The hotel is just a five minute walk from the Mall of the Emirates. All the big landmarks was a short taxi ride away. The room was clean and of a good size. Many thanks to Muhammed who kept our room nice and clean, and made sure we always had enough towels.

Another excellent stay and thank you for the upgrade. The evening Concierge was absolutely fantastic entertaining my children whilst we checked in. Definitely stay here again, even with renovations going on.

The hotel is old and it seems that the Management is not interested to fix the issues for example. The room had mold in the bathroom. The Informationens about the hotel at the Webside of expedia are not right. They have a shuttle but only to the mall not the other destinations like jbr beach. It was 1 main reason to book this hotel. The pool had also different opeding times that dont match with the Webside. The staff was very kind and friendly and always helpful anytime

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.

A clean, convenient. spacious, comfy room.

I stayed in the junior suite and it was really large and comfortable. Great location, good restaurants near by and so close to the mall. Was really happy with the place and would definitely stay there again. I didn't use the pool or go upstairs so can't comment on that. But the room was good for a reasonable price.

Lovely staff, very helpful. Spacious and very comfortable rooms. Unfortunately it rained and this prevented the roof pool from opening which we were looking forward to. No one’s fault. Close to mall, metro and local food and shops around.

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

Great hotel friendly staff but needs a little TLC.

On the positives, a nice large room with good bathroom. Nice breakfast choice, tasty and again, friendly and helpful staff. Able to order additional items such as omelettes but this was not mentioned and only knew as I saw staff walking out the kitchen with food orders. On the downside, the bathroom needed a bit of TLC, the toilet seat was loose and moved as one bolt was missing. The hot water is a manual system, you need to turn it on and wait some minutes to get hot. Not ideal if you are in a rush in the morning. So you leave it on all night, which is not ecofriendly. And when it was hot, the flow was much reduced to a slow trickle. The gym had lots of equipment, but lots of items not working. 3 of the 4 treadmills were out of order. Luckily when I went the one working was free. Also, no water machine or towles and only tissues avaialble to clean the equipment after. However, I got what I needed from it, as only user each time. On the last night the people in the adjacent room had a party that went on all night, full volume Indian tunes waking me at 1:30, 3 and then 5 but as I was going I let them get on with it. Not the hotels fault, but I wonder if anybody else complained and if so, what they would have done about it. Overall good stay, I would consider staying there again.

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

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.

Poor service

Overall hotel is ok to stay 1 night, cheap hotel, but i was really disappointed that they charged additionally 200 aed deposit (on top of a 1 night stay cost of 190), first they said that it will not be charged, only hold and then immediately released after checkout. But, when checking out next day - i realized that it was a charge and the refund in 7 days min as per receptionist answer...

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.
