Hotel: for such a price - a find. Rooms are large, clean, cozy, equipped with everything necessary for living (stove, dishes, washing machine, refrigerator, two TVs, seating area).
Room cleaning is daily, decent. Garbage is taken out only when it is in the trash, dishes are washed - only it is in the sink. Of the minuses - water was brought only the first two days, bathroom accessories - four days.
The staff is friendly. As for Tatiana, there is a good saying - smile at the beginning - and in return a smile will return to you. Any questions the girl solves in a few minutes (hair dryer, adapter, tours, taxis, questions like how to get there, where to buy, where to go).
Location - ten points.
Breakfasts - JUST HORROR! Edible - only croissants, spread and jam. You can only drink tea and coffee. Therefore, the hotel's rating is only 8. In other schedules, you could put all 10.

Friends, I do not understand why no one has written (or I have not read), but if one of you is going to the fish market for shopping - then entering the subway after the market (if you are shopping) - is impossible! ! ! ! ! Back only by taxi (to this hotel 150-200 dirhams). Or walk to the next station and quietly wrap the fish or shrimp in opaque balls (the main thing that there was no smell) you can get on the subway.
The subway is a separate story. Everything is very clean, neat, fashionable. Elevators, toilets, exchangers at each station. Who chose to help move around the city this type of transport (which we did) - get ready to wind miles on foot. Especially the Dubai Mall station (it has such attractions as Burj Khalifa, Singing Fountains, Dubai Mall, the world's largest aquarium) is something. Sawing in one direction with high speed legs takes 20-25 minutes (from the train to the entrance to the subway).
They have separate cars only for women, only for people with suitcases. By the way - the subway in Dubai - the longest subway in the world.

Beaches. I liked the beach to which they take me from the hotel. But we visited there only once (always not the right time). Basically we went to the free beach of Dubai Marina (by taxi 15-20 dirhams one way).
The country is beautiful. Energy in the air is very positive. People (even ordinary subway workers) are cheerful, friendly, positive and happy. You can talk about the country for hours (which I did when I returned to Ukraine). After such a country, ours seems gray, gloomy, and impoverished. But as they say parents and homeland - you do not choose.

I will definitely return to this fabulous country!
