The 480-room ibis Al Barsha is already a hit with visitors to Dubai as it caters to those with limited budgets, according to the hotel manager.
Located in Barsha, the hotel is the third ibis opened by Accor in the emirate and is part of the brand’s overall startegy of offering hotel clusters in prime locations.
According to general manager, Philippe Montaubin, the ibis promise of a commitment to service at value for money pricing struck a chord in the current economic climate.

“While Dubai is a destination on many travellers’ wish-list, high hotel rates in the past have to a degree limited the market to those who are travelling on company expenses or holidaymakers with a luxury budget,” Montaubin said.
“With ibis, we offer the comfort and service standards expected in Dubai — which has a reputation of delivering the very best — but our guests do not over-pay for facilities which they may not use.”
The ibis Al Barsha has 378 double rooms, 100 twin-bed rooms and two special needs rooms across six floors, all featuring IDD telephones, satellite television, high-speed internet and WIFI connections, as well as 24-hour laundry service and snack service.
Other facilities range from WIFI in the lobby and public areas to an indoor car park, complimentary safety deposit boxes at reception, an airport shuttle service, plus a variety of dining options including the Baharat Restaurant with an international buffet offering what the company describes as flavours of the Mediterranean, with a touch of the Orient.
