The hotel is quite nice inside and staff is friendly and helpful. They even extended my check-out time one hour as I had to catch a late flight at night once I left and helped keeping my suitcase after checkout.
On the negative side: 1) the area is nothing special, and I got to pay a rate that was relatively high (for the same money, I got a hotel close to Dubai Marina just on the few days before my stay in Bur Dubai); 2) the room was facing on a construction site just next to the hotel, so the view was absolutely horrible; 3) even though the hotel is on a very quiet street, there is noise coming from the temple for the prayers at 5:30 am; 4) rooms on the first floor are so close to the lobby and to the restaurant that at night you can hear all the conversations in the lobby, in addition than the noise from the restaurant in the very early morning when they are setting things up for breakfast; 5) the drain of the shower of my room was quite slow, so if I showered for more than 4-5 minutes I ended up flooding the entire bathroom.
Despite the few issues, it was overall good.
