Reviews
What would be a 3-star standard back home costs over a thousand here. Dubai is expensive, I get it.
The room was basic, with no special amenities. The towels were a bit yellowish/worn, and the deadbolt was broken (if you're bothered by this, beware, or go with a companion/bring your own doorstop). The kettle had a tiny capacity and would overflow every time I used it. They provided one glass bottle of drinking water daily, along with the most basic tea/coffee packets. The hairdryer was locked in the drawer (probably to prevent theft/they're very thrifty). The toilet paper was too thin, which really reflects a hotel's quality. There were only two pillows, and Dubai in winter can be a bit chilly; the AC made it cold, but without it, it felt stuffy.
The breakfast looked lively, but there weren't many tasty options.
The front desk staff and restaurant staff were all very enthusiastic.
There's a free shuttle to several shopping malls, parks, and the airport.
Unfortunately, someone in our group got sick, so we checked out a day early. The hotel refused to refund the room fee (even with Ctrip's intervention). Most hotels, both domestic and international, typically offer this service, but this place was very unyielding (they even grandly called it 'contractual spirit,' which is just baffling). As a service industry, you need to provide good service and a good experience. If you can't, and others can, then you're out.
I won't be choosing this hotel again. 🙂↔️ I suggest Ctrip lower its recommendation rating!
- Speaking about tidiness of the room, it was fine, but we could see some dust on the carpet which was not pleasant. We've been there with a kid, so we had an extra sofa for him, and his feedback - it was not really comfortable. But the biggest disappointment came from not the hotel exactly, but the travel agent who they cooperated with. She suggested us several experiences: new year fireworks show on the boat was a huge failure - don't recommend. We hoped for better service for such money. Afterwards we realised that every experience was overpriced, the quality of the organisation was doubtful though.
Despite the unexpected extension of our stay, everything was excellent. All the staff were very kind and helpful, and the experience was consistently comfortable throughout.
In particular, Robert from the restaurant stood out with his exceptional friendliness and warm service. He made us feel very welcome, and his hospitality truly left a lasting impression on us.
The food was perfect — fresh, well-prepared, and consistently great.
Highly recommended, and special thanks again to Robert for making our stay even more memorable.
I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for the wonderful meal you provided. The food was truly enjoyable and of excellent quality.
Everyone thoroughly appreciated the flavors and the care that went into preparing such a delightful spread. It was a pleasure to share such a memorable dining experience, and I wanted to extend my sincere thanks for your generosity and hospitality.
Looking forward to future occasions where we can once again enjoy your delicious culinary creations.
Warm regards,
Thankyouu
Merry Christmas 🎄
Only suggestion: to prepare microve oven service for customers at the restaurant perhaps, currently at the convenient store, staff apparently got several retrictions on which food to be allowed to use their reheat service. To avoid any inconvenience, availability of reheat service at the hotel restaurant itself would be nice.
