Tips for a Better Visit
Check facilities. Before settling in, confirm water pressure, utilities and AC; one review reported problems with all three.
Inspect rooms. Check the room's cleanliness and condition on arrival, since one guest reported insects and a stale, old room.
Confirm extensions. If you may stay longer, confirm extension rules in advance; one guest said they were removed after adding five days.
Use local links. The hotel may suit travellers who want nearby access to the abra, metro station and Asian shops.
Consider dinner. For a meal rather than a room, the restaurant's dinner received positive feedback for food and service.

The Bottom Line
Time Palace Hotel is a simple Bur Dubai stay with a casual restaurant and spa area described by the business. Reviews suggest its strongest practical draw is value: guests mention reasonable or affordable rates, decent rooms, and access to the abra, metro station and Asian shops. The restaurant is a separate reason to consider stopping by.
Several diners specifically mention dinner at Time Palace restaurant, describing the food as amazing, tasty or fresh and the service as good. That makes the dining room more clearly supported by the reviews than the spa, which customers do not discuss. Room feedback is mixed rather than consistently reassuring.
Some guests reported clean rooms and good customer service, while others described a stinky, old room with insects. Another review reports no water pressure, utility problems, unreliable air-conditioning, Wi-Fi issues and a lift that did not work. Check the room and key facilities on arrival, especially if you are booking a longer stay.
Service also varies: many reviews call staff friendly or cooperative, but one customer described a receptionist shouting on the phone and another said customer service needed improvement. The location and budget pricing may suit a practical short stay, but confirm current room conditions and facilities before settling in.
