The Good Stuff

Pool setting
A review mentions using the swimming pool for a small occasion, with two staff members helping there.
Terrace views

Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm opening. Confirm the hotel is operating and your booking is active before travelling; one guest arrived to find it closed.
Inspect room. Check the room, bedding and bathroom immediately for cleanliness or pests, then report any problem before settling in.
Verify inclusions. Before confirming, verify the room type and included facilities against the booking; guests reported receiving something different from what was promised.
Ask discount. Ask whether a discount is available before confirming, as one family-suite guest specifically recommended doing so.
Check payment. Confirm accepted payment methods and the night-time rate in advance; one group reported being pushed toward cash.
Check facilities. Ask whether the pool and bar are open during your dates, since one guest found both closed for maintenance.

The Bottom Line
Jonrad Hotel is a budget-oriented stay in Al Rigga that has appealed to guests mainly for its location. Reviews mention Union Metro Station and nearby bus stops, Al Ghurair City, the Rigga Night Market and plenty of restaurants within walking distance. One guest also enjoyed the terrace view toward the Golden Frame, while another used the swimming pool for a small occasion.
The experience is inconsistent. Some recent visitors describe comfortable rooms and staff who were friendly, professional and helpful. Older reviews mention a nice breakfast, Filipino food and a rooftop pool in the hotel’s description, but facilities were not always operating: one guest found the pool and bar closed for maintenance.
Room quality also varies sharply, with reports of clean, comfortable stays alongside dirty linens, bad smells, cockroaches, bed bugs and non-working TVs, kettles, air conditioning or landlines. The biggest practical caution is availability. A December 2025 reviewer said the hotel had shut down in November and failed to notify them before a charged booking.
Confirm that the hotel is open, your reservation is active, the room matches the listing and card payment is accepted before you travel. The location may be useful, but the recent closure report and repeated service complaints deserve serious checking.
