The guest experience

9.5out of 10
1386 verified reviews

Loved most

  • Friendly, helpful staff (specific praise for Aynur)
  • Excellent location (near Dubai Mall, great views)
  • High level of cleanliness
  • Luxurious and comfortable rooms
  • Strong facilities and spa
  • Quiet, upscale atmosphere

Worth knowing — Occasional operational lapses (early check-in not honored) · Weird smell reported in one room · Pool becomes shaded after ~15:00 limiting sun time · Blind/lighting control issues in some rooms · May be less suited to families (more business/luxury-focused)

How guests scored the stay

  • Service10.0

    Numerous reviews praise friendly, professional and attentive staff (multiple mentions of staff member Aynur and duty manager), repeated stays highlight consistent high-quality service despite one operational lapse noted.

  • Location10.0

    Location repeatedly lauded (views, proximity to Dubai Mall, excellent location comments), making this a standout attribute.

  • Overall Experience10.0

    Majority of reviews describe exceptional stays, high recommendation and intent to return; a single negative, anxiety-inducing experience was reported but overall sentiment is outstanding.

  • Cleanliness9.8

    Multiple guests explicitly praised cleanliness and the hotel's tidiness; one guest reported a weird smell in a room, so score is slightly reduced from perfect.

  • Value for Money9.2

    Not frequently called out explicitly, but repeated comments about luxury, repeat stays and overall satisfaction indicate perceived strong value for the level of service and facilities.

  • Room Quality9.0

    Rooms described as large, comfortable and luxurious by several guests; a few notes about blinds/lighting control and one smell report justify a modest deduction.

  • Amenities9.0

    Spa, pool and multiple on-site restaurants are highlighted positively; one guest noted the pool is shaded after 15:00 which slightly reduces the amenities score.

  • Food and Beverage9.0

    Several mentions of on-site restaurants and one explicit '10/10' for food; generally positive but not extensively detailed in reviews.
