That's a good hotel for business trip.
Rooms are clean, 4 elevators, 24 hours gym, spa and free pool on the roof.
Hotel has free shuttles to Dubai Moll and the beach. (They also had for the Gulfood)
-1 star because of reconstruction works around the hotel. That's the reason why you could reach the hotel only by car and would hear some noise all the time (even at night sometimes it happened)
Hello everyone
I'll tell you about Alofr al mina honestly)
Positive:
1. The staff is very polite and friendly, always ready to help (just Chip and Dale)
2. The rooms are stylish and comfortable, daily cleaning. The bed is just awesome, I slept like the dead))
3. The pool is small and cozy, but I would really like to have the mirrors washed))
4. There is a billiard table and mini-football as entertainment + someone leaves books on the shelf, we read)
Minuses :
1. Food - yes, you won't stay hungry, but eating rice and dala with frozen vegetables for dinner every day is not a pleasure (+ we had for breakfast (fried eggs or omelette + croissants)) lunch on a special menu changed every other day ( I also got tired of the monotony for 14 days ) they cooked the fish only in breadcrumbs, which you can't chew!
2. There is no normal transfer to the sea . I explain: the bus starts at 10:00, you need to go out at 9:45, preferably, go outside and take a queue for the bus, because it is small and designed only for 25 people, probably those who did not get on will either take a taxi, if you bargain, you can for 35 dirhams, or on foot (we practiced - 3.4 km and you're on the beach). Further, it's not a fact that you'll take it to the hotel, because if people don't get on the bus at the hotel, the bus doesn't go idling to the beach, but it also seems to us that the driver is a goat.
At 12 (if there are people on the beach) and at 17:00 (if there are people on the beach) .
The hotel, however, immediately warns that it is only a taxi back, but next to us, the La Quinta hotel, the bus always came for the guests! That is, it is precisely the attitude towards vacationers.
3. There is nowhere nearby to walk. We went both to the frame and to the old town, it's all within 3 km from the hotel, we also reached the museum of the future, (5 km) we were unlucky with tickets, they were not there.
In general, the hotel is not 4, but barely stretches to 3, and that's thanks to its staff and interior.
I do not recommend it with children, because there is no sea and nowhere to walk (we were with children)).
Among the advantages: the rooms are comfortable, there is a hairdryer on request and an iron, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel, drinking water is brought every day, a safe is free in the room. The shuttle takes you one way at 10:00, 12:00 and 17:00 to the Dubai Mall and the beach. The breakfasts are not bad, but they are more suitable for a hotel 3*;
Cons: half of the sockets in the rooms do not work, the light bulbs are burned out and do not change. Dinners are not worth taking at all: stewed beans, spicy pasta, rice, some kind of chicken meat in green gravy, deep-fried nuggets and chopped vegetables... A girl can eat a salad, but it is difficult to feed a man with such food. Beach towels, as I understand it, are not provided in the UAE.
