Citymax Hotel Al Barsha

Good hotel for the $. The shower is absolutely strange, it is only 1/2 a pane of glass. I am 6.2 so I could not stand under the shower without hitting my head. As a direct result I had to turn the shower head up which caused water to run all over the bathroom. I do not see why they can add a sliding glass door or a curtain; absolutely mind boggling. Other than that everything was what I expected and more. Good sports bar, music bar, etc. Great staff!
