On price with reasonable quality of cleanliness and comfort IBIS World Trade Center probably your best bet as long as you don’t mind the lack of hotel facilities. If you want all the hotel facilities such as spa, swimming pool, restaurants, gym, etc then your best choice has to be Crowne Plaza Dubai Festival City. But you do pay more. If you want a compromise of low cost with some facilities then I suggest the Ramada Dubai is the right choice for you. For something a bit different that might be ideal for a family, with a large living space and some facilities then it has to be the Winchester Hotel Apartments which allows you to do self catering.
