Dlaczego ludzie to uwielbiają
- Excellent value for money in a pricey city
- Free shuttle bus to JBR Beach and Mall of the Emirates
- Spacious Executive Suites (65sqm) for the price of a standard room elsewhere
Szybki przegląd: A functional, slightly tired business hotel that gets the job done if you don't look too closely at the carpets.
Przejrzane przez @Grigari413: I stood at this railing for ages just staring down—the glass atrium is absolutely massive. It feels so futuristic and sleek. If you're heading to Dubai for work, this spot in Media City is perfect, though maybe not if you're scared of heights!
