We stayed at this hotel from 26/01 to 07/02/10.
I liked the hotel very much. The hotel is clean, the service is good, justifies its 5 *. Exactly as in the pictures. The hotel has a very convenient location, 5 min. from the airport, near Deira city cenere, and most importantly very close to the metro, by metro you can get to the center, to any store.
Standard Rooms - Well furnished with everything you need to live there:
Soft, comfortable beds / bed, TV, telephone, Kitchen, stove, dishes, pots... sterile machine, iron, ironing board, safe, upholstered furniture, bar counter. The bathroom is in trouble, Bathrobe, hair dryer, nothing to complain about, only toothpaste and slippers are missing.
There are floors for smokers. You can't smoke in the lobby (you can't smoke anywhere except in your room). Or you can go outside. There are no balconies.

Breakfast is very good, but repetitive. Lots of fruits and baked goods. They make scrambled eggs. I went with a guy, he did not complain about food. There was enough meat. But I was delighted - normal coffee and a lot of fruit.
The pool is located on the 2nd floor of the hotel, there is also a gym. The pool is very small, around 10 sunbeds. Ideal for children. Jacuzzi in the middle. On the last day we went to the pool and regretted that we did not go there to swim. The gym is well equipped, of course I don’t “work out”, but it seems that there are absolutely all the simulators.
A Russian-speaking employee works at the reception at night. Therefore, the settlement goes without problems.
The business center is open from 8:00 to 11:00 Internet there is free, in the room the Internet and telephone are paid.
Advantages
- subway 2 meters from the hotel
- across the road from the hotel there is Deira city cenere (one of the largest stores), where you can change money, buy a SIM card (call to Russia ~ 50 rubles per minute), buy groceries in kerifura, because the room has a kitchen.
- good breakfasts
Disadvantages:
- no Russian channels
- there is no alcohol in the hotel restaurant, there is no alcohol in the shops either, but there are hotels nearby where you can drink. Not far (2 quarters) from the hotel is the hotel Moscow. Where you can eat Russian cuisine, the cost of dishes is from 40 to 100 dirhams, beer 28 dir. , vodka 400 dirhams. Lunch buffet - 80 dirhams. In addition, there is Japanese cuisine. In addition, you can go to the hotel "Renaissance 5 *" there is a bar with drinks on the 2nd floor and a restaurant, a buffet-179 dirhams, with beer and wine 229 dirhams.

- no transfer to the beach (for an additional fee, the hotel provides this service - 100 dirhams per person / 830 rubles). Jumeirah 3 city beach can be reached by taxi 60 dirhams - 500 rubles, or you can first take the metro to DUBAI MALL (two-way ticket 11 dirhams - 90 rubles) and from DUBAI MALL by taxi 20 dirhams -160 rubles. one way (to the beach). The same 500 rubles. for two, so it's better to immediately take a taxi. Entrance to Jumeirah - 5 dirhams per person. 40 rubles, a sunbed 15 dirhams, a towel 10. We didn’t go to the city beach near the hotel, they say it’s not very good there. The cost of a taxi ride there will be 100 rubles, maybe there is a regular bus going there, we did not find out.
