Firstly, thanks to everyone who left reviews: it was only thanks to them that we chose the hotel for a week-long vacation in Dubai.
Secondly, I will not repeat myself about cleaning, rooms, interior noise, time to reach malls, etc. and prices are all right.
What I would like to add (and what I have not read before):
- once a day you can take at the reception the access code to the hotel network for half an hour, we were 2 in the room and each was given, so we were provided with an hour of evening skype))
- they asked for a board and an iron on the second day and left them for us for the whole week
- do not take anything in the refrigerator in the hotel room, everything is cheaper in the supermarket nearby
- service at the Hin A fish restaurant. . . (big blue letters) next to the subway exit near the hotel - very poor service + they do not accept cards there, although there were no problems anywhere

- did not get through on the phone. provided here in Arabian Knight, and on the beaches I didn’t distribute agency advertising anywhere, and the prices at the guide and at the hotel seemed too big, as a result we took a tour to the safari and Abu Dhabi to the Emirate Mall - "fan tour", safari $ 55, Abu- dabi-85 (not on buses but on the same jeeps with a safari for 6 passengers)
- dinners in restaurants are expensive, cost from 150-300d per person
- to go to the beach under sail, through the Jumeirah I wanted to be free for mere mortals to pass only in the evening, during the day - attention! - 150d per person )))
- transfer from the hotel is carried out to public (on women's days) and to Jumeirah. Public naked but has toilets, jumeirah is better
- Were also at Dubai Marina and Mamzar Park - we liked it!
- yes, as for metro tickets - take a daily pass - 16d (then replenishment 14 and 12d) from people to any station during the day + as it turned out, general buses also on the same tickets without problems. You can't get on the bus without a ticket from the metro!
- upon arrival, immediately go to the think mall for tickets to the Burj Khalifa, otherwise you might not get in (we couldn’t order online)
- very fond of oak marina (we went both in the evening and during the day not the beach), in Dubai Medinat (Venice), Maserate Park
- and as for souvenirs, we thought we would be stingy in the dutik... yeah, right now the prices there are flying away, or the same as in stores or more. We found a cool store at the Al Fahidi station (green line) right next to the exit (one of) - an inexpensive souvenir (for example, an average plate in a hotel is 25d, there are 15), there is also an electronics store at this station, the cheapest laptops were met there by compared to other malls.
