    The people from the hotel, the staff were outstanding and the hotel is absolutely well equipped and maintained. The rooms are amazing and cozy, modern and really clean. Everything was wonderful and i can just say, I will come back. I stayed in room 1007 which was amazing. Thank you for your hospitality and to be honest and felt like staying with friends.

    The main pool was closed and we didn't know. That was one of the reasons why we booked the hotel.

    The location is very convenient, the staff is very nice, professional and helpful.

    The room was not ready at our check in time and we had to wait for 2 hours! It seemed very normal for the reception!

    The location, the staff specially Mr. Anesu 😊 the cleanliness! The breakfast was great, you could request many extra and personalized items, which made it easy for the kids!

    Tiles on pool floor are broken and subbed covers look a bit tired but I understand the main pool is under regeneration. Would stay here again though.

    Everything was amazing - highly recommend. Five star quality and spacious rooms. Adjacent to air conditioned walkway to Dubai Mall.

    From a wonderful check in with Robert to the fantastic room with city views, we loved our stay. It’s a perfect location for the summer heat being close to the metro and air con walking passage to the mall. The service and staff were exceptional. The bed was dream comfy. We didn’t want to leave!

    Breakfast area was chaotic and staff unfortunately not consistent with guest relations and very few greet, we found ourselves greeting first! Other guests’ luggage were inadvertently placed in our room after we were told our room was ready, then having to wait for our luggage to be located, only to find that it was still in the lobby area, unfortunately put a little damper on the start of our stay !. Fortunately things were later rectified. Breakfast supplies should have little tiny bowls for condiments such as honey and spreads! It is a five star hotel

    Property location and location on either side of burj Khalifa view Staff pleasant Room service staff were amazing !!

    The pool being used was a little underwhelming but the new pool under construction looks like it will be beautiful.

    Staff were fabulous and location was amazing! Hopefully we will go back to a new fully renovated pool. Also, club access package which we had was excellent.

    Their main swimming pool area is currently under renovations (this should be completed before the end of 2025), but their outside pool is still nice.

    Little Robbie (Robert), Steven, and Akram are super nice and friendly at Reception! We also liked the variety at buffet breakfast. The hotel is in a very good location to access the Dubai Mall. We had a good sized room with a view of Downtown.

    Our only issue was the room wasn't ready even by 4pm despite knowing we had been there since 9:30am.

    The facilities were great, the staff were friendly and helpful, our room was exactly what we were expecting and was perfect. The staff were very accommodating when we asked if they could hold our luggage.
