It is known that in the city of Dubai there are very few hotels with their own beach. Therefore, when choosing a hotel, tourists are guided by the convenience, comfort of the rooms and the availability of a free shuttle to the coast. And in this case, how not to think about chain hotels? After all, they have the same level of service, regardless of where the representative office is located - in Dusseldorf, Kyiv or Dubai.
The Marriott network has proven itself well. It is also popular with we althy tourists. In the cities, its hotels are located in the center, and in the resorts - in excellent green areas. In this article, we will consider the Dubai Marriott Hotel Al Jaddaf 5hotel in Dubai (UAE). In our description of rooms and infrastructure, we took into account the reviews of tourists who have recently visited this hotel.
Location
This Marriott office is located far from the sea, in the Al Jaddaf area, as the name implies. The first guests (the Dubai Marriott Hotel Al Jaddaf 5hotel opened in 2014) complained that there was nothing outside - no shops, no cafes. But Dubai is a rapidly developing metropolis. Nearby lay the largest highway of the city - Sheikh Zayed Road. There is a lot of public transport running along this interchange, so taxis are no longer the only way to get around the city.
In close proximity to Marriott's office in Dubai, iconic attractions such as the Burj Khalifa, Sheikh Zabeel's residence, the Golden Souk and the Dubai Mall are located. Tourists claim that the city center is a 10-minute drive. It is only 8 kilometers from the hotel to Dubai airport, therefore, with a collective transfer, they are brought here one of the first. The exact address of Marriott Hotel Al Jaddaf 5 is Bur Dubai, Oud Metha Road. The International Financial Center is a five minute drive away. Therefore, high-ranking businessmen often stay at the hotel.
Territory
Since the Marriott office is located almost in the center of the metropolis, surrounded by urban development, it does not have its own territory. The entire infrastructure is concentrated in a wide and imposing eight-story building.

From the pool terrace you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Burj Khalifa skyscraper.
There are 4 elevators in the wide building to prevent queues. On different floors there are restaurants, bars, Spa, gym and beauty salon. Tourists mention that the new building takes into account the specific needs of people with disabilities: there are ramps and wide doors for wheelchairs. And 11 rooms from the hotel's room stock are reserved for accommodating such guests. But Dubai Marriott Hotel Al Jaddaf 5does not allow pets, which tourists consider a disadvantage. In addition, a deposit is charged upon check-in, which for some reason depends on the length of stay at the hotel.
