The staff showed warm hospitality to us. The hotel's location was great as well. It was very near the Mall of Emirates and the Metro. Our room was cleaned everyday even if we did not request it. Breakfast was also good with a combination of different food.
I booked a Twin Beds Room. I found out there was no Twin Beds Room with a Road Side View. The room I was given was not clean. Carpets were not clean and had a bad smell. The room was a little dark and small. I was shifted to a Double Bed Room that was relatively better.
