Rested from 7 to 14 August 2012. Previously rested in different countries and constantly in 5 *. But, knowing that the UAE is an expensive country, like many, they tuned in for the worst. The hotel fully justified its 2 *, even more than. The rooms are clean, the bedding was changed twice, towels, shampoos and shower gels were changed daily. The staff is very friendly. There is a Russian-speaking guy at the reception. Many wrote that without knowledge of English in the Emirates there is nothing to do. Nothing like this. Even with little knowledge, you can understand what they want from you and what you would like. As they wrote in the reviews about the presence of bedbugs, I want to assure: -I did not find them! Although I myself am a doctor by training and take such things seriously, the first thing I did when we entered the room was to immediately turn over everything that was possible to establish their presence. I did not find any bedbugs or their scales! Music was not heard, about which they wrote a lot because it was Ramodan. Near the hotel, on the right side, across the road there is a small SABA supermarket. There you can buy water, juices, nuts, chips, well, any other small rubbish. SITY CENTER is not far from the hotel, where free shuttles run daily at 10:58.13:13.16:18 and 21:53. But we used it only once to find our way to the hotel, and then we walked and it took about 20-30 minutes. if not in a hurry. There are many shops and other shopping centers not far from the hotel on both sides, so there is where to take a walk. Be sure to take adapters with three plugs with you, because all sockets are for a triple plug. We had to buy an adapter from SABA, its cost is 7 dirhams. In the SITY CENTER we wandered into a grocery store, like our AMSTORE, METRO, AUCHAN. Everything is there, just like ours. Fruits, vegetables, etc. We bought grilled chicken there, (in the culinary department) to taste, and it is no different from ours. In the fish department, when they saw an abundance of different shrimp, and even the prices were not the same as ours, but much lower, that is, a freebie, they decided to buy a cheap ate. a kettle for 37 dirhams and every day in our room there was a ritual of cooking shrimp))). (Tiger prawns per kg. 30-40-50 dirhams) Although the metro is close to the hotel, it costs more than a taxi. So we took a taxi. From the hotel to the Dubai Mall (this is where the tallest building of the Burj Khalifa, fountains and the largest shopping center + aquarium) by taxi knocked out 30-35 dirhams one way. From the hotel to Burj Arab (sail) one way it was 40-45 dirhams. But it's all in the same direction. so you can go directly to the "Sail" and visit the Souk Madinat Jumeirah market nearby, go to the Jumeirah beach nearby, take cool photos against the backdrop of the hotel and head to the fountains, the aquarium and the Dubai Shopping and Entertainment Center (Dubai mall). (Dubai Mall) is the largest shopping and entertainment center in the Middle East. All this is in one complex, as well as on the way back and direction to the Eureka hotel. When flying to the UAE, they took a bottle of champagne in their suitcase, in DUTY FREE they bought a bottle of delicious vodka, cognac and liquor. There were no problems with importation. Since we flew through the Arab. company, then they didn’t feed or pour on the plane. ((But even here our man can be found, taking with him in his hand luggage a couple of plastic cups "So that the boss does not hear"))) and taking a few boutiques for snacks and snacks)). The holiday turned out great, there is something to remember. The country is very beautiful, but expensive. I forgot to write, excursions are expensive. The cheapest is a survey of Dubai for $55, all the rest start from 70-80 and above. $ 70 excursion to Abu Dhabi with a visit to the mosque. $80 - jeep ride in the desert. I really liked the trip to Oman, to the Indian Ocean, costing $ 70. The tour included lunch (very tasty) at the hotel in Oman. The hotel is very comfortable and clean. It's true to go 2.5 hours. , but it's worth it, the guides do not let you get bored along the way, so the time passes quickly. Hotel Eureka highly recommend. Moreover, the hotel is needed there only to spend the night and again on the road. Take only breakfast, because you can eat just as well yourself, sometimes even cheaper. HAVE A GOOD REST ALL!! !
