The staff at reception are kind, professional and helpful, in particular Fatiha, Esam and Faith. Itwould be nice to have detox water at the reception, as in Rove and Ibis three-star hôtels, as well as tissues, because it is blister ing hot and humidity outside.

Clean rooms and amazing location as it is right behind emirates mall! The road to the hotel is so packed during peak hours with heavy traffic. Breakfast was good and diverse

6/10

Reasonable for a one night stay. Staff was helpful. Rooms are somewhat small, and smell a bit. We arrived late after midnight and the Room wasn't ready. We had to wait for a while until the room is ready. I didn't like the idea of that extensive ID verification for every one staying, but it seems a common thing among hotels in the region.

他の方もご指摘の通り、シャワーの排水が悪く、弱い水圧にもかかわらず、トイレ、洗面エリアまで水浸しになります。 なぜここまで排水が悪いのかと気になり、排水溝を見たところ、謎の蓋が。 蓋を外すと気持ちよく流れました。 また4階のお部屋でしたが、夜中もクラクションが鳴り、騒音が気になりました。

Hotel located very close to the Mall of the Emirates (just across the road). Downside is traffic can be bad at peak times. Rooms on the small side, but adequate and very clean. Two bars onsite (one sports and one with live music) both reasonably priced (for Dubai). Hotel breakfast also reasonably priced (for Dubai) - but hot choices a little limited. Roof top pool nice size (15m) and very clean, only downside is limited sun bed space. Owing to Covid, only 12 at a time permitted in the pool area on sunbeds (with no more than 8 of those in pool).

Bel hotel propre avec un bon service. Bon rapport qualité/prix et très bien situé. MAIS exiger une chambre à l'avant, sinon achetez-vous des bouchons car très bruyant à l'arrière !

What is unique about this property is the location and sports bar. I didn't like the towels, they were too old, the room was tiny in conoarison to other rooms that seem more spacious, the bathroom was poorly installed and my safe didn't work. Honestly i am never going back after this second time.

Eu ja fiquei hospedada antes e esse hotel era melhor. Eu solicitava algo para recepção e eles nao realizavam, meu pacote era café da manha incluso, mas quando eu ia tomar cafe, eles diziam que nao era. Os funcionários nao eram muitos simpáticos. Chegavam gritando, me senti constrangida

The hotel is accessible via metro: you have to go through the Mall of Emirates to the entrance D (near the food court) and go straight through the car park, past the street at the traffic lights, turn left and now you've got only about 180 steps to the doorstep of the hotel. I met very positive people at the desk, I still think it is very important to respect each other. Before you start showering, do check if the shower tray drain is not covered (closed). Some could have heard / felt an annoying low frequency sound in the evenings probably originated from neighboring facility. If you visit Dubai as a tourist, it will not prevent you from sleep after long sightseeing... The safe is big and your notebook will fit it well. It is located over the fridge, which gives the result of somehow warming of objects inside it. Maybe the breakfast does not give a big choice of meals, you have to remember, though, that this is a 3, not 5 star hotel. Perhaps the immediate vicinity is not extremely distinguished, but you may find a number of restaurants / bars; the shopping centre with a hypermarket (its name started with the "L") is about 500m distance.
Look at the floor - another drain is covered
