@@mahimajain1958 how long you stay makes no difference to what is free or not. But for sure swimming pool, kids club, gym and shuttle to the beach is free. Daily drinking water in the room too. If you are gold member or higher and you book directly with the hotel you will also get a free drink or 2 and of you sre platinum member you will get a bowl of fruit 1 time. Hope that helps!
Nice to know there's a kind of budget hotel.. I've watched this vid. few times already, well explained and your replied to comments quite a guide.. Im just wondering if you have free access to their pool?
The price per night is much more than $44. In Booking it is around $120. Could you please explain how did you manage to get this very low price? The video is wonderful. Thank you.
Hi Humaidb! I stayed there in May so perhaps it was just a low season rate and it was also short notice so maybe a flash sale ontop of that! I literally searched on google hotel search less than a week in advance and found that rate. I can imagine the rate will go up after september and over winter because of a lot more tourists around! But try other OTAs like agoda, trip.com etc Also remember if you don't book directly you cannot expect to get accor benefits like upgrades and free drinks unless you are veryyyyy lucky.
Yes they asked for a credit card to make a credit reservation/deposit. I can't remember how much but I think around the value fo 2 extra nights. I have no idea how long it took to get the deposit/cancel the reserved credit but usually it takes 2 weeks unless you ask the hotel to cancel the credit reservation when you check out then it's instantaneous. I have never paid cash deposit so I can't tell you how that works.
Thank you for the video. We also stayed at the mercure in Barsha. We also enjoyed our stay there. Just the pool was a little disappointing compared to other hotels. Btw do you book always with the hotel sites, or how do you profit from you membership status?
@@yls5837 Hi, the pool Area was kind of old and oppressive. Also the Water in the pool did not have the clarity which I usually know from Pools in Dubai.
Basically there are actually 2 hotels in the building both called mercure al Barsha but one is residences and one is suites. The residences are older and on lower floors. The suites are these ones. If you book directly on the accor website you can see both. But when you book through 3rd party sometimes it's unclear what you will get! So book directly if you want to be sure!
@@doolyb also sorry was the pool free to use if staying at the hotel for a week? Or additional cost? I just read somewhere need to book it everyday and pay? 😭😭 is this true?
I'm not sure, we did not eat at the restaurants when I stayed there or have breakfast. We went out to eat and bought snacks from the shop. But according to others the food is good.
@@elyasalzyoud-dh9cm no but for some reason I had booked a twin room by mistake first. They then kindly changed it to king room (with an even better view)
Once the balcony door is closed you can barely hear a thing. If the AC is on then you hear nothing. But if the balcony door is open then you will definitely hear it!
