We stayed here just for one night as a layover, and it was such a pleasant experience. The staff were incredibly kind and even arranged a small decoration for our honeymoon, which made us feel very special. The room and facilities were spotless, and everything was well maintained. Another bonus – there’s a supermarket right in the lobby, which was very convenient. Highly recommended for comfort and great service!

The stay was amazing. The rooms were very cozy and comfortable. We were treated very well by the staff. The pool, supermarket, shuttle service etc enhanced the already great experience. It is very close to the Dubai Mall (basically walking). Getting out from the hotel you immediately see the Burj Khalifa. All in all, amazing experience!!

Location is perfect for those who want to stay near Burj Khalifa and other tourist attractions.
Amenities must be asked for. Would prefer for it to be already at our disposal in the room/bathroom.

A really lovely and comfortable stay
Everything about the hotel was wonderful — we especially loved the pool, the laundry room, and being able to choose a breakfast dish beyond the buffet. The staff were attentive throughout, and Lali especially stood out for his genuine helpfulness and friendly manner.

I had a wonderful stay. The room and facilities were exceptionally clean, and the staff were absolutely helpful, friendly, and welcoming throughout my visit. Even after checkout, they went above and beyond to assist me when I left something behind, which I really appreciated. The location is also perfect, just a short distance from Dubai Mall. Overall, an excellent experience — I highly recommend this hotel!

Very good
The hotel is modern and has a fun, trendy vibe about it. The room was clean and nice. The absolute highlight is the pool. It has plenty of sunbeds always with fresh towels. It gets plenty of sun or you can put up shade umbrellas. The view there of Burj Khalifa made it such a beautiful spot. The location was good with Dubai Mall walking distance.
The gym looked bigger in pictures. The weight area is actually very small and pokey. One day there were 2 other people in there and I was very limited with what I could do. It felt a bit awkward and cramped. When I booked the description indicated shuttle bus to the mall and beach. I thought this would go at least a few times a day to these locations. Instead it went to more places but very restrictive. The beach but it only seemed to go in the morning a couple of times. Nothing in afternoon or evening so I had to catch train. The mall it went to a few times a day but you could easily walk there in 10-15 mins anyway. Also some other locations it went too it was only one way E.g Dubai Outlet mall. I considered going but there is no direct public transport back and taxi expensive as quite far. There should be a return shuttle a couple hours after drop off from these locations.

Good location for my needs! Room was clean. Pool is nice!
I had a late arrival, and when I emailed and asked to confirm, I got a clearly prewritten message saying that they couldn’t confirm and it was based on availability. For a room I’ve already paid for? Correspondence needs work. But in person the staff were very friendly. 24 hour convenience store was nice to have. I get the motivation, but I don’t trust a glass bottle with a sticker on it, so I didn’t drink it. I would prefer a water bottle that is sealed.
