Folks, the first thing you need to understand is that this is NOT a TOURIST hotel, it's a business hotel (like most hotels in the Accor/Ibis chain), as you can easily see by looking at the other guests. Only Russians go to it on vacation. For this reason, the same thing for breakfast, a tiny room, lack of a refrigerator and knowledge of the Russian language by the receptionists. By the way, our confidence that everywhere in the world everyone should know Russian is amazing. Right on Zadornov.

We didn’t know this ourselves and “hit” (although we read about the refrigerator on the Internet; the first days were kept on the brought dry sausage : ), but we can’t say anything bad against the hotel itself - the elevators are super, everything is clean, the breakfasts are the same though , but quite high quality and you will not leave hungry. The staff is well trained, you just need to behave correctly.

Do not be afraid - the UAE is not Moscow or Muhosransk for you, but a country with English traditions (by the way, ask why you are always told "sir" or "madam" here, and the bus departs to the nearest minute). Your show-off will only cause bewilderment.

The adapter, by the way, was given at the reception without any problems. And you can also buy a card for a pay phone from them (calling around the city costs a penny, home, of course, is much more expensive).

Internet Wi-Fi in the hotel is unrealistically expensive with stupid billing and is designed more for Western businesses with laptops than for tourists.

You were right about the beach minibus. There on time - normul, back only a taxi.

"Swimwear and beach towels absolutely do not dry. " They dry - but only on a string in the shower compartment. Not completely, of course, but this is not a tourist hotel, sorry.

"All my clothes during the rest also stank of tobacco, because the hood is very bad.
"Ventilation is just fine, just no ventilation can cope with the stink of old tobacco. Take non-smoking rooms (non-smoker) and everything will be fine.

"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. " I should have told the reception about this. In our room, the pull-out clothesline broke - two words at the reception, and after 5 (! ) minutes the master arrived and fixed everything within 5 minutes and apologized for the trouble.

And when some gypsies were put in the next room, who hung around all night and knocked on doors, it was enough for me to tell the reception about it (in English, of course), and we instantly picked up the room we wanted.

"They don't provide bottled water in the rooms. " They shouldn't. I repeat for the third time - this is not a tourist hotel, and Dubai is not Turkey and not Egypt. Buy water at the supermarket or from the vending machine on each floor.
Or order at the restaurant : )
