“Good Location and Quality Room and Service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2011

I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights and I was totally satisfied. It is opposite to Emirates Mall and very easy to reach. In fact, the hotel does not look so great from outside and it's surrounded by nothing. However, I was surprised to see the large size rooms and it's excellent contents. It is a large suite with a living room, Kitchen, a bathroom and a large bedroom. It was very clean and quiet. We did not have a chance to try all facilities like the pool or else but I enjoyed the free wireless internet inside the room. I was happy the furniture was in a very good conditions and comfortable. I did not have any concern about it at all and will return back to it if I come back to Dubai.

“Good location cheap tarriff with tiny rooms”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 June 2011

I staye3 nights here whilst on a business trip. I checked out to a more suitable hotel after 3 nights. This hotel is located just across the road from the Mall of the Emirates, so for shopping you can't go wrong. The rooms were not suitable for business purposes, the desk to work from was tiny as was the room. The bath room was again tiny. I took breafast therem which was ok, I used the one of the bars for a meal, which again was not fantastic, I dined across the road in the "Eat Ally" a quiet place that served Italian and Indian food, I tried both, the Indian was exceptional!
Would I stay there again probably not. Its fine for a few nights when you go to Dubai to shop.

“Executive Room was smaller and smokey”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 June 2011

For my second stay here, I chose the Executive Roomp--the room was considerably smaller and quite smokey despite my request for a non-smoking room on the booking site. There was a stain on the sheets but other things seemed clean. Other than that, everything was great like before. Maybe it’s better to choose the bigger one-bedroom apartment-what you pay is what you get I guess.

“Good hotel but a far away from the city center”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 May 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Very roomy clean and tidy. However there were some problems with the Wi-Fi in the rooms and coverage was very poor not to mention that you have to pay about US$ 8.00/day for the service. The breakfast is limited and served directly to rooms with no choices. The hotel is very near to the famous EM mall but is far away from other hot spots. In general the hotel is clean and tidy, service is good , the only disatvanges seem to be the breakfast, Wi-Fi coverage and a bit less the location

Room Tip: Avoid the breakfast. Avoid paying for useless WF

“Very pleasant stay with familiy”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2011

We came from a long SE-Asia trip, traveling with 2 Kids (4 and 1 year old). We have been in more than 18 hotels and this one had the best quality-price-luxury value.

Due to our duration of travel, we are a little on a budget. Had bad internet access when I booked and mistakendly booked a single room for one person. The reason was the good price.

We were upgraded for free into a 75 sqm appartment. Living-room, 2 baths, kitchen (incl. Washing-machine, pots and pans etc) and bedroom, overlooking the Emerates Mall which is 100m away. Behind it you can see the Burj Al Arab and to the right is Burj Kalifa. Great view.
Has windows one can open
Aircon blows a bit onto one face an the angle can not be adjusted.

TV is showes nothing special.

Good for children because of pool on roof. No shallow part though. Great view on Dubai! Also has Gym (open 09h00 to 21h00). Pool ist heated in Winter (gets quite cool at night, but the pool has very nice 34 °C!) A Jacousy is also there.

Reception-area is a bit small, but the staff is very nice. Has a ramp at entrance and no steps to go into room (good for pram or buggy)

Breakfast is interesting: Comes in a Pizza-box to your room and everything in it. Due to delivery from an external company there are no special wishes possible, but it changes every day.

You can cook your own. Big fridge is there. Carrfoure in the Mall has everything one can ask for at very reasonalble prices (Fruitjuce freshly pressed 25ml at 1,25 AED (=approx EUR 0,35!))

Takes approx 2 Minutes with Taxi to get to Burj Al Arab, where the public beaches (incl. free fresh-water shower) are. Go to far left or right of beach, because otherwise you are constantly in the middle of tourists on the beach, taking photos of Burj Al Arab.
Takes 2 Minutes by foot to go skiing (yes, this is where one can ski!)

About 2 Minutes to Wild Wadi Waterpark with Taxi
Taxi comes within 2 Minutes after call at reception.
Taxifare from Hotel to Airport ist at approx AED 60 (about EUR 12,-)

Internet costs extra at AED 30,- per day.

For the price we payed for this big appartment, we would go here again. The regular reck-rate though would overprice the room.
