Facilities: Old, small, and rundown.
Cleanliness: Absolutely no cleaning service provided.
Service: Non-existent; they even charged extra for water.
The room rate is completely disproportionate to the actual experience, offering terrible value for money. Nearby hotels at the same price point are significantly better. I strongly advise against staying here.

Starting past 11 PM, the noise from a KTV or some kind of club on the ground floor was so loud that I couldn't sleep. This typically went on until around 4 AM.

The older lady at reception is rude. My towel was taken and not replaced. The toilet does not flush properly. There is a cooling system, no AC in the room, takes a long time to cool the room down. The room had a bug in it. No good lighting in the bedroom. Light broken in the bathroom.I only stayed a few days, if my stay was longer, i would have cancelled my hotel booking and gone elsewhere.
The location, its between 2 metro stations, union and al-rigga.
I would not stay here again

Close to metro, which was my main objective. Just stayed one night solo Traveler. Rooms were not clean, low lighting, and zero soundproofing. Could hear everything from the room next door and outside. Would not book again.

I believe when the hotel was first built it should be good.
However, they didn’t managed very well over the years. My first room with a strong odor and old carpet. More sadly they gave me two single beds both of the mattress had a problem from the button area. You will suck in.
They helped me to change to next door. Then the nightmare happened. Before midnight someone knocked my door twice. Then 0:30 and 2:30am again. I am very sure the hotel allow someone who were doing s** service come in and go. I didn’t expect those people would so persistent to knocked my door 4 times and even in the early morning!
What a shame! This is what they post on the outside of their building.
Maybe I chose the wrong location. But don’t chose this hotel.

Very strategic location close to the night market, the room condition is quite clean and comfortable but a little noisy because it is outside the night market

The pool was shut. The Sun and Sands Downtown Hotel in Dubai has received mixed reviews from guests. Here are some key points based on recent feedback:
Positives:
Location: The hotel is conveniently located in the Deira area, close to the Al Ghurair Centre and within a short drive to the Gold Souk and Dubai World Trade Centre (***********).
Amenities: The hotel offers a variety of amenities, including a rooftop swimming pool, free Wi-Fi, and a restaurant serving international cuisine (***********) (Agoda).
Price: It is relatively affordable compared to other hotels in the area, making it a budget-friendly option for travelers (Agoda).
Negatives:
Cleanliness and Maintenance: Many guests have reported issues with cleanliness and maintenance, such as dirty rooms, malfunctioning facilities, and general wear and tear (***********) (Agoda).
Service Quality: The service has been described as disappointing, with reports of unresponsive and unhelpful staff. Several reviews mentioned long check-in times and poor housekeeping services (***********) (Agoda).
Comfort: Rooms have been criticized for being uncomfortable, with outdated furnishings and insufficient lighting. Some guests also noted issues with noise and lack of comfort in the beds (***********) (Agoda).
Overall, while the Sun and Sands Downtown Hotel offers a good location and affordable rates, the issues with cleanliness, maintenance, and service quality may detract from the overall experience. It might be suitable for budget-conscious travelers who prioritize location over luxury.
