Dirty hotel / Worst Novotel

During our stay in Dubai, we stayed at three different hotels. Unfortunately, Novotel Al Barsha was by far the worst experience we had. In fact, I can confidently say it is the worst Novotel branch we've ever encountered. The housekeeping service at this hotel is simply catastrophic. For five out of the seven days we stayed, we repeatedly asked them to vacuum the floor carpet and properly clean the room, but our requests were ignored. We had to change rooms twice due to hygiene issues, and we were in one of their suite rooms, which is supposed to be their best offering. The room was dirty, with outdated furniture. We even found human bodily fluids (sperm) on the armchair and cockroaches in the bedroom. Additionally, the hotel is situated under highway bridges, making it extremely noisy both day and night. Even toilets in the main hall are dirty, the public toilets in the streets are much cleaner… I've posted a few photos here to illustrate the situation. I do not recommend this place to anyone, especially families with baby like us :(

L'hôtel était correct mais les chambres que nous avons eues étaient trop petites et les lits petits et un peu vieux. Le staff était correct et accueillant. La zone était prudente et on avait de la facilité à trouver un taxi/uber. Aux alentours il y a des restaurants, supermarchés et pharmacie. Overall je recommande l'hôtel mais prenez des chambres plus grandes.

Expedia showed me the room sleeps 4.....it doesn't. It had one double bed and one sofa bed which is just enough for 1 person, so 3 people can sleep, but not 4. Btw, the sofa bed was in a poor condition, not flat. We were stuck with this booking. Bad sleep quality affected our entire trip. I don't think I can trust expedia recommendations anymore and will book from other alternative platforms now.
