Clean and Convenient Stay

helpful staffeasy check-inspacious roomcomfortable bed
The reception staff was great, especially Kashif, he found me a room with a nice view. He also called after I settled in to make sure everything was satisfactory. I also appreciated the quick and easy check-in and check-out process. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable.
The hotel provided only two water bottles per night, despite the room cost.
Location

inconsiderate stafflack of amenities
The staff seemed inconsiderate. i paid a significant amount for my stay, but they refused a dental kit. even a simple bowl or spoon was denied. I had to buy everything myself. i've never encountered such a less considerate hotel before.

convenient stay near emirates mall

convenient locationgood amenitiesclean roomgood job
The location is very convenient, being right across from the mall of the emirates. i noticed a few restaurants just across the street too. the hotel provided great amenities, which i found very useful. the room was clean. I liked that a lot. mohammed from the front desk really ensured that my stay was perfect. He always did a good job.
I found that twin room availability was somewhat limited. It would be better to have more options available.
