Good match for:

  • Shopaholics: Direct indoor access to Mall of the Emirates’s 700+ shops and dining options.
  • Adventure Seekers: Walk to Ski Dubai’s slopes and penguin encounters without leaving the block.
  • Fitness Enthusiasts: Maintain your routine in the 24/7 gym and lap the rooftop pool with skyline views.

Things to keep in mind:

  • Beach Lovers: Jumeirah Beach is 3.6 km away; you’ll need a taxi or ride-share for a seaside day.
  • Luxury Seekers: This 3-star hotel offers solid value but lacks an on-site spa and beachfront location.

Excellent experience from start to finish. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The staff were welcoming, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal specially Karla from City Cafe. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a great place to relax and enjoy good food. Everything exceeded my expectations — highly recommended!

Me and my husband had a good stay at Citymax. The location is very nice — close to everything we needed and easy to get around. The hotel offers great value for money, with clean rooms and friendly service. We would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a comfortable and affordable place to stay.

Perfect 3 Star hotel! Great location, tidy clean rooms and most importantly - wonderful professional helpful crew! Mr Farid at the reception and his crew with Eleonora and other ladies always do their best to help with everything.
