The description of the hotel is already a lie "the famous Burj Al Arab and the Wild Wadi water park are located just 5 minutes from the hotel" - this is probably if you fly by helicopter, but by taxi, because. other transport does not go there, 10-12 minutes and 20-25 dirhams. (Course 1 $ -3.65 dirhams)
"In close proximity to the main attractions: the Mall of the Emirates and the Ski Dubai ski resort" - if on foot, then walk through the construction sites for 25-30 minutes at a fast pace.
I'll start with the pros, because. there is only ONE of them (pluses) !! ! - a new hotel: furniture and plumbing are in decent shape, and the rooms are cleaned decently. ALL! The pros are over and the cons have begun.
- The first minus and the most important is the location of the hotel. Construction site around. This is not Jumeirah. Where is Jumeirah, and where is Ibis Al Barsha... To the nearest metro station (Mall of the Emirates) or by taxi -10 dirhams, or on foot through construction sites. A hotel bus runs to the sea, the beach is paid, the time is inconvenient. In the morning picks up tourists at 9.30 and from the beach at 15.30. The hottest. (In other hotels, the bus goes 2 times to the beach - in the morning and in the afternoon). To the famous shopping area Nasser Square by taxi 50 dirhams. Metro 1 trip 6.5 dirhams.
- The second minus is that there are no balconies in the hotel rooms, and the windows are all boarded up tightly. Swimwear and beach towels absolutely do not dry. By the way, beach towels are not provided. So take them at home, or buy locally.
- Even if you are a smoker, take a non-smoking room anyway. I made a fool of myself and took a smoking room. Everything in the room stank of tobacco: carpet, curtains, tulle. All my clothes also stank of tobacco during the rest. extraction is very bad.
- No one speaks Russian at the reception, and generally a very boorish attitude
- The shower is very small, water splashes on the floor of the entire bathroom, then does not go down the drain, it stays all day until the next day when the cleaner comes. They give you only shower gel, no shampoo, no cotton buds. Only plastic cups.
- There are no refrigerators in the rooms. I had breakfast paid for, it’s good that I took only canned food and instant noodles from home, and those who took all sorts of sausages threw everything away. Eating in the city in a cafe is expensive for me. It may not be expensive for someone, but if you choose a hotel **, then I think it will be expensive for you too.
- Bottles of drinking water are not provided in the rooms. Arrived at night, there was nowhere even to drink water.
In general, summing up, I will write that I will not go to this hotel for the second time for anything. A lot of money was spent on the metro and taxis, given that we cooperated with other tourists, and 4-5 people sat in a taxi. Choose a hotel somewhere in the Deira area, at least save money on a taxi.
