When we first entered the room we thought there had been some kind of misunderstanding. We couldn't believe that the money we paid would buy us such a big, spacious and nice room. Bed was also huge. But after double-checking we found that everything was in order.
The roof-top pool was what you can imagine. Not the biggest, but since no one else was there during our stay that didn't matter much.
The only problem was actually the magnetic key card, which we had to change twice a day. Annoying? Yes.
Another quite weird thing was the overcharging for internet (both wireless and wired). Around AED70 per day is actually a third of the price of the room.
We were surprised about how big and spread out Dubai is, and soon realized that the part of Deira where this hotel is doesn't really offer much. The climate is hot and walking is not really an option, so be prepared to go where you need with cabs or the brand new Dubai Metro.
Breakfeast was not included in our particular booking, but we had it the last day and it was really worth it. Big selection of everything you can imagine in the morning - whether you're from the Middle East or from Europe.
