We flew to Dubai from tour operator Biblio Globus! We were met at the airport right away, but we stood on the street for half an hour and waited for the bus to arrive! The bus turns on the disk, the meeting person does not speak himself, everything is already recorded on the disk. We got to the hotel, the bus stopped and they showed us with a finger what kind of hotel we were.

We flew to Dubai from tour operator Biblio Globus! We were met at the airport right away, but we stood on the street for half an hour and waited for the bus to arrive! The bus turns on the disk, the meeting person does not speak himself, everything is already recorded on the disk. We got to the hotel, the bus stopped and they showed us with a finger what kind of hotel we were. No one came with us, we did the rest! 1. We chose this hotel together with the managers of 1001 tours! According to the photos and description, everything was fine! The check-in happened instantly, they charged us 100 dirhams for 10 nights (you pay taxes to the state). We went up to the room - the rooms are clean, but very dark, there is little light! Air conditioners work well! The tea set that they write about in all rooms was for a fee, but there is a kettle in all rooms. On the first day there was no toilet paper in the toilet, then they brought it after our request! The rooms are cleaned every day! The staff at the hotel does not speak Russian at all! The hotel has 4 clubs of different nationalities (Arabic, Iranian, etc. ).
The location of the hotel is good, everything is nearby - shops, shopping centers, restaurants, pharmacies, and the most important metro station is nearby - Al Rigga.
The food at the hotel is not bad, but you get bored with the same thing every day! From fruit every day, watermelon, along with it one day a banana, the other day pineapple and oranges. Different salads, cake and croissants every day for breakfast. Drinks only juice, tea and coffee.
By the way, in December, nothing worked at the hotel on the 6th floor, the pool was closed for repairs, the gym was closed for repairs. Although no one warned us about this!
We had HB food - breakfast and dinner, we arrived at the hotel and were told that there was no dinner at the hotel at all, there would be only breakfast and lunch.
From the hotel at 9 am, the bus takes people to the beach, and at 13-00 comes for people. The beach is paid - entrance is 5 dirhams, sunbeds are paid 15 dirhams. Monday and Wednesday are women's day, men are not allowed to go to the beach...
In general, we liked everything, because we were only at the hotel at night, we came to sleep, the rest of the time we walked around the city, shopping centers and went on excursions!

As soon as I arrived from Dubai, I immediately decided to write a review about the hotel in order to stop those who are just going there, all previous positive reviews about the Delmon 4 * hotel are not true, I personally experienced all the delights of staying at this hotel and share it with everyone who is interested . At first everything was fine, we flew by Aeroflot, flew out of Sheremetyevo, a representative of Natalie Tours met us and immediately handed us over to the driver sent for us from the hotel. They put me in a broken-down minibus, with dirty and torn seats, and took me to a hotel. The hotel immediately issued a room for us, taking our passports from us, when we asked if it was possible to have dinner instead of lunch, which we had lost, we were categorically answered that we only had breakfast and lunch. Somewhere in the reviews I read that someone was offered dinner instead of lunch, so this is all not true, there is no such thing. When we saw the room offered to us, we gasped, it was not at all what was in the photo of the hotel, a shabby, smoky room, with old peeling bedspreads, we immediately said that we were non-smokers and that they changed our room, they changed it without any problems, the room was better. And everything would be fine, there are a lot of closets in the room, an LCD TV, the furniture is good, and the bedspreads are decent, but the bed linen. . . The next day, I found a huge hole on the sheet, asked to change the sheet, they changed it, the duvet cover was changed only after three days, and after three days the pillowcases, as it turned out later, there was also a hole in the duvet cover, in general, in 10 days we only changed the bed once. For some reason, only one bathrobe hung in the closet, although there were two pairs of slippers. The towels are all washed out, gray in color, and even they did not report when we asked for another towel, so they gave us generally dirty, with stains from mascara for the eyes, it seems that they were transferred from one room to another. They cleaned terribly, water was constantly flowing in the toilet, and they didn’t even wash it, there was a terrible smell from the toilet, you always had to make sure that the lid was closed, the sink was also not washed, it was covered in yellow stains, there was dust all around, especially on lamps on the bedside tables, just a finger thick, I don’t talk about the balcony at all, there was generally centuries-old dust, so we never went out to the balcony again. But you can’t say anything, because the cleaner pretends that he doesn’t understand anything (allegedly), neither in English, nor in Russian, nor on his fingers, he only spreads his arms, they asked us to report tea, it turned out that this is also a problem, gave it out almost with tears, doing us a great favor, in general, the service is still the same. If someone thinks that we didn’t give him a tip, and because of this such an attitude, then I assure you, they did, but everything remained the same. Now about the restaurant. Not only is it very small, it is located next to the reception, but if someone remembers the canteens of the Soviet times, the interior is about the same, there are peeling polished tables, without any tablecloths, on the tables there are only plastic substrates on which the knife lies, a fork and a paper napkin, after each visitor, crumbs are brushed off with a rag, and the next one sits down. The food is monotonous, there is little choice, but they cooked normally, we were not hungry. And yet, the hotel has a nightclub, so you can hear the music on all floors. Construction site next to the hotel. Now I am returning to "Natalih Tours", we saw the guide only once, the next day, we ordered excursions from her, and she did not show us again. We were still lucky, we talked with other vacationers from other tour operators, I will not voice their names, so they could not wait for the guides for several days. Now about the beach. They took us to the beach every morning at 9.00 o'clock. and picked up from the beach at 12.45 pm. , but it was necessary to get off to the bus in advance, because there might not be enough seats, latecomers left later, on the same minibus. The bus that was taken to the beach was small, old and with broken dirty seats, one thing only reassured that it took 10 minutes to get to the beach. Summary: I can advise you to use the Natalie Tours tour operator, but for those who want to relax in 4 star hotel, in accordance - price-quality, this hotel is strongly not recommended.

From 10.02 to 20.02 we rested with my sister at the Delmon Hotel. Excellent hotel, clean, beautiful, they clean and change linen every day, the staff is polite, attentive, I liked the administrator Lola the most, a very good person, responsive, I don’t know English, we wouldn’t have coped without her, the only inconvenience is that there is no hotel translator, after all, tourists from different countries come, it seems to me that this is a must in such hotels.

Air Arabia flew to Dubai from Kyiv, via Sharjah, the advantage is that there is no kilometer-long queue for a retinal scan, it took us 20 minutes to get all the control + baggage claim. On the way back, do not wait for the check-in time, go to any check-in window, check in your luggage and further to the second floor for passport control.

Now about the hotel: the plus of the hotel is the location to the metro station (2-3 minutes walk) and to Rigga Road. The hotel itself is not new, but quite decent. There is a fridge in the room. air conditioning, free safe, tea set (replenished on the day of arrival), mini bar paid (expensive), we were told that alcohol can be bought at Duty Free at Dubai Airport (three metro stops) with your passport, they did not check it themselves, but there is no alcohol in supermarkets anywhere! We ate at the hotel normally, you won’t stay hungry (but this is not Turkey ). The only thing is that you can take one breakfast, so as not to waste time and not be attached to lunch. Prices for groceries in supermarkets are the same as ours. The cafes are also relatively cheap.
In general, the hotel is a C grade, the fourth "star" is the restaurant administrator Lola, the only Russian-speaking person in this hotel. Feel free to contact her for all questions, always with a smile on her face she will tell and tell you where to go, how to get there, etc.
You don’t have to take a tour of Dubai, it will be more interesting to see it yourself, but Abu Dhabi is worth a trip! Be sure to buy a subway card (silver card) for everyday trips, it costs 20 dirhams (6 card + 14 per account) is the minimum, and then just top it up. If you take a one-time ticket, it is 2.5 times more expensive.
Taxi can be hailed everywhere, it is relatively inexpensive, but if you get stuck in a traffic jam, a simple one counts every minute, so a trip of 5 km can cost as much as 30 dirham . And traffic jams are almost always there...
Shopping malls are something! I really liked the Dubai mall & Emirates mall, you can spend the whole day there and not get around everything, the Deira city center carries a bus from the hotel, or the 1st metro station, but in general, almost everywhere you can take the metro faster and cheaper than a taxi! Be sure to go to the Festival city, but only by taxi (20-25 dirhams depending on traffic) there is something to see there, and there is also an IKEA shopping center.
We didn’t like Nasser Square, a lot of people, very reminiscent of Egypt and Turkey, they pull you, offer Chinese rubbish and fur coats “especially for the CIS”.
Gold is not cheap (chain 6 gr. - $ 500, a ring with a tiny diamond - $ 1000), though without bargaining. You can visit the vegetable and fish market, but who cares. Spices aren't cheap either.
On Al Rigga Street, not far from the hotel, in 10 minutes, there is Al Gureira, it is worth a walk.
Mall Rif & mall Burguman is not worth wasting time on them, there is nothing to do there.
Wafi mall is a shopping center for wealthy Arab women, and only expensive brands are represented in it. But you can look at the architecture itself. Everything is built in the Egyptian style, there are many statues of pharaohs, fountains, a luxurious SPA center.
The beach, Al Mamzar, every day carries a bus at 9, and picks up at 12-45, the entrance is 5 dirhams, a large, beautiful area, divided into several beaches. We went to the farthest beach, there are fewer people, and it takes about 10 minutes to walk. The Persian Gulf was cool at that time, but you can swim. The beach is clean, there are small shops on the territory where you can buy bedding and all sorts of beach stuff. On the roof of the hotel there is a small swimming pool, who are too lazy to go to the beach, you can sunbathe there.
In general, this country is unique, I really want to return there again....
P. S. This is not all the information, if anyone is interested, write, I will answer.

The hotel is conveniently located in the center, near the metro, shops, restaurants, including Russian, currency exchange points. Rooms are spacious, cleaned every day. Free bus to the beach and to the store. Food for breakfast and lunch is good, it is better not to go to dinner. The hotel has a Russian-speaking guide Lolla, who kindly answers all questions and helped us to stay for 2 hours on the day of departure.

Before going to this hotel, I looked for reviews about it. There are very few of them and mostly three years ago. Therefore, I decided to make it pleasant for those who wish to visit this particular hotel. 1) The rooms are all more or less decent - you can not give money when you check in; 2) The pool is the size of a palm - do not believe the elongated photographs, besides it is unheated (it was possible to climb into it only once in a week); 3) Cuisine - this is the main minus - I will not describe emotions, only facts: a standard set of dishes every day for lunch: pasta, rice, boiled vegetables, stewed beef, 4 salads - of which only the Greek type is edible and finally - cheers ! ! ! one day a chicken, one day a fish.

That is, in a week, not to mention more time, you will get so tired that even a howl of a wolf !! ! For dessert, only dried watermelon and jelly. Once a week they gave tiny cookies that were on weight of gold.
4) The lobby bar and the pool bar do not work at all, so as not to be written in the annotations to the hotel. That is, there is nothing to do in the hotel in the evening - the door to the roof is closed and you can’t even just sit at the tables, admire the moon.
Of the pluses, the most wonderful person is the administrator of the restaurant Lola, who will help on any issue at the hotel, suggest good places in Dubai and always find time and a smile for everyone! For example, when my husband had health problems and we asked our guide from the company "DESERT ADVENTURES" (who was responsible for us in Dubai, that is, to whom we paid money for this) to MIROSLAVA to help us - they sent us culturally !! ! But Lola called an ambulance, waited for her with us, helped when communicating with the doctor and then all week she inquired about her husband’s well-being and empathized with him, and she did it not on duty, but from the bottom of her heart!
I also liked the honesty of the staff - even though the mini-bar remained in the room all the time - nothing was taken out : )
In conclusion: I don’t know why the hotel was awarded 4, according to various reviews, I realized that in many ways even the best conditions are in triples.
I may have missed something, if you have any questions feel free to ask.
P. S. And the host company "DESERT ADVENTURES" did not even bother to inform the time of departure (and not only specifically for the two of us, but also for several other tourists from different flights), if it were not for the hotel transfer, they would probably have forgotten about us, well, yes , well, we didn’t buy tickets for excursions from them (which are actually 10-30 dollars more expensive per person for any excursion, although the conditions are exactly the same). Therefore, I advise you not to be fooled by stories that allegedly licenses and security are only hotel guides, on the beaches there are representatives of the Aladdin and Arabian Night companies, the conditions of which are identical in price and quality - take excursions from them - do not let large corporations cash in on you and at the same time consider us sheep, from which you only need to shear wool, and they are not interested in the problems of sheep...
