The hotel is in puncto cleanliness the worst you can experience! Here smells of smoke, the rooms are filthy and dirty. The carpet was the last time upon opening vacuumed. The breakfast buffet unbearable since the staff not afterwards came. Everything is empty and dirty. The tables with high turnover of patrons is having not wiped and everywhere sticks it. We are glad this soon to get away. Stay away! Here no one should check-in. read more

We were at the hotel for 4 days accommodated, and for the period it is very recommendable. The location is really good, since there directly at the metro station is located, the we however never used it, because the taxi in Dubai is always fairly cheap. We had overnight stay and breakfast booked, which quite rich has been. To the beach it is a piece, however is the not a problem, because the hotel a free shuttle bus-service offers. The pool located on the roof, is not too big, however always good for a cooling with over 40 °C. the ... loungers are not the most comfortable (wooden pool chairs without cushions ), however for couple hour completely okay. For a city -hotel in Dubai very reasonable price is the cassells Al barsha recommendable nonetheless. read more

The breakfast was the absolute no-go! If something fresh then it was the toasted toast, everything else was not fresh. The bread was dry, the croissants hard, everything else was not very appetizing. Coffee gave it only from bags to brew. The cleanliness left much to be desired, food was on the floor, tables not cleared. The room was every day 'clean' whereas one might imagine that the carpet never vacuumed was. In general it was at night also rather noisy. Regardless of tourist the time wanted to sleep there was unfortunately not. The fridge had unfortunately also not chilled. ... There was also on the first week of vacation unfortunately no sun screens on the roof terrace, one had it almost not work in the sun. The pool could have been a cleaning stand. Four stars the hotel has absolutely not deserved! read more

Nice city hotel, for short stays in Dubai very suitable. For longer stays but i would another hotel recommend. The food was in this hotel not good the atmosphere in the dining room was very bad. There were loads of excursion possibilities and the shopping mall, and the Burj Al Arab is in the more immediate vicinity. Also from the hotel roof where the pool is you have a wonderful view on the Burj Al Arab and the ski hall. read more

The hotel is very central in the town. A few -minute walk away is the metro, very recommendable the best a day ticket ( about 4 €) buy then you can back and forth drive as you like. From there one has a great view in the skyline. The main stations are all driven to. Opposite the hotel located just a supermarket the 24 hours was open and a few steps there is further a Kentucky. The Emirates mall is after one station away. If you palm island or to sails hotel best a cab is very good and reasonably ... priced. We are definitely coming again! read more

This hotel I can not really recommend it. Dubai so many other hotels to offer, that you definitely not this must book. We booked it directly in the city nearby and changed the hotel after 4 days to at the beach from Dubai to be. Since one also from there (near Dubai Marina - hotel Amwaj rotana on Jumeira Beach - this is recommendable! - see my review) quick into the city is this was unnecessary. The location is so not bad, since directly opposite a Metro Station is. Apart from that is the breakfast not particularly good, there was ... the same every day and it was rather carelessly displayed. So rather another hotel book or right on the Jumeira Beach. Apart from that is Dubai in any case worth a trip, great city which one really must have seen! Which from a desert was created is amazing! read more

We had in this hotel for three nights a junior suite extra bed for our daughter booked. On arrival we were once again on the extra costs for the extra bed pointed out, even though we now time extra had booked. In the room was then booked bed, everything other but it was only two persons interpreted. Towels etc. The extra bed only a blanket and no duvet! What us at cleanliness expected is to hardly believe for a four star hotel. Hair on hairs in the bath, Dust bunnies in the gästeklo, vacuuming non-existent, old plastic bags from the ... previous person in the closet, only a few things to call. Bad was the hallway (2nd floor) there cigarette filters found etc. On the carpet and all three days. The cleaning service must really a seriously problem with the eyes have. We can therefore only the tip, this hotel not to select, if you a bit clean like. As the latter still. Beware, that you forget. My daughter its has Adidas flip-flops under the bed forget. On demand in the hotel yet on the day of departure, these were of course not found. (are probably still there, but nobody noticed. ) read more

    We had a room on the first floor with a view of the dark, dreary inner courtyard. Absolutely no wellbeing atmosphere. The size is totally sufficient. Cleanliness can already much to be desired. It was cleaned daily and refilled, but you can sometimes not see. Tv only english and arabic. In the age of satellite. -technology more than questionable. The fridge the mini bar made its purpose no honour. The drinks were not chilled. It was also partly at this checkkartenthematik with you when you enter the room the electric circuit closes. For a country with such outside an absurdity! The bathroom had already better days. I would have no tiefenkontrolle with uv lamp to do that. In the room itself there was a kettle. Instant coffee and tea was available. Also a bottle of water on begrüßungstag was available. In summary-the cleanliness was there, but it is much better.

    First - we had only booked breakfast. And unfortunately i must say-it could only be full the question. Everyday the same. If you the sausage as sausage declared, then there were two kinds of. Cheese - with hard edges. Jams, honey, butter, toast, hot kitchen (for us to the partial indefinable). Everything else we couldn't rate. The staff for breakfast was hopelessly overburdened. We think, that the nature and white the different nationalities the hotel guests a stock had. In peace breakfasts was not possible. The table with food, the tables itself and also the area with drinks looked partly from, like on the battlefield. One came the waiters not afterwards this chaos to eliminate, to the other benamen also some guests very doubtful. We were at the end glad, only with breakfast 'bedient' to be.

    The staff are always anxious, helpful and friendly. The offered free wi-fi, emerged letztentlich only for 30 minutes per day.

My complaint about the not cooling fridge one came in, but it was not really turned off.

    This review is our alleged expectation. There is a gym what we didn't use, but actually tidy appeared. The pool area on the roof is pro forma reasonable sun, loungers, warm pool.

The whole area is rather small - based on the number of hotel guests - and impersonal.

    The hotel is located in the sheik zayed road-this is a great main street - on the from the beach abgeneigten page the street. The general environment is inviting definitely not for relaxation a. Unfinished area with many open spaces and construction works. Traffic wise is Dubai quite well communicated. For metro - a fully automated metro-there is immediate near a zusteigemöglichkeit. The station is called 'sharaf dg'. From there one comes in Dubai actually everywhere now, since the ticket until the penalty applies. A good streckennetzplan receives one at the zentralhaltestelle -with the metro until 'al ghubaiba'. Apart from that there are everywhere taxis, the cheap and safe their guests from a to b. You can go shopping in the immediate area. Opposite the hotel is a small supermarket and in 10 minutes on foot you are in the large 'Mall of the Emirates'. There, there are everything your heart desires. From the hotel there is also a free shuttle bus to the beach.

    Room as already described, were quite large, we had enough room. A balcony we had not and the view was not the greatest in the backyard! All in all we were with the rooms content, the bathroom was clean. The already mentioned carpet it was not the best more. Apart from that you had a small mini bar, which we have not used have( as mentioned- supermarket opposite), as well as tea and coffee and a bottle of water free on arrival. A safe is also available. The bathroom has plenty of things, from soap, shower gel, toothbrushes, Sewing kit..., whatever filled will you should use.

    There were different restaurants for breakfast, dinner or snacks. Since we only breakfast had, we have only this used. It was absolutely sufficient, of all was something available, as cheese/sausage, jams, sweet Particles, warm food (also from day to day time changing), cornflakes. It was more like typical of the country, which also okay is. At the peak moments it was however really quite full and the waiters had problems behind to come, such as for example Plate fill, and other things evenly. But there are often elsewhere also. to cleanliness in the restaurant is to say, that already constant Olives or something on the floor rum was.

    So friendly was the staff in general actually always, as we had absolutely no problems. However we had for example problems with the electrical connection (TV and a Hauptsteckdose did not more). Once we know given had, it was fixed immediately. But when we later back on the room returned, it was broken again. When we then another answer given had, came however nobody again... We had a week a TV and an outlet was missing to us also. Even if now not uunbedingt a TV required perhaps, since only English and Arabic channels, it is just to service the reasonable tasting or should there be a larger problem be, at least to give. Furthermore we were on the day of departure already 5:45 A. M. picked up. One day before I extra asked, whether one already early breakfast can get or at least one volunteered. That was not a problem, we were given a box promised. But on the morning as our driver came and I then at the front desk asked, were no boxes packed. One said us, we would have since 4:00 hours in a separate restaurant for breakfast. Really great! If I don't extra even asking!

    The pool we have also repeatedly times used, which was clean, pleasant warm( compared to the sea, what glacial cold was), as well as still a small jacuzzi had. Sun screens there were only 3 piece, as you had bad luck if you wanted and came too late. Beach chairs there was always and large beach towels you also every day freshly received, if you wanted. My friend has the fitness studio 2a 3 times used it, which he very satisfied was.

    By the nearby Metro station 'sharaf DG' one is good to the city. The metro stops all couple hundred-meter and you can have it up in the old town drive. To the beach one comes however only with the taxi, what cheap in Dubai. It is a city hotel and that is it to the beach a few kilometers. The mall of the Emirates to on foot after about ten minutes, or even with the metro. A beautiful shopping mall, where you could also eat well. in front of the hotel is a small supermarket, where you can get everything you could possibly need, including a few restaurants are in the immediate vicinity.

    Directly with the hotel around the corner the metro station was sharaf DG, from where you can about 30 minutes in the town center ( for example dubai creek) drives. also the airport with this Metro very easy to reach. there is always a taxi waiting, with the you cheap and fast into town and to the beach brought. the mall of the Emirates is only a short walk away. There you can shop and food, what your heart desires.

  • December 2011
I had for the inexpensive city hotel 'cassells Al barsha' decided (Al barsha district). This is a newer mid-range hotel, and has the advantage, directly across from the metro station ' Sharaf DG' to be( footpath five minutes), as well as only 1 metro stop away from the new 'mall often the Emirates' (metro station of the same name). The distance from the coast (burj Al Arab, the palm, etc. are only about a ten minute drive. To the old part of town/creek (with the metro) about 25 minutes. The hotel has spacious, air conditioned rooms, large comfortable beds, otherwise ... functional equipped, flat screen tv (no German channels, and some English channels Arabic), spacious bathroom with a tub/shower). 1 big bottle of water, tea and coffee as' Compliment' free. The staff at the front desk was very helpful, in spite of the early arrival at 8.30 o'clock my room immediately refer. The city telephone network can be reached from the room with the prefix '9', '0' usually a before the Dubai-telephone number prefix. The international dialling code for Dubai is '+ 971' the breakfast is rather for the Arab taste turned off, I have only one times taken. On the rooftop, is a small pool with jacuzzi. Opposite the main entrance is a small supermarket, where appropriate. The hotel lies immediate (but not audible) of the artery of Dubai, Sheikh Zayed road, the, the eight-ten lane crosses the city. In Southwest leads the street highway the direction of Abu Dhabi, in north-east direction will take you to 'old town' to 'creek'. Parking at your route the most spectacular skyscrapers, as well as most of the metro stations of the 'red line'. To the airport terminal 1 about 35 minutes drive, in the old part of town around about 20 to 25 minutes (Metro), to the sea/beach/palm/public burj Al Arab about about 10 to 15 minutes (taxi). The luxurious domiciles near the beach are, of course, expensive (and shielded). The '7-star hotel' burj Al Arab is located in immediate nearby the imposing 'jumeira beach hotel' with the wild Wadi water park next door usable, then the hotels '' Salam 'and Mina a' al Casar '. On the artificial island 'the palm' is located at the upper end (with taxi or with the new metro line (privately, not with the usual metro map and) reachable) the impressive and worth seeing ' Atlantis' hotel with its many, even for non-hotel guests usable leisure facilities. In front of the entrance to the 'palm' beach chairs at the beach luxury resorts to the 'one & only royal mirage', '', 'le Meridien', 'habtoor grand resort' and 'Ritz Carlton Hilton Dubai jumeirah'. A bit further away, close to the Dubai Marina, the 'Grosvenor pants'. On the palm: the resort of ' Atlanti hotel'. read more

A budget hotel in the AL barsha district, two minutes by car to mall of the Emirates (Skidubai). New hotel- therefore for the taxi driver to find extremely difficult. Lobby great, rooms are large and clean. Bathroom with bathtub, Bidet and toilet, Beauty products, be renewed every day. Tea and coffee making facility. No balcony room windows can not be opened (only tilting) due to AC. Breakfast was very poor. Only Nescafe, scrambled eggs tasted like chlorine, but for this price of 216.00 for 4 nights inclusive FB you don't moaning. read more

large nice equipped rooms with mini bar, hair dryer, iron, Ironing board, kettle with tea and coffee. If You alcohol would like, should duty-free, you get alcohol only in the hotel and it is very expensive! Location: ideally for excursions -tram right outside the door. To mall of Emirates 500 meters only. Small cheap supermarket directly opposite. Kentucky Fried chic restaurant approximately 100 meters. The tours exit G the Mall of Emirates (directly at the Kempinski hotel) be booked (www. bigbustours. Com) inclusive city map and brochures. the big bus tour (about 44 euros) to make, you can get off ... at any stop, look and next bus (10 minutes all) re-enter. Dune dinner safari is also a real experience. In the times of Emirates March February/a very good (sales) shopping. On the second floor there were plenty of opportunities to eat (about 5-10 euros). February/March best travel time is, however in the evenings you will need a jacket. In the summer it was very hot. (40-50 °C) to relaxation is the hotel's pool oK- however there are very few beach chairs and umbrellas. if you wanted to go to the beach, the jumeira beach park, because there are beach chairs and shade places (taxi about 4 euros) read more

New opened hotel, friendly organization of the spacious rooms. Cleanliness left a lot to be desired( example in the bathroom was still the Bohrstaub from entering the hooks), staircase( escape route) full of dirt from the building (dabs.), room was not cleaned every day or beds made, curtain part already off the rails. If you, however, the boy fresh towels or raised the bed sheets wanted to have changed, it was done immediately. breakfast: that a lot must be exercised, it has become very clear. The whole drain, the re-filling, cleaning the tables. Work not yet really. if you ... ' defects' life and this can handle, the hotel is highly recommended. However, if you are a perfectionist, he should better stay away. read more
