It so happened that we booked this hotel, and then read the reviews. Naturally, if it were the other way around, she would run without looking. But I had a somewhat non-standard situation, I went to live in my brother's apartment on GBR, and in order to get a visa, I had to book any hotel. It turned out to be Shalimar. I couldn't meet my brother, I had to spend a day at the hotel. His biggest problem is he's just mega-noisy. Everything is buzzing there - refrigerator, air conditioner, street, ventilation. If the neighbors turn on the air conditioner, the entire wall vibrates. Airplanes take off every two minutes (by the way, those who have topographical cretinism, and getting lost in that area just spit, this has become a good guide - where the Emirates is gaining altitude, there is a hotel). At 5 am, the mujin (mosque around the corner) starts yelling. From the window view of the construction site. The building itself has already been built, but finishing work is underway - there are all sorts of perforators and other noisy tools. Sleep is unrealistic. For breakfast, 4 slices of toast, a little butter and jam, and scrambled eggs. Choice of coffee or tea. Bring ready. I looked into the kitchen - upon arrival it turned out that the sockets had 3 plugs, the boiler could not be plugged in, I went for boiling water. Apart from eggs and packets of butter and jam, nothing else, I suspect that this is 1 breakfast for all time. Of the pluses - the room has a good refrigerator, it freezes regularly, not Turkish-Egyptian minibars, in which the temperature is slightly lower than the air temperature. The second plus is a cheap area for both food and shopping. Since after I ended up in an elite GBI-AR for two weeks on the seashore overlooking the Palm Jumeirah, there is something to compare.

The hotel corresponds to the price, but it’s better to pay extra for the tour than to regret later, it didn’t suit me that there is no transfer to the beach, the breakfasts are monotonous and meager,

it was some kind of nightmare! on tour. The agency was told: "There are no bad hotels in Dubai! If it says 1*, it will look like 3*. . " Well, we decided to go there. arrived. . 1) the guests of the metropolis are the last to be taken to this "hotel", because it is located at the end of the world (very far), local Arabs, but what are the locals, no one lives there except for Indians and Pakistanis.

it was some kind of nightmare!
on tour. The agency was told: "There are no bad hotels in Dubai! If it says 1*, it will look like 3*. . "
Well, we decided to go there.
arrived. .
1) the guests of the metropolis are the last to be taken to this "hotel", because it is located at the end of the world (very far), local Arabs, but what are the locals, no one lives there except for Indians and Pakistanis. dirt and this disgusting smell everywhere (especially in the heat).
2) there is no metro in this place, you will first have to take a bus to a nearby metro station or spend fabulous sums on a taxi.
3) "hotel" for Russian tourists in 95% of cases serves to get a visa without problems (no one basically lives there)
4) "hotel" mainly for "local" (Negroes, Hindus, Pakistanis)
5) at night you can hear the national songs of the "local" peoples.
6) there are a lot of cockroaches and bedbugs in the "hotel". they are "permanent" residents there, so if you do decide to spend the night there, sleep preferably in long clothes, leave the light in the toilet on and wrap yourself in a blanket.
7) a towel in the "hotel" is not given.
8) for breakfast you will get a "divine" scrambled eggs with toast, jam and tea and coffee, everything will be laid out on a table with a sheet (instead of tablecloths in this hotel, sheets)
- in general, if you have not bought a tour yet, but only choose a hotel, do not spare money, but it is somewhere ($ 40-70 per person) and choose another hotel, believe me, it is worse than Shalimara - there are no hotels in Dubai !
- if you have already bought a tour and just decided to look at the reviews for the sake of interest - I won’t lie to you - you will end up in the most terrible "hotel". but don’t be discouraged, first fly to your destination, and the next day, if you come across a normal, understanding guide, ask him to move you to another hotel (you can look for inexpensive hotels before departure, they are usually located in Deira to accurately guide the guide to your desires and possibilities), you will have to pay extra, so take extra money (about 60% and more per person).
have a good rest!
be careful.

You can relax here only for very little money, the rooms are not cleaned until you make a scandal from the canteen entrance to the men's toilet, for breakfast every day only scrambled eggs butter jam and toast to get to this delight you need to stand in line as there are only 12 seats in the canteen if you're lucky sit on a chair that is not broken Do not order dinner under any circumstances. For dinner, only water will be given to drink for 3 AED (next to the store 1.5), the size of the dinner decreased day by day when for dinner they served one can of meat with vegetables for three and our patience ran out for a slice of tomato, they made a scandal. In short, if you want to achieve something, then only scandal. Yes, be prepared for the fact that they steal here. A friend's toy was stolen from a friend. The first three days they didn’t clean it at all and couldn’t ask for a towel and toilet paper, there were no Russian speakers, there were no attendants either, there was a mosque and a construction site nearby, the cook was probably a sly Kenyan, he mows like a fool, his name is Karim, he better feed for cash. 7 thousand rubles I gave for dinners for three - money down the drain. For this money, you can have lunch and dinner at Nasser Square. And Dubai is beautiful in it, I left a piece of my heart. Turkey, Egypt, Greece rest. Shopping tips in the UAE. If you need a fur coat, then in Mosino furs you will find a review of Alexander and Alena about it on the Internet. Everything that is written there is true, I knew all this, but I’m Russian, I first went around a bunch of stores and then came to Mozino and the very first fur coat that they gave me became mine, don’t believe it when in other stores they tell you that black llama without categories is only in this store there is a black llama of 4 categories and a black lama nafa and they will explain and show you all the differences between them Yes, you need to take a fur coat not with a bank card but pay in cash or you will have to pay 2.25% for non-cash in this store and 2.5% in others. Somewhere in other stores you will be downloaded about linings with the name of the company, all this is nonsense, only in this store I met all the certificates for the full program, when you go there yourself, you will see everything with your own eyes. And then we went to Marina, Zhenya and Nicholas more than once when to cry about the fact that they are poorly fed, when just like that. And we were always met as if we were relatives and they would pour and console them and tell us where it was cheaper. But Marina was surprised, she has been in the emirates for 11 years and for the first time she hears that they are badly fed. Cut them straight about the kumaks: we are on the recommendation and you won’t get any kickbacks yet they are very afraid of the police. And if you come to Mozino for a fur coat on the recommendation, send greetings from Lena Oleg and Artem from Kirov, remind about the Velikoretsk procession, Then, if you can’t fight off the kumaks, you still get a discount They have a rule: if on the recommendation, then kumaks are not considered. Excursions: incomparable to the Indian Ocean. In Oman (there you can buy cheap Persian carpets for 150-200 dollars, but the work is factory), crab hunting, an overview of Dubai, in Abu Dhabi. Everything is fantastically interesting. It is better to buy clothes on the map in malls. Be sure to visit the Dubai Mall, there is Burj Khalifa, a 2-storey aquarium with oceanic fish, the show of singing fountains starts at 6 pm every half hour and is always different, at 6 pm fish feeding in the aquarium, visit the fish market. Good luck
