Deira

Al Rigga Metro station is within a short walk, making transit around Deira and onward travel convenient.
Several guests found the staff cooperative, including one room change handled immediately after a bed-bug report.
The low room rates are a clear draw for travellers prioritising location over newer furnishings.
One guest reported receiving fresh sheets, towels and bottled water every day during the stay.
The hotel has a rooftop pool, although availability has been inconsistent in guest reports.
Request high floor. Ask for a higher-floor room to reduce nightclub noise; a fifth-floor guest found the music less intrusive.
Confirm fees. Before arrival, confirm taxes, exchange rates and any visitor or early check-in fees in writing.
Check belongings. Inspect the fridge and room before checkout; one guest returned later to find unopened drinks had been discarded.
Check pool status. Ask reception whether the pool is operating on your dates, since one guest said it was not open every day.
Plan parking. Do not assume parking is available; a guest specifically reported that there was no parking.
Consider trip length. For a short stay, the location and price may be easier to accept; longer stays expose more room and maintenance issues.
Plan the visit
The in-hotel club provides nightlife but is also the main source of repeated late-night noise complaints.
Breakfast is available for an additional charge; one guest reported a 25-dirham price per meal.
A small fitness centre is mentioned as an additional facility alongside the rooftop pool.
Multiple reviews report bed bugs, including guests who described bites, marks or an infection after their stay.
Bathrooms have been reported with mould, blocked drains, leaks, bad smells and toilets that would not flush.
The nightclub and bar can be loud late into the night; one guest said music from midnight to 4am shook the walls.
Guests describe the rooms as small, dark and dated, with broken furniture, stains and maintenance problems.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

The Bottom Line
Eureka Hotel is an older, budget-focused stay in Deira, with its strongest practical advantage being the location: Al Rigga Metro station is reported to be within 200 metres, and shops, pharmacies, supermarkets and inexpensive restaurants are nearby. That makes it useful as a base for transit travellers or a short Dubai stopover. The hotel has a rooftop pool, a small fitness centre and an in-house nightclub.
Breakfast was reported at 25 dirhams per meal, while some guests found the rooms clean enough, comfortable and supplied with fresh sheets, towels and water each day. Staff reviews are mixed, but several guests describe them as cooperative and helpful, including one prompt room move after a bed-bug complaint. The cautions are substantial.
Reviews repeatedly mention bed bugs, mould, dirty sheets, blocked or leaking bathrooms, old furniture and unreliable air-conditioning or hot water. Nightclub music and bar noise can continue until the early morning, so ask for a higher-floor room if you book. Pool access is not guaranteed daily, and parking was reported unavailable.
Before paying, confirm taxes, exchange rates, visitor charges and early check-in fees in writing. This is a low-cost, location-led choice rather than a dependable family or quiet-luxury hotel.
