Went to Dubai 11th - 16th April on Business.
Did not want to spend too much on hotel
Booked at $121 a night on hotelclub.com
Creek View room.
Was upgraded to a suite on 1st floor - Room 106
Room was very big, fridge but empty, No kettle for tea.
Picked this hotel mainly because of internet wifi access.
On arrival there, I was told it was not free, had to pay $22 a day which I was disgusted about but had to do.
Breakfast was nothing to write home about - Just Okay.
No Airport Pickup, took a taxi 30AED each way - $8.00.
Hotel was less than 10mins to Hotel. Please take Airport metered coloured taxi, they are much cheaper
Hotel had 3 night clubs on 10th floor, this did not bother me as my room was on 1st floor and I did not hear the noise.
Please ask for a 1st or 2nd floor room if you have to stay here.
The location is great, close to souk and you have the abra boat crossing to Bur Dubai right outside the hotel.
Staff's were friendly, always willing to help, I can't fault them at all.
In general, hotel was very okay for my need. Like I said, it's a 3 star hotel and yes, if I have to, I will stay there again.
I loved the big size of the room. For me, it was a plus.

We have just returned from a 6 night stay at the St George and would like to agree with the review of Timothy and Brenda from Manchester. We found the hotel staff extremely helpful and friendly, the room was clean and spacious and we were upgraded to a suite at no extra cost as we arrived at 11am in the morning but they didnt have a room ready,as check in time was 12noon. The suite was on the 2nd floor and they did give us the choice of being on the 6th floor,but did warn us about the nightclub on the 10th floor. We were told that the 2nd floor was no smoking,and it was clean and fresh,no smell of smoke as some other reviews would suggest,and we were not disturbed by the noise from the nightclub. The room was serviced everyday with clean fresh towels,what more could we ask for ?88 per night? We visited Dubai last year and stayed at the Dubai Palm Hotel in Deira,definately not recommended. We noticed the St George on our many visits to the Creek and decided to book for this year. Admittedly,we did book then look at the reviews afterwards,if we had taken notice of the reviews we wouldnt have stayed there,but for the price and location,it was definately the right choice for us. Yes,the bar and nightclub is frequented by prostitutes,but we found it quite amusing,but they didnt bother us at all. We are told that this is the norm in most hotels in Dubai,just a higher class in the 5 star hotels!! A visit to the restaurants at the Radisson hotel,a 20 minute walk away down the Creek, are a must,especially the Fish Market,fresh fish restaurant,and theres also a British Pub down there if you fancy a pint,but these are a bit pricey,but you do pay for quality. We had an evening at the races,which was fantastic,many visits to the Souks,walking distance from us,a tour of the whole area on the Big Red Bus Tour,and finished the week off with a dinner evening dhow cruise on the Creek. The Jumeirah beach park is 25drs in a taxi but much nicer is the Al Mamzar beach park,also 25drs by taxi (the hotel taxi will charge you 40,so catch your own taxi from the road). All in all,thoroughly enjoyable and would definately stay there again!!

I booked this hotel with booking.com from the 12th feb to 26th feb.When I arrived the room wasnt ready and I had to wait ,then I was going to be placed on the 8th floor .so I said I had asked for a room away from the disco on the 10th floor, When I said that I wanted to see the room before checking in I was immediately upgraded to the first floor .and found the room quite large .At 6pm I went to the TIVOLI RESTAURANT/BAR and was choosing from the menu when a girl came over and shook hands with me and asked where I was from .within a few minutes I was asked if we could go to my room for sex. I told her to go away, before I had finished my meal there must have been 20/30 of these scantilly clad girls arrived. The 2nd night I was there there was a tap on my door and when I peeped through the spy hole it was one of these women so I shouted go away .it happened again another night so I complained to the under manager called Joe and he told me they were russsian girls and they were a problem but were not allowed upstairs,but if you sit in reception you can see these girls sweep past the security guards and either get into the lifts or walk up the back stairs to the first floor and get the lifts from there,some of them stay over night and you see them leaving the next morning, The bar is open to 3am every night and when they leave there is a hell of a noise with there pimps picking them up tooting there horns .huge motor bikes revving up ,believe me this hotel is hell on earth.and god help the guests that are on the upper floors as the music is deafening and goes on every night until 3am . I could go on and on and kept a daily diary of different happenings at this hotel ,THIS IS NOTHING BUT A 4 STAR BROTHEL AND NOT 4STAR HOTEL and to take money from guests that stay there is disgusting and should be stopped. Also the hotel is in with these girls as every few days the girls take some paper to reception to have them renewed. THIS HOTEL/BROTHEL RUINED MY FIRST VISIT TO DUBAI

This hotel is advertised as a 3 star hotel, but its more like a 1 Star. It is in a central location if you like exploring the Souk. I stayed here on business for three nights, only because it was a last minute booking and I could not find another hotel in Dubai with availability.
The hotel is dirty, smelly and shabby and in desperate need of refurbishment. And yes, lots of prostitutes frequenting the lobby cafe/bar. It is probably ok for Stag parties, but i would not recommend it for anything else. I did not feel safe in the area as a young woman and stayed in my room each evening. Room service food was awful, but as you are not allowed to bring food and drinks into your room I had no choice but to use room service. For business travellers, there is a business centre at lobby level with internet access and a printer. Would not stay here again.

I don't want to repeat everything everyone else stated, such as the hotel was dirty, noisy, and had very poor service. A one star hotel. I have other complaints, but I just want to assure readers that the other comments here are accurate. Don't stay here if you can avoid it. This is the worst "hotel" I have ever stayed in, and I just wish I had read these comments before staying there.
