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.

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.
