    Communication poor at front desk between staff and shifts. Was awkward as was planning extension. Eventually they realised something was wrong and apologised, but it was too late. I really didn’t have the energy to even try to explain.

    New location for me in Dubai. Closer to creek for walking

    Internet speed could be little faster for smoother streaming, The Breakfast buffet is nice but could be improved further.

    The staff were exceptional and super friendly, From check in till checkout, All our needs were taken care of, Big shoutout to housekeeping & doormen, Specious quiet rooms with excellent amenities, Room dining was superb! Solo Italian restaurant is must!

    10th floor snacks should be an indoor pool at some time - bonus

    Hi, Everything was fine, the 10th floor club food sure got a bit boring with the same old stand,, its much nicer at other 5 star hotels, that was an upgrade for me but if i had to pay i wouldnt have been happy. Breakfast should have more variety but was good enough, bedrooms and balconies are very good and spacious at this hotel, would definiteley return.

    Please take a look at the window blinds. The daylight that comes through the edges and in the middle is quite disturbing in the morning. Should have way of completely blocking out the light.

    The location of the property was ideal. We had appointments at Healthcare City and every place was within walking distance. The staff were very accommodating. Upon arrival, we were informed of a room upgrade opportunity which we took advantage of. Enjoyed our stay.
