The rooms are very comfortable, with incredibly clean sheets and towels that made the stay even more pleasant. Everything felt fresh, organized, and relaxing.
The location is also excellent, making it very convenient to move around Dubai and explore the city. Another highlight was the buffet, which was absolutely excellent with a great variety of delicious options.
I highly recommend this hotel 100%. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip to Dubai.

Disliked: Amenities
The room was good but we did get an upgrade, however this isn’t a 5* hotel. The view to the city is great but access to metro and public transport eg taxis is limited and can be time consuming with a lot of road noise can be heard while in the room.
The spa and pool areas for the size of hotel was small. Kids pool was the size of a jacuzzi.
Room after upgrade was spacious, and if you like the bed firm to hard, you’ll be ok. Staff are all very friendly.
It’s a hotel I’d use to go to for work related visits but not a family holiday.
Absolutely Amauri g stay, clean and well equipped hotel but the best part is the amazing service from all the team. Highly professional and service with a smile always. No request was too big. Would definitely come again. Take the suit with the creek view, amazing!
Stayed for one night transiting through DXB. Super clean, comfortable, and pleasant hotel. The staff was courteous and welcoming. The room was super comfortable, clean, and upscale. Location is close to the airport with a ten minutes drive. Will be back.
