“Nihal Hotel sits in Deira, a genuinely multicultural section of Dubai; the ethnic dining is a real draw, alongside the surprisingly large rooms. I noticed the on-site nightclub and spa add another layer to the experience, unusual for a 3-star property. For a short stay where location and room size matter, it's a solid choice.”
