Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
I arrived at 4 am with prior notice and my room was still not ready. They gave me a different room and promised to switch me later. Upon entering the room it looked very little like the images. The furniture was worn, faded and in rough shape. When I tried to take a shower the water scalded me and I burnt my arm. It would not cool. Additionally the shower quickly flooded. When I complained they found another room for me. I was told that the weather caused the hot water. At 4 am it was hot enough to burn. Upon going to the new room I was able to get cool water but the shower head was broken and would raise above my chest. And again it flooded, to which maintenance said they all flood. I got about 30 minutes of sleep on the rock hard bed before I packed up and checked out. Moving to a different hotel.

Excelente experiencia

Mi reciente estadía en el Hotel Citymax Al Barsha fue una experiencia verdaderamente grata. Desde nuestra llegada, fuimos recibidos con una atención cálida, profesional y llena de hospitalidad. Un agradecimiento muy especial para Leonora, Stella y Fatiha, tres joyas en la recepción que nos trataron como auténticos reyes, siempre con una sonrisa y una disposición admirable. Y, por supuesto, gracias al manager Ahmed Farik, por liderar un equipo que realmente se esfuerza por brindar un servicio de clase mundial. El lobby del hotel tenía un aroma encantador que invitaba a quedarse, a relajarse, a disfrutar. El ambiente era acogedor y moderno, ideal tanto para viajeros de negocios como de placer. El desayuno fue excelente, y todo el personal del restaurante nos atendió con una amabilidad espectacular, atentos a cada detalle. La única observación que tengo es respecto a las camas en las habitaciones dobles, que me parecieron un poco pequeñas, como si estuvieran pensadas más para niños que para adultos. Fuera de eso, todo lo demás fue impecable. La ubicación del hotel es lo mejor que tuvimos, llena de restaurantes, tiendas de compras y una cercanía de dos Mall de los más conocidos de Dubai Emirates y Dubai Mall Gracias por hacer de nuestra visita a Dubái una experiencia aún más especial. ¡Espero volver pronto y recomendaré el hotel con entusiasmo a todos los que viajen a esta hermosa ciudad! — Francisco Montás Echolatino Viajes

Reasonable for a one night stay. Staff was helpful. Rooms are somewhat small, and smell a bit. We arrived late after midnight and the Room wasn't ready. We had to wait for a while until the room is ready. I didn't like the idea of that extensive ID verification for every one staying, but it seems a common thing among hotels in the region.
