If you’re considering a trip to Dubai and have already done your hotel research, you’re aware that the city offers a wide range of lodging alternatives. To be precise, there are almost 700 of them. As a result, choosing a hotel or a place to stay is a difficult undertaking that may be intimidating and time-consuming. Fortunately, I’m here to help you solve your difficulty and provide you a few pointers to consider while narrowing down your options. You’ll be able to thank me later if you schedule an amazing tour with me. Just a thought.
Location
This one may appear to be self-evident, but it actually signifies a lot. Many hotels near the Dubai Mall/Burj Khalifa are excellent, however they are located far from the shore. Many hotels for your hotel booking in Dubai Marina, JBR, and Palm Jumeirah are fantastic resorts, however they are far from the city centre and have far away metro stations. As a result, many guests will have to rely on taxis to get about, which may be costly. So, in my opinion, choose your hotel based on the location where you want to spend the most of your time and activities, or consider splitting your stay between two distinct areas of the city. Stick to the beachy resorts if you’re not a big shopper.
Views & Noise
Hotels frequently publish stunning photographs on their websites that aren’t updated on a regular basis or shot from certain viewing points. So, while the vista you’re gazing at may be a beautiful skyline, construction may have followed, and you’re now staring at scaffolding instead. Another important thing to consider is noise pollution, which may make or break your stay if your accommodation is located near a busy road or a construction site. As a result, it’s critical to ask your hotel ahead of time whether there’s anything that might affect your stay. Formal communication is crucial to ensuring a flawless experience.
Transportation
Some hotels in the city provide complimentary transportation to designated stations for their guests. The Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates, Deira City Center, and metro stations are some of the most common stops. This is wonderful because you save money on cab fares, so you should definitely inquire about bus timetables at the hotel or concierge. Keep in mind that these timetables are not always accurate, so if you’re planning a visit to a certain destination (such as the Burj Khalifa) at a given time, allow for a buffer. In addition, most hotels charge for airport pick-ups and drop-offs, however a few 5* hotels do it for free.
Internet
‘Free High Speed Internet,’ sometimes known as WIFI, is a service provided by many hotels. What they don’t often tell is that the free WiFi is only available in the lobby, not in the rooms. So, if you want to connect from your room, you’ll probably have to sign up for one of their packages that allows you to connect numerous devices. Experts would absolutely confirm this with the hotel before making a reservation, since it might result in additional fees if necessary.
Conclusion
Many hotels on the Palm have different accommodation prices, some of which include or omit breakfast. The usual extra price per person per night for some decent hotels is roughly AED 125, which effectively covers the standard buffet breakfast + coffee/tea. Another option is to eat outside at one of Dubai’s numerous cafés, restaurants, or foodcourts. If you’re a visitor who prefers to eat as soon as they get up, the buffet breakfast is a close second, although it may be more expensive.
