Already in the corridor there was a musty stunning smell, as well as in the room, windows were not to open. Room was and was not properly cleaned. Beach towels you had to almost daily matters, sanitary bags there was not, beaker, was missing. Breakfast buffet was a disgrace: first fight for a seat, then queue at the buffet, a doppeltoaster for all of the guest, too few dishes available (for knives, cups, glasses and so on you had to often wait) read more

For 2 stars in the Arab area completely reasonable

For two stars you couldn't complain. 2008 built, so everything is still relatively in good condition. In the corridor and in the rooms is carpet, which was a bit of a musty smell to leave. But very much clean. Only minor flaws in the shower at the joints were already a bit to mold were to complain about. It held itself however within limits. It was now not to revolt, but yet as a part of. Tv unfortunately not a single German Send. Only English & Arabic Food: little choice, Packaged marmelade eTC. Yoghurt apples, juices were good (no concentrate ..., but completely normal fruit juices), Cornflakes 4 sorts, milk. Unfortunately no correct rolls. Only white and brown bread which one toasten oneself could. For a few days absolutely sufficient, it mainly a hotel for businessmen is. Location: good. 5 minutes metro station (the metro is a dream the toilet' s as in the four star hotel everything was clean, safe and orderly & cheap, a station for Khalifa & Dubai mall, free beach park shuttle bus from the hotel. Taxis very cheap. Short distance approximately 2 euros Mainly one is in the hotel for sleeping, because one wants much of Dubai see. Definitely: Dubai mall & at the Khalifa (in the internet buy tickets) Atlantishotel with the taxi and with the monorail back. Dubai Marina and Marina walk 7 stars hotel you should have seen. The souqs are also really nice. Absolute in addition to the Dubai mall Dubai fountains look (several times), different games. The best. Respect Friday there is always a public holiday and everything no matter where one goes is full! Desert safari with Lama tours I could recommend. This hotel I would book it again if I for a cheap price frühbucher etc. Would receive. Have 356 euros the week paid with breakfast for 2 people with JT Touristik. If you are in Dubai even seen everything then it was enough. Everything new is nice and spectacular. The contrast to the undeveloped stains and dirty corners is extremely. read more

    Our room was definitely not the biggest. But it was in very good and well maintained condition. The cleaning the room was daily thoroughly instead. The room came with a small tv, air conditioning, a small but good equipped bathroom, as well as a sufficient closet. With the storage the suitcase it was however due to the small size a bit difficult. For a city trip but it was definitely from.

    The breakfast was there whereas already again very one-sided. Coffee, tea, toast, muesli, cereals and various sorts of fruit set the rather small assortment of the hotel. For europeans is mostly everything available. After about 2 weeks it becomes however already very one-sided. On hygiene was sufficiently respected. We took merely the in the price included breakfast true.

    The location of the hotel is certainly matter of taste. The holiday Inn express Safa park is located directly on the main street of dubai, sheikh zayed road. It all depends what you in the immediate area would like to have. I personally me Dubai presented. Really it is however very spacious. The individual districts were partly also despite metro very far apart. The metro system is still not so good. You can still all sights directly reach. One is in between often to the taxi. But also this costs in Dubai absolutely nothing. In the immediate vicinity of the hotel is not really much. In shortest time takes you via metro (1 station) at the Dubai mall and burj khalifa. There can one some evenings to spend. Furthermore the hotel is nearby the Jumeira beach parks. The beautiful Safa park however is located directly on your doorstep. I try the various distances briefly to list: Deira: circa 30 minutes via metro Dubai Marina: circa 35 minutes via metro Mall of the Emirates: circa 20 minutes via metro Dubai the palm/aquaventure park: about 1 hour via metro/ taxi Burj Al Arab hotel: circa 10 minutes via taxi Jumeira beach park: 20 minutes on foot or 5 minutes via taxi The sheikh zayed road with the incredible high rise buildings is as mentioned quasi 'right' on your doorstep.

Very nice and modern hotel in Dubai. We had a non-smoking room on the first floor (I during the check in desired). The room was very modern furnished and had a large bathroom. The room was cleaned daily and newly renovated. The breakfast is rather sparse, but it is sufficient. In 5 minutes one is the metro run, the tickets are very cheap. A bus also runs. Daily Shuttles to the beach and the Dubai Mall are recommendable. We noticed, that a guest room wanted to change, that without problems folded. Our tip: Experts during the check in indicate that ... a non-smoking room, I think the smokers rooms are not so nice. read more

    Size of the room was for 2 persons you completely okay. 2 beds, flat screenTV, pleasant air conditioning, not used small fridge, free safe, telephone, separate bathroom with shower, hair dryer. There was a kettle free tea or coffee and. the room was clean and in a good condition. the upper two floors are non-smoking rooms.

    The breakfast for a two star hotel surprisingly good. It tasted and it gave something for everyone. However there are for example bread or rolls only toast. But it was fresh fruit, Quark, cheese, marmelade, coffee, juices. No eggs or just sausage, but it was not so bad for us. otherwise, there was a bar, but we didn't used have.

    6 stars for this, because it is not! No swimming pool, no entertainment, no kids club and especially, which is rare in Dubai: no disco! all together it a very peaceful hotel, to stay and breakfast take perfect is! The rest of the time you are in Dubai on the way! there is Internet computer, but subject to a charge. You can in the hotel money change, but should rather for example change in the Dubai mall, as the courses there but better are! in the fifth floor is a fitness room

    In Dubai is a good location not too easy. Either you can take a much more expensive hotel at the beach or must make reductions. this hotel is that's why very well situated, as the metro station ' business Bay within 10 minutes comfortable on foot distance. From there you are for example in only one station to the Dubai mall, where you can experience and. The metro will take you to the most important places also otherwise. in about 20 minutes one is with the taxi at the airport. the hotel is directly at the large main road going through the village, but you as a guest in the hotel don't realize. to the beach it is the public transport within tight 45 minutes. In front of the hotel is a bus stop, with the direction of the sea and the rest of the sea, on the supermarket past. Everything is possible! of course you could also at any time the most popular way to take in Dubai: the taxi. It is cheap, but you also a Extrarunde is:be careful! we have too many bus and Metro taken, because it unbeatable is cheap and you more of the town and the people easier. Just outside of the metro station ' nol ' the gray card and check. Load in the Get in a transport on the machine and out again in the step. Simple and super convenient!

The hotel is located nearby the metro and could easily be reached on foot. The breakfast buffet is plentiful and well stocked. Replies to questions will not be answered (for example, pick-up from the airport?). Taxi from the airport to the hotel about 13 euros (not as advertised 2 euros). Internet access in the rooms about 5 euros per hour. Complimentary hotel-taxi to the jumeira beach (10-14,30 o'clock). 1 (1/3 liters) beer costs in the rest. 6,50 euros! Friendly staff, but problems with Master card twice. read more

Hotel is recommendable for a short trip, but not for holiday or a family. Many smoking rooms, which also were the hallways. Breakfast very Spartan. Nice little hotel bar for a chat-top! With the taxi it is easy to get from the burj Khalifa & Dubai mall (about three €). In the same direction it after some time, a supermarket and a small snack bar, good for a snack in the evening. read more
