Generally, thebhotel is in the best location, only the rooms are a bit in cheap condition for a 4* hotel in a vibrant city like Dubai. However, the staff is generally very professional and polite, with only one minor point: the room's relatively low status.
Conveniently located in the Business Bay area..just 7 mins taxi to the Dubai mall and Burj Kalifa. Citymax Business Bay offers great value for a very comfortable stay. Rooms are quiet with comfortable beds. Full breakfast offerings and very helpful staff. Onsite offers Sports bar, Asian restaurant, and 24hr coffee and snack area on ground floor. Rooftop pool...what else do you need? Great value stay.
