Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms are fantastic and clean, kept immaculate by housekeeping. The spacious and comfortable rooms, managed by Chef Vinod, provide a great retreat despite the heat outside. Service is commendable with friendly and helpful staff willing to go above and beyond to ensure a top-notch stay. While the location is not the most attractive and limited in amenities, being close to Qasr al Watan and Emirates Palace is a plus. Dining options, though not up to usual standards, offer a delicious breakfast selection. Overall, a mixed bag with solid value for money.
