About The Hotel:
With spacious, clean rooms, good breakfast, excellent location, and unbeatable price, all in all one of the best hotels in Dubai UAE.
You can get a free shuttle ride to Jumeirah Beach Park.
The York Club, is a good night-club / disco that has live entertainment, what with a rock band playing.
You can get free internet access at the E-Pub that serves a range of beverages too.
Avoid the lower floors as you can hear the disco music till the wee hours of night. I guess 7th floor upwards should be fine.
The pool on the top floor is very small to swim in, but ok to jump in and cool off during the hot season.
The bar / nightclub is filled with girls of the night, so if you're a couple, then it's best to avoid the disco.
A one-way taxi trip between Dubai International Airport and the York International Hotel Dubai should cost no more than AED 35-40.
There are at most 3 English language channels on the TV at the hotel.
The concierge services offered from the hotel are a little bit expensive, it's advisable to book directly or bargain with the concierge staff.
Restaurants, in-hotel and nearby:
The buffet breakfast at the Bank Street Cafe, in the lobby of The York International Hotel Dubai, even though limited in nature, is good value for money.
A quiet and charming courtyard cafe, the Basta Art Cafe has the best lemon and mint drinks in Dubai. The Arabic Coffee is also worth a try. Highly recommended are the potatoes and salads. It is a mile away.
The Jhonny Carinos restaurant which is a fifth of a mile away, serves you french bread, garlic and olives until your order is processed. The ambience is good and food portions are big.
The Bateaux Dubai boat ride, that's about a mile away, is a must do at night. The ambience is amazing, and the food is excellent. The chocolate fondant is really mouth watering.
