"Perfect Location and Exceptional Service in Dubai

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel in Dubai! Its location near the mall and airport is incredibly convenient. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed, and the staff is friendly and helpful. The rooftop pool offers stunning skyline views, and the dining options are excellent. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Dubai!

From the staff to the food and property, everything was great, you are connected to the the Dubai festival mall, which is less crowded and hectic than dubia mall to do all your shopping and just walk back to you room. My daughter has a dairy allergy and once you tell the staff the day before, they will accommodate. I had to change from a nasty hotel downtown and the change was smooth. It’s a 10-15min ride to downtown. The only bad thing was Joes Backyard restaurant, the food was not great.
