My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. On one hand, the location was very convenient with easy access to Downtown Dubai and a short walk from the business bay metro station. However, the rooms were disappointing, being smaller than usual, with poor WiFi coverage and occasional smoke smell. The service, though not initially helpful, turned around with kind gestures like extending our stay for free and preparing breakfast boxes for early departures. The dining options were lacking in variety, and the facilities were average. Overall, it was a decent stay but with some significant drawbacks.

The hotel offers clean and spacious rooms, although there were instances of cigarette smoke and noise disturbance from adjoining rooms. The service was friendly and professional, with some opportunities for improvement in information provision. The location is convenient yet somewhat challenging to navigate, with mixed surroundings. The dining experience was standard but with a decent selection of food. Overall, an average stay with room for enhancement.

The hotel is not soundproof, has enclosed showers, and is not really close to the city center. However, the shuttle service to Dubai Mall is convenient for two-person occupancy. The rooms could use improvement in terms of size.

The hotel offers a very nice stay with occasional smoke smell in the rooms but large and comfortable beds, and it's a quiet place with a great view of the Burj Khalifa. The complimentary mini fridge stocked with tea, coffee, and water daily adds a nice touch. The professionalism of the staff is commendable.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms and friendly service. However, some aspects could be improved, like the dining options. The location was convenient, close to the Dubai Canal, but not much around the hotel. Overall, good value for money.

The hotel rooms looked tidy, well-kept by 7.00am, but they are a bit far from the Metro. Service overall was friendly and cheerful around 06.30Hrs, although there were issues with room allocations. The location allows for comfortable travel in the city and to famous attractions, but there is ongoing construction all around. The dining was both delicious and sumptuous, catering to busy schedules, but could benefit from more Indian delicacies. The facilities were adequate for my stay.
