Exceptional
The hotel offers a beautiful view of the Burj Khalifa and is located by the water. The room is comfortable and the terrace is huge, which is a big plus. The room has everything you need. The staff is very friendly, and always available. Also, the Local restaurant, which is part of the hotel, has excellent food, delicious with a large selection of various dishes. The restaurant staff is also very friendly, and I would especially like to single out Zeeshan, who gave us a lot of valuable information. All in all, an excellent hotel and for every recommendation. Certainly the best choice for the invested - received.
What could be improved: The pool should be larger.
Exceptional
"The place offers a stunning view of the Burj Khalifa and is exceptionally clean. The staff are highly professional and courteous, especially Osama, who is in charge of the restaurant during dinner, and Abdullatif at the reception."
Good Stay, Good Location. Great Staff!
The property is a good stay in general, at the time of our stay Souna Beach was having major works done so a bit disappointed we could not use this beach as it was what sold the hotel to us in the first place, but the staff offered us use of an alternative. The hotel was clean and the view from our balcony was amazing, especially at night time. The waterfront is beautiful. Staff were welcoming and accommodating.
What could be improved: Souna Beach was not available for use, but as mentioned we was given access to another beach instead. The closest metro is a taxi ride away although taxis are generally cheap from this hotel to most places. Dubai Hills Mall was close which was good, a new mall for me to try so way great!
Superb
Location
What could be improved: Na
It was a very good experience overall since I was alone and spent most time out but with family you need to improve cert
All facilities were available. The staff was wonderful. The breakfast was very good as well. Valet service was excellent.
What could be improved: There is no metro station closeby. Toiletries had to be requested. Fridge wasn’t working well. Tea at the breakfast wasn’t good. There is no special tea milk neither liquid nor powder. It’s only black tea. In the rooms kettle and cups have been provided but there were no tea bags no milk. The GPS coordinates need to be improved. Also please put a picture of your hotel’s main board on booking.com
Exceptional
