Oh, this is a great hotel! The location is very convenient. The rooms are always clean, cool, and there are rooms for smokers. There is a swimming pool on the top floor. The food is very satisfying and delicious! The staff is attentive and courteous. I heartily recommend it!
There is a large mall nearby, literally across the street, and there is a metro station on the second floor. In the Footcord Mall, restaurants, a bar in the form of h&m, and many other shops are prohibited. Without going into the pier, there is an alcohol market for MMA tourists.
Through the parking lot, without entering the mall on the left side. There are many alleys with local food near the hotel. It is located in a very convenient location. The hotel has internet access, and so do the rooms. There is a hairdryer, safe, TV, comfortable mattress, pillows, cleaning on request at least twice a day. There's gel and soap in the bathroom. Take brushes and paste with you, and he doesn't have slippers with a bathrobe either, but it's nothing at all. We were satisfied. We will return there if we are lucky enough to visit Dubai again.

We liked the hotel, there is a large Mall of Emirates and the metro in a couple of minutes. The staff is friendly, always trying to help. The room was given on the 9th floor, a view of the buildings and the Burj Khalifa is slightly visible. In general, it's not bad, it's good that it's not for some kind of construction site) there are also many cafes nearby where you can eat for 100 dirhams and still have a lot left. The portions here are huge! So it's better to take less than to collect everything and not eat it. The room has a modern TV with YouTube, which is also convenient. The hotel is clean, the rooms are fresh. But personally, we have a problem with the shower, we need to adjust literally by millimeters so that the water is more comfortable. A little more or less, the water flows either icy or hot. Maybe we are so "lucky", but we are not picky, we did not change the number. There is a swimming pool at the top of the hotel, towels are provided. There is a coffee shop and a shuttle service to the hotel, but it runs only in the morning. Basically, there is a bus stop nearby, so you can get to the beach and back on your own.

Very convenient location, within walking distance of the metro, shopping center, cafes, shops. The room is standard (there is a kettle, tea-coffee-water, hairdryer, liquid soap, shampoo- shower gel), cleaned daily and towels were changed. The staff is friendly. The food was quite varied, a buffet breakfast was included, you can choose for every taste, and even at the end of breakfast there was no shortage of dishes, replenished and asked if it was already possible to clean. It was possible to have lunch or dinner for a fee. In addition to the buffet, the hotel has a cafe.The pool is warm, shallow, and small, and there have always been sun beds and canvases. I couldn't use the transfer to the beach, because I had to make an appointment in advance and there were many people who wanted to. The impression is good. The only thing is, there are no towel rails to dry the swimsuits (and there was a room without a balcony), because we had an excursion program, there were no problems.

We checked into the hotel on October 17th. I am very glad that I chose this hotel, as there were several options. Firstly, the location is very cool, near the Mall of the Emirates and the metro. You can easily get to Downtown and Marina. Secondly, the friendly, friendly staff. I really liked the service. We checked in an hour earlier, for which I was grateful, because I wanted to take a shower after the trip. Delicious food, perhaps monotonous in places, but you will not stay hungry, they always add. The room is clean, tidy, clean, leave water, tea, coffee, sugar. After checking in, they called and found out how to give me the number. The floor was 10, with a view of the Parus hotel from the room. On the last day, when the room was rented, they were allowed to spend time by the pool before the transfer. And in the end, I was able to get hot water into thermos cups for free. I was very pleased with that. In general, I recommend it, do not hesitate. I would love to come back again 🥰

The hotel is well located, near the metro,bus stops, shopping center,cafe, exchange office. The sea is not far from 15 minutes by bus number 81 to Kite Beach. The hotel is clean, the staff is friendly, the rooms are nice, well maintained. We had a non-smoking room (609). Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel and in the rooms. They don't take a deposit, but now there's a lot of tourist cash that doesn't come back. We paid 80AED for 8 nights. The food is good, everything is fresh, fish, beef, chicken every day. The fruits were melon, watermelon, orange, pineapple. There are also a lot of pastries at breakfast. The rooms were cleaned every day, and the water was replenished every day without additional charges.

The location of the hotel is very good, close to everything you need, the Emirates Mall has access to the subway and you can go to the Dubai Mall, which is quite close to the Dubai Marina. Behind the mall there are bus stops from where you can go to Global Village, Jumeirah beach, kite. In terms of nutrition, I sometimes didn't have enough scrambled eggs and cheese with sausage for sandwiches for breakfast, but there was something like that, but very little and I mostly didn't have time because I probably came too late. I can't say anything bad about the reception staff at all. The translator opened Google and asked who, and they will also tell you and answer you, and it's all over the city, so no one said I don't understand or something like that. Cleaning was carried out every day, so I didn't even have to talk about it to clean the room. The only thing that wasn't particularly in the room was the shower room, where the glass wall is only half full of water spilling towards the washbasin and by the way, at night if you are on the lower floors, you may wake up to music from the club in the hotel building

A good hotel for your money. The main advantage is close to the Mall of the Emirates. The metro is also nearby. You can go through the Mall, or you can go through the street. In the hotel, in the room, there is, in principle, everything you need. Water, tea bags, instant coffee bags and sugar are added every day. There are two glasses and a kettle. There is a refrigerator, but it cools slightly. There are not enough toothbrush cups in the bathroom and shelves in the shower stall to put something. Because there's a bottle of gel in the shower and a bottle of soap by the sink. There are no bags of shampoo and gel. A hair dryer is present. Towels for number three - one large and one for the legs. The food is normal. There is always one porridge for breakfast - milk oatmeal. But there are yogurts, cereals, eggs and much more. There is not much variety, but there is enough food. Delicious croissants and coffee. There are also tea bags and drinks for breakfast. But for lunch and dinner there is only water. The soup is delicious, always the same kind, but different. Meat is either beef or chicken. There is always fish. Vegetables, herbs, olives, hummus. The staff is friendly, there are no Russian speakers. The area is mostly inhabited by Hindus. There are a lot of cafes around, completely different. And small shops. There is a cheap food and souvenir shop nearby Day to day. I would probably come to this hotel again.

Located very close to the metro, you need to exit Dubai mall, then through the shopping center exit to parking lot D, to the right of the exit to the parking lot there is immediately an alcohol store, cross the parking lot directly and there is a hotel across the street. The rooms are compact, a threesome with a child will be cramped in the standard, take a family room. The breakfasts are excellent, everything is there, there are many different inexpensive cafes nearby. If you leave the hotel and go to the right, there will be the most profitable exchanger, there is also a supermarket across the street. The place is great primarily for its location, you can walk to Madinat Jumeirah, and there is a bus to the flower garden from the Dubai Mall metro station. There is a ski complex in the mall itself, penguins are sometimes brought out there, and if you are with a child, be sure to go and see. There is a pool with warm water on the roof of the hotel. In the room: kettle, cups, refrigerator, liquid soap at the sink and in the shower. hair dryer, towels. There is nothing else. Water is supplied for free, cleaning is done every day

We were satisfied. The air conditioner works well. Cleaning every day. Tea, coffee, cream in the room. The staff is very friendly. The pool is on the roof. It works from 8 to 20. A shuttle bus departs from the hotel to the city beach on the Persian Gulf. You only need to make an appointment at the reception. Administrators do not know Russian. Basic English would be great for tourists. But sign language helped. And there is also an application with transcription of English words and the problem is solved. The young man who sells toilet water at the hotel is very charming, will make a good discount, just bargain). If you need to call a taxi, contact the administrators. They'll call the city. It is 2.5 times cheaper than private traders. If you bought a ticket with breakfast and dinner and you think that you will not have time for dinner, and you are at the hotel for lunch, then you simply change it in the dining room at the reception. If you just want to buy lunch / dinner / breakfast 1.5 thousand rubles. There is a bus stop near the hotel. 10 minutes away, rounding the Dubai Emirates shopping center, there is an air-conditioned stop, from which there is a direct bus without stopping to the Flower Park. Dubai Emirates Shopping Center has everything!!!! It's huge. There are food courts on the ground floor. Or you can buy ready-made food, saving a lot. There is also an exchange in the metro shopping center. Do not forget to take a foreign currency exchange card. The location of the hotel is very convenient. Stops, metro, shopping center, city beach are all close. And we were the first to be brought from the airport. Everything is great!

Excellent location, across the street from the shopping center, where you can take the subway. It's a long walk to the sea, we didn't use the transfer from the hotel. The food was good, there was a variety of juice, coffee, tea, and a buffet for breakfast. For dinner, drinks include only water, and there is also a buffet. The Internet was working well, the smart TV. Cleaning every day, brought 2 bottles of water, tea, coffee. The hotel itself is tired already, the renovation is too old. But clean. We only spent the night there. There is a swimming pool on the roof, which was open every day until 20:00. Round-the-clock exercise equipment

The hotel is very conveniently located, with a number of retail outlets and a large mall 600m from the hotel.But the big disadvantage is that it's far from the beach, there's a bus that needs to be booked, we haven't been able to get on it more than once and took a taxi with a blue roof to the Aqua Park, and then the hotel is clean on foot.plumbing, linen, white heated pool, water was +31 in December. Our window faced the roadway, and although it was closed, we slept like on the street, 100% audibility, and lived on the 1st floor.We didn't eat at the hotel.There are many food outlets, but mostly hamburgers and French fries.And it got pretty boring in 9 days.And so, of course, Dubai is a fairy tale, we've been to a lot of places, shopped, poked around.The weather was comfortable on 22-27, and I want to go there again in the second half of December.

Cool hotel, cozy, clean. There is no private territory, Parking nearby and access to the bus stop directly from the lobby. There is a shuttle bus to the beach by appointment, its own restaurant and cafe, a rooftop pool, gym, laundry, and a souvenir shop with a perfume shop, a guide desk. 10 floors , 3 elevators. Daily cleaning, there was shower gel and liquid soap in the shower. There was a hygienic shower, and there was also a sprinkler in the shower with small holes the size of a needle's eye, obviously to save water. Turning off the shower, you could refresh yourself with this fine-grained irrigation for another 10 seconds.

Location -bus stop 3 minutes walk. The metro station is 10 minutes away via the shopping center. It is convenient to get anywhere from the hotel.
Meals : meager breakfasts, better dinners. Chicken, meat, sometimes fish. Dates, various nuts.
Staff: polite, they respond to any questions and requests immediately.
There was a pleasant surprise in the room on my birthday.
We lived on the 8th floor , room 826 . We didn't hear any neighbors, or any sound from the bar. It was quiet

Today 16.10.24 we are at the hotel. Overall not bad:great location. Metro 5 min. Cleaning every day. There was no toothpaste, brush or iron in the room. They asked for it and brought it in 5 minutes. Well done!!! The breakfasts are excellent (vegetables, fruits, porridge, sausage, several types of cheese, eggs, sausages, coffee, juices In general, the choice is decent. Dinners are not very good)) fish, chicken, vegetables, rice, only water from drinks- I do not recommend it. We changed dinner for lunch. The lunches are very good (fish, meat, pasta, fruits), the choice is much more than for dinner.Transfer to the beach 3 times a day, but you need to make an appointment in advance at 5-6 am the next day. There are no problems in principle. Get up and sign up in the morning. They take a kite to the beach.. Near the rarus . The beach is clean, there are not many people. We went to the Marina beach ourselves.. The water is too hot, the people are in darkness.. There is a night beach on the kite beach.. You can swim super all night. There is lighting. We took a taxi 40 dirhams in 1 direction. The hotel has good wifi everywhere. The rooftop pool is cool. Towels are provided. We lived on the 14th floor of room 1414. The view from the window is very beautiful. There is no Russian staff. We communicated through a translator without any problems . We arrived in the evening, we were already late for dinner. I asked the receptionist about dinner. They offered to choose something from the cafe.. Thanks for that. There is practically no one in the hotel with children. In general, I recommend the hotel for a holiday. Cleanly, well done!!!

This is a very good hotel, for 3 stars it is generally excellent. I lowered the rating, as there are quite significant disadvantages that need to be taken into account.
In general, the advantages of "+":
1. The rooms are clean, fresh, modern, new furniture. The rooms have a kettle with packaged coffee and tea, bottled drinking water. There are a lot of hangers in the closet.
2. The service is at a high level, the staff is incredibly polite and helpful. Cleaning is done daily, towels are changed without question and even given extra if you use them for trips to the beach.
They gave me a free check-out at 14.00 instead of 12.00, they also checked in before the deadline, no questions asked.
*There are no Russian-speaking staff.
3. The location is good, near the metro, Mall of the Emirates and a bunch of cafes and shops.
4. The food is fresh, but not the most diverse, still 3 stars, but there was always some kind of white fish, meat mainly in the form of minced meat in pasta, breaded chicken or vegetable stews, good sweets, fruits: melon, watermelon, oranges, grapes. There were dishes of national cuisine that are very much for an amateur, but if you like it, then your diet will be much more diverse than mine) There are a lot of vegetables, salads, cheeses, olives, sausage, everything was. For breakfast: porridge, cereals, omelette, sausages, boiled eggs, pastries.
5. The pool is on the roof, there are always places on sun loungers, towels are provided there.
6. Sockets are suitable for our devices, adapters and adapters are not needed.
Now about the cons of "-".
1. Small buses (shuttles) go to the beach at 8.10, 9.10 and 10.10, back at 12.00, 13.00 and 14.00. You can sign up only at 6.00 am the previous day. At the same time, if you arrive exactly at 6.00 or even at 5.45, you will not have time, the queue is going from 5.30. At the same time, breakfast starts only at 6.30, that is, you need to spend half an hour somewhere else.
! You can approach the shuttle driver and ask for free side folding seats, there is no record on them.
You can also get to Kite Beach by taxi, but it's not as cheap as the guide will tell you, so put trips to the beach in the expense item. City buses also go to the beaches, not only to Kite Beach, but also to JBR, but there are more people there, and people like it less.
2. The beach is purely urban, there is no dedicated area from the hotel, so no sun loungers and umbrellas are provided. In general, I recommend walking 10 minutes to the right from the drop-off point from the shuttle, there are much fewer people near the Tent Jumeirah Restaurant, and it is very pleasant to swim. There are showers and changing rooms.
3. For lunch and dinner, drinks include only water and lemonade, tea and coffee for an additional fee - 15 dirhams. This is not very convenient if you want dessert for dinner. For breakfast, tea bags, coffee in thermoses are also the cheapest and tasteless, alas.
4. There is a very short partition in the bathroom, for those who like to splash, slippers float away in the first 5 minutes of taking a shower. And there are some problems with setting the water temperature: either boiling water or icy rain, it takes several minutes to set up the shower.
5. The water in the pool is always cold.
6. There is nowhere to dry things: there are no folding dryers, no ropes, no balconies.
Conclusion. The overall impression of the hotel is generally favorable, but still the main thing is - a high level of staff training, fresh food and cleanliness in the rooms + a good location.
Recommendations:
1. Currency exchange: the exchange rate at the hotel is unfavorable, I changed $ 100, received 340 dirhams. It is better to change in the Mall of the Emirates, they gave 362 dirhams there. I changed money in the exchanger opposite Carrefour (supermarket on level G, as soon as you pass the parking lot, immediately turn left if you go from the hotel).
2. Additional hangers do not need to be taken, there are plenty of them, oddly enough. But a manual steamer does not hurt, there is no iron in the room, there is no ironing room, as in Ibis, for example, they bring an iron on request, which is not always convenient, especially at night.
3. If you want fast food: at the food court in the Mall of the Emirates in Burger King, the food is juicier and tastier than in the Poppy. If you go to the right from the hotel, there is a decent shawarma, everything is very fresh and inexpensive.
4. If you need some small things like a suitcase cover, also to the right from the hotel, the prices in the Day to Day store are 2-3 times cheaper than in the mall.

There are a lot of Pakistanis, Chinese , and Blacks who work here . Everyone speaks only English at the reception and in such Thai English.

Honest three stars!!! There are many shops nearby and a huge shopping mall!!! They feed you three times. The food doesn't change, but it's delicious, and it's almost always the same. For dinner, the drinks are only water. The window in the room is polluted with birds. The refrigerator in the room did not work, although they talked about this problem 2 times at the reception. The air conditioner is super, it freezes like a real one!!!!
They clean consistently well, change the bed every other day. In general, it's a good hotel, the bed is comfortable and level.

The hotel is nice, the rooms are usually like in chain hotels. Very comfortable mattresses and pillows. They clean every day, add two bottles of water every day. Excellent breakfasts, not much changed every day, but since the selection is large in just five days, we didn't get bored. Good location of the hotel. It is convenient to get in any direction. There is a shuttle service to the beach, but we did not use it, we took the subway, but we could also take the bus, because of the traffic jams we did not risk it. There are two day to day shops nearby, be sure to visit, there is something to choose from. The staff was very pleasant, responsive, and the attitude of the customers was excellent.

The location of the hotel is just great. All types of transport run from the Mall of Emirates, and it is 3 minutes from the hotel. The rooms are cleaned daily, there are rooms for smokers, the windows are open, there is a conder and a fan mode. Tea, coffee, cream, and water are replenished daily. The room is quite spacious for the room, the refrigerator is small and not completely cold, I got ice from the store (daily). You can set up your YouTube account on the cart, and go ahead. There is a good gym, and a heated swimming pool. There is a beach-hotel-beach transfer. I didn't take any food, there are enough food courts around for every taste and budget. Prices in Dubai are very high, for everything. Take sunscreens and all cosmetics with you. If you need anything small, run Day to day, it's a 9-minute walk away. I will return to this hotel 100%

We stayed at this hotel a week ago. We were satisfied. Attentive and helpful staff, the rooms are perfectly tidy. The breakfasts were modest, but they didn't stay golden.The hotel has a great location, the Emirates mall is across the street, there are many different restaurants and cafes around, a great opportunity to try the "cuisines of the peoples of the world".A bus takes you to the beach, exactly on schedule, 3 times a day, and by the way, never once

Great hotel. The staff is very friendly, they do everything for a comfortable stay, they are friendly, they solve any issue here and now, and not sometime later. It's trite, our cards don't work, they just gave us free water because we couldn't buy it at the vending machine (it's next to the reception). To put it bluntly, the breakfasts are monotonous, just the same every day, at most something new, this is a mini disadvantage. They clean it every day! The location is perfect, next to a huge Mall for any budget from premium stores to very inexpensive ones. There's a subway in the same mall, there's a bus stop nearby, get wherever you want. There is also a great shop nearby with minimal prices for things and trinkets, you can buy Dubai chocolate cheaper than everywhere else and all sorts of trinkets for a gift 2-3 times cheaper than on tour.zones. On the downside, the tour announced a transfer to the beach, but at 8 a.m. everything is already occupied and there is only one bus with 40 seats for the entire hotel ... consider that there is none ... but it's a penny, 3.5 dirhams is worth the trip, but to the beach that you want. In general, we received a lot of positive emotions, I would have returned to this hotel with pleasure!

A good location in the city , near the metro and bus station , bus stops , including to various beaches , a fat minus that there are 4 flights of small buses from the hotel and it is impossible to get on them, recording at 5 a.m. for a flight a day later, I had to take city buses. The hotel has good breakfasts and normal dinners , the price is 59 dirhams , but there are promotions for 45 dirhams , the staff is very polite and diligent, they always try to help, I was also surprised how many staff in all positions , this is a big plus.
The rooms are small, very narrow beds, but awesome mattresses and pillows and generally snow-white linen, a fat minus for giving only 1 large towel and 1 for legs and that's it!!! Wipe your hands and face with toilet paper , it is also a minus that only a dispenser with one 10 in 1 composition is made of soap and soap . I liked the pool, although small, but neat, clean, the water is warm, the sun beds are comfortable, towels are given as much as you want, views from a height of all the sights, a Sailboat, Burj Khalifa, Atlantis, Madinat)))
I recommend the hotel, near the best shopping center, everything is convenient

The hotel is nice. Breakfast was included in the price. There are plenty to choose from and everything is quite tasty. The lobby is clean and comfortable. Room cleaning daily. There is a swimming pool. Shops are within walking distance. A small stop with an elevator for 2 days, you get used to the algarithm. It justifies its cost. I recommend.

Great location. The Emirates Metro and Mall are a 5-minute walk away, literally the entrance to the Mall is across the street. There are various cafes around, and more supermarkets like karefor or lulu.
The beach is 30 minutes away by 81 bus, runs every 20 minutes. But there is also a free shuttle service from the hotel.
We only had breakfast, in general it's fine, it's fine for 3 stars.
On the downside, you can hear music from the bar on the lower floors until 2 a.m. It's better to take a higher floor. If it wasn't for that, it would be perfect.

The area is not so ideal in terms of cleanliness. But in terms of price and location it is very good. For a budget holiday, that's the thing.

Everything is great. The hotel firmly holds its three stars. Don't expect more from three stars and don't look for flaws, and everything will be FINE. We had a rest in early February. There were a lot of people, but despite this, we were checked in at 12:30, for which thanks to the managers at the reception. We were given a great room on the 13th floor with a view of the Burj Khalifa. The room was clean and tidy, the room was cleaned daily, we took breakfast and alternated lunch with dinner. The hotel is located 5 minutes walking distance from the Emirate Mall. The metro is close, 10 minutes on foot, which gives you a great opportunity to move around on your own and save on buying tours. There is a transfer to the beach. There is no Russian-speaking staff, please learn English, gentlemen! We liked everything! We recommend the hotel!

We stayed in this hotel from 31.01 to 06.02. We had a vacation with my mom. The hotel is excellent for its price and for its stardom. You can choose which beds you want in the room or, for example, a smoking/non-smoking room. The hotel was completely full! We checked in at 12, and we had to stand in line for check-in (if you check in before 2 p.m., you can leave your things under supervision for free and go for a walk nearby at MallofEmirates).
The staff is very friendly and always tries to help. If you do not know English, then all questions can be solved with the help of an interpreter.
Wi-Fi is available and works fast.
We only took breakfasts, we liked them 10 out of 10. Lots of vegetables, fruits, pancakes, croissants, eggs, beans, rice, sausages and sausages, coffee. We never went hungry (but preferably come before 9 a.m. for breakfast to avoid crowding)
The rooms have a kettle, coffee, tea, sugar, and a refrigerator. Large mirrors, towels, hair dryer. Everything is as it should be!
The location is perfect. Mallofthe Emirates is just 5 minutes away and there is a subway passage through this shopping center. There is a bus stop nearby, we took it to Kite Beach (we drove for about 35 minutes + waited for the bus for about 25 minutes).
Nearby are Lulu shops (a budget supermarket chain where we shopped), Carfoursa and 2 Day to Day shops (I highly recommend going there!!, they are 10 minutes from the hotel, 50 meters from each other, in one store there are groceries and souvenirs, and in the other there are clothes, you can buy gifts!).
It takes about 19 minutes by metro to Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall.
There is a swimming pool on the roof (towels are provided there, heated water) and a gym, everything is included in the room rate. And also a great view of Dubai and the Burj Al Arab.
Upon checking out of the hotel, they also left their belongings at the reception and went for a walk, as the transfer was only in the evening.
In the end, I recommend it, and I will be happy to return to this hotel again in the future.

A great hotel with a great location! This is the second time I've stayed, and I know I'll come here again next time.
They only took breakfasts for meals, as they went for walks in Dubai or on excursions all day. We returned late and did not want to adjust to the paid dinners at the hotel.
The rooms are standard, as in all hotels. Everything was working for us: refrigerator, kettle, hairdryer, air conditioning. I asked for an iron in the room - they brought it and took it away (for free) without any problems.
Great guys at the reception. Any request was always answered without any questions. We were checked in an hour earlier when the rooms were ready on the floor that was requested with a view of the Sail. By the way, you can see the Sail from the roof of the hotel in any weather - it is relatively close and in good weather you can clearly see the Burj Khalifa.
The breakfasts are rich and satisfying. From 7:30 to 10:30. They never went hungry, no matter what time they came to eat.
Fruits include watermelons, melons, oranges.
There are always eggs, omelets, sausages, baked tomatoes, champignons, beans, rice. Yoghurts, oatmeal. From vegetables - cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, lettuce, arugula, 2 types of cheese, sliced local ham, olives, olives.
Drinks include tea, coffee, 3 juices and sassi water (cucumber with lemon).
Awesome pastries. Croissants are a separate love. There are also cupcakes and toasts. Of course, butter, jams and honey were also portioned. You can't take anything with you: they watch and make a remark about it, and ask you to put it back if you take something from the table into a bag or take it out in your hands on the way out.
Room cleaning is daily. If you need to replace the towels, then the dirty ones should be thrown into the bathroom itself. There's an information sign in the bathroom about this, but as it turned out, not everyone was aware of it. 2 0.5 bottles of water are brought to the room every day. Also tea, coffee, sugar, dry cream.
Soap and 2in1: gel/shampoo are available in the room upon check-in.
There is a swimming pool on the roof of the hotel. When fully loaded, there are always a lot of people, all the sun beds are always occupied. But you can always swim and swim. Towels are provided in the same place.
They take you to the beach 3 times a day, and they pick you up the same way. You need to register for the day in the morning, at 8.
The Emirates Mall is located opposite the hotel. If you walk through the entire mall, then exit at the metro station of the same name. From here it is very close to Dubai Mall, Dubai Marina and Burj Khalifa: from 2 to 4 stops.
There are also bus stops in various directions near the Emirates Mall. We took direct buses from there to Global Village and Flower Park. The money came out to ~ 10-12 dirhams per person.
There are a lot of different shops around the hotel, several pharmacies, and many eateries. We took shavukha, fried rice with vegetables, burgers with fries - everything is quite edible, just ask not to make it spicy (spicy notes)
Basically, all the products were bought at the Lulu shopping center. It's on the next street from the hotel, an 8-minute walk. That's where they changed money on the ground floor to the right of the main entrance for small expenses.
Most often, they were paid by card (convenient and a good conversion rate: alfa Bank visa). When exchanging cash, keep in mind that they will charge a commission of 3.26 dirhams. The amount does not matter - the commission is fixed for the exchange of $ 20 and $ 500.
I advise you to calculate what amounts you need in cash and change the required amount once. I changed at the rate of 3.65. Lulu shopping center is open from 8 to 24 (exchangers are also available).
Another interesting feature: the mall sells fresh fish, shrimp, etc. Choose, for example, shrimp (weight is not important), they can immediately be washed, cleaned and cooked in front of you. You will pay 12.99 dirhams for cooking (I repeat, the weight is not taken into account).
We always took grilled shrimp. I recommend.
Fruits and vegetables at affordable prices: peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers: 4-5 dirhams per 1 kg. We took 250 g strawberries for 6 dirhams. We took pineapples daily: they also clean it in front of you, cut off all the tops, cut off the peel completely, give it a taste, specify how to cut it and you pay only for the net weight! I asked the employee to choose a pineapple. I've never refused. If the pineapple is sour, then set aside and cut a new one without any problems. It's the same with watermelons, mangoes and other exotic fruits))
Lulu also has a perfume outlet on the second floor. Test the smell #5. Definitely a fragrance that has captivated many. I'm delighted with everyone I brought it to as a gift. If you buy with cash, you can bargain very well. We bought 4 bottles for 150 dirhams.
Generally, as for bidding. You can safely bargain in all the nearby shops. They themselves start the dialogue by giving you a discount. As a rule, it is cheaper from the price of 50 dirhams. For example: a three-piece tracksuit was bought for 140 dirhams (starting price 250), sneakers - 150 (starting price 320).
There is a cheap Day tu Day shop next to the hotel. Exit the hotel - to the right of the main entrance and houses 10 in a straight line. There are 2 shops nearby. One of them contains things, bags and shoes. In the second - cosmetics, food, souvenirs, household goods.
Prices range from 2 to 20 dirhams. There's a lot of nonsense, but if you want, you can find the right little things for a little money.
There is a Brands of Lace store behind Lulu Shopping Center (stock clothing of famous brands). There are a lot of stores in this chain, but according to reviews, this store is one of the best in terms of assortment. Indeed, we packed up everything we wanted there). Of course, we spent a lot of time, but we found a lot of good things at bargain prices. Perhaps someone does not know, but for checks starting from 250 dirhams, you can apply for taxi fares at the airport. Valid for the purchase of goods that you export: clothes, shoes, appliances. To do this, you need to tell the store about it at the checkout: present your passport, they enter the data and issue a second receipt. At the airport, before check-in (check with the guide, different departure areas), go to the black and white counters, there are girls near the monitors who quickly help to arrange everything. In fact, you only enter your passport number and card number. All data on the required refund amounts is already available. The money was credited to my currency card on the second day. It seems like a small thing, but $ 30 came back - nice)
On tour and on excursions - I advise you to watch the Touristino. They definitely have a lot of good offers.
When you subscribe to Instagram, you get another 5% discount on certain excursions. There are tours that include meals: We've had enough. Money savings of almost 100 dirhams.
It makes sense to take tickets to the park from them, where there is no transfer and you get there yourself. Prices will be 5-10 dirhams cheaper than at the checkout. I contacted the guys a week before the trip, agreed on the excursions I needed - the agent came to my hotel. We paid him in cash (you can transfer money by card), all tickets are sent by mail.
The guides who meet you have higher prices for excursions. Our guide said a lot of unflattering words about turistino and all the other organizers) It's clear that selling excursions is a big part of her business, but I don't like intrusively aggressive service when they try to humiliate competitors.
I have no questions for the guys from Turistino. We also had after-sales service: we went to Yas Island 3 days after buying tickets. The Touristino agent was in touch and answered all my questions, helped me decide on the route, how to get there and from which hotel.
I hope that my review will be useful to someone when choosing a hotel.
If you are in favor of an active, driving vacation, then Citimax is perfect for you.

We were in Dubai for the first time, we got to this hotel, we liked it! The rooms are clean, bed linen is changed every day, tea and coffee are provided with water! Problems are solved promptly (we had a broken kettle) For a budget option, it is quite suitable! A huge plus is that there is a large shopping center nearby, and the metro is also nearby) The package only paid for breakfast, and the food was monotonous, but everything was quite edible! Lunch or dinner at this hotel costs around one and a half thousand rubles, which is also fine in principle) but we ate well at the KFC (it is located in the shopping center nearby) it was cheaper) there are probably better hotels for that kind of money, but since we don't know anything, we were happy with it, since we came just to spend the night there)

Excellent budget hotel. The location is very convenient, across the street is the Emirat Mall (huge) with a hypermarket and a food court. Cleaned daily. The breakfasts for 3 are excellent.
The metro is also close, there are 3 metro stops to Burj Khalifa.

The hotel is good for three stars. The rooms are small, but neat and clean. Everything is in good condition. There is everything you need for your stay. There may only be a problem with drying clothes, there is nowhere to dry them. The location of the hotel is good, near the mall, metro, bus station. You can safely recommend the hotel to your friends, it is good in its price category.

A wonderful 3-star hotel! Great food! A transfer to the beach was always available. Probably depends on the workload. It carries a kitebeach towards it, but Jumeirah beach is very pleasant - there are no sun beds and umbrellas, the shade is only under palm trees, of which there are few. There is a shower, toilet, changing room. There are 81 buses going to the beach from the Mall across the street and back from it, paying with the same card as in the gray metro (type three). The rest of the money can be spent at the subway store. The hotel is clean, the cleaning is daily, the food is delicious. It may be repetitive, but it's delicious. There is coffee, tea, and 2 bottles of water in the room. There is a hair dryer, a refrigerator. In the mall and metro and four courts and a lot of luxury shops. There is a supermarket across the street from the hotel with good food prices. Down to the right is the Day to day souvenir shop. Great location, you can go anywhere! You can take the 84 bus to JBR beach, but I didn't like it - the shower is paid only, a narrow sandy strip, a lot of people, packages were floating in the sea.. Ours is better- wide and people are not crowded

Great hotel. The hotel is located near the mall, metro, buses. We only had breakfast. You won't go hungry into the big selection. Friendly staff, cleaning service every day. They even made a teddy bear out of a towel for his birthday... A bus takes you to the sea, but it's difficult to sign up. We took 81 buses for 15 minutes and you're at the sail....

The hotel is decent. The breakfasts are good. There's less variety for dinner and fewer people. The most important thing is the location of the hotel next to the metro and mall. There are still many bus routes where you can travel all over Dubai
