We went to Dubai for the first time for 2 weeks in December 2012, in order to bask in the sun and get to know the city. We chose the Rash in hotel, an economy option in the city's shopping center, next to the metro station (№25) Al Fahidi (100m). It took 20 minutes to get to the hotel from the airport. We checked in quickly, didn’t pay anything extra.

We went to Dubai for the first time for 2 weeks in December 2012, in order to bask in the sun and get to know the city. We chose the Rash in hotel, an economy option in the city's shopping center, next to the metro station (№25) Al Fahidi (100m). It took 20 minutes to get to the hotel from the airport. We checked in quickly, didn’t pay anything extra. The staff is very polite and attentive. We were lucky with the room (721), entrance hall, spacious room with carpet, dressing table, huge bed with 2 bedside tables, stand and chair kitchen with refrigerator, TV, table and sofa. Air conditioning. Shower with hot and cold water. an adapter from American (3-pin) to European for 10 dirhams (drm) and know the problems.
I want to say right away that there are no pools in the hotel. In the evening from 21.00 to 3 am Disco for Africans, also an Indian disco bar for youth on the 0th floor and on the 1st floor an Indian bar-restaurant with a show program. On floors 2-4 in the rooms you can hear the music, almost no higher.
Food store 50m to the left of the hotel and around the corner to the right at 150m. Prices for dairy and seafood are cheaper than in Kyiv.
Juices, fruits and sweets are mostly cheaper than ours.
By the way, it is better to change the currency ($100 -366 AED) in banks or exchange offices near the metro. In the hotel, they change $ 100 for 350 AED.
Vegetable and fish market - take the green metro line stop No. 22 "Palm Deira". Shopping centers; 1) - Dubai Mall - from the hotel bus No. 29 or red (kr) metro line to stop No. 25 "Dubai Mall"
2)-"Mall of the Emirates"-stop. kr. metro №32.3)-Mall Marina-stop. kr. metro №36 "Dubai Marina". 4)-Mall"WAFI"-stop. green metro station №28 Dubai Healthcare City "(pyramid) 5) - Gold Souk and Spice Bazaar - metro stop (green #20 and cr. # 18) "Union". 6) - City Center - metro stop # 16" Deira City centre".
Beaches; 1-Jumeirah open beach (free) - ride Avt. No. C-10 from the station. kr metro No. 19 (green line No. 26) or from the Bus station bus No. 8.
2-Jumeirah park beach (paid) - 5 AED. Drive Bus No. 8 or C-10.
3-Marina Beach-Kr. Metro No. 36 "Dubai Marina"
4-beach (paid), Atlantis water park, Dilphinarium in the Creek park - green metro stop No. 28.
5-beach (free of charge), water park near the Arab Tower (Sail Hotel) - Bus No. 8.
I recommend taking excursions to Abu Daba and Ferrari Park.
We had a wonderful rest. A lot of positive and impressions from the trip. For all the time we have not seen a single homeless or drunk. The people are very friendly and polite. I agree with many that this is the safest place in the world, where a lot of things are considered the best of the best. only 41 years old!
I want to return to this fabulous country for positive again and again... Victor.

Rested from 5 to 12 October 2012. Economy rest. Hotel Rush in Hotel 2 stars. I liked the rest. There were three of us (3 women). There are no triple rooms. Settled in 2 and 1 local. In a double: 2 rooms and 2 large bathrooms. The staff is friendly. The telephone did not work and the TV was not set up, we said at the reception, and the master immediately came.

Rested from 5 to 12 October 2012. Economy rest. Hotel Rush in Hotel 2 stars. I liked the rest. There were three of us (3 women). There are no triple rooms. Settled in 2 and 1 local. In a double: 2 rooms and 2 large bathrooms. The staff is friendly. The telephone did not work and the TV was not set up, we said at the reception, and the master immediately came. About discos in the hotel they wrote that it was impossible to fall asleep. We had a room on the 4th floor. Slept without back legs
Breakfast is very poor, we did not order dinner, but people were very satisfied. We took with us a boiler, tea, coffee, sugar, biscuits, dry sausage and did not lose. It was always possible to eat. There was a supermarket nearby. Bread, milk, vegetables, fruits, water. . . bought there. Prices are the same as ours. There was no sausage.
The sockets there are not the same as ours, you need an adapter. I had to buy $3.
We got to the free beach by taxi for $4-5. They took an umbrella for 10 darhams, which is almost $3.1$=3.66 darhams. The bedding was brought with them from Kyiv.
They got to the malls and bazaars by metro. The cheapest bazaar on Banlyas Square is the green metro line stop number 21. You need to get the metro map yourself at free stands (a small booklet), we didn’t find it right away.
It is cheap to go to the dolphinarium for 1 darham, to the museum for 3 darhams. This is from fellow travelers. We weren't there.

I had the pleasure of staying at this hotel in February 2007. I was then in Dubai for work, the company where I worked settled me in this hotel. True, she settled not herself, but through some local intermediary. For my money, I would hardly choose this hotel. By the way, I later told the company everything that I think about this, they froze, like it was the initiative of a local intermediary, and they themselves did not know where I was settled.

I had the pleasure of staying at this hotel in February 2007. I was then in Dubai for work, the company where I worked settled me in this hotel.

By the way, I later told the company everything that I think about this, they froze, like it was the initiative of a local intermediary, and they themselves did not know where I was settled. Okay, that's the past. . .
So, the hotel quite rightly has two stars and fully corresponds to them. Again, by local standards. The only positive is the location is quite good. Everything else is a total waste. The front of the hotel faces the roadway, a rather busy road, so it is quite noisy from the front. Large-scale construction was carried out from the back at that time, it was very noisy both day and night, even with the windows completely closed. I don't know if the construction has already ended there or not. The room itself was given to me of a decent size, of some bizarre shape, even a two-room suite, in addition to the bedroom there was another room with a table, a sofa, an armchair, a refrigerator and a TV. There were no Russian channels. But everything shows signs of decent wear - shabby upholstery on furniture, stained carpeting, cheap and dirty furniture. The bathroom was generally surprising - in addition to the widespread presence of a fungus and a rather sloppy state, I saw a very original way of repairing a fallen off tile - it was fixed in place with self-tapping screws! But the room was cleaned regularly, although all the cleaning came down to making the bed and changing the towels (although I don’t remember exactly about the towels).
There is no hall in the hotel as such, there is a small reception desk, to the left of it is the entrance to a certain room, proudly called a restaurant, to the right is the entrance to the bar and disco, straight ahead is the transition to the elevator, in this passage there are two sofas, on which in the evening - prostitutes sit proudly at night. So there is no such thing as "sit in the lobby" for this hotel due to the absence of the lobby itself. There was a disco in the bar until the morning, music was constantly blaring in the rooms on the second floor, it was impossible to sleep.
Nutrition is a different story. In a shabby room called "restaurant" there are dirty, worn and warped tables. There is no buffet. They give a rather meager menu, then you have to wait until the dish is prepared and brought. The minimum wait is 30 minutes, the maximum wait is an hour. The service staff does not speak Russian, so those who do not know English have nothing to do in this hotel.
Now about where I started - location. The hotel is located five minutes from the Dubai Museum, ten minutes from the promenade, from which you can go to the other side of the bay. In the vicinity of the hotel there are more shopping centers, literally around the corner - a very good deli. True, at that large intersection, which is clearly visible in the photo, now (December 2009) a metro station is being built, everything is fenced around, it is quite problematic to move around there. That shopping center, which is located behind the intersection, used to be quite crowded and interesting, now it is in some kind of desolation, probably because getting to the entrance to it due to the fact that everything around is blocked is quite problematic. However, getting to, for example, a water park from here is much easier and faster than, for example, from Deira. Tested on myself - a taxi to Parus and back dragged on for 50 bucks, while she also drove and famously swayed. When this metro line is put into operation, the location of this hotel will become even more attractive.
The nearest beach is Al Jumeirah, but the bus from the hotel does not go there, but a taxi cost some $ 3. True, leaving the beach is quite problematic, it is impossible to catch a taxi, you had to walk a decent distance, and only then catch a car.
Conclusions: this hotel is for very economical tourists, for whom convenience and comfort do not matter much. But you can live, I lived for almost a week; )
