Low cost
Several reviews describe it as a very cheap Dubai hotel, making price the clearest reason to consider it.

The Good Stuff
Market access
The hotel is reported to be very close to the market, useful for visitors who want nearby shopping.
Friendly staff
Some guests found the staff friendly and helpful, including a repeat visitor who valued the team’s welcome.
Clean rooms
A few reviews report clean rooms and good facilities, though this is inconsistent with other stays.
Room view
One guest specifically liked the view from the hotel.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm charges. Confirm the final total before arrival and at checkout; reviews report prices differing from bookings and bills.
Inspect first. Check the room and bathroom before settling in, especially for pests, stains, peeling plaster and exposed cables.
Request cleaning. Ask reception directly for room cleaning rather than assuming it is automatic; one guest had to request it downstairs.
Verify booking. If your reservation is important, reconfirm availability and the booked rate before travelling; one guest was left without a room.
Check air-conditioning. Test the air conditioning and charging access on arrival, since guests have reported both malfunctioning AC and too few sockets.

The Bottom Line
OYO 157 Al Khaima Hotel is a budget accommodation in Deira, with rooms, room service and a restaurant mentioned in the reviews. Its main practical appeal is price: one guest reported 160 AED for three people, while another called it one of the cheapest hotels they had stayed in Dubai. The hotel is also close to the market and next to Gold Sukh, which adds convenience for shopping-focused trips.
Service is uneven. Some guests describe friendly, helpful staff, good facilities and clean rooms, and a repeat visitor remembered the team warmly. Another guest liked the view.
Those positives sit alongside many serious warnings about hygiene: reports mention cockroaches, bed bugs, dirty sheets, stained beds, bad smells and bathrooms in poor condition. Room maintenance is another concern, with peeling plaster, exposed cables, water on the floor and unreliable or old air conditioning. Before booking, confirm the total price and availability directly.
Reviews describe charges higher than the advertised or booked amount, and one guest said a reserved room was given away. Ask for cleaning explicitly, inspect the room on arrival and think carefully before choosing it for a family stay; the surrounding area and noise also drew criticism.
