Al Manar Hotel Apartments
3.1/514 Reviews
Deira
The location is actually far away, in the north of the airport, the hotel does not care about the transfer, let yourself take a taxi. As a result, the taxi one-way 65 dirhams is more than 122 yuan. Two hundred and five round trips. The big bed room is two single beds put together, I sleep two single beds by myself? In general, it is better to live in a nearby five-star hotel with breakfast and pick-up.

Panorama Hotel Bur Dubai
3.4/583 Reviews
Bur Dubai
I lived in the hotel from January 25 to February 3, 2022. I booked another hotel, upon arrival I spent the night in it, it turned out that the conditions were poor. By chance, I saw the Panorama hotel on the way, went in and asked if the room was available. They answered, yes, they showed me the number. Spacious, more than I lived in a 4-star hotel before. And there was a balcony! And a view of the city! Definitely what we need. I was satisfied with everything during my stay. There were 5 towels for me alone! They cleaned up great. I attached a note with my wishes to the door, when I returned the room was in order! Kettle, water, soap, shampoos, slippers - everything is ok. The location is excellent - near the Metro, several shops, everything you need is at hand, within walking distance. WestZone supermarket, there is ready-made hot food until 1 am. The only thing the hotel doesn't have is a shuttle to the beach. I went to the next metro station AlGubaiba, there by bus N8 to any beach, to La Mer about 20 minutes, to Jumeirah or Marina about 45 minutes. I’m happy with the hotel, it’s quite possible to stay there on my next visit!
