Business Bay experience

Convenient, but very noisy area. Outside and in - I had two different rooms and in each one, my neighbors had a late night and I got to hear all of it. Staff is super-friendly and very helpful. Restaurant buffet is very decent and the place is quite nice. Previous occupants hair all over the shower in the first room, that wasn’t removed after the first cleaning, which I found a bit shocking.

Wonderful hotel

Very good hotel, really good customers service. Brand new building and bedding. Team was very helpful, thank you Mr Foris for looking after us and making our stay enjoyable
Asam, 11-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property has nice view and rooms are clean. For a large family, getting rooms on a single level might be a struggle and also moving across rooms if not on same floor is a struggle. Alley leading to rooms has a carpets that smell musty. Restaurants are good and enjoyable. Overall, it’s a nice hotel with some quirks.

All I can say is that we had such an amazing time staying here. The hotel was sparkling clean, everything you need you will find here. The staff was so helpful and we also enjoyed some time on the rooftop pool. Its very close to the downtown area so location is perfect. You wont be disappointed with your stay here.
