00:03 Hi, a very good afternoon.
00:15 I'm Reshma, representing Savoy Central.
00:17 I'm the resident manager based here.
00:20 Savoy Central is a very beautiful property,
00:22 which is centrally located in Bargubai.
00:24 We've got all 154 studios out here.
00:27 It is very close at a walking distance
00:29 to the old part of Dubai, where you can walk down
00:31 to the museum, the Agra station.
00:34 The supermarket is just down--
00:36 just two steps from the hotel.
00:38 We've got the exchange centers.
00:41 We've got an ample of restaurants.
00:43 It's very centrally located.
00:44 This is all about Savoy Central.
00:46 We also provide-- we'll just take you that side.
00:51 We have the front desk that operates 24 hours
00:53 to welcome you any time in the night also.
00:56 [FOOTSTEPS]
00:59 [PHONE RINGING]
01:03 We're also holding an 8.8 rating on hotels.com.
01:07 So can you tell us a little bit of why
01:08 you hold that 8.8 rating?
01:10 Basically, Savoy is all customer-oriented.
01:13 We believe in heartfelt hospitality.
01:16 And we look after our guests and make them comfortable
01:19 as if they are at their own home.
01:21 Very nice.
01:22 That's how we have attained this rating and ranking of 8.8.
01:26 OK.
01:27 And we also provide a daily drop to the beach,
01:31 which goes at 10.15 in the morning
01:34 and comes back at 2.15 in the afternoon.
01:36 We do provide free towels and mats on a daily basis.
01:40 We also arrange for excursions at very discounted rates.
01:42 And the same can be booked upon your check-in
01:47 at the reception desk.
01:49 Very nice.
01:51 So guys, just keep in mind that this
01:52 is the only hotel that provides excursions,
01:54 because I was living at a different hotel apartment.
01:57 And they don't provide this opportunity.
01:59 So do come to this hotel.
02:00 It is the best hotel here in the area.
02:03 I will take you to the coffee shop area now.
02:05 We have this partition only because
02:10 of the holy month of Ramadan.
02:12 Nice.
02:12 For this Ramadan period, we also have special menu for Sehri.
02:22 And we also have special menu for Iftar.
02:25 Very nice.
02:26 And guys, you can see it's very cheap.
02:31 It's only 40 dirham per guest.
02:33 You won't find that anywhere in any restaurant.
02:36 This is our buffet breakfast, where
02:43 we have it every day from 7 to 10.30 in the morning.
02:46 We have a full layout of American continental breakfast.
02:51 We also have-- we do room service every day,
02:55 also on a daily basis.

03:10 every day in the evening.
03:11 We also have tea and coffee for all other guests,

09:10 - OK, guys, so over here, I have to do a voiceover
09:13 because the wind-- it was too windy outside
09:15 and the voice got distorted.
09:18 So basically, I'm just asking them
09:21 about how clean the water is and if it gets cleaned every day.
09:24 So they were telling me that the water
09:27 is cleaned every single day.
09:29 And there are two ends to the pool.
09:32 One is the bigger end for the adults,
09:35 and one is the smaller end across from the fence, which
09:38 is for the kids.
09:39 The pool is open from 7 AM to 10 PM.
09:47 They have a lifeguard on duty all the time,
09:50 and they provide with life jackets.
09:54 I asked them a question whether the pool is
09:57 for males and females separately or is it together.
10:00 And they told me that males and females are together.
10:06 Their water is temperature controlled.
10:08 It's not too hot and it's not too cold.
10:13 And that was basically it.
10:19 That's what they were telling me.
10:20 So now after this, we're going downstairs to check out
