Mercure Dubai Barsha Heights Hotel Suites And Apartments

① Location: The hotel is right by the metro exit, making it easy to find. (There are two exits on one side; one leads to the second floor, requiring a short walk, while the other opens directly onto the hotel's side entrance on the ground floor.) There's a free government-run bus service outside the hotel to Yas Island/Louvre, which you can board with a ticket. Currently, it runs once a day. ② Room facilities: Quite old, feels like it hasn't been well-maintained since it was built a long time ago. There are many guests, usually families, and the elevators are insufficient. You often have to wait a long time (there are elevators on two sides, and the one for long-term guests on higher floors can go down). ③ Other: A 500 AED cash deposit is required upon check-in. Before getting your deposit back, you'll need to allow 10 minutes for a room inspection. I recommend taking photos at check-in to document the room's condition. The hotel offers a shuttle bus to attractions, but it needs to be booked a day in advance on a first-come, first-served basis. I originally booked this hotel for its convenient location to catch the free bus to Abu Dhabi, but it's really quite dated. If you're considering it for the same reason, I'd suggest looking at other hotels nearby, as there are plenty of options within walking distance.

Everything was great. Room 3615. I'll be back again. Thanks to Zeinab and Evgenia for all their help.
