and could use some updates; I noticed a draft and musty smell in my room. But the space was large and clean, which was a plus.

Most of the staff were friendly and helpful, which made my stay pleasant. They even arranged my Desert Safari efficiently. However, I did encounter some inconsistencies in service quality during my stay.

The location is definitely a highlight-close to various shops and only a short ferry ride away from popular spots like the Gold Souk. I really appreciated the easy access to local amenities.

The breakfast options were somewhat limited since it was mostly Indian cuisine. Despite this, the meals were tasty. I wish there were more variety to cater to different tastes.

The facilities were basic with no swimming pool on-site, but I learned I could use the pool next door. It's a decent option but expect no high-end luxuries.

My stay at Grand Astoria Hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, allowing easy access to local attractions and amenities. However, the experience was marred by poor service and noise from the nightclubs in the building that disrupted my sleep. Overall, it seemed more suitable for those seeking a party atmosphere rather than a relaxing hotel experience.

My stay at the Grand Astoria Hotel in Dubai left me quite underwhelmed. The rooms, though clean, felt outdated and lacked basic amenities like a mini-bar or tea-making facilities. The location was convenient, right in what felt like the heart of Little India and there was a bar, but the overall experience was marred by the atmosphere, which seemed more focused on nightlife than comfort or relaxation.
