The Auris Plaza Hotel Experience

Last week I took my family to Dubai, and I always want to try and experience new places to stay specially in Dubai, since no hotel is like the other. This holiday we stayed a short 3 days in the Auris Plaza Hotel, A five star hotel located in the AlBarsha District, just a few minutes away from the Emirates mall.

It took me a while to get to the hotel, as it wasn’t in my GPS device or on google maps, however located behind the Dunes hotel Apartments I was able to find it. The location of the hotel from the Emirates mall was just 1 traffic signal away and took us about 3 mins to get to the emirates mall. Getting to and from the hotel was also easy.

The hotel lobby design was nice and modernistic, every floor looked exactly the same and as you go up the glass elevator you look at replicas floor by floor.

Overall our stay was very comfortable, its a great hotel (only open for 4 months now), very friendly staff, very helpful. Everything in the hotel is modern and up to date, the Nespresso coffee machine prepared great coffee, dominos pizza was a phone call away. I would recommend this hotel both for families too as there is a small play room and small gym and swimming pool on the roof. The only downsides were that there was no high-hanging sign to say that this is the hotel, and there was no indication on google map of the hotel either + the breakfast menu was very limited, but good, and would fuel up for the day.
