The hotel rooms are spacious and can easily accommodate guests and their luggage. The staff are friendly and very helpful. The location is convenient both for the airport and downtown, with fantastic breakfast service. The dining experience was excellent, although a bit lacking in variety with cereal.

The hotel's rooms were incredible, but there was a delay in the availability after waiting for hours, and I was fully charged for the 5-day stay upfront. The service was excellent, especially the helpful front desk staff, but there were empty drink glasses not cleared. The location was favorable, not far from the city center, but had some cleanliness issues. Dining offered a great selection, though service could be improved. Overall, a mixed experience with some highlights and drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel was simply wonderful. The rooms were impeccably clean thanks to Abishek, offering a great view over Dubai. I stayed in a junior suite, and it was enormous and lovely, with an excellent bath/shower. The hotel's location was ideal, with close proximity to main attractions in Dubai, although the train passing by could be a bit annoying. The service was top-notch; the staff were very welcoming, helpful, and accommodating. The dining experience was very good, with a special shoutout to ALAA for their excellent service during breakfast. Overall, a fantastic experience with a few minor hiccups.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms were spacious and accommodating, there were issues with my reservation leading to a delayed check-in and overcharging.

Overall, there were some positives and negatives to consider during my stay.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The incredible view from my double deluxe room on the 34th floor was breathtaking, but the wait for the room was frustrating, and I was charged upfront for the entire stay. The room itself, while spacious, had a fixed desk that took up too much space.

The service was helpful, although not quite professional, but they really stepped up after the 3rd reminder.
