Guest Reviews
Location
However, the hotel's location away from central Dubai and significant attractions poses a challenge for those relying on public transport or taxis with some guests describing it as remote or isolated. While the hotel provides shuttle services to major malls and the beach, the distance from the city center, metro stations and other bustling areas often requires additional travel time and planning. Despite the serene environment and accessible conveniences, the location might be less ideal for tourists wanting to be in the heart of Dubai's vibrant city life. Yet, for those seeking tranquility and the convenience of nearby amenities, the location can be quite favorable.
Breakfast
Positive feedback points out a delicious, diverse buffet with fresh displays, providing good value for money, especially at the nominal fee of 35 AED. Guests appreciated the convenient breakfast service and mentioned good service from the staff, specifically in the breakfast room. Delicacies such as fried eggs, fresh and warm items and a selection of teas were appreciated.
However, several critiques focus on limited options, repetitive menus and a lack of variety, rendering the breakfast experience below some guests' expectations for a four-star hotel. Complaints highlight that the selection can be very basic and not particularly tasty with some experiencing logistical issues like the breakfast ending earlier than scheduled.
