The Good Stuff
Food variety
Guests mention African continental food, especially East African dishes, as a strong reason to eat here.
Helpful staff
Several reviews describe the staff as friendly, courteous and cooperative during stays and booking support.
Affordable stay
Reviews describe the hotel and rooms as affordable, neat and suitable for a basic low-budget stay.
Convenient location
The location is easy to navigate and close to Deira's markets and major shopping areas.
Clean rooms
One guest specifically reported clean rooms, while another found the room simply good.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check parking. Ask about parking before arrival; one dated review identifies it as the main problem.
Request quiet. If sleep matters, ask for a quieter room because one guest reported all-night noise from other guests.
Confirm freshness. When checking in, confirm the room is fresh-smelling, since this was specifically criticised.
Check buffet prices. Confirm current buffet prices before visiting: the quoted amounts come from a January 2022 review.
Allow time. Build in extra time for requests or service, as one review described the service as too slow.

The Bottom Line
Royal Prince Hotel is a straightforward, low-budget hotel in Naif. You can book a simple room, use the advertised breakfast and Wi‑Fi, or eat at the buffet restaurant. The biggest draw in the reviews is the African buffet, with guests highlighting East African and continental food, good variety and filling portions.
The food is also the clearest value story. A January 2022 review quoted an all-you-can-eat breakfast at 10 AED and lunch or dinner at 25 AED, while another put an average satisfying meal at 30 Dhs. Those are customer-reported historical prices, so check them before ordering.
For location, reviewers found the hotel easy to navigate and close to Deira markets and major shopping areas. That makes it useful for a short, practical stay or a quick meal, though the surroundings were described negatively by one guest. Rooms are generally described as basic, affordable and sometimes clean rather than polished.
There are a few things to clarify before arrival. Parking has been a problem, service was called slow, and one guest complained about room freshness and difficulty getting help. Night-time noise from other guests also affected sleep, so request a quieter room if that matters to you.
