Ibis Al Rigga hotel is conveniently located close to the Metro (about 5 min walk depending on your pace), has lots of restaurants nearby, a few small grocery stores, a couple bigger ones, and small stores where you can buy a late snack or dinner all within a stones throw. Due to the location in Al Rigga, there are lots of people outside of the hotel and in the surrounding area that is not as clean compared to other areas in Dubai like JBR, the mall or in Dubai mall or marina. Food is definitely cheaper too but if you prefer fancier restaurant, then you cant compare the two areas.
Now the downside, Ibis doesnt provide hand or face towels so I always asked for an extra bath towel. This is the only budget hotel I have stayed that didnt provide hand or face towels. They also didnt provide shampoo. The bed matress is old but they placed a new topper which made it comfortable to sleep on. You get a discount on the breakast buffet (40 AED instead of 50) if you pay at the counter. Service is great though checking in at the front counter can take a while depending on the issues of the person in front of you because there are only 2 people.
Would I stay again here, YES if I am on a budget because of the rate of the hotel and the proximity to restaurants and metro red line, NO if I am willing to spend twice as much or more and want to live in an upper scale neighborhood like JBR, Dubai Marina, or the financial district. However be prepared to spend more for food too.
