For 5 stars, it would not be bad to upgrade the repair, diversify the menu. It's the same thing for breakfast. On the plus side, it was a 10-15-minute walk to the sea, which didn't bother me. Walking distance to the metro, this is if you do not want to take a taxi. Many of the staff know Russian. There are plenty of shops around and there is a shopping center nearby.

We had a rest in April 2024. The room has everything you need: iron, kettle, hair dryer, slippers, soap, gel, shampoo, toothbrushes were not there. Cleaning every day, bed linen was not changed.
We took half board (breakfast + dinner), a lot of food, but without frills.
There is a shuttle service to the beach once an hour (5 minutes and on the beach), 15 minutes on foot to the beach, beach towels are provided at the hotel on deposit.
It is a 10-minute walk to the metro and a 15-minute walk to the Dubai Marina Mall. The hotel has a Russian-speaking staff
Overall, I liked the hotel! I recommend it!

Wonderful location, good breakfast. Polite staff, communication in Russian is possible. At the same time, it is worth noting some "deterioration" of the situation. It is better to choose accommodation on the upper floors, as there is a construction site nearby. It's fine for a week's rest.

I am still on vacation at this hotel. The hotel met my expectations, it is great for everyone!
The food surprises every day with its variety and uniqueness, the location is excellent and the metro and the sea are all within walking distance.
The staff is polite, everything is clean and smells nice. The pool is spacious, but we prefer to go to the sea. I advise you not to regret it.

Your expectations are your problems.
First of all, my review is worth reading to those who are traveling to Dubai for the first time, especially to the area of Palma, JBR and Marina as a whole. I heard a lot of negativity from the hotel guests, let's figure it out, because the hotel is really not bad, but there are nuances.
What was I doing in this hotel? I had 3 final days of my long trip to different countries of the Middle East, the very rest after the rest, in the UAE I have already managed to visit different hotels, almost in all emirates, so there is a lot of watching.
When evaluating a hotel, I think it is always necessary to understand where it is located and how much it costs. Here you can conditionally find 4-5 stars on the first line all inclusive, but somewhere on the corner of Ajman almost in the desert, and it takes time and money to get to Dubai, although they often carry transfers for free. And you can see beautiful pictures of the Marina and come to 5 stars for breakfast for the same money to this hotel, and be surprised at the quality of service, prices around, crowds of locals on the common beach, and finally conclude about Dubai that it is so incomprehensible.
My dialogue with one of the guests is rather an insult on his part: I arrived at 5 stars in Dubai and stand in line for breakfast, it's a long walk to the sea, around the city, I expected that 5 stars in Dubai is a completely different level! I say, but you chose the cheapest five in the Marina, you either need to multiply the price tag by 2, or go to Sharjah or Ajman, where you will be happy for the same money. What do you think was the answer? Well, I want to go to the Marina, it's here to look at skyscrapers and all that.
And the flow of guests who came on tours with a flight was large, many are going for the first time, and expect something beyond. My opinion is simple, you can combine a beach holiday and a tour of Dubai while living in the Marina only in a hotel on the 1st line, or with walking around beach clubs, despite their cost, but in any case it will not be 180-200 tr with a flight for 2 people.
If you decide to go to Dubai for the first time, just decide clearly why you are here, a beach holiday for reasonable money is Ajman and Sharjah. Marina and Palma are a completely different price level. Here is my example a few years ago, 4 stars in Sharjah for all inclusive for 4 days 35 tr, and 5 stars on 1 JBR line 68 tr for breakfast/dinner.
And now briefly about the hotel itself, after a long introduction.
Rooms and views:
The hotel is a high-rise of about 40 floors, we had a room with a view of the Marina, and the room and the view and the cleaning were excellent. There are rooms with a worse view, but I kind of paid a little more for the view.
Breakfast dinner: Yes, sometimes there were queues at breakfast to enter during peak hours, but this is normal, not very critical. The food itself is kind of normal, well, that is, it's still a top five in Dubai in the Marina, but there are enough gaps, it's just good. But their most important gap is dinner without tea and coffee, that is, for a fee, well, seriously, for them it's a penny, and in my opinion there is much more negativity, provided that there are significantly fewer people at dinner, and everything is fine with drinks at breakfast.
The pool and sun beds: a small area, but still there were always places, they will fall down after breakfast, it is unclear how to spend the whole day there.
Location: Convenient for a mixed format, the metro is close, the supermarket is close, the beach is well more or less close. Such a half-hearted solution in general.
The verdict. If you go understanding the format of the hotel, with some clear goals, then the hotel is generally not bad, it is for this place for this money. If there is an opportunity to buy something better, but more expensive, I would choose something else, if you are looking for a beach holiday - forget about the Marina for a reasonable price, and most importantly, I am deeply convinced that if you do not need parties in beach clubs, then just 1 day in the Marina with boat rides with dinner in the evening you will more than enough for the impressions of the first trip.
And if you are not afraid of 400-500 rubles per week for two, then I am sure you can find many options in these surroundings. The main question of the format is what you want to get from a vacation in Dubai, so that there would not be a strong gap between expectation and reality.

We stayed at the hotel in June 2024. The hotel does not meet the stated 5 stars. Tired rooms in need of renovation (smudges on the walls, stains on the carpets, running faucet, furniture and curtains need dry cleaning). The photos of the rooms on the website and in the travel agency do not correspond to reality. They were moved into smoking rooms without warning, with a terrible hood. The number was changed 3 times. 10 meters in front of the main entrance there is a large construction site, the courtyard of the hotel (where the pool is) overlooks the neighboring house where visitors live, dry their clothes and look at tourists. The contingent of vacationers at the hotel is simple, there are many representatives from the CIS countries. If in doubt, then you should not choose this hotel, even despite the good recommendation of the travel agency manager. Among the advantages of the hotel, I would like to note the excellent work of the chief manager, who really helped in solving the problem, good hearty delicious breakfasts, thank you for the excellent work of the cook and staff at the breakfast restaurant (including Russian speakers).

We stayed at this hotel in early November. It doesn't pull at 5 stars at all. Everything is tired, the decoration and design are outdated. There is almost no territory, and it is squeezed between the houses closely. A small pool and balconies of neighboring houses with locals hanging on them hang above it. The breakfasts are excellent and these are all the advantages. The rooms are small.

Nice hotel. Polite, courteous staff. There are Russian speakers. adapters to sockets are given out, do not buy! They feed you like they're going to cut you tomorrow :D Swimming pool, hookah by the pool in the evening. There is alcohol in the bar.
But two disadvantages for those who like to dig in, for me they are insignificant.
1. A construction site with a view of "city view" can interfere, mostly at night she was silent, but sometimes she worked. but whatever, I was very tired, so I don't give a shit + there are birushas in the room.
2. The room is 21 degrees and my air conditioner is not working at +. Someone may freeze, for me this is the ideal temperature for a sweet sleep. To each his own.

There is a construction site next to the hotel, and that says it all. It is impossible to sleep at night. Breakfast corresponds to the stars. But it's the 10-00 turn! It is better to have breakfast in the lobby bar! The same menu, but without a queue and for the same money.

The hotel is located by the road, construction began nearby in 24, keep in mind, it will be dusty and noisy, but there is an opportunity to upgrade the room, so I got a view of the Persian Gulf.
The hotel staff is polite, they speak different languages. Please note that this is 5 stars, But very tired, you can immediately see that a lot of people accept.
The breakfasts are good 10 out of 10, the restaurant is large, divided into 2 zones.
Check-in from 15:00, before check-in, it is possible to take a shower and leave your belongings.
Every hour according to the schedule there is a shuttle service that will take you to the beach, but it is very close, 10 minutes on foot.

We rested here for 5 days, breakfast and dinner are excellent, varied, constantly replenished. The location is excellent, 7-10 minutes walk to the beach, the beach is free, but without sun beds. Near the metro, there is free Parking (the car is parked by a hotel employee). The staff is excellent, any issue is resolved quickly. The rooms are good, we had a view of the highway, but the noise did not bother. There are some rooms with a view of the construction site, which is quite noisy, but when checking in, you can ask for a view not of it, we were lucky in this regard. Free small spa area - hammam, sauna and Jacuzzi, separate for men and women; pool on the 1st floor, small, there is also a children's pool. In general, I recommend the hotel, I did not find any serious disadvantages.

A good budget five. Excellent breakfasts and dinners, good location. Close to public transport, the beach is a 15-minute walk away. I would consider cleaning as a minus. In the beginning, they cleaned well, but on the last day they did not clean the room at all. They never changed the bed linen, although they were supposed to every three days. There was no desire to make a row at the reception.

Disgusting food! I took off two stars because of the food!
The hotel itself is not bad, the room is spacious, nice, but some of the rooms go to the construction site, they build both day and night!!! The bathroom is large, there is everything you need, a large closet with lighting, wallpaper is not much scuffed, but it does not matter to us, the main thing is to have a clean and comfortable bed, the sheets are not on an elastic band, so we always had to fix them, but this is not critical. There is tea, water, coffee in the room (capsule coffee machine, coffee is terrible).
The staff is very responsive, good, the cleaning is excellent, they met well, 140 dirhams were paid for early check-in, well, the tax, the payment of Union Pay does not work at the hotel, only cash, in other places everywhere payment was made using the Gazprombank Union Pay card!
The hotel has a good location, walking distance to the metro, as well as to the tram, the Marina Mall is also not far away, well, it's a pleasure to walk to the promenade and the sea! You can call a taxi via Yandex, the card linked to the application also works perfectly! A taxi arrives in one minute and only the "business" fare, prices are the same as in Moscow for this category.
That's where the pros end, we took breakfast and dinner meals, and they're disgusting! The first breakfast had salmon and brie, even very tasty, but then everything was gone, there was some smoked meat instead (((
The glaze can be ordered, but it is made in oil, which is used several times, then wipe the pan with a napkin and pour the oil again, the shell will fall off - I don't care, they don't fry, the whole glaze is covered in snot, since a lot of people and cooks are in a hurry, they can not be called cooks!!! The fruits are the same and they are not ripe, as for cattle! Vegetables (only tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce) are very few of them and they are sour, not tasty, the salad is full. In general, the whole menu is as cheap and monotonous as possible, there are no dinners at all, there is nothing to eat from the word at all, everything is greasy and with spices, more monotonous than breakfast. There will be nothing from proper nutrition, but people are happy and picking up a mountain of green fruits , praising the chefs , moreover, there are a lot of sweets for dinner, but there is no tea, it is paid, they ordered a teapot of tea for 20 dirhams, they thought they would bring good custard tea, as a result, there is one bag of Indian dust in the teapot This is a fiasco, bro!
There is no pool in the hotel, tiny and in constant shade, without sun and under the wind, so-so entertainment, but we did not count on it! Marina Dubai beach is Anapa , dirty and crowded, you need to go to others.
In general, I advise you not to take meals at the hotel, there are plenty of good cafes, especially Uzbek, where it is delicious and cheap, and the portions are huge, at the food court in the Marina Mall, you can also find delicious cafes, you will pay a lot of money for dinners and breakfasts, but you will not get satiety and pleasure Definitely! At least for those who eat right or are picky about food , definitely not here)
Oh, yes, I forgot to say that on your birthday they bring you a compliment in the form of a cake and a postcard, it was nice 🤗

We have been staying at the hotel since February 26th. It was the second time we were there. The quality of service and food has become worse than it was 4 years ago.
Construction has begun nearby, city view = view of the crane. Somewhere up to the 12th floor for sure. So ask for a higher floor.
The breakfasts are monotonous, there is more choice at dinner. But the baby is 2 years old, there was absolutely nothing to eat at dinner.
A children's table is not provided.
The cots are in very poor condition. They brought only a bed and a mattress with a sheet - they did not give either a pillow or a blanket.
The pool is not heated, during this period it was warm only for lunch.
The way to the sea and the beach are magnificent.
Room cleaning is also great.

I am delighted with the view from the room!
It's a long way in the heat (September 2023) to go to the marina.
The pool is on the 1st floor, in the shade, so the water is cool, refreshes well, unlike the water in the pools on the roofs. Minus, - the pool is open until 20:00, in another hotel you could soak until 22:00, I liked it more.
Breakfast in the room (the first on the menu, with fruit), - just fire! A basket of rolls, a basket of sweets, a plate of fruit, - mmmm!
There are Russian-speaking staff at the reception.

There is no information anywhere on the hotel's website that there is a construction site 10 meters away. The tour operator , of course, did not warn about this either. Instead of city View, you're looking at a construction site, not to mention night jobs. The pool is located on the 1st floor and the pool offers a wonderful view of other people's underpants, which are drying in huge quantities in the building opposite! You get pool towels only for a deposit, 100 dirhams is a card for one towel. There were 3 of us. Breakfast is just nothing to eat) if it wasn't for the omelette, we would be hungry. Is it 5 stars?! Location 15 minutes to the beach , 15 minutes to the metro - in the heat ! It is better to pay extra and take on 1 line. The most unfriendly staff, especially the guys at the pool, at least the prime ministers. Worn plumbing , well , OK. At the reception they speak Russian, but they also serve! :) I hope you understand what I mean! I will never come to this hotel again.

A city hotel with a good location, wonderful staff, including Russian-speaking, an excellent chef and an assortment of dishes for both breakfast and dinner. To the beach 10-15 minutes at a leisurely pace, the shuttle to the beach was not used, because, firstly, it is lucky to the beach far from the hotel, and secondly, it rarely goes (according to the schedule). DNCC metro station is within walking distance, shops and cafes too. The Dubai Marina area is certainly beautiful, but while its active development is underway, the landscapes outside the window will be appropriate.

The hotel is super! it is located next to the Dubai marina mall, every hour a bus pulls up to the hotel and takes it first to the beach (picks up and drops people off), then goes to the marina mall, and then back to the hotel. The terrace of the hotel itself is small, there are 2 swimming pools, a large one for children, a smaller one (1.3 m) There is a pool bar. The dining room is super, the food is delicious, I especially advise you to try fish) There is a sauna and a Jacuzzi (free of charge) + a small gym (there is always a maximum of 1-3 people) There are inexpensive cafes nearby. The view from the hotel window is wonderful, the only thing that confused me was the construction site, but it is visible if you come close to the window and look down. The staff is good, kind and nice people.
