The hotel is good, not bad, but not great either.
The staff is polite and friendly.
The interior is solid, even tasteful, unobtrusive and pleasant music plays in the corridors, 4 good elevators. But because of the state of everything, I want to take off the star. The hotel could have been better if it hadn't been for the worn-out furniture, which was once solid and solid. Plumbing also requires attention and minor repairs, as well as the furnishings and interior of the hotel.
Good Wi-Fi both in the room and in the lobby.
They clean it every day, but it's bad - there's dust in the corners, the walls are not washed. The linen is generally pleasant - clean, fresh, but it may have an indelible stain and this does not bother hoteliers.
Convenient location, a little more than 100 meters from the sea, the beach is clean, but without cabins, sun beds, toilets and showers. But there is a great Umbrella beach nearby, where everything is available and a wholesale and retail supermarket Bismi.
There is a safe, hairdryer, air conditioning, kettle (tea, coffee, dry cream, water, replenished daily) TV with 30+ channels, but with terrible broadcast quality and no music channels.
Good and quite varied breakfasts, of different cuisines - European, Arabic, Indian. Good coffee, but the coffee machine makes only 4 types of coffee out of 12. There are juices and yogurts.
The pool and loggia are on the 19th floor, there is no desire to relax there, everything here is heated by the sun, there is little space and no longer remembers when it was new...
I liked the hotel! Convenient location, the beach is nearby, nearby shopping centers and attractions are within walking distance, for example: (Fujairah Fort is less than an hour on foot).
The beach across the street is clean and sparsely populated.
We arrived at the hotel at 8 o'clock, checked in and fed immediately. The room was given with a view of the mountains and the sea.
The staff throughout the hotel was pleasant, there were no comments.
The room was cleaned every day. The windows open in the room.
The only thing is that the monotonous food quickly began to get boring, but for us it was not a problem since we are not picky about food. And there are many cafes nearby.
In terms of price-quality ratio, the hotel is quite consistent with the money paid. A modern hotel on the beach, (though across a 6-lane road) attentive friendly staff, solving almost all issues, a decent room, a comfortable bed, a TV with smart TV, a bathroom with everything you need (shampoo, shower gel, body lotion), a hair dryer. Disposable slippers are also available on request. Free safe, iron, smart Internet in the room (also without extra charges, unlike in Turkey, for example) A decent breakfast buffet, without frills, but without poisoning, etc.
Of the minuses, the beach across the street is wild, you can't hide from the sun, you can't take a shower. The hotel does not use its proximity to the sea - neither from the restaurant, nor from the room, nor from the pool on the 19th floor there is a normal view of the sea. And all you need to do is increase the windows by 20-30 cm! For the design-2
Well, cleaning, cockroaches occasionally come across in the room is extremely unpleasant. I do not recommend coming here for a long time
Nice hotel, solid 4.
Nice staff.
Well-trained in the western moner.
you feel like a sir))
Excellent location, Wide coastline across the street.
However, Without sun beds and beach accessories.
Ventilation and air conditioning work perfectly.
The windows don't open, they're boarded up.
At times, there was not enough air from the window.
Equipped gym, sauna,spa.
What is stated everything works
We rested there in early November of the 24th year. A peaceful place as described from all the emirates. but there are cockroaches in the rooms (( and so everything is cool
There are people who come and find fault with everything. We came to rest and it was generally sideways to us that the window did not close completely, it was so hot there that I don't care. Someone took only breakfast and dragged a suitcase of food with them from Russia and still dined in a restaurant, well, it's a nightmare. Did you come to rest or survive?? We didn't deny ourselves anything and relaxed to the fullest. The sea is warm and transparent. Those who write about the Dubai Mall like everyone goes there to shop , nothing like that , prices are like in an ordinary expensive store . dancing fountains are also so-so, they've seen better. In principle, Dubai was not impressed, maybe we didn't walk around it much, but once you can go to the Emirates. The main thing was to bask in the sun and swim 👍
This is a great hotel! Almost four. It's okay that the furniture is not new, the interior of the rooms is on the same level. The food is above average, especially fish. The pool on the roof (we went to see it once - not that, because there is an ocean nearby). Cleaning is daily, hygiene and water supplies were replenished. Generally loyal and kind staff. We communicated with them in English. But the main thing is the ocean, a 3-minute walk from the wild beach, with a convenient entrance to the water. Do not forget to take something that can be made (we took a duvet cover from home). You can't think of a better location for a beach holiday! I recommend
The hotel is not for picky tourists, for those who came to swim in the sea, it is not in the center, so if you go to shopping malls, you need to take a taxi, about 12 derham in one direction. There is a Bismi store within walking distance, it is both wholesale and retail. The wild beach is across the street, although it can be very difficult to cross it, especially in the evening.The city beach is a 10-minute walk away, there are both showers and toilets. There is no shade on the beach at all, it is very bad, there is nowhere to hide from the sun. The hotel itself needs renovation, but it was cleaned, replenished with tea, coffee, cream, sugar, gel, shampoo as needed, water every day, bed linen and towels were often changed.The kettle broke, they brought it in 5 minutes, asked for an iron, they also brought it immediately, the staff is responsive, they try to help. The bed is clean, the mattress is comfortable. Our room was quite spacious. Of the cons, the view from the room to the neighboring house, and there is nowhere to dry things, nothing dries out. The air conditioner worked almost silently.There was always hot water in the room, the refrigerator also freezes normally, only the locker door must be kept open.Breakfast is quite normal, rolls, jam, butter, toast, coffee from a coffee machine, tea, olives, sausage, cheese, watermelon, melon, and 5-7 types of hot dishes, macaroni and cheese, potatoes, some kind of potato tortillas, very tasty, pancakes, tubes or triangles with minced meat (sometimes sharp ones). Milk soup, beans, boiled eggs, amlet, etc.The hotel is not bad if you go on a budget.
If you are looking for a calm, quiet holiday with the sea across the street, then here you are (2 photos). It's a long way from the airport, and from the big shopping malls too. I chose the hotel because of the distance to the sea. Nice clean rooms. Cleaning is daily. The only drawback is that the sockets need adapters. There are many small shops around the hotel, I bought there for 3 dirhams ~ 75 rubles. There is an outdoor swimming pool on the 19th floor (1 photo). I talked there with old aunts who didn't like the hotel, like the old one, but I think it was built in 2018. I had breakfast included, that was enough. I prefer cafes with other food (for example, seafood), which you will not be given at the hotel.
The windows in the room open, which is rare for the Emirates (3 photos). But there is also a conductor.
❗️for lovers of alcohol products ❗️there is an alcohol market a few minutes away by taxi. I took different bottles of whiskey, prices from 20 dirhams ~ 650₽ per bottle 0.7. Taxi drivers do not know Russian and English, but at the word Alcohol Market they will take you where you need to
Of the advantages:
-close to the ocean
-there is a place to eat nearby
-there are shops nearby
Of the cons:
- you have to run across a 6-lane road to the ocean, yeah
- the hotel has terrible audibility
- security at the hotel is usually inactive
- the rooms are already tired, the baths and everything else are also visible, it's time to change
- lifeguards smoke near the pool
-floors for smokers
- breakfast is like a lottery: when it's delicious, and when you go hungry
-the indifference of local workers
I wouldn't go back there anymore
Good afternoon, everyone! I stayed at the hotel from 12/31/2023 to 07.01.2024. Very convenient location of the hotel to the beach (700m walk to the beach). The staff is very helpful. Issues are resolved quickly. The food is acceptable, no one will remain hungry. Room 418 on the 7th floor was clean. The problem arose with the refrigerator, which heats up in the cabinet, and does not freeze because of this, but if you keep the cabinet door open, it freezes well. The plumbing seems to be new, but it leaks. The sound insulation is excellent, despite the presence of nightclubs in the hotel itself. In general, I liked everything. Nice hotel!
I came here for a couple of nights from Dubai, purely to "change the situation."
The budget option is good enough for your money. We were settled quickly. The rooms are simple, but everything you need is there.
I was very pleased with the view of the mountains from the window :)
The area around the hotel was really a bit sad, I would not recommend staying here for a long time.
I read reviews and looked at photos. Nothing scared me. I'm telling you about my experience.
We stayed at the hotel for 12 days with a 2-year-old child. Breakfast +dinner. We met some more of the same brave souls, the claims to the hotel are similar: 1. The food is not intended for baby food at all.
2. Active traffic on the highway, the beach is across the street, the daredevils run over, but there is a zebra nearby, and then they do not willingly stop there.
3. There is nowhere to walk. There is not a well-groomed and gentrified area around.
As for the room and cleaning, there are no complaints. To eat, there is. Sparse. Minimal. Very acute.
But!!!
How to survive with children: and still go to the beach on a zebra. But to the far beach of Umbrella. 10 minutes on foot. Well-groomed, gentrified, everything for people and children. There are cafes there, you can spend the whole daylight from 10 to 16h.
There are many shops around our hotel, where you can also buy something. There is a wholesale store across the intersection, but I paid $9×110r for 1 kg of bananas, apples, a bag of marshmallows, a pack of cookies and 1 ice cream. Well, I won't tell you too much.
The restaurant does not offer sweets in the hotel. Tea is only for breakfast. Soups are very spicy and specific in taste and smell.
It took 2.5 hours to get from the airport. Comfortably on their roads. But, the wheels of my suitcase were broken, so I was not in a good mood.
I'm not coming here anymore.
Previously written reviews are mostly true. You can only stay here for a couple of days. Preferably by savages, in pairs. But without children.
The photo is mostly of Umbrella Beach
Solid three, the food is tolerable, cleanliness is 4, the rooms are tired, especially the plumbing, the staff is 5, in general they try, they do not beg for money. The main advantage for a city hotel is the proximity to the beach, 100 meters to the wild. This leads to disadvantages - it's a long way to civilization, only Pakistani supermarkets are nearby.
Have a good rest, everyone.We arrived in Dubai on April 18th after a downpour that passed on the 16th.Everything is OK with the guides.They were sent on a mini-bead.We drove for 2 hours .
It's hot outside.Burned down, even sunbathing under a palm tree.
The food was good, they only took breakfast.
Opposite the hotel, the artels fish with nets, you can.come up or watch from the pool on the 19th floor.You can go fishing on the cape ,
Local fishermen catch mackerel with buckets.
I went fishing three times and fished in the heat.
They will cook inexpensively in a cafe next to the hotel.The cafe is covered with film, this is different from others.In others it may be more expensive.For 12 dihrams, 12 pieces of mackerel will be fried that you catch.Or they will fry their fish, it will also turn out to be inexpensive.
At the market, where you can walk for 20 minutes, you can buy seafood and fruits.
Of the cons, the music from the bar, or rather the chattering from it.
We lived on the 5th floor.Heard all night
Everything else is fine.There are not many Russians, but everyone is sociable, ask and the rest will become more intense.Excursions.If it's the first
time, then you can go to Dubai and take a boat trip .
It takes 12 dihrams by taxi to reach Fort Fujairah.Admission is free.
There is no animation in the hotel.But there is the sea, the sun.
If you want to see sea turtles, then from the rocks where they fish with fishing rods, stand for 20 minutes and she will swim.The size of a frying pan.
There are a lot of crabs on the rocks.Early in the morning, they run along the sand on the beach, hiding in minks.
A chic 19-storey hotel with a swimming pool on the 19th floor. The staff is polite, the breakfasts are impeccable. I definitely recommend it. The sea is within walking distance, near cafes, cooking, pharmacies, supermarket. 10 minutes and you're at Bisma's. Location is better and not necessary
There are more pros than cons: good location (10 minutes walk to the well-maintained Umbrella beach). The room is clean, towels are changed every day, soap, shampoo, shower gel, body lotion, toothbrush and paste are replenished as needed. The breakfasts are delicious. The room is large. The staff at the hotel is friendly. Minus: the lack of a balcony.
Why did I come here, the hotel is nothing, the food is terrible, all cookies and salty, they don't give tea or coffee at lunch, you make a remark to be angry.
This vacation is for those who have not seen better.
At night, water flowed from the ceiling in the toilet.
I had to get up and call the staff.
The hotel does not have its own territory, of course you have to go out.
There is dirt and garbage around the hotel, you need to walk blindfolded.
I had to buy a mat and beg an umbrella from the neighbors, horror.
Great hotel! The staff is aerobatics-not a single conflict, not a single problem, only positive emotions. Russian Russian is spoken by the young man at the reception-Ahmed-it's so nice) Another employee, probably security, I don't know the name, but he was so cute, he always opened the door. The boy who cleaned the rooms, 8th floor, thank him very much, such an unobtrusive service, super. Breakfasts: chic, special attention to coffee, real custard, strong. The beach is right opposite, wild, with fishermen, but you are your own masters there. And you can collect a million shells. Further, a 15-minute walk away is the well-groomed Umbrella Municipal beach. But keep in mind that you will have to behave within the limits there, despite the fact that this is a beach. So I recommend a wild beach and, by the way, that the shore, that the bottom is much better than a well-groomed beach. There is an inconvenience. The road from the hotel to the beach, which must be crossed without a pedestrian crossing. It's not a big deal. We didn't stay more than two minutes. Very big advantages: leaving the hotel to the left-you want to take a taxi, you want to walk, a little further as Umbrella beach ends, there is a Beach shop, that is, an alcohol market. Prices, a dream! Dutik wasn't standing next to him. Leaving the hotel to the right: walk a little forward, opposite you will see a cube shop with a gift car at the entrance, called BiSmi. This is the best store in the city, albeit a minimarket. You will get everything you need and even more here at an excellent price. For comparison, the vaunted lulumarket did not suit us. Well, for the rest, the main thing is to keep an eye on the weather, it is capricious here. Oh, well, yes, the hotel has a pool on the 19th floor. But the water is not heated. But it's still cool!
We stayed at the hotel in April 2024. I very rarely write reviews, but here I decided it might be useful to someone.
We bought a tour as a 4* hotel. Of course it's not 4*, but probably 3 * (I just never rested at 3 *). And probably, if the hotel was declared as 3*, then everything would be clear…
I don't even know where to start writing from the good or the bad?
We checked in quickly, the room had to be changed, it was also quickly changed without any problems - thank you.
The bed is great (the mattress is perfect), thanks a lot for that too!
A huge plus is that the beach area is nearby and you can choose where to go.
I'm afraid that's where my advantages ended.
The room itself, and as a hotel, is all shabby and in need of repair.
Towels - everything is as it was written in previous reviews.
Food is the word - stay hungry! And it's not the first time in the UAE, and I've always been surprised how delicious they cook. You will not see such dishes in this hotel, but you will constantly see plates being cleaned in front of you - it's terrible! (once again, they paid for 4*)
Coffee machine 2 is working, has been resting for 2 days.
Cleaning - well, it seems like they are cleaning, the bathroom is “especially clean"!
Everything is dirty near the hotel too.
There's not much place to go. The nearest exchanger is 20-30min. There is also a vegetable and fish market nearby.
I don't really understand the people who came here for the second time. We definitely don't set foot here anymore!
I give 3 stars, there is definitely no more, but this is my opinion.
They were brought to the hotel at 9 a.m., immediately checked in and sent for breakfast. The room was spacious on the 11th floor, but I took it with a view of the mountains and mostly these rooms overlooked neighboring houses and my window was right in front of someone else's loggia. I asked to change the room and they changed it to a room with a sea view without extra charge, although it was a little smaller, but spacious enough for one. Cleaning is done in the evening and not always, but if you call the reception or ask the person who does it, they will immediately clean it. There was also a kettle in the room, sets with tea, coffee, sugar and cream, two bottles of water, and in the bathroom shower gel, shampoo, body balm, toothbrush and paste. Slippers were brought upon request. All that was missing, she asked to bring it and immediately brought it. There is also an iron in the room, which is very convenient. I only took breakfast at the hotel. The assortment is not large, but you definitely won't stay hungry, the only minus, and for me, there was no sweet. The public beach is 900 meters from the hotel, and the wild one is across the street from the hotel. It is very convenient for a beach holiday, there are also cafes and shops nearby. The hotel is very conveniently located and the staff is very helpful. During the rest there was not a single unresolved problem. The pool is on the 19th floor, but I just went there a couple of times to sit for a while. There is no point in using the pool when the sea is nearby.
Nice hotel in the city. Please note that this is just a high-rise building without its own territory.
Of the advantages:
- there's a beach across the street. All you have to do is run across the road.
- there is a swimming pool on the 19th floor (and also a sauna, spa, etc.)
- I don't know about everyone, but I was lucky: they checked in at 9 a.m. on arrival (and not at 15.00) and were allowed to hang out in the room until 14.00
- the breakfasts are good, there is always something to eat + the coffee is good
Of the cons:
- no hair dryer
- on the 14th floor (maybe on the rest, I don't know) there is almost no hot water, barely warm
- there is no balcony
Overall a great place. And to go for a swim, and there is somewhere to go in the evening, because there is a lot of everything nearby
We liked it, we have already visited this hotel twice, the first time in December of the nineteenth year and in December of the twenty-third. Of course, there are changes, both for the good and for the bad.
On the positive side, a lot was completed, improved, it became convenient to walk along the road, the beach in front of the hotel was cleared, there were several places where you can go and see, the hotel is located almost next to the ocean, which is very cool. You don't have to take the bus, as they do from other hotels. Water is given in bottles every day. There is a fish market nearby, you can choose a fish that you like and bake it in a nearby cafe. You can also buy king prawns, lobsters, langoustines and other animals at the market, for a very reasonable price, which we did instead of dinners. There is also a large liquor store where you can buy various drinks, and the prices seemed to us much lower than in the same dutifry.
One of the disadvantages is that the hotel is a little dilapidated, they stopped giving towels for the beach (they can only be used by the pool, which is located on the 19th floor of the building). We completed the road next to the hotel and now it is very difficult to cross it (the pedestrian crossing is not very convenient and far away), the breakfasts have become more modest, but we had enough. We weren't at the dinner, but according to those who had it on, it would be better not to take it at all. There is only one towel in the room per person, with the condition that they are not given to the beach, many of them were taken from the room, which you will agree is not very convenient.
In general, the rest was a success, we were there for sixteen nights, but I also wanted to stay. Have a good mood and a pleasant stay!
The hotel is wonderful! The service is excellent, the location is wonderful. The breakfasts are delicious, the rooms are spacious and clean! The sea is across the road, only the traffic is annoying-there are no pedestrian crossings, I had to run across, it's dangerous. The hotel itself is highly recommended for service.
Solid 3* with elements of four. Keep this in mind when choosing.
Meals for three, for breakfast: they cook an omelette in front of you. In the morning, only sausages, they write that they are chicken. Sliced vegetables. For breakfast, slices of watermelon and melon. We went to lunch once for an additional fee.the fee is very expensive for a very modest choice.
The location is gorgeous - across the street from the beach. And in both directions from the hotel you can go and get to other beaches. But the road is three-lane in both directions. Without a traffic light. Sometimes the traffic is very intense.
The rooms are large and spacious. But the windows are high from the floor. We took a sea view, but the surcharge turned out to be stupid, to see this sea, you have to go to the window. Sitting on the bed, the sea is not visible. They only give you two large towels. There are no separate towels for hands and feet. The water in the shower was warm only once. Daily cleaning and change of towels, shampoo, soap, gel and cream are added. Put two bottles of 0.5 liters of water, 2 bags of coffee, tea, sugar and dry cream. If there is no cleaning, tell the reception.
The rooftop pool is on the 19th floor. The pool is cold. You can get beach towels there. There are few of them.
There is no transfer to large shopping malls. There is no tour desk. One guy at the reception speaks Russian. But he's not always there.
The only advantage of this hotel is that it is located almost on the ocean. Otherwise, his golden days have long since sunk into oblivion))
Old furniture, old carpet, I ran into cockroaches a couple of times))
The staff is generally helpful, but lazy and careless.
One more point, the nearest crossing to the ocean side through an obese road is far away, so they ran over one way or used taxi drivers.. The breakfasts were included in the price, but were of very average quality in a buffet format. I was 2 times - the quality was falling. I recommend it only if you are looking for cheap and close to the ocean.
On the plus side, next to the right of the exit, on the ring, there is a wonderful restaurant where delicious dorado and shrimp were cooked. I recommend it there
A hotel with bed bugs and cockroaches!!! The repair is shabby, there are many flaws, it is dirty, especially in the corridors, they are rarely cleaned. Almost all of the food is Indian and spicy, there is little choice. I do not recommend this hotel.
I lived for a couple of days, the hotel is pretty good, everything is clean, the food is good, the emphasis is on Indian cuisine, moderately spicy, there is a small pool, I recommend
The room is good. The food is terrible, peppery, not tasty. Why are there no desserts? The location is good, the beach is a disaster. The service is excellent, the staff is excellent
A good hotel, booked by booking.Umbrella beach is a 10-minute walk away.The room has a sea view, nice,clean,beautiful.There is a rooftop pool, sauna, restaurant, several clubs (but we did not go).A baby cot was provided for the child.
An old, "tired" hotel, with responsive staff. There is no kitchen. But the distance from the water and the empty beach make up for everything!

Good location, Umbrella beach is 7 minutes away..Friendly staff. There is a currency exchange, but not very profitable. Breakfast for 30 dirachms. There is also dinner. There are rooms for smokers, there are non-smokers, if you do not smoke, then it is better to clarify this point right away, in some rooms it hits your nose right at the entrance so that it blows out of the room like on wings In a non-smoking room there is not much smell.The rooms themselves are not bad, a great bed, a shower, a bathtub. There is a small cooler, a maximum of a couple of bottles of water. They change shampoos every day and can clean the room on request. There are two main disadvantages. The TV is wildly annoying, which turns on every time you enter the room, there is no way to unplug it from the socket And the second drawback is the constant hum in the corridor, which gets stronger the further away. I don't know what the joke is, I lived several times, at first it's fine, after a few days it starts buzzing more. The first time I asked to be moved at all, since the bed started vibrating This time for 5 nights normally, now it started buzzing again, I can clearly hear the hum in the earplugs. Otherwise, everything is fine, if the hum does not bother, then you can check in. Unfortunately, I cannot attach the noise meter data, since Yandex only sees files from the Photos folder, it does not see other images from the gallery, for example screenshots.
A good hotel and helpful staff, a variety of breakfasts. I liked.

The staff tries to solve all the problems, they are friendly. The place is good, near a wild beach, a 10-minute walk to the equipped one.
Of the cons: running across a six-lane road, no pedestrian crossings were found. The first and last floors of the hotel are bars. At first we were settled on the 17th floor, I can't imagine how people sleep there. Very loud music. Even on the 6th floor, you could hear the bass. But it didn't bother us to sleep. Elevators sometimes had to wait. And if local men rode in the elevator with their women, then tourists were no longer allowed there. Sometimes the waiting for the elevator really took up to 5-10 minutes.
The breakfasts are good, there is plenty to choose from. It was delicious. The content was partially changed.
In general, it is not very good. When 1 elevator out of 3 broke down, the wait could last up to 5 minutes, or even more. The most unpleasant final point of the stay was the so-called "dry ration", which was supposed to be given instead of breakfast at early departure at 04:30. I ordered it a day in advance during breakfast on the previous day -OK, it will be. Then, just in case, I repeated the order in the picture in the afternoon - OK, it will be. Result: I waited on the bus with others for 10-15 minutes until they cooked and brought it.
I liked the hotel. All the staff is friendly. The food is varied. There is a beach near the hotel, there is a wild and equipped one. We mostly swam in the wild.
Plus, the hotel is on the first line, adequate staff, but requires cosmetic repairs, the room was large with two bathrooms, but not a view. You can spend the night and have breakfast.
A great hotel stayed in it for a week, I really liked the buffet, the staff, and especially the pool on the roof of the hotel, the view from there is magical
I only came here to do Thai therapeutic massage. I haven't lived, I can't say anything. But I got a good massage, the girl washed all the points, well done!
The service is on the level, everything is clean, cleaned regularly)
There is a dining room, the food is spicy! Everything!
And so it is in all of Dubai!There is no place to eat
Nice hotel, helpful staff. We took breakfast and dinner , everything is delicious, I recommend it .Umbrella beach is 10 minutes away, very clean sea , clear water, turtles swim...take masks, dive and see everything...
An ordinary old hotel, everything is staggering, hanging out, for 5 days of stay, the masters and staff were called twice, the safe was repaired once, the second time I got tired of living without toilet paper for a day, they asked me to bring it. The food is a monotonous buffet, you will not die of hunger. The beach nearby is wild, dirty, construction and garbage mixed with the beach. But there is a plus you are alone on the beach and in the sea. On the 19th floor there is a swimming pool, Jacuzzi and sun beds and you are alone again. Within walking distance of the clothing and food market, very close to 2 supermarkets
The hotel is located by the road. There is no private beach. I'm already tired myself. It is very difficult to cross the road, especially with children. I won't go anymore
