Very convenient location: the metro is a five-minute walk away, the bus is a five-minute walk in the opposite direction from the metro. The store is also a five-minute walk to the left of the subway.
The staff is polite, friendly and helpful (especially the guys who clean the rooms), but they don't speak Russian.
The breakfast buffet is delicious and quite varied.
The rooms are new and clean. Tea, sugar, water, kettle, refrigerator, toothbrush, slippers, free safe and free wi-fi. Of the disadvantages, I will only note that there is no sash in the shower and therefore, after taking a shower, the entire floor is wet.
Transfers every day to Kite Beach, Dubai Mall and some other mall. Ask for the schedule at the reception. They are taking a bus for 29 people. There is no record for the transfer, so there is a microchance not to get on it (there or back).
There is a swimming pool! But it is located in the neighboring Novatel. You can ask at the reception how to get there.
Pros: the most convenient hotel for a business trip (especially when working at WTC), good and varied breakfasts, a pleasant veranda of the hotel and friendly staff. Close to the metro and the city center, there is an evening bar and restaurant, nearby there are many cafes for different budgets.
Cons: the shower works terribly (unless you like the contrast of ice and flame, room 638), in some rooms there is practically no pressure in the shower (colleagues were on the 4th floor), strong audibility and a very cramped room.
