From the pros:
1) Hotel guide Svetlana (AneksTour) - this is the first huge plus! She helped with the check-in because they didn’t want to check in, all the rooms were occupied, she helped a lot, explained everything correctly!
2) The rooms are clean, spacious, decorated in oriental style, cleaned every day, towels + accessories are changed.
3) The kitchen is in the room, there is everything you need in the kitchen (Plates, cups, microwave)
4) The cuisine in the restaurant is excellent, although monotonous, but you can live a week, took breakfast + dinner (sometimes changed for lunch). There was enough food.
5) Metro Internet City nearby, walk 15 min.
6) F-mart Supermarket and Carrefour stores, F-mart is cheaper, Carrefour is bigger
7) wi-fi throughout the hotel including in the room - Free!
Minuses:
1) Check-in, they couldn’t check in until 15:00, they couldn’t really explain anything, after check-in they couldn’t be interrogated so that we could lift our suitcases, waited another hour until he went down and insistently asked again. In general, the staff are like sleepy flies, they don’t need anything (bell-boys and at the reception), here the cleaners, waiters and repairmen are quite responsive and friendly.
2) The queue for breakfast is a breeze. you can stand for 20 minutes, there are not enough places
3) Elevators are also sad, 4 elevators are constantly busy, it is quite difficult to call, especially in the morning.
The hotel has a very good location. It is located in the new district of Dubai Internet City. 5 minutes walk to the subway. I must say right away that there are only two lines in the metro - red and green. So, Internet City is the red line, station number 34. On the same line, station No. 32 Mall of the Emirates (large shopping center), station No. 25 Dubai Mall (the world's largest shopping center + the world's largest candy store + aquarium).
There is a free shuttle from the hotel to the beach every day. You must sign up for the day. The beach is called Jumeirah beach (the beach is paid - 5 dirhams per person entrance, you can also take an umbrella and a deck chair for an additional fee). Wednesday and Sunday are Women's Day. Therefore, a transfer from the hotel takes you to another beach, near the Burj Al Arab hotel. It is not equipped and we were not there. We liked the Hilton beach the most. It is not equipped, but we bought an umbrella from the supermarket + we had 2 towels. This beach is great! The water is white-blue-turquoise and not very many people. From the hotel to this beach we got by taxi (you can also take the metro - Dubai Marina). A taxi one way costs about 20 dirhams.
Farther. As for the hotel itself. Upon arrival, we asked for a higher floor - we were given 15. Our room was 1504. The windows overlook the hotel entrance (the windows do not open). The room has all the necessary bath accessories, cotton pads / sticks, razors, hair combs. All this is updated every day. Tea / coffee, sugar, cream, 2 bottles of water 0.5 each - also updated every day. There were no bathrobes and slippers, but my husband called the reception and they brought us for free! Safe in the room is also free. The bed is clean. Cleaned well and every day! Towels were changed periodically, sometimes they came across in some kind of black stains, but you need to ask and they will change you right away. The room has a kitchenette, microwave, stove, all necessary utensils, refrigerator. The entrance card was demagnetized a couple of times, I had to go down to the reception..... But in general, everything is civilized and dignified. The staff is friendly, most of them speak English.
Breakfast at the hotel is monotonous and not as good as in Turkey)). But you can eat.
Near the hotel there are two supermarkets - large and small, there are small cafes where you can eat, drink tea and smoke hookah.
Wi-fi only in the lobby, but for us it was not a problem, because. on vacation, in principle, no Internet and TV!
On the 30th floor of the hotel there is a swimming pool and a gym (free of charge). There is also one of the breakfast restaurants (second restaurant on the ground floor) and a spa.
Yet. Upon arrival, we were charged a 100 dirham deposit. On the day of departure, only 30 were returned. We were surprised and were told that it turns out that a law has now been released, according to which tourists must pay 10 dirhams per day for a room! . Like this.
In general, stock up on money, cameras and comfortable shoes and hit the road! If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them. My review of the country as a whole is in the reviews of the country).
Have a good holiday everyone!! !
I stayed at this hotel in August. As for me, it is for all 4 + *.
The hotel is new!
It has a very good location - on the border of the Al Barshi district. Nearby is the largest shopping center - Mall of Emirates and the famous ski complex Ski Dubai. Those. entertainment and shopping are within easy reach!
The beach is also close. The beach is public!
City hotel with a rooftop pool. The pool is small, but what it has is a big plus!
I really liked the rooms - in a purely Arabic style with Arabic symbols, which you are welcome.
Rooms at Auris First Central are apartments. Here you also have a kitchenette: a microwave, a refrigerator, a kettle, a standard set of dishes. The rooms also have a washing machine!!!!!! ! It really is, wow! I met this, honestly, for the first time, but it is very practical.
The food at the hotel is good, not overbearing, but quite varied.
The staff is friendly, but you need to know English better!
They were satisfied with the choice. Moreover, on the last day, our flight was postponed one day later and moved to Citymax Bur Dubai. Compared to this hotel - Auris is just a chick. Of course, there are also shortcomings, which I pointed out to the administration in the feedback form. In particular, one of the short lamps did not turn on, because sockets were not provided for it. And the rest of the room, all the furniture and interior details were new, of high quality.
Crockery (pans, pots, a set of plates, cups, forks, spoons), microwave and mini-fridge, iron and ironing board. Only sponges for washing dishes and products were not provided, the central air conditioner was poorly regulated, there was no hair dryer. On the other hand, there were a lot of necessary disposable things in branded packaging that were regularly replenished - a shaving kit, a toothbrush kit, lotion, shower gel, shower caps, a set for the care of ears, nails, a sponge for wiping shoes, disposable washcloths, slippers, threads and needles.
It’s not far to go to the metro (in appearance), but the intricate passages through the streets and travelators at the station itself are really 15 minutes, no less. There is a supermarket nearby, but you need to go around - as construction has begun right in front of the hotel. In general, the streets are not for pedestrians, but for cars.
Breakfasts are quite decent in terms of volume and quality, but they also get boring after a week.
There are rolls and croissants, pita bread and bread for toast, butter and jams, honey, cereals (breakfast cereals) for pouring milk, juices, yogurts, vegetables (cucumbers and tomatoes, olives) and ready-made salads (fruit and pickled Arabic - I did not like ). Hot dishes - potatoes, rice, pasta, legumes and beans, bacon (rarely), scrambled eggs and sausages - all the time, cold cuts - sausage and cheeses, fruits - watermelons, melons, oranges.
