Reviews
Museum of future is on walking distance
Good room and appropriately priced
Recommended for Buisness travelers
Restaurant options are very less
U have to walk to search restaurants and cafés
Staff is ok , entrance is small so it will be crowded lobby
Super market shop is inside hotel
Additionally, the room phone was intermittently not working and could only be used on loudspeaker. As a result, I had to walk down to the lobby every time I needed assistance, which was extremely inconvenient.
The complimentary shuttle bus service was also poorly managed. The concierge staff emphasized that the shuttle was “not under their control” and that any issues were not their responsibility. I was told to wait and that an announcement would be made when the bus arrived. I ended up waiting for more than 50 minutes, with no announcement and no staff present to assist. There was no communication or support provided at all.
Overall, while the property looks new, the lack of maintenance, safety concerns, and poor service coordination made this stay unacceptable. Will not book with them again.
Yes, the room is quite small, which is typical for ibis-style hotels, but it was clean, quiet, and comfortable — everything you actually need.
What really stands out:
- Perfect location — easily 5/5.
- Very close to the metro, which makes getting around extremely convenient.
- The surrounding area is great: lots of restaurants, business centers, and a lively urban atmosphere.
- Easy access to major attractions — Burj Khalifa, the old city, and the Museum of the Future are all relatively close.
Final thoughts:
If you manage to book this hotel at a good price, it is a very solid option and great value for money.
Simple, efficient, well-located — exactly what it should be.
