It was close to restaurants and stores. The wasroom was tiny. The toilet was in front of the sink and i could not even stand infront of sink. The shower was tiny with a handheld shower with poor water pressure. The room stunk of smoke or stale sheets. There was no lock from inside. Tow3ls were so thin and hard.

Poor customer service at Saffron Hotel
I am writing to rate Saffron Hotel 1 out of 10 because it's members of staff do not have customer service/care. For the fist two days, we begged them for toilet papers but we never provided, nobody cleaned our room up to the time we left, the room was dirty as if they didn't know that we are coming. It's only the restaurant which has members of staff with good customer service. But to say the truth, I can't recommend anyone to book for this Saffron Hotel am sorry.

You get what you pay for.
A cheap place to stay. If you're a clean freak stay away. Plenty of mould and groomed in the bathroom. WiFi was crap, telephone wasn't connected to wall duei to having no plug. But the a/c was ok, main thing required for Dubai.

Had no problems besides the fact that it was advertised as a free wi-fi. Had to pay D$20 which is less than a fiver. But connection was really bad and I couldn't use face time with my daughter back home.

Not friendly staff....i am an Arab but i can speak Hindi. The hindi speaking staff were speaking in hindi against me. They were mocking at me as i got difficult in parking in the small area of parking. Unprofessional staff, including the reception staff. One night stay is fine as i didnt hv option. But will not stay there again. Parking is chargeable 50 dhs per night which is a lot. No wifi available.

the saty was good, we just used the hotel to have a shower and sleep. However, there were leaks in the bathroom and there was no wifi in the lobby area as they they say in the hotel description. We asked for it and told us they don t want to give it for free. Actually, if you want wifi, you have to pay for it. Hence, in my opinion, they should change it in the description.

Very bad experience
Please do not go to this property. Hotel staff may come to your room any time during your stay without knocking, using the spare key. They do not even feel sorry for disturbing you while sleeping. Not only happened with me but also seen them doing this with other guests. All of sudden two persons came in for AC maintenance.

Decent for quick layover
I was there for only about 5 hours, just a layover between flights. The room is decent enough for a cheap place near the airport. They even did wake up calls. The guy at the check in wanted to hold on to my passport and give it to me when I leave. I told him to scan it instead. he did that and returned my passport. Thought that was slightly weird. Otherwise everything was good. Booked a careem ride to the airport using mozio, and it was $8 or so to get to the airport.

Reasonable for a budget hotel.
Hotel Saffron is a budget hotel so set your expectations accordingly and you won't be disappointed. It could definitely be cleaner, but the hotel was probably in decent shape for something in this price range. Don't expect much from breakfast, it can get boring after the first 2-3 days and the coffee is absolutely useless so do yourself a favour and pass. The proximity to the metro is a big fat winner!

Paying for what you get, under average but ok
Hotel room is fine, close to metro but 40 mins-1 hour from all standard holiday activity areas. Paying 30-50 Durham in taxis to get places. Breakfast offer terrible, got food poisoned one day from it.example of food: omelette, curry, toast, slice cheese. didnt clean room while we were there for 6 days. Try get you to go on their trips and don't seem to know much info when askin questions to get there yourselves. Overall it's ok if you want to stay somewhere cheap and happy to get metro to places

Overnight transit stay
I booked one night here on my way from New Zealand to Cape Town. The hotel offers an airport shuttle service, but actually the staff know nothing about it. Catch a red roof taxi - cheap and reliable. The room is very small, but ok for one night. Reception and restaurant staff mostly polite and helpful.

Decent budget hotel
Rooms were really small especially if you have lots of luggage. Best option for budget travelers and if you are interested in exploring the old dubai. Had lots of places to eat close by and was alai pretty close to the airport. Not recommended if you are someone who like to relax in the hotel. Expect delayed (close to an hour) check-in as we found out on arrival.

Poor hotel but fair, given the price
OK just about, given the price, but the bath had a hole/crack in it which appeared to have been covered by something 'sqishy'! Who knows if it leaked or not, but it was an uncomfortable feeling. otherwiae it was fine and the nearest Metro was about 300m away - very convenient! The hotel is Indian - very Indian.
