Although the property looks dated, our stay here was great. Stayed 2 nights - the room was large, clean and comfortable. Our windows looked into the building wall beside us but didn’t impact our positive impression. Breakfast was great, staff and service also great. Ate dinner one night in the restaurant on the 18th floor - the meal was really tasty and outstanding, and service was too. Only downfall we could find was the underground parking garage was a sauna and there were no signs to point you to where the lifts were! Please improve this! Area around the hotel also good; walked to the promenade, restaurants and shops no problem.

An Acceptable Place for a Short Visit

Pros: *The staff were very friendly and professional throughout my stay. *My request for a quieter room was honored. *The breakfast was nice with a good choice of different types/kinds of food. Cons: *The hotel room was very dated and furniture should be replaced. *My door had some sort of issue, so if it was not closed properly (the doorknob had to be pulled very tightly) it would be left open. This happened during my stay by one of the members of housekeeping.

Little gem of a hotel

Amazing little hotel with very friendly staff. Very close to the corniche and lots of shops and restaurants around. Madinat Zayed Mall is within walking distance ie 2 minutes away. Free parking was available. The breakfast buffet was very good also. I highly recommend this hotel and will be back .
