I had a really pleasant stay here for two nights as a solo traveller. The hotel is located a 10 minute walk away from the ACDB Metro station from where you can easily get to the Museum of the Future [3 stops], Financial Centre [4 stops] and the Burj Khailfa & Dubai Mall [5 stops] for only 6DHS one way or 20 DHS for a 24hr ticket. The Dubai Creek/Bur Dubai area with the Al Seef Heritage Village, Gold and Spice Souks is less than 10 minutes away in a taxi.
The hotel has a nice modern vibe and my room was spotlessly clean and tidy with all the facilities you’d expect. One facility the hotel doesn’t have though is a bar. However, as stated above, the Financial Centre with its numerous bars and lounges is only a 10 minute metro ride away, which I didn’t mind at all.
There are two pools. A quieter one on the Mezzanine Level staffed by the friendly Padam [who was always happy to have a chat and was a genuinely nice guy] and another on the 19th floor with a ‘mocktail’ bar and wonderful views down Sheikh Zayed Road towards the Burj Khalifa. The buffet breakfast was great but there are also numerous dining options surrounding the hotel, the Burjuman Shopping Centre & Food Court over the road, and a large supermarket adjacent.
Ahmed on Reception also deserves a mention for delivering a hassle-free early check-in and a late check-out. Thank you. As I was leaving on a late night flight, it was also helpful to have access to the spa facilities to freshen up for my journey home.
