I was lucky to find this booking. The hotel is centrally located in Dubai, with everything close by. The room was very clean, and the hotel staff were extremely friendly. Housekeeping cleaned my room every day without me even having to ask. I will definitely book this hotel again in August. Keep up the great work!

Have been staying at this property for many years but this time was extremely disappointing. For starters the room had cockroaches, the housekeeping told me that their was a towel shortage and they can’t give more than one towel per room, the manager was extremely rude. I had to check out before my departure date due to an emergency and they refused to refund me the balance even though Expedia had spoken to them on phone and approved. Highly disappointed and will never ever stay with them.
