There is definitely better. Review Hampton Inn Al Barsha Dubai

If you ended up on this page via search engine looking for information about this hotel you should know that there is much better in town in every respect, and if you are wondering why I happened upon it the reasons are basically 3:

1. Each time I go to a different hotel, just to review it
2. I needed to sleep in a Hilton hotel Because I want to maintain the Diamond status
3. Why I was in town for the AirShow And I wanted to be as "close" as possible to the event location

Having made that necessary introduction, let us move on to the actual review.

Reservation

I booked via app, this year I came long with the stays needed to renew status, also accomplice to the poor Hilton Honors promos, and so I came down almost to the last.

The price for one night was 158€, obviously inflating the prices of this facility is the season and the presence of the world's most important aviation fair, sleep for example at the DoubleTree M Sqaure It cost significantly less, but the location was not suitable. for my needs.

Location

The area of Al Barsha, is a practical and well-connected neighborhood, ideal as a base for exploring the city but far from 5-star hotels and starred restaurants. The hotel is a 5-minute walk from the subway stop.

It develops behind the Mall of the Emirates, one of the most famous shopping malls in Dubai, to understand the one that has the ski slope inside.

It is a quiet residential area but close to major thoroughfares and the metro, allowing quick access to Downtown Dubai, Marina and major attractions.

Check-in

The facility is located at an intersection in a neighborhood that is not at all fancy, but this should not be seen as a problem in Dubai; in fact, it is a plus.

In less than five minutes I had my key, and after a quick scribble on the tablet I was on my way to the room.

The room

Forget the Dubai luxury, upgrades, and designer rooms found at other facilities in the city.

This is at 100% a Hampton Inn, that is, a low-cost sign as far as Hilton hotels are concerned. That is why I say that if paid more than 80€, unless it is New Year's Eve, it makes no sense to choose this facility.

In just a few square meters they put everything you could possibly need, including mega TVs that I think I never turn on when I travel alone.

There is a window overlooking the life below, an empty frig bar, and a fresh water tapper.

Also essential is the bathroom. Maximum output, minimum expense.

The hotel

There is space on the ground floor to wait for careem or uber, but not much else. In any case, everything is nice and neat.

There is a small pool on the roof, count the number of cribs to guess the size, which is useful if you are traveling with children to let them blow off steam after a long day in the desert.

There is a gymnasium, for those who just don't want to go running around town.

While the restaurant is on the second floor and this is where breakfast is served

Breakfast

Hampton Inn branded hotels offer breakfast to all guests included in the room rate, no need to have a status, book a specific rate, simply included.

Even here, however, the quality may vary from hotel to hotel. In Italy it may not be top notch, while in other places above average.

Let's say we were average here.

In conclusion

The price of this night of mine, for this type of hotel, is obscene. Of course they are in Dubai, but here really the cost of the room was too high for what this hotel has to offer compared to all the other n thousand hotels here.
