Reviews
From the moment I arrived, I had the warmest impressions from Henok. He is so welcoming and helping me the first I'm out from the taxi.
During check-in time was so easy and informative, Sulaiman provided me with a lot of information and benefits during my stay.
As I was celebrating my birthday, he arranged the suits with cake and balloons..
The room itself is amazing! I had 2 views at the same time - the marina side and the sea view!
Just a bit concern about the toiletries. Seems like if you want to have full set it's only upon request.
But they deliver it as soon as you asked which have a plus point.
The buffet has so many good options and the sport bar is a nice touch.
Overall is great! The area is walkable and many good restaurants around.
Overall besides the breakfast experience I would suggest this hotel to people who want to enjoy marina beach on low budget.
Breakfast is bad.
The room view was beautiful, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, a comfortable and memorable stay. Would definitely recommend it for families.
Location is very convenient if you want to explore Dubai Marina. Just a few minutes from the Marina promenade, which is a great boulevard with lots of restaurants and cozy places to sit.
The staff truly stood out. Incredibly friendly and genuinely helpful. Every request was handled with care, which made the stay feel very relaxed.
Prices felt fair for what you get. We received an upgrade to a suite with a balcony and it was absolutely worth it.
Outdoor pool is fine. Gym is well equipped.
Didn’t use the breakfast or bar, but supermarkets are nearby, which was very practical.
All in all, a very solid stay. Would definitely come back.

The guy at the front desk: Mu Mingzhong, he speaks Chinese really well 👍
The bell staff also provided excellent service, their names are in the picture.
The hotel's location is fantastic, right in the Marina. There's a supermarket and restaurants right outside. Just across the street is the yacht club's bay, which is great! 👍
