Hotel served its purpose for us. We only stayed two nights. Didn’t get to use the pool. Tried the fisherman’s restaurant and room service. It was ok. Convenient to have a coffee shop on site.

It’s for budget travelers, so don’t expect the hotel to be like the near by Kempinski or Sheraton. Staff is always courteous and willing to assist, but the dreadful check in (took so long that I still have nightmare) needs be addressed, otherwise I will not revisit even if it is for free

Wonderful, convenient hotel in Dubai
Nice, clean hotel. Huge rooms with balcony with nice bathroom. The people at the front desk were very kind. Easy to go around Dubai. Ten minutes walk to the train stations, Malls, Museum of the Future, and more. It is a safe area with a lot of small shopping and restaurants. Tranquil room. Nice pool to chill out. Starbucks in the lobby area.

There was very loud bar which kept shaking my room due to beat and loud music. Informed reception and they said last night was weekend and there wouldn’t be any more noise tonight but every single night was same and couldn’t sleep. Due to restless nights and not able to sleep, I ended up in hospital where I was given relaxation injection. Absolute terrible

Very bad experience
One month before my arrival, I sent only 1 request: "Please give me a high floor" (because I read through some other reviews that they were having renovations and it can quite noisy at the lower floors) Upon my check-in, they gave me the first floor. :( I asked again to provide me a higher floor. They said they will do it the next day but never did.. even after 5 days.

Regret booking this hotel, it’s no where near a 4 star hotel. Rooms are out dated and old, balcony is locked and can’t be opened. You can hear traffic noises all day and night. I was woken up early everyday because they start playing LOUD jazz music in the hallway speakers at 6:30am every morning. Construction happening in the building so you hear loud drilling and hammering noises all day. Definitely do not recommend and regret picking this hotel.
