Hotel Dolphin, Dubai

Just four months back, exactly on this date we took the Jazeera flight to Dubai. It was a vacation after a long time as my pregnancy; Mehr’s birth kept our vacation postponing. We stayed at Dubai for seven days and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It is such a wonderful place that you feel like going again and again.

We had our flight at 12 in the afternoon, so left home at around 9.10am. There was lot of apprehensions.For the luggage; we had a lot of them as we planned to go home (India) from Dubai. Also I was not sure how MEHR would react. It was for the first time we took her on such trip. But Thank God! There was no problem, either for the luggage or with Mehr. Mehr, infact enjoyed the journey and even at the airports made friendship with lot of people. It was our first trip to Dubai. The Dubai Airport is really a big one, is also one of the busiest in the world. The driver from Hotel Dolphin came to receive us, so there was no problem.

We had been in Dubai for 7 days and stayed at this place. It is a nice hotel cum apartment and very good for Asians specially Indians. The rooms are really big, spacious, and neat and clean with an equally clean bath. The location of the hotel is also good i.e. in Meena Bazar. There are plenty of Indian restaurants nearby and the breakfast provided by the hotel is extremely good if you like Indian vegetarian food. Catering is done by a group related to a famous South Indian restaurant chain called Kamath Hotel.
The room we were staying was very clean with tasteful interiors. The room was well furnished which also includes hot plate, utensils for cooking, crockery’s, fridge, sink, iron box, locker, provisions of coffee/tea/sugar. The staff was also very helpful and professional. The location of the hotel is very good if you are looking for quick and easy access to all important parts of UAE. Free airport pickup and drop are possible with request. Hotel does not have a Bar, Night club, and definitely not suitable for Bachelors with different ideas. However, for travelers with family and budget and easy mobility being other concerns may find this hotel suitable.
