Rested with his wife for the May holidays. In the UAE for the first time, so we chose the hotel almost at random - it's good that we hit the bull's-eye. Firstly, this hotel is located in a good Tecom area of ​ ​ ​ ​ Dubai, this is far from the noisy Deira with all its annoying Indians. The metro station is right at the exit of the hotel, plus Toyota Camry taxis are on duty around the clock. The hotel provides free buses - both to the paid beach and to the free beach, as well as in the evening to the Dubai Marina area and to another stock mall in the desert. So there is no problem to get anywhere at all. Some of our tourists went on foot to another beach, it seems like it’s nearby, I haven’t been there, so I won’t say anything. At the reception there is a Russian-speaking guide Victoria, when I checked in, I booked a room with a view of the city, but she cheated a little and gave me a room "at the end of the corridor" which has a long balcony for 2 rooms at once overlooking both Sheikh Zayed Road and Bay with Burj Al Arab : )))) on the 37th floor. It's hard to put into words the view! Gorgeous!! ! The room consists of a bedroom, a living room, a kitchen with furniture, a refrigerator, and a full set of tableware and a microwave, a bathroom and another room with an ironing board, an iron and a washing machine. For those who miss cleaning on vacation, there is a broom and a scoop : ))))) Cleaned every day, everything is clean, there was also a complete set of all shaving and soap accessories in the bathroom. The UAE is not our first country, but it is the first apartment hotel, so my wife was delighted, despite the fact that we used to live in more expensive hotels. There are 2 TVs in the room and there are 2 channels of Russian ORT and RTR. We had breakfast at the hotels, everything was delicious, high quality, but somewhat monotonous. Therefore, if you are traveling for more than 7 days, consider whether it is worth taking breakfast for the whole time. Internet in the room and at the reception is paid. The mini market in the hotel is a big plus. I must say right away that there is no alcohol there, therefore duty free on arrival. And I would put this hotel 9, if not for one but !!! ! Upon check-in, the hotel takes a deposit of 500 dirhams (163 ye) which are returned upon check-out. I wanted to give cash, but I was advised "for convenience" to reserve this amount on a plastic card. I left early in the morning at 6 am, and to my question about my money, the receptionist smiled in English and said that everything was OK, the money was returned. It was May 2, today 11, what can I say, client-bank statements say otherwise. Money written off and all !! ! Therefore, the score is 7. If anyone has questions, I will be happy to answer.
