The Good Stuff
Central location

Helpful staff
Several guests found the housekeeping and service teams attentive, welcoming and accommodating during their stays.

Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm payment. If booking through an agent or online platform, confirm payment with the hotel and keep your voucher to avoid duplicate-payment disputes.
Avoid driving. Travelling by metro is easier than bringing a car: the hotel has no private parking and public spaces can take a long time to find.
Check room. Inspect the room, bathroom and air-conditioning on arrival before settling in, especially if you prepaid.
Ask breakfast. Confirm breakfast serving times before relying on an included meal; one guest said the kitchen had closed.
Expect noise. Light sleepers should be prepared for a busy area, loud air-conditioning and early-morning mosque calls.
Check pool. Ask whether the pool is open before booking around it, as one review says it was closed.

The Bottom Line
Landmark Hotel, Baniyas is mainly a location play. In Naif, it sits beside the metro and close to shops, markets and restaurants, so it suits travellers who plan to get around Old Dubai without a car. Reviews also mention a pool, a breakfast buffet and a small hall used for functions.
The lunch buffet was reported at AED 20, with one meat item and mostly vegetarian dishes. The trade-off is uneven upkeep. Recent reviews describe musty smells, old furniture, dirty bathrooms, blocked sinks, insects and air-conditioning that was either ineffective or too loud.
A few guests found their rooms clean and comfortable, but the contrast is substantial enough that checking the room before unpacking is sensible. Breakfast feedback is also mixed, ranging from “great” to limited or below normal. Parking is the clearest logistical problem: there is no private hotel parking, and one guest waited 90 minutes for a public space.
Reception service is similarly inconsistent, with reports of rude interactions, unanswered arrival messages and a six-hour payment dispute. Confirm your booking and payment in writing, then ask about the room, breakfast and pool before committing. The metro makes this easier to manage, but light sleepers should expect a busy, noisy neighbourhood.
