Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is conveniently attached to a huge shopping mall with exceptionally large rooms that feel like home, but there was a delay in room readiness upon check-in. The service was top-notch, with staff going above and beyond to assist, even with my energetic 2-year-old. The location, near the airport and with a big shopping mall downstairs, is superb, though not very close to the city center. The dining experience was good, especially with freshly made pizza. Overall, a great stay with minor room readiness issues.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were clean and spacious, with a great view of the water and Burj Khalifa. The service, from the gym instructors to the reception staff, was really helpful. The location is perfect, close to everything and offering stunning views of the creek and the Dubai city. The dining options were varied and enjoyable. Overall, a truly five-star experience!
I had a mix of experiences at the hotel. The rooms were cozy and well-prepared, but the lack of quiet was a downside during my stay. The service was welcoming and helpful, although it could benefit from better training for handling difficult situations. The location was excellent, connecting me to a vibrant area with plenty to do. The dining experience was superb with friendly staff and a great selection, yet there were some concerns about safety measures. Overall, the hotel offered good value for money with some room for improvement in various areas.
Our stay was beyond expectations! The hotel linked to the Festival Mall was a great choice. The rooms were not only clean and spacious but also exceeded our expectations from the booking pictures. The staff, despite being available only at checkout time, were incredibly friendly and cooperative, especially with our energetic 2-year-old. The location was perfect, situated close to the airport and downtown, making it convenient to enjoy the Festival City Mall and evening fountain shows.
The hotel is conveniently located near the airport and offers a lovely view of the sea at sunrise. The service was a mix of friendly and intrusive experiences. The dining experience provided great variety but lacked consistency. The presence of lifeguards by the pool was reassuring, while some room features did not meet expectations.
The hotel offers a fantastic view of the sea with very clean rooms suitable for 3 adults and a child. The size of the room was a bit small but maintained cleanliness.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, but they had a lingering smell of smoke the next day. On the bright side, we were pleasantly surprised by the arrangement of magazines in the room to make it feel like a cozy newspaper shop. However, we found the provision of three king-size beds and an extra bed in our suite a bit excessive for our needs.
The hotel offers very spacious rooms with beautiful views of the Canal, pool, and downtown. Overall, it was one of the most spacious hotel experiences I've had. The room was equipped with all handicap facilities, but it wasn't comfortable for me. The service was attentive, ensuring necessary measures were in place during these challenging times. The location is fantastic, with plenty of activities and shopping within walking distance. The dining experience was outstanding, offering fantastic varieties for different tastes. The hotel facilities were top-notch.
The hotel is conveniently located near the airport, offering a tranquil setting away from traffic congestion with beautiful sunrise views over the sea. The staff is exceptionally friendly and professional, although the clarity on complimentary amenities like the mini bar items could be improved. The dining experience is superb, providing a luxurious and well-organized meal service. Despite some minor setbacks, the overall experience is fantastic, especially with access to nearby attractions like Festival City Dubai mall.
The hotel has clean and nice rooms, with special arrangements for occasions like birthdays. The room I stayed in was a bit smaller and less comfortable compared to others. The staff is incredibly attentive and helpful, providing various services like room service and car hire. The location is great, close to a world-class institute and ideal for families and special events like New Year's Eve fireworks in Dubai. The dining experience was good with multiple options. The facilities are modern and well-maintained.
