Although the room picture wasn't that clean, and the rooms were located on two separate floors, my stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The staff was attentive for the most part, and they were very friendly, going out of their way to assist. The location, which is the only reason why I booked this place, was suitable for my trip. The breakfast was nice with many choices, but it felt rushed, and I didn't get to enjoy everything on offer. The hotel had some nice facilities, but it felt like a construction site at times.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms were not as clean as I expected, with dust in the coffee box and some cleanliness issues in the bathroom. Additionally, there was disruptive noise from renovations in the neighboring room. On the bright side, the hotel quickly resolved the room issue and even upgraded us for free. However, external noise from car horns and loud voices made it challenging to relax. The location was convenient for travelers by car but lacked nearby amenities. The service was professional and friendly overall, although there were some hiccups with online booking confirmation. The dining experience felt rushed and limited, but the facilities were acceptable.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were fabulous, with a balcony facing the swimming pool, but there were some concerns with the management and attitude of the front desk receptionist. The location was convenient for a calm sleep after a busy day in Abu Dhabi, and the service was extremely helpful and kind. However, the dining experience fell short of expectations at times.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were comfortable with a lovely balcony, but there was an annoying ticking sound that made sleep difficult. Also, I had an unexpected encounter with a drunk person due to a connected door. The service was exceptional, with diverse and caring staff, especially Foued, Roy, Ukesh, and Ksenia. Mr Zakaria, the front office manager, was incredibly helpful in explaining the hotel facilities. The location was good for my trip, offering a peaceful getaway, but it was a bit far from main attractions. The dining experience was inconsistent, with some days being superb while others were mediocre.

The hotel offers good rooms at a very reasonable price, but cleanliness could be improved with dirty floors and sandy balconies. The service could be more polite, especially towards family members.

The hotel has a lovely view from the rooms, but they were not quite clean and had a noticeable smell upon arrival. The noise level at night was very loud.

The hotel is located in the cornice area, close to the airport, offering a variety of facilities such as swimming pool, children entertainment, and studying areas. The rooms had issues with AC and TV, and the wooden board behind the bed was a downside for families. The bathroom floor not sloping to the drain was inconvenient, affecting the overall experience.
