“While centrally located in Deira, placing guests within reach of Dubai's cultural heart, this hotel presents a mixed experience. The Filipino staff's dedication is a highlight, though some rooms could benefit from updates.

I had high hopes for my stay at Grand Central Hotel, especially given its central location near the metro and good dining options. However, the experience was marred by loud music at night and less than welcoming staff. While my room was spacious and clean, the overall vibe of the hotel felt chaotic, with long waits for both check-in and breakfast. I left feeling more stressed than relaxed.
