Hello to all who are waiting for reviews of the Saffron Hotel in Deira.
We arrived today and while the memories are fresh I want to write a review. I will start in order and I hope that my review will help those who have already booked this hotel or are just thinking.
Location.
Conveniently located, not far from Al Rigga street, in the courtyards. Also very close to the metro with the same name Al Rigga. On our side, exit 1, eat exit 2. At the reception there is a metro map in Russian, it was very useful to us. There is a description of all the stations and on which Malls and attractions are located. There are only cafes and restaurants along this street, and just at the turn to our hotel there are two shops, one with souvenirs (then it was a guide for us, the whole side window is in teddy bears), and on the other side is the Pierre store cardin. We turn, we reach the intersection of 34th and 42nd streets, turn left and go straight along the course of our hotel.
Hotel.

We didn’t expect anything fancy from the 2 * hotel, we knew where we were going, but after reading reviews about cockroaches, I took a dichlorvos bolon with me. on a large balcony, completely empty and in order to dry towels after the beach, we put our suitcase there. There was also nowhere to dry the swimwear, but the need for trickery is cunning and we put the swimming trunks on the top of my swimsuit and fastened it to the railing. In the evening, don’t forget to bring everything home, but then you will go to wet-humidity In the bathroom there is 1 towel for the face and two for the body, there is no one for the legs. We threw the one on the floor for the face, wiped the face with one and the body with the other. If you want to be cleaned, leave the card at the reception and ask cleaning. There was a safe in the room, they kept their passports there, they carried money with them. Upon arrival there were 2 bottles of water, and after cleaning they left two. And in the store, water costs 3der. killed and pom The hovering was treated with dichlorvos. But it turned out to be not the most unpleasant thing. We couldn’t fall asleep with a strange hum similar to the hum of turbines, our heads were splitting, it turned out that there were huge air conditioners on the roof, they didn’t stop day or night. So my advice is to go to the 5th floor without a foot . Ask for the 4th floor, in case 3, but stock up on dichlorvos. Although the neighbors from the 5th floor said that they didn’t see cockroaches. But? The contingent is mainly Russia, Ukraine, I saw one Indian and a young Arab couple.
Nutrition
On the advice of vacationers, they took only breakfast. They were always the same. Omelet or noodles, if you come early. Then fried slices of sausages with vegetables, butter, cheese, bread, jam, bananas, juice, tea, coffee. We went to dine at Al Rigga. Once in a Syrian pizzeria next to the mosque. Big pizza +2 cola 0.33 = 40 dirhams (multiply by 9 - get rubles) ate 2 slices of the rest, they wrapped the rest with us. 50-60 dirhams, but everywhere you have to wait a long time and we sometimes went to a small supermarket near the 1st exit of the metro station and took something to the room. We bought coffee 122d, sugar 60, milk 35, bread 22d, etc. and often drank in the room. There is a kettle, a refrigerator, glasses in the room. They asked for a knife in the restaurant. An adapter for charging phones at the reception. If you need an iron, then also ask there. full wall picture of London, you will immediately see how much we liked it there. They have different sets to choose from. we took Chicken Fille for 15 d, which includes two large pieces of breaded chicken fillet, fresh and tasty, pepsi, sauce, french fries, a small jar of coleslaw and a jar of rice, overeat There are 2 Russian restaurants Arbat and Fantasia on this street. We didn’t go there, but we have their menu. Herring under a fur coat 25d and everything like that. , lay out. In general, you can eat differently from 30 to 100d for two, depending on your appetite and mood.
Beach
From the hotel they take you to 2 beaches for free. Jumeirah open beach at 8.00 and back at 13.00 admission is free, sunbed 10, umbrella 15, towel 5 dirhams. Many lie on their towels. And Al Mamzar beach. everything is paid. The beach is very beautiful, a lot of palm trees and you can sit under palm trees on 3 beaches under free mushrooms on your towels. They take you there at 9.00, pick up at 14.00.

They take you in a minibus, if there is not enough space, they will take you in a jeep. Only Indians work in the hotel, they speak English, but there is one Russian speaker. smile and everything will be fine.
Excursions
We went on 3 excursions. As the tourists who arrived advised us, they took it from street agencies on the beach and never regretted it. Our tour operator is much more expensive. worked well. In principle, you can go from everyone, the prices are the same, but different days of excursions, so take brochures, catalogs, study and have a good rest. We liked everything, we were satisfied.
shopping
There are a lot of malls in Dubai, they work until 11 p. m. nicer square and again they were not satisfied, our goods on the Vietnamese market are better in quality. Equipment and telephones are on every corner, at first they wanted to buy an iPhone, they looked like the prices are slightly lower than ours, but there is no guarantee. And we decided to buy houses. Also DSLRs You win 3 thousand, and if there is no guarantee, although many have been using Dubai equipment for years, but this is only our opinion. But there are very good stoles, of excellent quality and completely inexpensive, they collected them for gifts to colleagues.
Fur coats.
there is a whole story about fur coats, it’s a long story to tell. The guide of one of our compatriots with a detailed description of the stores and their photographs was very helpful in buying. The first day they forgot the guide at home and didn’t find anything, only a huge number of kamaks annoyed us, and a day later we quickly went around all the proposed stores and even made purchases. search on the Internet "Where to buy a fur coat in Dubai", but if you need my experience, contact me, I can help you in any way I can. I just want to say that you will not find cheap and at the same time good fur coats there. I got two fur coats for 5 a jacket with a graphite hood, a half-plucked degrade for 2.385 and a light fur coat for mother 110, a small flare color Wite gold gros creamy color, without a cap for 2.700 dollars. if you don’t leave without a fur coat, pick something up.

In general, we liked the UAE, everything is good and beautiful, but we don’t want to go here 5 times (only our opinion), there are still many countries where we haven’t been. If anyone has questions, write, I’ll be happy to help with advice, the advice of previous tourists is very Helped. A big hello and thank you to everyone. I apologize for the mistakes, it's time to sleep.
