The hotel offers spacious and well-appointed rooms, but they feel basic and not very clean. The service was very helpful and professional, enhancing our stay. The location is convenient for visiting Sahara Center and accessing PCR testing facilities, though parking can be a challenge. The dining options were varied but expensive. Overall, a mixed experience with room comfort and cleanliness being the main drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable, offering an amazing balcony with views of Sahara Center Mall.

My stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable overall. The rooms were very spacious and had everything I needed, except for the loud noise when the AC turned on frequently.

The hotel offers reasonably spacious, neat, and clean rooms that were very comfortable and excellent. However, it was expensive due to its location not being close to Dubai or facilities in Sharjah, resulting in higher taxi fares. The service was top-notch, from the doorman to reception and housekeeping, being the most helpful staff encountered. The location is convenient, with proximity to Sahara mall and a comfortable travel time to Dubai. The dining experience was average and needs improvement, despite the friendly and helpful staff. Overall, a great stay with minor drawbacks.

Staying at the hotel was a great experience overall. The room was spacious, with a bath and fridge, and the bed was super comfy with fresh crisp linen. The many channeled TV was perfect for the whole family. The breakfast included made it even more convenient. The location was ideal for exploring Dubai with easy access to shopping areas. However, the dining options were a bit expensive, and the pool area could have had more amenities.

My stay at the hotel was great! The rooms were clean and spacious, and the team was very friendly and helpful. However, the apartments were a bit small for what was advertised as deluxe. The service was fantastic, especially thanks to Shumeila at reception and Christian who helped with luggage. Although there were some minor issues like not understanding what a bath mat was, the staff, particularly Mr Akram Lateef, were extremely professional and helpful. The location was superb, right in front of Sahara Mall, offering easy access to plenty of dining options. The dining experience was amazing, with delicious food and very friendly staff.
