The hotel rooms were ok, quite old but clean, and thankfully didn't have any unpleasant smells. The service was not empathic, but I had a great experience with Hazel who went above and beyond to find me a room last minute. The location was decent, just a short walk away from Dubai Creek. The dining was the highlight of my stay, even better than some 5-star hotels, especially the delicious breakfast. The facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel had a few issues with room amenities, like a low battery in the safe and a refrigerator that wasn't working until the last night, but they were able to resolve them eventually. The rooms themselves were clean, modern, and came with a well-stocked bathroom. The service was friendly and accommodating, allowing us to have visitors for a special occasion. The location, while not the cleanest, offered proximity to Dubai Creek and was convenient for exploring the city. The dining experience had its highlights but also had some discrepancies in breakfast timing. The facilities were decent overall.

The hotel had some issues with the rooms such as the sauna and steam not working properly, a persistent strange smell, malfunctioning TV initially, and delayed resolution of problems in the smoking room. However, the service was satisfactory, especially enjoying the swimming option on the rooftop. The location was convenient, being a short walk from Union metro station. The dining experience was subpar with limited breakfast options. Overall, the facilities had some drawbacks but were mostly acceptable for the price paid.

The hotel had some issues with the rooms, including a last-minute fix for low battery safe and non-working refrigerator.
