This hotel was recommended to me and my wife by a travel agent with whom we had already traveled before and were satisfied.
We were offered a great flight time to Dubai so we didn't waste a single day.
Flight Economy class airlines Fly Dubai left only positive emotions.
Upon arrival in Dubai, we were met by representatives of Tour Operators and after 15-20 minutes we were at the hotel.
The hotel itself is a rectangular structure, 10 floors high. The windows are very small, there are no balconies. The location of the hotel is such that only from the facade of the building a normal view of the city opens. From all other windows view of other hotels. For some, this is a minus, but this is not critical, it is so hot on the street all day that the windows are closed with a thick curtain. Check in was quick - less than 30 minutes. The staff is mostly English-speaking, but there are also Russian speakers.

At the reception, you need to pay a tourist tax of 10 dirhams ($ 3) per day of stay for one room. Nobody asked for a deposit. They are not escorted to the room.
All rooms in the hotel are air-conditioned - very comfortable. Very clean and pleasant smells.
Toilet rooms on a solid 5.
There are 3 restaurants on the ground floor.
We were put in a room on the 7th floor, marked "non-smoking".
On the floor there is a vending machine with water and snacks.
The room is approximately 3*4 in size. Separate bathroom.
Mandatory air conditioning.
Very clean, pleasant smells.
The room is fully consistent with the photos on the hotel website.
Everything in the room appears to be almost new or carefully used.
There is a small fridge, kettle, iron on request.
Cleaning is daily (always left a tip for the staff) if you do not hang the "do not disturb" tag.
Slept great in the room.
Of the minuses, there is no place for drying clothes, and after 23 there was an invited buzz - this is either a club on the 1st floor or a construction site next door. But we quickly got used to it.
We bought a tour with breakfast and dinner and were not mistaken. The difference is about $ 100, but the dinner was very pleased. Meat, fish, poultry, several side dishes and soup. There are few visitors at this time.
Breakfast is always the same - eggs in all versions, cheese, sausage, vegetables, dessert, a lot of bakery products and, of course, several dishes of Indian cuisine (for an amateur).
Of the minuses in terms of nutrition, for dinner, drinks are only water, and 60% of the dishes are very peppery. In general, the locals are very perchy (((.
For lunch we went to nearby cafes, which are many near the hotel. The average check per person is $10-15.
The room has Wi-Fi, YouTube watched without problems.
On the roof of the hotel there is a swimming pool, sunbeds and umbrellas. Cosy. There is a gym, but it's mostly for cardio.
In terms of stars, I would rate the hotel at 4.
Daily transfer to the beach.
The nearest metro stations are 5-10 min. Very convenient transport interchange, nice, clean area, many supermarkets, quiet, feels safe, friendly.
My wife and I really enjoyed it there.
