Travel time November 18-November 25.2012 From the airport to the hotel 10 minutes drive and the price is 20-25 dirhams - 200 rubles approximately. Don't repeat our mistake. Take a taxi if you have a group transfer. We rode for an hour and a half and could not get out of the bus due to the fact that the suitcases were at the bottom. Anyway, you will go to the reception yourself and it does not depend on which tour operator you flew with. The location of the hotel is quite convenient for walking around Deira, its markets and haunts. In 10-20 minutes you can walk from the hotel to almost anywhere from the famous places in the area. it's even good that he is somewhat away from this shaman. The hotel is one of the closest to the beach, where tourists are taken from all over Deira. Considering that the shuttles all leave at the same time, but they will bring you from the hotel 10-15 minutes earlier than others, which means that you will take tickets to the beach without a queue (45 rubles) and choose which palm tree or umbrella you like, and not which ones will remain.
Check-in is instant. They didn’t ask for a deposit, they tried to leave their passports, but we said that we were going to Oman and also ordered tickets to the Burj Khalifa via the Internet, and there, in order to get them, documents with a photo are required, which is true. Gave it the next morning without talking. We arrived in a large company and at our request they settled us all side by side on the same floor, and two rooms were generally connected by a door, which we asked not to close. Rooms 106.113, 114 and 117. In principle, all are similar in terms of decor, only they all go out to three different sides of the hotel. One of them went out into the street across the road where there was a mosque and the mullah at 5 in the morning will definitely call you to prayer - this is the 106th, in the rest no one heard the mullah, so distantly a couple of times. The furniture in the rooms is relatively new, the plumbing is quite clean, the bed is comfortable, the linen is good. Towels were changed without asking every day. They did not touch it if it remained intact and folded, as it should be fresh.
Cleaned decently, sometimes only too late. Often coming from dinner we saw an uncleaned room.

Breakfast is normal in this kind of hotels. It was always possible to eat, and a fruit salad in juice is generally something with something.
Generally worthy. For lunch or dinner, we paid an additional 180 rubles per person per day, and in this situation, I highly recommend doing the same. For this money you can eat very tasty food. And lunch is very convenient. After the beach, then relax for an hour while the heat is on and on the road. Products, salads, pastries, etc. all fresh. There are no fruits for lunch and dinner, but there is again a delicious assorted fruit salad. Please note that drinks at lunch and dinner are not included in the price and the price is 9 dirhams for 200 gr. a bottle of Coca Cola and tea for 100 rubles certainly does not paint the hotel. In the store it costs 1 - 1.2 dirhams.
The percentage of CIS sheep living in the hotel is approximately 50%. Two years ago, when I was resting, it was no more than 10%, As a result, getting on the bus to the beach turned into a sport, whoever did not have time was late. According to the schedule, the shuttle was supposed to leave at 9-00, but already at eight it was filled with people who were ready to sit in it for half an hour, waiting for the driver. The driver, seeing such a situation at 8-30, usually already left and returned for a new crowd of tourists. Two buses were not always enough to take everyone away. And the most disgusting thing is that, as we usually do, when the percentage of our tourists crosses a certain line, everything starts to be done through w... and with problems. Naturally, everyone cut through the chip and began to go down by eight o'clock to be on duty at the bus, naturally there weren't enough seats for everyone and there were no scandals here, and I occupied these six seats yesterday all the time, ugh disgusting. After a couple of trips in such a company, we went to the beach by taxi. The issue price is 20 dirhams (180 rubles). If for four, then generally a penny. But it's still half the trouble. All the tourists who left at 8-30 and 9-00, respectively, at 13-00 came and tried to get into this bus. Nobody wanted to wait another half an hour in the sun. There are new scandals and so on. Well, it's like taking sunbeds at 5 am in hotels where most of the guests are Russian-speaking. We'll make a problem out of everything. I talked with the English family from the hotel, who sincerely did not understand why people who left at 9-00 and not at 8-30 try to get into the bus departing at 13-00 and not at 13-30. Moreover, the main contingent is nasty, such grandmothers and grandfathers of pre-retirement age of the old Soviet school. They organize a fight for a place in the sun anywhere.
If this situation does not bother you, then I safely recommend the hotel for sightseeing holidays and shopping, combined with morning trips to the beach. For the price, it is often cheaper than three rubles. In the Nasser Square area. even if it's not a four, but a super-three - that's for sure.
