Let's start with the pros: friendly staff is always ready to help, excellent daily room cleaning, quite cozy rooms, low price (especially across the island)
Cons: far from the sea, disgusting area, the pool did not work.
I stayed at the hotel for 4 days, everything was fine, except that I was constantly lost in the streets of Deira and could not find the hotel)))As they say, there are no bedbugs and cockroaches, very good cleaning, snow-white sheets and towels. If you are considering a budget option for a few days, it is quite suitable.
The hotel corresponds to its 2 stars, far from new, but clean, there was cleaning every day. A comfortable mattress, a pillow, which is important to me. The staff is attentive, friendly, responsive to requests, Russian-speaking at the reception. There are disadvantages, but I'm used to evaluating adequately, if you want a chic shine, be ready to pay much more. The block is considered Pakistani, but it is safe to walk even at night (there are a lot of people on the streets). In the UAE, the law is at every turn, so it is safe.
For 2 stars it is good. Pros: polite staff. Not intrusive. The breakfast is of the same type, but edible. I had enough of it for the whole day.Instead of dinner, lunches (I didn't take it myself, but I heard that it was so).It is better not to take lunch because any access to the beach or attraction is long.There is a Russian speaker at the reception.The minus is rather not about the hotel: the area is untidy. It's 20 minutes to the subway, but I'm used to it.I connected a 2 gig tariff for 49 dihrams (1300) to the SIM card, so as not to get confused using Yandex maps.There is a grocery store nearby. There is a supermarket near the caterfall metro station. It's 4 minutes to the bus, but when you go from the beach there are traffic jams. It is better to take the subway))).
