“Great Value If Booked Online Only”

MiNC Waterfront Apartments

Apr 20, 2008
3/3 found this review helpful

Great find, based in the Bur Dubai area next to the creek. Excellent apartments. The area is a little out of the way if you are looking for Beaches and shopping malls. The apts are a 10minute walk from the main banking street which has Burjuman shopping centre on it. A few cafes and electricals also. Walking the other way for 25mins is the Creek market, Museum and old town.

Opposite the apts is a small corner shop type supermarket and behind that a mosque. This is more a residential area and very few cabbies know where it is (tip. tell the cab you are going to Oasis Court hotel and apts, its on the same street)

As for the apartments, on entrace a small but very cool and neat reception area, always with 2 staff so never any waiting. allocation to a room is very quick a form to fill and away you go. 4 floors and 2 lifts. he one bed apartments are amazing, one large lounge/dining area, very large bedroom with en suite bathroom, kitchen and seperate toilet in the hall. All marble and tile. The kitchen has all the mod cons, fridge/freezer, cooker, microwave, washer/dryer etc. Room cleaned daily, very thorough normally with 2 staff. Air con is a littl ropey but cool enough, ours leaked the first night because they tell me i made it too cold !!

We never had breakfast in the apts so i cant comment there. The pool on the rooftop was great, sun hits it at 07.00 and lasts all day till about 19.30, there are only 6 sunbeds and the pool is rather small but while we were there, every morning we topped up for 2/3 hours and we were the only ones there and the same in the late afternoon.

The gym, also on the 4th floor, was well equipt and again always empty.

There is no free internet as such, however bring your own laptop as the wifi is free, otherwise the nearest internet is in the burjuman shopping mall in the cafe on the top floor called u&me and they have 3 laptops, not always working. You can blag it in the Oasis Court Hotel down the road and pay 5dhs for 30 mins but if they ask if you are a resident and you cant lie then they will say no ! It worked a few times for me.

Staff were helpful and polite always and reasonably well informed.

If you are travelling to sights; Juneirah Beach park is 25 mins cab ride (after rush hour over) and will cost about 20dhs, Deira City Centre (shopping, the best one i think) is 15mins away and 15dhs, Jebel Ali Airport about 1hr and 80dhs and Dubai intl airport 15mins and 20dhs

The apartments will arrange your airport collection, the driver will wait just outside the sliding doors with a name board for you and take you for free to the accomadation. A 20dhs tip is good.

All in all absolutely no complaints whatsoever, I have stayed all round Dubai, including the Jumeirah Beach Hotel and as much as that hotel is plush, it had nothing I would want to pay to go back for. The apartments would be my first choice again.

Booked online for a 1 bed apt was 350dhs per day, walk in price was 950dhs, always book online.

“Great stay”

MiNC Waterfront Apartments

I stayed at this hotel for 5 nights with my husband and baby. I was pleased with the hotel apartment. We stayed in a studio which had a full size kitchen with cooking utensils and silverware and washing machine/dryer combo. I found this to be very helpful in being able to do my baby's laundry and prepare food. However there was no soap for dishes/laundry and had to provide for self - but this is a minor cost.

I found the hotel staff helpful and friendly. Any request we made was generally quickly addressed.

The areas that were not too great was that the hotel was difficult to locate it would be helpful if the apartment hotel helped with directions. But once we figured out the landmark to use in describing the hotel there were no problems (BTW the landmark is Oasis hotel).

Secondly getting a taxi could be quite a chore. And when we asked the hotel to call a taxi for us we were told that they were pretty sure that the taxi would not come...So we always just had to get on the street and wait for a taxi which was not always easy to do.

Lastly we did get a complimentary pick up and drop off to the airport as was promised.

There was no restaurnat but there are a choice of menus to order from. However you shouldnt be very hungry when you place the order as you would have to wait awhile!

Mar 18, 2008

we stayed in the hotel appartments for 2 days . we had booked through thier website and was assured we would be picked up by some one from airport ..the car did not arrive so we took a taxi to the hotel for 30 dhs.on arriving we asked the receptionist abt the car, and was replied that she was not told to send a car ...then we where told that a cab would be there to take us to ,one of thier other properties near mall of emirates since the single bed room we had booked was not available
at that point i lost my patience and after refusing to move from the hotel we were put in a studio appartment for the night and was assured to change to a 1 bedroom the next day .
as though it was a favor to us we were was refunded 30 dhs for the smaller appartment .As promised we were not changed to a bigger room the next day ...although at that point we did not care .the studio was clean and neat .although thay have a full functioning kitchen ,and had a coffee maker we were not given any essentials for making cofee .we were asked to buy coffee and sugar if we needed to .
there was no communication between the receptionists and the male receptionist in the day was pretty arrogant .

4/4 found this review helpful

We booked with the Hotel website www.mincapartment.com, we were picked up from the Airport for free, welcomed by friendly staff, room was clean and the service was always with a smile.

Hotel is located at the centre of shopping area.You can get to Burjuman shopping mall for just walk the steet to a get anything with in 10- min. Airport is 15-20mins away. Can you belive the Hotel provides free Internet.

I will come back again but i want to check out the new Dubai in my next trip they have one more hotel near i guess.
