We stayed at this hotel for about 10 nights. Had read about it on forehand and viewed the hotel pictures, and thought it was a descent average hotel. But it was not. This hotel is not nice at all, it is liveable and that is about it.
Location: OK. Approx. 10 minutes with cab to the public beach (which is rather nice). 15 minutes to Dubai mall, 30 minutes to Ibn Battuta mall. 10-15 minutes to Dubai Airport. All by cab.
Service: Poor. Receptionists were not eager to assist you, some did not understand standard English. Found only one/two staff members who were willing to do their job and be at our service.
Room: AWFUL! We stayed at the two bedroom apartment. The shower was really disgusting. Had to stand in the stained bathtub and try to take a shower with a showerhead that barely worked. Water was dripping from the toilet belonging to the apartment above ours. We found large areas of MOULD on the walls, which really looked disgusting. The sofas were really worn down and nasty. The carpets looked like they had never been washed. Also, the A/C-fan sounded like a helicopter.
ONLY POSITIVE: What we liked the most was probably the laundry machine which we could use at all time, without paying anything extra.
However, the cons are far more than the pros/pro.
I recommend you to only stay at this hotel for maybe one night, like a "transfer"-hotel. It is not worh the money saved to be walking around wondering how long ago the carpets were washed or not getting the service you need or not even being able to take a descent shower.
