Zabeel House By Jumeirah

We visit Dubai and stayed at the Zabeel House by Jumeiral on the Greens. The hotel was very beautiful and clean. The hotel staff was very friendly and professional. They worked very hard to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Out room was comfortable and cleaned daily. We had a safe and refrigerator that came with two bottles of complimentary water daily. The electrical outlets required an international plug adapter, but the hotel provided one when requested. There was no iron or ironing board in out room, but they were delivered to our room upon request. The shower had a rain fall shower head and this made taking a shower very pleasant every day. The hotel restaurant was great and we enjoyed eating the variety of meals daily. The lobby had sufficient seats for sitting to relax and read magazines or newspapers. In Dubai the currency exchange rate is $3.65 dirhams for every american dollar. The weather was great every day and the city is very clean and safe to travel about. If you visit Dubai, the airplane ride from the east coast is 12 hours going and 14 hour returning. Dubia is 9 hours ahead of the USA. We flew on Emirates Airlines and the service was great. You will not need any portable DVD players because there are over 1500 movies, tv and sports shows to select from. The meals provided by the airline was great. If you visit Dubai, I would strongly advise you to sign up for the guided tours if you want to learn about the history of Dubai, its people, culture and religion. There are desert excursions, camel rides, dinner cruises, Barbecues and belly dancing. If you enjoy going to the mall, then a visit to the Mall of the Emirates which is the world's largest mall with an indoor ski slope is a must.

Rooms are large, clean and good overall. Could use more storage space - we stayed 5 nights with 2 people. 5 min. walk to grocery and small mall; and 10 min. walk to metro station. The location is far away from all major tourist areas, close to the plam Island. In Dubai, most places can get there with Metro. The Restaurant breakfast changes a bit daily, not same like most others. There is also a French bakery cafe right next door

Loved it. Staff is great, love the casual look and feel of the hotel, witht he Jumeirah style service. Perfect blend for an easygoing service. Will come back for sure as it s very convenient from abu dhabi.
