Convenient location, hotel quite tired and in need of refurbishment.
Like to say all staff made the stay extra special. The hotel is located in an excellent location, less than 5 min walk to the Metro and less than 5 min walk to Gate Avenue Mall ( which has nice fine dining establishments and other dining options) and DIFC Business Center. Less than 5 min walk to Tim Hortons, Starbucks , Pharmacies that are open 24hr.
There is a free shuttle that runs multiple times everyday to the Mall of Emirates. The Dubai Mall is only one metro station away.The rooms are clean, spacious and comfortable bedding.
Super friendly and nice staff welcomes you giving you all information needed for your stay. Room was spacious, cozy and clean!
Hotel is very close to Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall!
The location, cleanness, staff, and proximity to the metro station was great. My suit was spacious and had an amazing view. I highly recommend this hotel and will certainly consider re-booking it on my next trip to Dubai.
The property was nice,clean and accommodating. The staff was very helpful, nice and provided excellent service. I highly recommend this hotel. We will return in the future.
The hotel is located in the middle of everything. Thw staff is extremely friendly as well. I'd definitely recommend staying here & I wouldn't surely stay on a future visit. I felt safe & everything was very nice.
