Souq Waqif Boutique Hotels by Tivoli"As the Hotel is part of a group of 8. I think its important they let the client know where to drop of from a taxi as there have to take you to the hotel on their golf cart. Other than getting slightly lost due to not knowing the above, the rest was perfect and I would book this place again."
