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.
