  The St. Regis Downtown Dubai

  - “Absolutely the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in! Every single detail was perfect—from the warm smiles and unbelievably fast service to the flawless quality of everything in the room. The entire staff, from valet to managers, were exceptional, and a special thanks to ahmed (front office manager) for going above and beyond Everything exceeded my expectations and even my previous stay, which was already amazing. Not a single flaw, not even in the smallest details.”

  Sofitel Brisbane Central

  - “Stayed here for a work conference and found the location to be super convenient—close to everything we needed. Our room had a view of the carpark, which wasn’t the most scenic, but it turned out to be surprisingly entertaining as a movie was being filmed there during our stay! The hotel offered all the comfort and amenities expected of a Sofitel, and it made for a smooth and enjoyable work trip. Would definitely stay again, hopefully with a better view next time!”

  Maison Des Jardins B & B

  - “We had a wonderful stay at Maison des Jardins. Yener met us and explained about parking (free at designated places on the street, or a mere $7.75 for 24 hours at a lot around the corner!). The notebook in the room tells you all you need to know about restaurants and things to do in Montreal; Yener also told us about fireworks happening that night! We enjoyed walking most places, but the metro is easily accessible and very clean and efficient. The B&B has a lovely outdoor space where you can have breakfast if you wish, or relax in later. The room was spacious, spotless, and quiet, large bathroom, delicious and varied breakfasts, where we met some nice people. Highly recommended — we will stay here again — thanks for everything, Yener!”

  Sofa Hotel

  - “Good location, 5 minutes walk to the Avanos neighborhood center with vibrant vibe, and many cafes, shops and restaurants. Staff are extremely friendly, helpful and polite. Instagramable design and decoration in the main area, garden and rooms. Breakfast variety is s nice, and bottomless tea is a nice gesture. Cave family room is unique in terms of its ancient structure, decoration, lighting and layout. Its size was good for a family of 4 adults. Quite, naturally cold (no AC) given it’s a cave with limited or no concrete. We only needed a fan to circulate the air in the room. Parking is available.”
