My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were big and beautiful, with excellent housekeeping service from staff like Hamza, Bijoy, Waqas, Santosh, Richard, Rauf, and Hannah. However, the bathroom was a bit old and squeaky, with rusty water holes and low water pressure. The warmth of the water was not ideal, as there was no hot water available during my 4-night stay.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were very clean and spacious, unlike newer hotels that tend to cram spaces. The staff was incredibly polite and always respectful. The location was excellent, within walking distance from the red line of the metro and Old Dubai, making it central to the places we wanted to visit. The dining experience was top-notch, fit for royalty, although the breakfast was not added to the booking, which was a bit of a letdown.

The hotel's location is central, close to many facilities and major attractions, making it convenient for exploring the area. The rooms, however, were not as expected and showed signs of wear and had an insect issue during my stay.
