Overall stayed in an 1 bedroom apartment in Swissôtel Living Al Ghurair from 6 days. Nothing to complain about. Security- Awesome, can use card to enter or an approved mobile app. Breakfast spread - very good, starting from India to English to Lebanese. 1 bedroom Apartment has a very large drawing room, island kitchen with pots and pans, spoons, coffee machine, large double door fridge, microwave, dish washer, electric 4 plate stove, cups, plates, all bells and whistles provided. One bedroom with king bed, walking closet and a very large with tub bathroom. One medium common bathroom. One very large balcony. And yes smoking is allowed in balcony. Centralised AC. Cleaning is done everyday. They wont wash utensils but they will make the bed and clean the dustbins and vaccum the room. They will ask if you need them to clean the room. Amenities wise you will have swimming pool, spa. Spa if taken from front desk, is charged less. Area wise ground floor is connected to Al Ghurair mall so you can just walk in to carrefour and purchase any items you need. Also have dinner in food court. Deira Area is a bustling place so you will have local shops for purchasing and any cabs like uber required comes in 3 mins max. Sort of centrally located for many touristy places. Expect to spend in uber average 50 AED for any trip. Located 10 mins just from airport too. You can keep safely in concierge your luggage and roam around city. Please do expect check in to happen at 4.00 PM for apartments and those are in high demand and are always full. I reached at 11.00 AM, but couldnt get one to be ready till 4.00 PM. Then i realised its because the apartment is huge like own house and its really takes 3-4 hours to clean. People are really really courteous and helpful. All in all awesome place to stay and i will definitely prefer staying again considering the hospitality, place, location and options i got staying in Swissotel this time.
