    Loved the spacious and clean rooms with all the necessary amenities at affordable rates. Super friendly staff, especially Mohammed, Anoop, Janak, who made our stay extra special by their exceptional service. 🌟 Enjoyed the convenience of the close proximity to the metro and the ease of getting to Dubai's main attractions. Just a small snafu with the initial room presentation but was quickly rectified by the accommodating manager.

    Great variety in breakfast items daily at Golden Sands Hotel. Gym and facilities easily accessible. Staff, including Terrance, provided exceptional service.

    Limited English TV channels. Limited outlets in rooms.

    Their dedication to ensuring a comfortable stay and willingness to go above and beyond truly made a difference. One improvement could be addressing the issue of thin walls that sometimes led to disturbances from noisy guests in the corridors.

    i had a wonderful experience at Golden Sands, staying for about 4 weeks. the staff, especially Vineet and the reception team, was extremely helpful, making my stay smooth and enjoyable. the kitchen had everything i needed for cooking, and the supermarket nearby was convenient. on my birthday, they surprised me with a cake in my room, showing their thoughtful touch. it was definitely a value for money stay and i recommend it to everyone.

    No complaints 😊.

    The housekeeping team, especially Safeer, ensured our room was comfortable and clean every day. the supervisor Ankit also checked in regularly to make sure everything was perfect. the restaurant served delicious food, and the bill boy Abdullah was always helpful. the location, close to La Mer beach and various shopping malls, made it convenient to explore the city.

    One aspect that could be improved at this hotel is the way hot drinks are served during breakfast. Individual tables could be used instead of a shared thermos to enhance the dining experience for guests.

    During my recent transit through Dubai, I stayed at Golden Sands Hotel Apartments and found it incredibly convenient. Situated just 0.8 km from Al Fahidi and a short 10-minute drive from the Financial Centre, it offered easy access to key areas of the city, making my short stay stress-free and efficient.

    I did encounter a minor inconvenience during my stay. There was a leakage issue in the bathroom, and it was challenging to promptly reach maintenance for assistance.

    A sprawling city center base with endless possibilities for shopping and dining. I marveled at the international cuisine selection and swam in the rooftop pool. The New Year's Eve fireworks were a standout experience! The spacious two-bedroom apartment catered to my needs, and the location near consulates and banks made life a breeze. The street food nearby stole my heart – a taste of home in a bustling metropolis. Don't skip the afternoon tea – it's delightful! Cheers from a culture-seeking traveler.

    The convenient location of Golden Sands Hotel allowed me easy access to the Al Fahidi Historical Neighborhood, which I had been eager to explore. The variety of nearby restaurants and entertainment options added to the hotel's appeal, making my stay even more enjoyable.

    Minor room improvements needed.

    We loved the location of this hotel! It was in the heart of the city, close to metro stations, supermarkets, and even a mall. The hotel itself was just as luxurious as it looked in the photos. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and clean, with all the amenities we needed. The staff were friendly and quick to respond to our needs, and they even upgraded our room without us asking. We also appreciated the helpful recommendations for nearby eating spots. our stay at this hotel was great!

    We highly recommend this hotel to others.

    Impressed by the attentive staff service at Golden Sands 3. Niyash, Karim, and Thea went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. While some areas need improvement, the hospitality and location made our visit worthwhile. Would recommend for a budget-friendly option with great service.

    The hotel had free, secure parking onsite which was a great convenience. Additionally, the staff were very attentive and went above and beyond to accommodate us. They even prepared our room ahead of schedule, knowing we had arrived early. the location was also ideal, with three metro stations within close proximity, making it easy to explore the city. the staff's hospitality and the convenient parking were the best aspects of our stay.

    The room we stayed in was small and outdated. It looked much larger and more modern in the pictures, which was disappointing.

    I recently stayed at Golden Sands and had a fantastic experience. The staff, especially Dhiren, Karim, and Ramesh, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The facilities, including the gym, pool, sauna, and activities area. The breakfast staff were excellent, especially when it came to accommodating our two young children. The location was centrally located and the spacious two-bedroom apartment was exactly as depicted in the photos. I would happily recommend Golden Sands 10 anytime.

    Would be happy to recommend this hotel.

    Golden Sands provided a clean room with excellent amenities. the air conditioning was effective, beds comfortable, and daily breakfast offered plenty of choices. the private car parking was secure, and the supportive staff promptly resolved any issues. the presence of a washing machine in the room was very convenient.

    Limited sockets for charging devices. Water temperature excessively warm.

    The Golden Sands hotel Apartments in Dubai is an ideal haven for travellers. The spacious rooms offer a comfortable setup with a plush king-size bed and a small kitchenette, providing all the basic facilities. The strong air conditioning ensures a refreshing environment even amidst the Dubai heat, making for a comfortable stay.

    Despite the excellent facilities, there were some minor inconveniences with the dining area. It was crowded at times, and there was a shortage of crockery, leading to guests having to eat at the poolside.

    Dive into the delicious gourmet sandwiches that'll make your taste buds do the tango. The enormous apartments offer a comfy cocoon with all the fixings. Big up to Karim for the extra mile service and sweet metro connections.

    The staff played a sour note, but the knockout dining and spacious digs saved the day. The outdated AC units might need a desert breeze and a splash of TLC to match the luxe Dubai vibe.

    The sumptuous international cuisine at the restaurant was a delightful surprise. I felt like I was traveling the world with each dish. The flavors were so immersive that I almost forgot I was seated by the pool in Dubai.

    Reception service inconsistency.

    The apartment was so cozy with a super comfy king-sized bed and a separate living area. It felt like a home away from home, perfect for someone who values comfort and space.

    I found the fire exit plan posted on the back of the guest room door a bit too prominent, but I understand its importance.

    The room cleaning man, Ranjith, was exceptional. He maintained cleanliness and tidiness in our room throughout our stay. One drawback was the leaking Kitchen sink drain, which was attended to but not fully resolved. I would recommend this hotel for its excellent housekeeping service.

    Lucky my phone had a flashlight, the dimly lit hallway was a challenge. the staff had friendly smiles and the AC worked well in the sweltering heat. Plus, the neighborhood was lively with great places to eat nearby.

    My room looked nothing like the photos I saw online. the furniture was dated and the walls were dirty.

    I chose Golden Sands Hotel for its close proximity to the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood, a place I've always wanted to visit. Surprisingly, the hotel offers all services and facilities like a deluxe hotel, and I particularly enjoyed the variety of restaurants, fast food eateries, and entertainment venues nearby.

    Accessibility to nearest metro stations.

    I had a wonderful stay at Golden Sands Hotel. I stayed for thirteen days and the staff, especially Cathy and Anuja, were incredibly accommodating and kind. The breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of food and drinks available. Free parking was a bonus and the double-bedroom unit I stayed in was incredibly spacious. The housekeeping staff on the second floor was also very attentive, even anticipating my needs before I asked. The hotel's location is great, with a small market and pharmacy conveniently located across the street. it was a fantastic experience.

    I highly recommend this hotel.

    The hotel is conveniently located near the city center and close to the creek. guests can easily access the hotel's restaurant in GS3 and take advantage of free document printing in the business center. The room and bathroom were comfortable, with excellent housekeeping service and a friendly staff. Guests can also enjoy a tasty breakfast and quality facilities.

    The hotel's location could be better placed for those who prefer to be directly on the main road.

    The 3-bedroom apartment was spacious and comfortable, giving the kids plenty of room to play and unwind. With the well-equipped kitchen, we could prepare our own meals, making it feel like a home away from home.

    The staff at the hotel was absolutely amazing and made our stay memorable. They were friendly, positive, and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The cleanliness of the hotel, from the main hall to every room, was impressive. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped with everything we needed. The pool was clean and comfortable for both adults and children, and the beach transfer service was a convenient bonus. We have stayed here before and each time, we leave with nothing but the best impressions. From the smooth check-in process to the helpful concierge staff, the level of service was top-notch. The concierge staff, especially Abdallah and the elderly Indian gentleman, were incredibly helpful and willingly assisted with anything we needed. The studio apartment we stayed in was well-maintained and had all the necessary amenities. The daily cleaning service and complimentary water bottles were a nice touch. The breakfast options were extensive and delicious. The rooftop swimming pool provided a private and relaxing atmosphere. The hotel's location was convenient, with easy access to taxis and attractions like Dubai Mall. our experience at this hotel was mind-blowing, and we will definitely be returning.

    Ate different cuisine indoors or outdoors by the pool. Enjoyed tea, book, and internet. Watched NYE fireworks. Abundant fresh flavors. Families & biz travelers for 35 years. Fancy lounge w/ snacks. Spacious 2-bed apt w/ comfy bed.

    Who needs cutlery, napkins, plates, glasses or cups all at the same time anyway? Russian visitors, noisiness at night.
