Hotel Saffron 2*+ Deira
Interested in any information about the hotel Saffron 2 *. Planned in Eureka or Ibis, but hotels in the stop. They advised Saffron, but there are no reviews on the Internet and now I'm worried that I booked a tour and don't know anything about the hotel, is there a transfer to the beach (which one) and to shopping centers, how is food, etc.? Maybe someone heard something about him. THANKS!!!

Good evening, My husband and I also chose this hotel and looked at a lot of information about it, and only on one site we read that there is a transfer to the beach, in others it is not indicated, but they write that the beach is nearby.

I rested in Safron from 02.11 to 09.11. This is the Deira area. There is a transfer to any beach, if everyone does not fit on the bus, but they are brought by jeeps, i.e. there are no problems with this. The rooms are small, I lived alone, after a couple of days I got used to it, the rooms have everything you need, they clean on request, they clean well, the rooms are new, except for the bathroom. I took only breakfast, and it’s good, because. they are rather weak, and those who took dinner complained. Breakfast is always the same: cereal, milk, bananas, cheese, butter, toast, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, jam, juice, tea, coffee. Dubai Mall is 30 minutes by metro and 15 minutes by taxi (about 35 Derhams). Near the hotel there is a metro station, Nasser Square with shops, a network of cafes Golden Fork, Day Today, not far (15 minutes walk) Deira Mall. This hotel is right next to Eureka. Taxi drivers do not know him, so we asked to be taken to Eureka.

iharch, the advice is this: at this price it is better to choose a hotel in the center, the Bur Dubai area. I personally went alone and the price for one was 631 without a visa, in the center it would be more, but together it’s better in the center))

Eva, Thank you for your feedback, we are flying on November 20 .. now at least there is some idea about the hotel. True, there are still many questions .. where and from whom it is better to take excursions .. can you advise .. who has normal prices?
аватар Eva2167
I bought a ticket to the Burj Khalifa from home in advance at the in-that ticket, it’s better to take the time of sunset, the picture comes out more interesting. At the beginning of November it was 17.00 now earlier. I got on the subway and came myself, that is, I paid only for the ticket itself, you will see the sail perfectly from the Jumeirah Open Beach beach, it is closest to the sail and is free, you can go to the Dubai Mall by metro, there are also singing fountains, an aquarium, a waterfall. Wild Wadi Water Park - by taxi, you pay only the fare and the entrance ticket. Excursion on safari - 0551656233 - should be cheaper than from the operator. It is better to unite with someone in a hotel and pay for a jeep for 4 people. We went to Abu Dhabi on our own - we rented a car, 30 dollars. per day + gasoline in addition: Ferrari Park (pay for the entrance ticket), the mosque - admission is free, take a ride along the embankment. I got a lot of impressions from the Global Village - from Deira by taxi 55 derhams. This is a huge park-shopping pavilion with entertainment, shops from around the world (African and Qatari most liked), snack bars, a Ferris wheel. The entrance seems to be 10 derhams. Were in nightclubs, if you're interested I'll tell you more. Taxi to Marina.

Hello, please tell me if there are towels in the room? And I did not find a single photo of the bathroom, how small is it?
аватар iharchk
Eva, Thank you for your answer and useful information. I would also like to ask for the guide, Abdullah, I read a lot of good reviews about his services and excursions. and negative too .. maybe you also turned to him .. but I understood you tried to watch everything yourself. And do not tell me whether they give water to the room for free ... tea, .. coffee. sugar . Are there ironing facilities in the room or do you have to ask for them at the reception .. is the beach normal, which is taken from the hotel and what is the name.

I wonder how many Russians are in the hotel...

Is there wifi in the hotel
аватар zubrilina
Wi-Fi paid in the hotel
аватар Eva2167
At the time of our holiday there were few guests, up to 50 people, of which 80% were Slavs. Wifi is paid, 20 dirhams per day. But it is possible for one person to find out the access password at the reception, and all the rest will use this password, when checking out, pay for one who recognized the password. Number of days to say by eye, they do not check. We paid 40 dirhams, although we used 3 rooms from different receptionists every day)
аватар Eva2167
1. There are towels - 3 pcs.
2. Water 0.5 l per person, tea, coffee, cream, thermos, kettle, refrigerator, sugar
3. Cleaning is done if you leave the key at the reception and ask to be cleaned. During cleaning, towels are changed, water, sugar, coffee, etc. are delivered.
4. I asked for an iron on the phone from the room, they brought it along with the board in 5-10 minutes.
5. Mostly they take us to Jumeirah Park Beach (paid), but we asked once we were taken to Jumeirah Open Beach (free and there are many free places) and Al Mamzar Beach Park (paid) - we also liked it. If we took the wrong beach, we wanted to, then we drove further from it by taxi.)
6. We never saw the guide. Appoint a meeting time in the afternoon, it's a pity to spend this time in a hotel.

What is in the bathroom at Saffron 2*+ hotel?
Shampoo, gel, soap, s / paste, br / machine? Or just toilet paper.
Are beach towels provided?
Are there any shops, malls within walking distance from the Safron Hotel?
At the airport, you need to declare your camera (the size is like a SLR) and gold jewelry?
аватар ya_eto
In principle, everything is fine. Without special positive and negative emotions. The room is not big, but clean and comfortable. The bathroom is really small. Very kind staff. The location is ok. The food is just terrible. We still had the sense to take breakfast and dinner meals. It was something... Only advice: DO NOT EAT AT THIS HOTEL. For these 80 dollars. You could eat normally in any cafe.
аватар Eva2167
Nadin65, You do not need to declare jewelry and a camera at the airport. At 15 walking distance there is Deira Mall, a souvenir shop near the metro (5 minutes), Nasser Square.
аватар nadin65
Thanks for answers.
We have already booked HB (I just don’t know if you can change lunch with dinner?), We are waiting for visas.
For the first time in the UAE, we are worried, we don’t know English, only a couple of words, since I learned German.
аватар Eva2167
And in vain you took with two meals a day. The food in this hotel is bad. But nothing, I'm sure the rest will not spoil it. There is a Golden Fork on Nasser Square, plus in each mall there are a lot of fast foods for every taste. I bought food in a supermarket in Dubai Mall or Mall of Emirates, I did not find others. Feedback from you upon arrival)
аватар nadin65
We have already returned home, and as promised, I wrote a review!
Easily coped without deep knowledge of English

Please tell me how much money should I take with me for two? for food? excursions and souvenirs, I do not take into account - I want to understand how much food will be. got a ticket for breakfast.
also interested in currency? dollars? where to change? thanks in advance for the answer:)
аватар nadin65
We had breakfast and lunch. Lunch is very limited in choice but we had it. For dinner, we spent only $55 for two. So little cost because we bought groceries in stores and ate in the room.
How much you can spend depends on your appetite and desire where exactly you will eat, in the room or in cafes.
аватар nadin65
In supkrmarkets they paid in dollars, and change was given to us at will, even in dirhams, even in dollars.
The check clearly indicates the amount in which currency you give and how much change. The rate was even more profitable than exchanging at the bank $ 1 = 3.67 for a check and at the bank 3.66

Nadin54, I received your letter - there is simply no limit to gratitude! Everything was painted in such a way that there is nothing more to clarify :) I think now I have only one question left in my head: I wouldn’t buy another swimsuit)) now we have some problems with visas, but God forbid everything will be ok and then upon arrival I will also unsubscribe;)
аватар nadin65
when traveling by metro to Dubai Mall, leaving the metro using the same card, you need to drive to the Mall itself for free on bus number 13, and also back to the metro. Not only did we not remember the entry point to the Mall (then we spent 45 minutes looking for the exact exit to the metro), but we also walked a lot))))
Indeed, if only someone warned that when entering the Dubai Mall, you should immediately look at the manitor-informer where you are, and then follow the prompts of the informer throughout the Dubai Mall.
According to the Mall, we did just that - but initially we made a mistake without looking at the scoreboard where we entered the mall itself.

HEY ! A TELL ME HOW MUCH IS THE ENTRANCE TICKET TO FERARIE WORLD (ABU DHABI) OR WHERE IT IS POSSIBLE TO TAKE THE EXCURSION THERE BUT SO WHAT WOULD NOT FROM THE TOUR OPERATOR?
аватар Eva2167
You can go to Abu Dhabi on your own by bus or taxi (I won’t tell you the price, because I don’t remember exactly, but I don’t want to cheat), and take an excursion on the spot in the park.
аватар zubrilina
A bus in Abu Dhabi costs 25 Derhan. Departs from the bus station number E 100 and upon arrival in Abu_DAbi you need to cross the road and from there there is a bus to the ferari, we arrived for 4 derhans. And the entrance to the park costs $65.

I was in Safron in March, everything is fine, everyone was happy with the food, they were indifferent, so everything was fine, if I go again, it’s only in Safron that everything is close and nearby and they take to the beach at any desired
аватар iharchk
Anyone who will go to Dubai. We rested there at the end of November, EVERYTHING WAS JUST SUPER !!!. We went on various excursions and we highly recommend the Arabian Knights tour agency to everyone, you can call 0551904665 -Lyuba, and book excursions, everything is in Russian and she tells very interesting and exciting, their buses are comfortable ..especially convenient for those traveling to the DEIR area.
