We booked a standard double bed room and there was an issue with our bathroom. We spoke with the reception, they were very helpful. They apologised for the invonvinence and gone beyond and over and upgraded our room to a huge family suite. The staff and management were very friendly, breakfast buffet was very good for the price as well.

Dear Santish, I just wanted to provide some feedback on my recent stay at CityMax Business Bay. Overall, I had a great experience at the hotel, with comfortable accommodations and friendly staff. However, I do have a small suggestion for improvement. As a British customer who enjoys a traditional cup of tea, I was disappointed to see that the room only had powdered milk available. Many British tea drinkers prefer to use fresh milk in their tea, as it provides a richer and creamier taste. I would recommend providing small cartons of fresh milk in the rooms for guests who prefer this option. I did, of course, ask for non powdered milk on no less than 3 occasions to 3 different people and they all said politely that it was not possible for me to have any. I hope you will consider this feedback for future guests, as it would greatly enhance the tea-drinking experience for British customers staying at CityMax Business Bay. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The management is rude Saniyah Shaikh. I called and she had terrible listening skills and when asked a question instead of answering she asked another question. The feont desk staff rude. I pay tourism fee by credit card. Even after the see a booking..the will harass over and over for 30 dirham fee as if im running away when im staying here. The front desk Egyptian guy. Constantly harassing for tourism fee even after it was paid. These people have no customer service skill. Im not sure of they are just rude or racist. Either way. I wont be back.
