If you are budget conscious and really want to "get amongst it" in downtown Dubai then Queens Hotel is a good place to stay. Situated in the Deira district it is just a couple of minutes walk from many of 'old Dubai's' major attractions, including the gold and spice souks.

Queens is one of the few moderately priced accommodation options available this audaciously cashed up city. Single or twin rooms are offered for around $90 or $150 per night, respectively. Rooms are clean and comfortable, albeit a little small. Each has a private bathroom, air-conditioning, phone, and daily housekeeping service.

A two star establishment, it includes the basic provisions associated with this rating. Some of these are: a tour desk, safety deposit box, wake-up call, swimming pool, 24 hour check in, snooker table, laundry, dry cleaning, a restaurant, and room service. The food is mediocre, overpriced and by the time it eventually arrives at your door may well be cold into the bargain! There are plenty of much better dining options within easy walking distance.

Queens is not the hotel for visitors seeking a luxurious accommodation experience. It is a decent place to sleep for those who would rather spend their dollars on shopping, shopping, and more shopping in the city's bazaars and glitzy modern malls! It is also a good choice for people interested basing themselves in Dubai’s atmospheric historic heart, where touts crowd the pavement selling "genuine fakes" and the scent of frankincense drifts heavily on the sultry evening air.

Queens Hotel does not have its own website but reservations can be made through many online booking providers.
