    A decent hotel to stay for a night or two.

  • 6.0.Good

    I liked that it was close to the airport. What I did not like is that it was noisy and people were speaking and yelling loudly in the hallways which is a disturbance when when you want to sleep for a few hours to take a connecting flight. The room was also rather dingy looking for the price of $100/night in Dubai which isn't cheap by American standards. What I did not like is that they knew they had 3 guests in the room but only placed 1 bath towel in the room. Also, I could not reach the restaurant to place an order for in-room dining. When I left a message for them, they called me back almost an hour later which was too late. I would never stay here if my connecting flight was not on the same day.

    Great property for a quick rest on either side of your trip. Beware of the Private car drivers parked outside. Take a metered taxi. These guys will charge 2-3 times more money. The security seems to allow this and are reluctant to help get you a taxi. Check with front desk and they always help.

    I think the management has to start recording calls of their workers to the rooms of visitors because I kept receiving unnecessary calls from some workers

    Although the price was real cheap the breakfast and coffee were awful. If you cannot provide decent coffee or breakfast then don’t include it in the price of the room!

    A perfect hotel for airport layover. Hotel staff provided excellent and easy instructions to find hotel shuttle, which runs once per hour. Hotel itself was clean and modern. Food service including breakfast was handled well in light of pandemic. All positive, no negative.
