The hotel’s location is excellent—you can easily walk to the Lusail Food Arena and the ocean. The property itself is luxurious, clean, and well maintained. However, the service could use improvement. On a cold night, it felt like the heater in our room was not working. We contacted the front desk multiple times requesting assistance and an extra blanket, but unfortunately no one followed up. The bellman, Hamza, on the other hand truly stood out. He went above and beyond to accommodate us and was the only staff member who showed genuine care and attentiveness during our stay

Me and my husband stayed in the room with the waterfront balcony view. It was nothing short of stunning and amazing! The room was in perfect condition with all the amenities there from a coffee machine to internet with youtube on the tv. The room was in modern condition. I loved the beige tones. Room service was always on point. If there was one regret it was that we didn’t stay long enough!! This is our spot to come to in Dubai since everything was so convenient to us. Brilliant staff very friendly and always seconds away from helping.

Room was nice big and clean. Bathroom was very small and very poorly designed. Faucet in the sink was leaking and not repaired. Shower door was also leaking and a small bathroom area got flooded every time we showered. Breakfast was good. You have to take Taxi for wherever you want to go. Nothing is walkable.
