Plus: It's a very cool location. Nearby is the Union metro station, an interchange hub.
There is a marina on Dubai Creek within walking distance to get to the other shore by water.
The staff is polite and helpful. All requests were fulfilled sooo quickly.
Minus: it's time to make cosmetic repairs at the hotel.
Dirty Indian hotel. They refused to check in, saying that the reservation had been canceled and that there were no available rooms. Then they offered to pay an additional 120 dirhams.
Vacationed with my husband at the hotel in early February 2020. In general, we liked the hotel. The location is very good - there are no construction sites, metro and buses are within walking distance. There are many cafes nearby where you can have a snack. Transfer to the beach every morning, you negotiate the time at the reception, the bus takes you back at 13:00. We were on the beach twice, as every day was scheduled. There is a lot to see in Dubai. We were completely satisfied with the food, we liked both breakfasts and lunches.Everything you need in the rooms is there, the only thing you asked for is a kettle, cleaning the room if you hang the appropriate sign. The only bad thing, of course, is that there is not a single Russian-speaking employee, I had to use gestures and a translator on the phone. And so a very good hotel for outdoor activities.
Excellent location of the hotel-near the metro, bus and boat stations, many different shops. The hotel itself is not bad, but there is practically no reception, it was fenced off and a night disco was made there, which prevents the first floors from sleeping, we moved from the 2nd to the 5th in 2 days, so immediately ask for a higher floor.The food is for 4, but the borscht is cooked very tasty 5 +, usually the first dishes are not very good abroad, but here they were pleasantly surprised. I was pleased with the rooftop pool!
Basically, a normal hotel. But their desire to serve the guests personally annoyed us. At first, they called one transfer time to the beach, and suddenly in the early morning they call, wake up and inform that the car departs in 5 minutes. Then they took us personally later anyway, although we had already decided to take public transport to the beach. Then suddenly they called (three times!!! Different employees) to inform us that breakfast is ready, and this was the only day when we planned to sleep longer. Moreover, I turned off the phone in the room specifically so that they would not call again, but I did not take into account that there is also a phone in the bathroom, they got through there. And this obsession despite the fact that we even told them the schedule when and where we are going and when we do not plan to eat at the hotel. But when we asked to cook us lunch early, even a light snack, because we were leaving for another city, nothing was ready for our arrival, they start cooking or warming food strictly after the arrival of the guests at the restaurant. There is no buffet, but different versions of dishes and large portions are put on the table. In principle, if you do not take into account the misunderstanding that has arisen, a good budget hotel. I think we just didn't understand each other.
Convenient location, but the hotel is more like a brothel. There is no desire to stay there anymore. Wherever the Dubai authorities look!!! The impression of the whole city is spoiling.
