Reviews
No coffee available in the room. Lack of stock in the bar.
The coffee shop only had large cups and on several visits through the week it was one member of staff serving in the morning but they also had to deal with breakfast in the resto so had to wait a few times.
Per day rates were shocking because there was an event on in town which I was not attending so it's unfair when everyone has to pay a price hike for such things.
To be fair on one point the hotel I believe is closing down which would explain shirt stocks.
We had a good and amazing vacation
The staff are amazing and welcoming. Mr Maxwell was so kind and sympathetic he used to clean our room on time and he could provide extra amenities to our room.
He is really hardworking person.
The location of the hotel is close to the metro and close to Mall of Emirates
Hope to be back soon
One thing to note is the location—while the hotel is about a 15-minute walk from the nearest metro station, it is still manageable if you're comfortable walking or using taxis. It takes around 30 minutes to reach the city center by car, so it's a good balance between affordability and accessibility.
Overall, I recommend Ibis Al Barsha for travelers who are looking for a cheaper stay and don't mind being a little farther from central Dubai. Great value for the price!
