"If you’re looking for a vibrant, budget-friendly stay that captures the spirit of Mumbai in the heart of Dubai, Bombay Backpacker DXB is a solid choice. However the pinned location is wrong. Don’t rely solely on the GPS; contact the hostel for the exact building name or a live location link before you head over so you don't get lost with your luggage. Great stay, but tricky to find!"

Sofitel Dubai The Palm Resort & Spa

8/10 Good
"Breakfast was ok. Not excellent. Usually empty pots. Wait for long. Egg counters, one lady couldn’t understand what I wanted, despite someone else explaining. Didn’t enjoy. Water, simple thing, no dispensers anywhere. Had to buy which was again expensive. No shuttles running between hotel and city to do shopping."
