Areas are ordered cheapest first, by the median nightly rate of the hotels we can read a price for. An area needs at least two of them before it gets a row, because one property tells you nothing about a part of town.
Al Mina
Al Mina is the cheapest of the 3 areas below, and only two properties, so read its numbers as two data points rather than a picture of the area. Rooms start at $29 a night here, and the 2 properties we can read run to $34.
Jebel Ali Village
Jebel Ali Village is where guests score their stay highest, and only two properties, so read its numbers as two data points rather than a picture of the area. Rooms start at $36 a night here, and the 2 properties we can read run to $42.
Trade Centre
Trade Centre is the priciest of the 3, and only two properties, so read its numbers as two data points rather than a picture of the area. Rooms start at $28 a night here, and the 2 properties we can read run to $119.
What these numbers are, and what they are not
Each hotel sits in an area by the address its booking partner publishes, and every figure comes from the same reading that fills the rate on the hotel page: the nightly rate, the guest score and the review count. Rates move with season, demand and length of stay, so read them as a starting point rather than the price of a stay.
What you will not find here is a line about how an area feels. We can read what a room costs and how guests scored it, so we rank on that. We cannot read whether a street is quiet after dark, so we do not put a sentence about it next to numbers that were actually measured.
