Hello everyone.We are currently staying at the ibis hotel.
We really like everything.The rooms are not small.average, regular rooms.The most important thing is that everything is clean.the bed will be changed at least every day if you need it .we just put a sign on the door so that they don't clean it)) 4 bottles of water are brought to us every day.after the beach, we call the reception and ask for water and clean towels.Two minutes and you're done.we just take towels to the beach.
The breakfasts are great.The dinners are good too.not as plentiful as the breakfasts, but still good.it's bad that the transfer to the beach only goes on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.departure to kite beach at 12:00 from the hotel and 15:30 back.It's a very convenient time for us.since we like to sleep longer))) the area is good.mashrek metro station is exactly 5 minutes away and go wherever you want.there is a cool shopping center within walking distance.it is the second largest in Dubai.There are also 5 metro stations on the fountains in a straight line.it is convenient to get everywhere .
And most importantly! Ibis does not have a swimming pool and a gym, but it is in the novotel))) I just casually asked if I could use the gym.They told me a hundred times , of course ! No problem)))just tell me your room number))
I think it's cool! The hotel is three stars, but I would give it all 4
The lobby is very nice and cozy.
They wrote the truth about tea and coffee at dinner .for some reason they are not given at dinner.but they are in the room.so everything is fine.I wish you all a great holiday.Don't shave coming here.

An ordinary room, justifies its 3 stars. The bed is good, the mattress is firm. There is a refrigerator, a safe, a kettle. One socket is universal. Wifi catches perfectly! The breakfasts are delicious, there is enough food. There is a shuttle service to the free beach in the morning. The metro is a 12-minute walk away. Nearby there is a good and not expensive cafe, Tasty, in the next building to the hotel there is a cheap Indian store. I recommend it to those who are just going to spend the night, there are no questions or complaints here.

We had a rest in the middle of October . The hotel is located a 15-minute walk from the metro. There is a pharmacy and a market nearby. At 9 a.m. and back at 1 p.m., the bus took the Kite to the beach. It is necessary to register in a day . There were no problems with the seats .The reception staff understood Russian a little. We took breakfast - it was enough. The room has a kettle, safe, ironing board, iron, air conditioning, refrigerator. The bed and mattress are comfortable, the bed linen is clean. Cleaning is optional - leave a sign, then they will clean it. Swimsuits don't dry well. The windows don't open, but it's unnecessary, it's noisy and hot then. Of course, the rooms are already in need of repair. But if you just spend the night, it's fine.

A good hotel. The girls at the reception are very responsive, they will always help.
A pleasant lobby. Wi-Fi works perfectly both in the room and in the lobby. Our room
was normal, the only thing was very high pillows, it was not very
comfortable to sleep. The bed is soft, There are delicious pastries for breakfast, you can always ask
to make an omelette or scrambled eggs with tomatoes. One evening it was noisy in the room, from
a loud sound, probably from an institution nearby. The metro is a 7-minute walk away. In
general, I recommend it. The price-quality ratio is good.

I had a rest in May 2024
Positive:
The hotel is located in a good area
There is a free shuttle service to kite beach, Dubai's best clean beach, with white sand, clear water, and views of the sail and Burj Khalifa. If there are not enough seats, they send another bus
The staff is excellent, friendly, we were settled by a Russian-speaking girl Gohar
We only had breakfast, the food was delicious, varied
The beautiful lobby of the hotel
Mashrek metro station is nearby, when we rested, it was closed for repairs after the rains
Near the Mall of the Emirates, there is an excellent Carrefour supermarket, an exchange office with a favorable rate, etc.
The rooms were cleaned daily, water, tea, etc. were left
Minuses
Our room was a little tired, the walls were a little worn
The water was running badly in the sink
I know that this is a hotel concept, windows that don't open (their own ventilation), but for me it was a minus, I wanted fresh air and dry things (the room didn't dry very well)
But these disadvantages are insignificant, we only had breakfast and spent the night at the hotel) in general, I recommend the hotel

All that was great about this hotel was the food! Very decent, further on the cons: there is no swimming pool in the hotel. In the non-smoking room, when we arrived, there was a terrible smell (after cleaning, it was washed out for 3 days), the windows are closed and do not open. the most important thing:THEY STEAL THINGS CAREFULLY IN THIS HOTEL.I travel a lot, but this is the first time I've encountered this, the Arab Emirates is the most decent country in this regard, and this hotel (or rather the staff) is a disgrace! At first, my glasses were missing from my room (I took 3 pairs with me), I noticed the loss later when my nightgown disappeared after cleaning! It was a shock for me when I wanted to put on a nightgown at night, but it wasn't there. I went to the reception, the guy at the counter was talking in Russian, I told him the information about the loss: glasses and a nightgown, he immediately said that the glasses would not be found (a lot of time had passed) and tried to convince me that I had lost them. I am an honest person, I will not cheat, I do not need someone else's, I understand that people work for little money and I do not want to punish someone for no reason. But this is a fact of theft, the employee said that the problem would be solved. At 11 o'clock in the morning I went to the reception there was a girl (she spoke English) she was not even aware of my problem. I didn't like it.I asked to call the police , to which the girl told me to look at my things better, because the clinic staff does not take other people's things. Then my anger went beyond all bounds. I demanded to call the police because I looked at everything again before coming. The girl called someone, wrote, said she would try to figure it out. I went to my room and 10 minutes later I got a call saying that my nightgown had been found. I opened the door of the room and there was a girl and a cleaning employee with my nightgown. I apologized, they gave it back . No one has returned my glasses to me. It took more than one day after the loss of the nightgown, I had to sleep in my underwear, which was also not convenient! Therefore, I strongly do not recommend the hotel! Not in view of the safety of your belongings! If your choice is in favor of this hotel, take care of things that are valuable. My shirt and glasses were not cheap enough

I stayed for three nights. Among the advantages, excellent breakfasts, a large selection. The staff is helpful and interested in guests. The Wi-Fi in the room works great.
Cons, the hotel is very old, the kettle did not work, it was changed, it leaks. The watering can in the shower is leaking, it falls from the holder, it is impossible to close the door in the shower. The conditioner was working, but strangely. From the metro station to the hotel, it takes 15 minutes to walk either along the sand or along the highway, part along the sidewalk.

A very good hotel and if you do not smoke, ask for a non-smoking room) the first time we got into a room openly smoked and treated with flavors, it was hard to stay because everything is difficult with ventilation, the windows do not open - they changed us immediately and we got into excellent conditions. There are gels and towels in the bathroom. There is water in the refrigerator, convenient sockets suitable for European charging, a soft bed and good pillows. A convenient area and close to the waterfront. Nearby there is a great Hashtag establishment with a polite Ibrahim, who will make an excellent hookah and a meat kitchen inexpensive. A good place to stay inexpensively

I rested here for the second time, 5 years ago it was better. The room is shabby, there is mold in the toilet, sockets are falling out. At the dinner, they generally said that we should pay 49 dirhams for dinner for the second person, although a reservation for two people automatically assumes that both guests will eat, after the scandal they realized their mistake. For 5 days in a row, the bed linen was not changed, the toilet and sink were not cleaned, only the bed was made and towels were changed, this was the end of the service. They burst into the room without waiting for the door to open. The breakfasts are monotonous, the dinner is supposedly international cuisine, in fact all the dishes are full of various spices, it gets boring quickly.
There are big questions about the cleanliness of the rooms, the staff generally has a terrible rating, only polite and responsive people work in the bar

There is always a smell of humidity in the rooms (all winter things that were brought from Russia smelled of mold), the rooms are small, bad breakfasts from meat only paper hot sausages, breakfast vegetables (sour cucumber tomato, cabbage salad) rice, steamed potatoes.fruits are orange apples and watermelon. From what I took except juice and toast with jam, there was nothing delicious, the location from the metro is 15 minutes. I do not recommend this hotel because for this money you can rent a good hotel elsewhere. 3 times in the UAE and there is something to compare it with .
The furniture is all worn out, the cleaning is not done efficiently , vacuumed every other time .
2 times I asked to change the bed linen as it was all stained .
Towels may not be left at all , but call the reception and they will bring them.

I have been resting for one week since the beginning of February 2024. There are no questions for the staff: everyone is friendly, there are Russian-speaking administrators, they will always help with any questions.
10 minutes by metro (Mashreq station), it was very convenient to get where you need to go.
There is a transfer to the beach, but there was only 1 time, not mine)
The breakfasts are always the same, but I really liked the pastries))
The room is a separate problem. There is no way to choose a room, which will be given, and you live there. The windows do not open, there is no fresh air supply, the air conditioner does not save. There is a lot of mold in the bathroom, the shower stall door is difficult to close and open, the taps are literally rusted inside.
The TV doesn't have Internet, it doesn't matter, but I can't even watch YouTube, although maybe I got it that way.
The bed is comfortable, I slept great. But any sounds could be heard in the corridor, the audibility is very good.
I was satisfied with this hotel for the night and breakfast, but next time I will look for another one.

As of January 2024. The advantages are equidistance from the main places of interest, relatively close to the metro - about 1 km. There is a transfer to a nice beach. The food is simple and monotonous, but it is quite good. The global disadvantage is abnormally designed ventilation. The windows do not open, there is no exhaust ventilation, the air conditioner blows too hard at minimum fan speeds. In general, high humidity and stale air are provided. Getting sick is like having nothing to do. It's fine for the night, I don't recommend living for a few days.

Interiors in the style of the Ibis network. The rooms are cozy. From the metro 15 minutes on foot- not for long, but in the heat it can be uncomfortable to walk a little more than 1 km. Elevators always arrive quickly, you don't have to wait long. Breakfasts and dinners are monotonous, but you won't be hungry. Very tasty fish for dinner. Desserts may not be brought an hour before the end.
Now about the cons. When checking in, the nutrition information was incorrectly noted, which is why we had to prove that dinner was included in our accommodation. A cockroach was seen in the room 1 time, also in the eating area, too, 1 individual was sitting under the table. The room was not cleaned very well - yes, the bed linen was changed daily, but the shower was not cleaned at all. Towels were given like this - 1 common for the legs and 1 for two large bath! That's it! In the last day, they did not even come to us for cleaning, they did not bring a bottle of water (it is updated daily), and when the shower gel ran out 3 days before departure, they did not pour it to us, even though the empty container was put in a prominent place - the bottle was simply hung back empty (and so they did twice in a row).

The bed linen was changed every day, everything is snow-white. For breakfast, muesli, porridge, boiled eggs and six dishes to choose from their national cuisine. You should ask them to cook scrambled eggs or an omelet and they will bring it to you. The fruits for all 7 days were watermelon, melon, oranges. Dates of various varieties were given at dinner. Marshek metro station is a 15-minute walk away. There is a transfer from the hotel to the beach, although you need to sign up for it immediately upon arrival, there are a lot of people traveling.

Pros: a normal hotel, friendly staff, one girl even speaks good Russian, a safe in the room, the air conditioner remote is good, everything is fine with plumbing. At first they gave one set of towels, when they asked for more, they began to give two sets.
Cons: far from the metro - 1 km, and not everywhere along the way there are sidewalks; a cockroach was killed once in the corridor; the TV has no Internet access, and shows disgusting from the antenna; they forget to replenish water, they had to constantly kick - number 871 on the phone; the breakfasts are dull and the same every day, they were only delicious cheese and croissants, there was sometimes not enough staff in the dining room; the food in the bar and cafe is very expensive; you have to sign up for a shuttle to the beach a day or even two, which, however, is not terrible, since the Kite beach to which he carries is completely unequipped - you can't even wash your feet - and we didn't go there after one time; but we went to the JBR - 3 dirhams beach by metro and tram in one direction; and they didn't give us an adapter for an outlet yet, they said - go to the next store, buy it, - I had to buy it for 10 dirhams.

The rooms are standard for three stars. The windows don't open, and they also overlook the neighboring hotel, literally 'window to window'. But then we realized the advantages of this. There is a very busy highway and metro near the hotel. The noise is very strong. With the windows tightly closed, you can hardly hear him. The rooms were cleaned every day. But we, like many who stayed at this hotel, were not replenished with shower gel in the end. The breakfasts are good, monotonous, but we haven't had enough in 9 days. The big disadvantage of the hotel is the transfer to the sea. You need to sign up for it 3 days in advance. And if you make it, the bus is small, so everyone who could and who signed up and who didn't broke into it with a fight. Therefore, there were not enough places for many. Then they let in another one. It is very long and far to get to the beach on your own. The hotel is located within walking distance from the metro, so you can see many of Dubai's attractions on your own without booking excursions.

We lived in April 2024. The rooms are renovated old and not of high quality. Toothbrushes and toothpaste should be requested. There are no shampoos in the room either. You have to ask, and maybe for a fee.
Water and tea bags with sugar are brought to the room every day. They clean and make the bed, change towels (two large and one small for 2 people) every day.
It takes 20-25 minutes to walk to the metro and transport stops in the sun, in places along the roadway, since sidewalks have not yet been built everywhere (in a year good sidewalks will be completed).
We only had breakfast, as we left the hotel at 8.30 and arrived at 23.30. The food is mostly Indian: beans, chickpeas in various sauces. There is no meat at all! Just sausages. Of protein foods, only boiled and fried eggs. Eggs are fried in the courtyard. You choose the additives yourself (onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, sweet or spicy peppers, cheese) and tell how to cook. If you don't tell me how to cook, it will be a dry egg cake. It tastes better if you ask to cook a scramble. There are pasta, baked potatoes, sometimes pickles, But there are always fresh vegetables (cucumbers, tomatoes, salad leaves), fruits (oranges, melons, watermelon), salted olives, cucumbers, eggplants. The mash is deliciously cooked (crumbly with vegetables). There are pancakes with different sauces. Very tasty yogurt with granola. Delicious warm rolls (croissants, envelopes, pies) made of puff pastry. Drinks: different coffee from the coffee machine, apple and orange juices, mint juice with cucumber, milk. Oatmeal porridge is very thin and not tasty.
It takes 1 hour to get to the beach by public transport from the hotel, 1 hour 30 minutes - 2 hours to the sights. There is a transfer to the beach from the hotel, but you need to make an appointment in advance, this morning for tomorrow morning, and then the bus may already be fully occupied! If you take a hotel within walking distance from the beach, you will save at least 2 hours of time every day!
It is better to take a taxi on the road a little away from the hotel, and not at the entrance to the hotel, it will be cheaper. Taxi drivers who stand outside the hotel often cheat. For example, I said that we should go to Al Maktoum airport, he replied 100 dirhams, I said that we would go for 70 dirhams, he said OK and loaded our suitcases, let's go. But on the way, he started asking which airport terminal and pretended like he didn't understand that he needed to go to Al Maktoum, saying he thought it was to Dubai airport, and this is closer than Al Maktoum. Al Maktoum will be more expensive. He even asked me to look at the tickets. In general, upon arrival at the airport, Al Maktoum printed us a check for 236 dirhams! I told him that I couldn't pay more than 100 dirhams, no more! This is already more than the 70 dirhams that we agreed on! He indignantly explained that he would have to pay the rest out of his own pocket, but I submitted 100 dirhams and made it clear that he would not receive more! I reasoned that even if he called the police, I would stand by my "contract is a contract", besides 70-100 dirhams at local rates is a good price for such a trip.
In general, he took 100 dirhams and silently took our suitcases out of the trunk. I didn't even thank him. I think he was trying to get more money out of us in this way.
In general, we left Dubai with the unpleasant feeling that they are trying to find you at every step, at the market, in a taxi, on excursions (all goods are 10 times more expensive)... All the good impressions were overshadowed by this feeling!
In general, if you spend only morning and night at the hotel, and are ready to suffer inconveniences (far from transport stops, long commute, poor repair, small bathroom), then you can live in this hotel. There is no Russian-speaking staff at the hotel.

The service is excellent, they will always help with any question. The menu is decent and not expensive, you can choose what you like. We booked with breakfast, there is plenty of choice, you can overeat for the whole day ahead.

Cheap, minimalistic, the main thing is not to inflate expectations.
+ Buffet, delicious croissants and a good omelet for breakfast. Coffee machine.
- From meat - only sausages and sausage; for lunch and dinner you can't skip.
- There are no coolers, bottled water in the rooms.
+ You can ask for more bottles for free, there is a kettle and tea.
- There are two towels, gel and soap (liquid) for the room. The room is small.
+ Everything is clean and decent, there is a TV and a table. The conder is working fine.
- The beach is 5 km away - you can only cross the highway via the metro. There is a transfer, but I haven't tried it.
