Rested on NG 2011. Hotel in the center of Deira. Budget hotel ***, no more, no matter how Natalie Tours gives it ****.
MINUSES:
1) The number of floors in hotels is as follows: zero, mezzanine, first, second....So: do not take rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors, since 2 or 3 nightclubs (Indian and Arabic) work on the mezzanine every night. In the bars, there is a frank, usual open, arrogant pickup of some half-dead girls. There are constantly working Armenian prostitutes walking around the hotel from the mezzanine to the penthouse back and forth from nine in the evening until the morning. Soundproofing in the department is zero, you can hear everything that happens in the hallway or in the next room, especially if you have an adjacent door with them. The beds were not soft enough for us, it was uncomfortable to sleep. Negotiate king size separately.

2) The hotel was full, the eyes of the employees were all the time round, apparently, for the first time such an influx of customers. The breakfast restaurant is not designed for a large flow, sometimes there were not enough tables for food. You constantly need to ask for forks, spoons, glasses - something that the waiters did not have time to lay out on the table. Order tea separately, which is also inconvenient. Breakfasts are so-so. Not cool, but there are plenty to choose from.
3) The bus to the beach is poor, someone had to sit in the aisle on folding chairs. You have to literally win seats on the bus, as there is not enough for everyone. Unpleasant. The hotel refused to provide another bus.
4) The guide attached to the hotel from Natalie Tours (or rather, from Alfa Tours) is vile Vadim. Arrogant, slippery, unpleasant type. Do not buy tours from him - they are 10-50 dollars more expensive than other agencies. Other agencies will find you anyway.
PROS: cheap (especially if you do not take through agencies), clean well.
If you need a hotel in this area and at the same price - choose ORCHID.
