Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms with gorgeous bathrooms and lovely food. The service is fantastic, with forgetfulness during check-in being a minor concern. The location, near Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall, is excellent and lively with a long tunnel passage. Dining is top-notch with a great variety in a large breakfast room. The facilities are well-equipped, making the stay comfortable and enjoyable.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were super clean with an evening turn-down service, but having only one king bed meant paying extra for an additional bed, making it necessary for three people to share. The regular system used for other rooms made it very loud at times.
I was delighted with my stay at this hotel. The room was extremely large with a very comfortable bed and large windows offering an awesome view. The design was top-notch, and the bathroom was really big. The service was very helpful and friendly, especially Ana, who made our time by the pool a pleasure with extra towels and chilled drinks.
