This is not your usual Dubia 4/5 star hotel but the equivalent of a 2 star B&B in the middle of Meena Bazaar. At over £60 per room per night this is not a 'cheap' hotel. Booked a balcony room but was given a room without a window on the first night but this was changed after I threatened to... More

Somehow it is a normal hotel. Not so much in distance from Bar-dubai bus stand or Gubahib metro station. Price is slightly high. Room service is as usual.Nothing special. When You really need room( specially at festival time - like EID) you can stay. Cleanness is okk. More

Stayed here for 2 nights for a stopover enroute to Australia. We just wanted a cheap option to experience the sights of Dubai without paying the extreme prices of hotels in the Jumeirah Beach area. The Dubai Nova Hotel was perfect for this, clean and comfortable and in a fantastic location just a few minutes walk from souks and the... More

I researched extensively for my middle eastern trip and found accomodation in Dubai to be quite pricey in general - there is no such thing as a cheap hotel or hostel in this city. Dubai Nova is one of the few relatively affordable and decent (no noisy/sleazy nightclubs) hotels in a well located part of Dubai - still on the... More

I stayed at the Nova Dubai in February 2009. I researched Trip Advisor first to get a feel for this hotel and can say that most of the reviews are correct. This is a clean, economical, well located hotel. A couple of blocks North and you are at the Dubai Creek area which has great restaurants on the river. Dubai... More

I stayed at the Dubai Nova in November 2008 for 2 nights. It is situated in a good location, right in the heart of the Bur Dubai district. The great thing about staying in this area is that you experience 'old school' Dubai...a far cry from the massive constructions taking place at the other end of town. The room was... More

We have recently returned from our first visit to Dubai, where we spend three nights at the Nova on the recommendation of Trip Advisor contributors. We were looking for something cheap and cheerful to use as a jump point to our onward journey to Europe. The hotel staff were very pleasant and all parts of the hotel were extremely clean.... More

Had never been in Dubai before and booked this hotel via internet. Turned out to be in the best of locations to explore Dubai city! It's just opposite Dubai Museum, a few minutes' walk from Dubai creek, the heritage area of Bastikayah and the souks. We got an enooooormous room. Clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. Quiet. Only downside was... More
