HOWARD JOHNSON BUR DUBAI, Dubai

The hotel sits in the heart of Bur Dubai, placing guests within easy reach of historic Souks, the Dubai Museum, and Meena Bazaar's shopping lanes. Public transport is convenient: Al Ghubaiba metro station on the Green Line is a 10-minute walk, and the Khalid Bin Waleed bus stop is just 50 metres away. Free private parking is available but requires a reservation and is limited. The surrounding area has local restaurants and shops, though the immediate street can be busy. For quieter access, consider using the metro or taxis rather than driving into the tight basement garage.

All rooms feature satellite TV, a mini fridge, tea/coffee maker, hairdryer, and a safety deposit box. Private bathrooms include a bathtub except in the wheelchair-accessible unit. Connecting rooms are available upon request. No balconies. Air conditioning is present but may cool only to around 22-23°C in some units. For a quieter stay, request a higher floor (4th or above) to minimise noise from the ground-floor nightclub. Both standard queen and deluxe queen rooms are offered, with suites providing additional living space. Daily housekeeping is standard, and extra bottled water can be purchased at the front desk.
