The hotel was visited in January 2014. The location is quite good for business trips and shopping combined with morning trips to the beach. Two metro stations within 12-15 minutes walking distance. You can get to the main red line, ADBC station, formerly Karama, if you go left from the hotel. And you can go right and right again at the first turn and onto the green, Al Fahidi for a trip to the Deira area and Beniyas Square (former Nasser Square), where almost all fur shops and small shops for shopping are located. The area where the hotel is located is much better and cleaner than the same Deira, where most of the hotels where our tour operators take tourists are located. It is almost guaranteed that you will have a view from the windows either on the wall of the neighboring hotel or in the inner deaf square courtyard. Only the rooms on one side have a decent view of modern Dubai and skyscrapers on the skyline. The other side of the coin of this location is a rather busy highway right under the windows and a mosque with mullahs singing to the whole neighborhood at a time when ordinary tourists are sleeping.
Check-in was instant, get ready to pay a tourist tax of 10 dirhams per night per room right away. It is better to change some money right at the airport.
The first couple of days we lived in room 747 on the seventh floor overlooking the well of the courtyard. The singing of the mullah is almost inaudible there, but in our room there was a feeling that you were in a flying plane. Constant noise day and night. Very loud. We never understood what it was. Or a water compressor in the rooftop pool or something related to ventilation....After the second night we went to the reception, where without a word they changed the room to the one with a city view. They are probably well aware of the problem. The rooms are small but not tiny. Everything you need for a short visit is there. Tea set, water, safe, TV, refrigerator, etc. etc. Bed and pillow are comfortable. There are no balconies, the windows open with a slit. The air conditioner works well, there were no foreign smells. If you don't smoke, be sure to tell us when you check in. There are smoking rooms and vice versa. The rooms are not spotlessly clean, but if you do not climb with white gloves, like Revizorro, then everything looks very good. Cleaned up every day. And washed the floor and vacuumed too. There are no cleaning requirements. No living creatures were noticed, as well as strong extraneous odors.
Wi-Fi is available in the rooms, as is wired internet. If you pay extra, the speed will be high, but I didn’t understand why, if Skype worked fine and youtube videos went without brakes. Well, except that movies to download in BD quality.
Especially for children, except for a paid babysitter, there is nothing in the hotel.
When booking, we only took breakfast. They are quite decent. If you are not picky, then you can eat at least until dinner. Several hot dishes, standard cucumbers, tomatoes, eggs in all varieties, sausages, sausage, pastries, jams, honey, muesli, yogurt, milk, watermelon, melon and a lot of all sorts of little things. Not everything is edible, but you can choose something. Of the budget treks I've visited over the past five years, the breakfasts here were some of the best. Lunches and dinners according to the stories of other tourists with whom we talked are also very decent. Of course, you need to make allowances for the fact that this is an inexpensive, three-star city hotel for an overnight stay.
There is a rooftop pool. The water was clean and cold. Nobody went swimming. People just got burned. Still January. The pool itself is small and shallow. There are few loungers. The hotel has 800 rooms and I would not seriously count on the fact that you can have a good time here during the season. But a very decent gym was completely empty.
From the hotel to the beach there is a small bus four times there and back. Even out of season, it stuffed like a can of herring, and there were often people who could not fit into it. We did not risk it and went to the beach a couple of times by taxi. The asking price is 25 dirhams. If you cooperate with someone, it will come out at 100 rubles per person at the current rate.
You can drive for free to the Dubai Mall and back, as well as to a fairly decent Burjaman shopping center.
There is always a Lexus taxi outside the hotel. You will be constantly asked if you need a taxi when you leave the hotel. If you are ready to overpay three times, then you can use it. If you don't have money in your account or you need super-comfort, then you can use it. Never stood on the road longer than 2-3 minutes. There are a lot of taxis in Dubai.
The contingent in the hotel is the most diverse, but you will not meet Arabs there. Hindus, Pakistanis, Africans and many Russian-speaking tourists. But basically everything was quite decent, if you do not take into account breakfasts in panties and T-shirts of alcoholics, mini-skirts and bare navels on girls who do not have the intellect to realize what country they came to. It would be nice to have a hotel. They also traveled to the city.
I strongly recommend the hotel to unpretentious tourists for sightseeing and shopping tours, as well as for business trips. Quite comfortable accommodation for a comfortable price. The hotel is totally worth the money spent.
