The hotel had some positive aspects like being close to Dubai Mall and many tourist attractions, but it was quite busy with conference guests, making it overwhelming at times. The rooms were uncomfortable and had a strong smell of cigarettes, affecting our stay negatively. The services provided were helpful, with instant resolution of any issues, but there were no specific comments on the price. The dining experience was good overall, with some disappointments due to Ramadan, and the location was convenient though not close to the metro. Despite some inconveniences, the staff's effort to apologize and offer a complimentary meal showed their commitment to service.

I found the hotel to be a great choice for my stay. The rooms were spacious and clean, ideal for getting some work done. However, the experience dimmed a bit in the last 2 days following a celebration. The service was exceptional, with warm and friendly staff always willing to go the extra mile. The dining experience was average, not quite up to par for a 5-star hotel.

The hotel offered a really nice stay overall, with clean and comfortable rooms and helpful staff. However, there was a noticeable tobacco smell in the Executive Superior room. The location was ideal for families with its proximity to attractions, but it could get crowded. The dining experience was excellent, although there were some disappointments in other restaurant options. The hotel facilities were well-maintained and added to the experience.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with clean and tidy rooms but unfortunately not ready upon arrival. The service was exceptional, especially the lady at the front desk who welcomed me warmly. The location was convenient for my visit to GITEX, and the proximity to attractions was great, although not the most aesthetically pleasing. The dining experience was mediocre, with disorganized service, yet the focaccia bread stood out. Overall, it was a comfortable stay with a few minor drawbacks.

The hotel had a mix of experiences, with clean and comfy rooms but missed out on special weekend activities. The service was top-notch, with very accommodating and helpful staff members, though some areas need updating. The location was a bit off the connect in the Bur Dubai area, making it a bit frantic at times. The dining options ranged from superb to bland, and the facilities were good but with some room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic overall. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable, providing an excellent experience. The service, especially from the lady at the front desk who checked me in, was great with friendly and helpful staff. The location was ideal for the kids, close to Dubai Creek Park and the open-top bus route. The dining experience was the highlight of my stay with very delicious options. However, some aspects like loud noise in the café area and a somewhat frantic experience due to conference guests were minor drawbacks.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with a good-sized balcony, perfect for relaxation, but some rooms are small and outdated. The option to smoke in all rooms may not appeal to non-smokers. The service, although excellent overall, may have occasional issues with staff attitude, especially in the pool area. The location is ideal for a quiet and relaxing stay, but it may not be close to popular shopping destinations. The dining experience is impressive, except for one unfortunate incident with a spoiled dessert. Facilities are generally satisfactory with room for improvement.
