Hotel Avalon Jumeirah Village, by the First Collection

Hotel staff: Very polite, friendly and enthusiastic, able to effectively solve guests' problems Hotel construction: not worth mentioning except for new buildings and lighting Room: The room is extremely small. The suitcases have to be placed in the passage. The big bed is not long enough. I am 1.7 meters tall and slept with my feet outside the end of the bed. The shower water pressure was very weak. It was barely possible to shower on the first night, but it took a long time. It was impossible to wash my hair on the second night. Fortunately, after the complaint was made, an employee immediately came forward to make adjustments and finally solved the problem. Location: Very inconvenient. There is only a small convenience store and laundromat around, and it is surrounded by construction sites. There is no metro or public transportation nearby, only taxis. The hotel has a shuttle to the Mall of Emirates, Circle Mall and the same beach, but there is only one bus per day. Price: A room of 26 square meters costs nearly $1,000 per night, which is low value for money.
