Reviews and Ratings
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. Overall, a great stay with some minor areas for improvement.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were lovely, and the bath/shower was excellent, despite the long wait for check-in. My double deluxe room on the 34th floor had the most incredible view.
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.
I waited for 6 hours for my room despite being fully charged for 5 days, but once I got in, the amazing view over the city of Dubai made up for it. The room was huge, clean, and had a breathtaking view. The hotel is conveniently connected to a mall.

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. The service was friendly but a bit slow at times. The location was convenient for reaching different parts of Dubai easily. The dining options were varied but felt repetitive. 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.
I had a fabulous stay at the hotel! The rooms were so comfortable and clean, and I loved the good size bathroom. The service was fantastic, especially towards our little son. The location was very convenient near Dubai Healthcare City metro station, and the dining experience was amazing with great food and a stunning view from the 30th floor. A truly memorable experience overall!
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with some great highlights but a few drawbacks to consider. The rooms had a lingering smell that wasn't ideal, possibly attributed to Abishek's presence. However, the helpful service, especially from Fatima at the reception and the maintenance crew, made my experience more enjoyable.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were perfect and so comfortable, with a good-sized bathroom, but the cleanliness could have been better. The service was helpful, although not quite professional, but they really stepped up after the 3rd reminder. The location was superb, not too far from the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) buildings and a short drive to the city's main attractions. The dining experience was lovely, especially for vegetarians. Overall, a great stay with some minor hiccups.
My stay at the hotel was incredible. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and relaxing. The staff, especially Mr Barakat, Mr Nouraldeen, and Mr Herman, were exceptionally kind and made my stay memorable. However, the upgrade I was waiting for was not available even after a 6-hour wait.
The hotel was fantastic, with very nice rooms filled with all comforts and an excellent high tea in the afternoon. The staff, especially Mr Barakat, Mr Nouraldeen, and Mr Herman, were incredibly kind and made my stay relaxing. However, the strong scents were a bit overwhelming at times.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were very clean, huge, and offered amazing views. The friendly reception staff were quick to address any concerns, although there was a slight lingering smell in the room. The service was exceptional, especially from the helpful Fatima at the reception and Satish who always went out of his way to assist. The location is fantastic, close to the Dubai Healthcare City metro station and within reach of many attractions; however, it is a bit far from downtown Dubai. The dining experience was superb, offering a variety of delicious options with a spectacular view from the 30th floor.
