Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located near the Mall of the Emirates, making it easy to access shopping and dining options. The rooms are clean and decently sized for the price, though there was an issue with some missing food items not returned by the hotel staff. The standout feature of the hotel is the exceptional service provided by the majority of staff members, ensuring a pleasant and memorable stay.
I stayed on the 13th floor, and my room was clean, spacious, and had an extra table to relax while watching TV. The hotel is well-located, near Mall of Emirates, but the room was a bit tight for two adults and two children. The price without breakfast was AED 450, which was reasonable for the size of the room.
I had a mixed experience at cityMax hotel. The rooms were clean and quiet, providing a comfortable stay, although a bit small for our liking. The service was friendly and helpful, but I faced a disturbing incident where the staff entered the room unannounced, creating discomfort. The location was very convenient, just a short walk from the mall and metro, but the size of the parking was a drawback. The dining experience was satisfactory but lacked variety. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
The hotel is located right next to The Mall of the Emirates, making it very convenient for shopping and dining. The rooms are clean and nice, suitable for travelers without children. The service is generally good, with some room for improvement in interactions with guests. The location is the best feature of the hotel, being near various amenities and transportation options. The dining experience is satisfactory but could offer more variety. The facilities provide basic amenities for a comfortable stay.
I was thrilled with the hotel's location, just a stone's throw away from Mall of the Emirates and the convenience of the metro. The rooms were clean and beautiful, but the lack of borders on the short glass walls was a bit concerning. The friendly staff made my stay pleasant, even though some services were limited to two guests per room. The dining options were decent but could use some variety. Overall, a good value for the money.
I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel. The rooms, although not what I expected with carpeted floors, were clean and the breakfast was good and tasty. However, there was no ashtray in the room, and the English language programming was extremely limited.
The hotel's location is excellent being right behind Mall of the Emirates, with convenient access to metro and bus stations, making transportation hassle-free. Although the rooms lacked a bathtub and were impacted by noise from the nightclub and surrounding areas, their proximity to key attractions and the helpful staff added value to the stay. However, the dining options were limited, and improvements are needed in noise insulation for a truly peaceful experience.
My stay at the hotel was quite comfortable overall. The room, while cozy and clean, had a strong smell of paint or chemicals that made me feel drowsy. The location was excellent, next to Emirates Mall, but the dining options were a bit disappointing.
The hotel offers modern and very clean rooms with some providing great views across the city, but they are really really small. The service is exceptional, with staff always trying to go the extra mile for guests. The location is great, close to the Mall of the Emirates. The dining experience is good with limited variety. Overall, a comfortable stay with friendly service and convenient location.
My stay at Citymax was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were clean and had good soundproofing, providing a comfortable sleeping experience; however, they were smaller than expected. The location was excellent, being conveniently close to local attractions like the Emirates mall and metro. On the downside, the service experience was marred by an incident where I was unexpectedly disturbed by the staff insisting I check out early, leading to a disappointing encounter. Despite some drawbacks, the hotel's strategic location and cleanliness were standout features.
The hotel's location really saved the day as it's perfect for those interested in the Marina, beaches, and shopping. The rooms were clean and well taken care of, but the lighting was insufficient. The service was excellent with friendly and attentive staff. The dining experience was enjoyable with good food options. However, the bed was smaller than expected.
I had a pleasant stay in the hotel with my family. The rooms were nicely designed and spacious, making our stay comfortable. However, the condition of the rooms didn't match the internet photos, and we couldn't get a room with 3 beds as requested, which was a small inconvenience.
The hotel rooms have become a bit outdated and run down, but the extra facilities and ambiance were fantastic. It would have been even better if the view from the window didn't overlook an under-construction building. The rooms were good, clean, and located conveniently near the Mall of the Emirates.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms at a good rate with various dining options around. However, there were some maintenance issues upon check-in. The staff is efficient and the location is ideal for shopping and public transport.
I had a view of the Al Arab hotel from my room, and the amenities were basic but sufficient for my simple needs like shower and TV. The check-in process was easy, but there wasn't a designated area for working or business meetings. Overall, a modest stay with both pros and cons.
