Walking distance, through pedestrial zone, to Dubai Fountain, Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, Dubai Opera etc. Not all hotels named "downtown" have this advantage. On the other side buildings are under construction at the area and the noise is realy disturbing.
The hotel services and personel are pretty good. Our Junior Suite was great with views to Dubai Fountain, Burj Khalifa, Dubai Opera and, far, Dubai Frame! The room could be cleaner. Overall recomended!
TIP: choose a room with Fountain view and enjoy!
