Upon arrival, we were picked up from the airport, which, by the way, is not far from the hotel and quickly settled. The room had everything you need: hair dryer, bath accessories, good, comfortable bed. By the way, when checking in, they asked us which bed we prefer (double or two smaller ones), constantly smiling, wishing us a good day. So for the work of the staff, you can put a sure 5. The food is delicious, hearty, usually for breakfast there was an omelette, sausages, vegetables and fruits, cheese, etc. The main plus, as for me, is the location - near the metro, shops. I took a bus to the beach every morning and picked it up, although it’s not very far from it, but it’s still nice) In general, the impressions from Rafee are good, if we’re in Dubai again, we’ll stay here, why overpay if you can have a great rest here? )

Traveled via Natalie tour Seeing this homeless person, they made a scandal to the tour operator on the phone. About Rafee: Located in that place (you can’t call it a hotel) it’s scary and dangerous for health, not to mention living The most memorable: dirt everywhere, unpleasant smells everywhere, sewage stink in the room, fungus in the bathroom, bad staff, disco half the night I had to buy bed linen and towels (we found a store nearby) - they were afraid to sleep on that We went for breakfast and rushed out of there without even touching anything, unsanitary conditions there.

About Rafee:
Located in that place (you can’t call it a hotel) it’s scary and dangerous for health, not to mention living
The most memorable: dirt everywhere, unpleasant smells everywhere, sewage stink in the room, fungus in the bathroom, bad staff, disco half the night
I had to buy bed linen and towels (we found a store nearby) - they were afraid to sleep on that
We went for breakfast and rushed out of there without even touching anything, unsanitary conditions there.
The area in which it is located - Deira - it is impossible to walk even calmly - they cling to everything to sell something
I do not recommend!
If you want a cheaper hotel, then look for discounts and promotions for another hotel, but not in Rafee

The hotel lives up to its 2 star status. Located next to the metro station "Green Line 21" Boniyas Square, commercial and residential area of Deira old Dubai. Nearby is a grocery supermarket, exchange office, gold market, spice market, bay embankment. Bus to the beach at 8-00, back at 12-30. Entrance to the beach is paid 5 dirhams. Monday and Wednesday are Women's Day. Umbrella, deck chair, towel - 25 dirhams. There are cabanas on the beach. Sign up for the beach in the evening at the reception. The staff does not speak Russian well, but understands and is friendly. The rooms are cleaned every day. Meals - breakfast and lunch. We wanted to change it for dinner, but it didn't work out. Indians serve in the dining room, they speak Russian. The food is good, fruit for lunch. The windows of the room overlooked the mosque. At 5 am, the muezzin calls to prayer on the loudspeaker, the next call is at 6 am. Noises of working pumps - desalination plants are heard. You can ask to be moved to another room. Tour prices are very high. The beach also offers guided tours at lower prices. The local people speak English. It is better not to walk past shops selling fur coats, unless you have come for a fur coat, barkers in Russian stick. On the beach, the sand is cool in the morning, the water is warm. Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Zayed Mosque, Al Ain is worth a visit. In Al Ain bathing hot springs 40 degrees and a zoo.

Terrible hotel!!!! ! I do not recommend! Everything is just terrible! Rest in the room will not work, because at 5 in the morning they start vacuuming along the corridor, at 6 in the morning the mullah screams, there is a mosque nearby, no head.... The attendants are not helpful, I even had to swear, drag them into the room, show what is broken, the rooms smell like smoke.

Terrible hotel!!!! ! I do not recommend! Everything is just terrible!

The attendants are not helpful, I even had to swear, drag them into the room, show what is broken, the rooms smell like smoke. In the beginning, we were settled on the 3rd floor, I forgot to say that there is a disco in the hotel for guest workers until 3 o’clock, and you simply won’t fall asleep. . . we asked to be moved, it was done, the next day, after 3 hours, more or less than on the 3rd floor, this one was on the 5th floor. . . the pool is small, the water is cold, on the 6th floor. . . You need to sign up for the beach from 17:00 to 20:00, the next day at 7:30 you are sent to a paid beach. . . The memories are terrible, the neighbors had a sea of u200bu200bcockroaches, they feed poorly in the canteen, rats run around, a horror movie. . . It is not possible to eat, although they are fed twice a day. . . appetite disappears. . . Run away from this hotel so as not to spoil your vacation. . . Only one thing was good that the hotel is located in the center of Dubai. We ourselves moved around Dubai on the map, metro. . . Tickets for the Borj Khalifa were bought in advance, on the Internet. . . I bought a fur coat, but the prices are not worse than ours. . . Were in Abu Dhabi, an overview of Dubai, I liked the guide Murat, well done, he knows so much about the country. . . Natalie Tour is a terrible company, we have never seen a representative of this company, only once at the airport and that's it. . . we have been to many countries. . . but they didn't see it. . . You can give this company 1!

All reviews are true. Among other things, a camera was stolen from our room, which we accidentally left on the bed. Keep this in mind if you are going to this hotel. The hotel employees pretended, but in fact did nothing to eliminate the incident. They didn't even apologize to us. Cockroaches.

In the Emirates for the second time, so the hotel could not spoil the impression of the country and the city. The hotel is below the lower level, can not be compared with any stars. Black workers and unintentional tourists live, since it is impossible to choose a hotel voluntarily a second time. After an hour of searching for a hotel, the driver took our suitcase away, we searched for a day.

In the Emirates for the second time, so the hotel could not spoil the impression of the country and the city. The hotel is below the lower level, can not be compared with any stars. Black workers and unintentional tourists live, since it is impossible to choose a hotel voluntarily a second time. After an hour of searching for a hotel, the driver took our suitcase away, we searched for a day. Staff with mockery and mockery refers to white tourists who agreed to live in conditions unacceptable to people. It’s scary to remember the rooms, the slurry of dirt under the pedestal of the washbasin, the toilet bowl, which is impossible to sit on, it’s better not to touch the curtains and windows - dust and plaster will fall. The stench of old furniture, decayed carpet, insecticides, sewerage, old refrigerators and air conditioners. Water collects at the bottom of the refrigerator. There is mold and dust everywhere. The linen is full of holes and grey. There is dirt on the tables in the dining room. Tablecloths stained with food, fat, soup, eggs are changed without washing for exactly the same dirty ones. The staff in the dining room is aggressive, ignoring requests, as if everyone is eating out of their pocket. Accidentally spilled on the floor remains on it forever. The products are spoiled, except for fresh bread, which the worker puts with dirty hands into a cellophane that never changes. Eggs overcooked with a rotten smell, hair and feathers with chicken bones float in the soup. Cheese in packages, but we ourselves saw how it is taken out not only from the refrigerator, but from waste. There are greasy stains on the walls. There are holes in the ceiling, from which something foul-smelling pours and drips. Any person from the street has access to the hotel, crowds of drunk local blacks fell out of the elevator and disco. The disco not just rattles, but shakes the walls with a drum roar (we could not fall asleep until morning on the 5th floor). Singing a prayer in the morning will not compete with the roar of a transformer in the yard. The staff is so dirty (clothes, hands, feet, beards in food) that it is unpleasant to talk. The bus to the beach is old, broken with folding seats, it is clogged to capacity. Suitcases were carried to the airport in front of the bus on a cart - an old car without a top, tied with ropes (as in a nightmare). At discharge, they do not give passports, extorting money for non-existent services, taking advantage of the fear of being late for the airport. The staff in everything behaves in such a way that the residents feel due or guilty. With any question, misunderstanding or ignorance of the language, neglect and envoyship are depicted. It is not clear how this hostel can be sold by tourism operators. The phrases "what do you want for that kind of money? " they do not fit here, just like the words "spend the night will do. " Caught on reviews about the Afghan restaurant, we consider them custom-made. It is impossible to advise dirt, old spoiled lettuce leaves drenched in mayonnaise, a week-old smelly chicken and black stale kebab. I would like to advise one thing - please, respect yourself, when traveling to the emirates for the first time, this hotel will deprive you of rest and impressions of the country. I will answer all questions about the hotel, transport and others.

I never lived in deuces, tk. the traveler's experience is small. Reading the comments prepared for the worst. I went with my daughter, she is terribly afraid of insects, for two days and three nights we did not meet them. The windows have not really been washed for five years already, and not only the windows, but all the glass, as well as the chandeliers throughout the hotel.

The pastel is clean, what is most important, it is better to bring your own towels, because they smell clean, but the color is too gray. The bathroom is old, but clean. Two Russian channels. Split, working hair dryer, refrigerator. They didn’t eat there, they immediately got an unwashed plate. We ate ourselves in a cafe and yoghurts bought in a store

The hotel is wonderful - a normal breakfast, a wonderful dinner, even crabs were served, however, a little stale, that's why no one ate them. It cannot be said that they were bad, maybe the fish products there are all like that. The beach is paid, but there is a free one on the right, so if this factor is decisive when choosing a hotel, go.

The most important thing is not to be late for the bus, the hotel said that back at 12, and the driver - that at 11.30. So at 11.30 he arrived and left after 2 minutes, and we were late and returned by public transport.
They say that this hotel has a loud disco - we arrived in Ramadan, but who cares about healthy sleep - the way here is booked, for everyone else - come, you won't regret it!
