Chelsea Gardens Hotel Apartments – Dubai Hotel Extraordinaire

The Hotel was just about a 45 minute drive from Dubai International Airport. We took a taxi which is available aplenty at the airport. The moment we got there we were highly impressed with the staff. The receptionist, Jiji was helpful, polite and hospitable. She would answer all our questions promptly and also helped us book concierge tours and tickets.

The hotel was well located in a suburban area with gardens all around; this prevented the hustle bustle of the city from getting to us. But it was close enough to the centre making travel, less time consuming. The metro station was also pretty close to the hotel, and going to any place was not an issue.

The ‘Ibn Batutta Mall’ with its lovely architecture was just a walk away from the hotel. The food court at the mall had almost all the famous American food chains and restaurants. There were plenty of grocery stores around the area too.

Apartments at the hotel were spacious and modern looking, cleanliness was maintained throughout. There was also a kitchen with all the amenities one might need such as a refrigerator and microwave. This made it convenient because Emilio being a fussy boy, my wife would have to make him food sometimes. We also requested an extra bed for Emilio which the hotel provided without any difficulty.

Bathrooms are of an appropriate size for a longer stay especially in the deluxe studio apartment that we had rented. The swimming pool was the best part for Emilio and we all went swimming almost every day we were there. The restaurant in the hotel called the ‘Wharf’ serves authentic Asian and European delicacies, we were quite happy about the taste and quality of the food there in addition it was reasonably priced. Wifi connection was available throughout the hotel including the public areas and it was of a fairly good speed.

Only once did we make our own breakfast, on all other days we ate the delightful breakfast served by the hotel itself. Each day they served a different menu for breakfast, which is quite rare in most hotels.

Our entire stay was a pleasurable and unforgettable one mainly because of the homely feeling the Chelsea Gardens Hotel Apartments radiates. We carried with ourselves only good memories from this stay, at this beautiful and warm Dubai Hotel.
