              Great for this price”

              I booked a single room in Africana hotel for under $25, and didn't expect much for this price in Dubai, especially during Expo'2020. The hotel, however, was quite nice (certainly not just a guesthouse), and I was lucky to get a triple room instead, which was big and very clean. The metro station (Baniyas Square) is ~7 minutes walk away - download some offline map in advance, as it's easy to get lost in the streets of Deira. The area around is mainly Indian - so many Pakistani/Indian restaurants (try ones in the streets, as those near Baniyas Square are too pushy and probably not the best value) around, that it's actually harder to find a shawarma/falafel! A bit chaotic atmosphere around, but very safe as elsewhere in Dubai. It's also easy to reach the motorized dhows at Dubai Creek, to cross to the historical Bur Dubai area in an interesting way and for just 2 dirham. If I knew this hotel would be of so good value, I'd probably stopover in Dubai for 2 nights instead of 1!
