    Normally every time I come into the hotel I search for SLEEPERS first and I didn't find and ofcourse I called to give me a pair and I noticed no TOOTHBRUSH I asked too...these 2 things are fine with me but the worst ones are the TOWELS..no TOWELS at all and I noticed it when I'm already wet..🙈so I have to run to the telephone and asked again..imagine my self hiding behind the main door and showing one of my hands to get the towels from the room service..😂🙈🙈🙈 I hope it will not happen again.

    The room is fine even though the booking.com asked me to upgrade to deluxe and I did but it looks like it's not deluxe.. anyway it's fine I got it at a cheaper price..I love the place because it's so convenient for everything you need.

    Noise levels. Lots of business groups staying at the hotel and using the bars and nightclub on ground floor until early morning hours. Smell of cigarette smoke in the corridors and lobby. We requested a smoke-free room which was ok. Facilities are old and tired. Room bathrooms need an upgrade. Shower was leaking water. Towel quality was not great. We also had to request additional towels for the second person in the room. The gym bathroom facilities were poor - no soap or towels on hand and the fixtures were falling off the wall.

    The location - 10 mins walk to Mall of Emirates and it’s Metro Station

    The breakfast dishes were quite the same every day. I don't know why, my room cards stopped operated every 2nd or 3rd day of staying. I should regularly ask to refresh it. Sometimes the room service team forgot to change the towels.

    Hotel located in the heart of Al Bashra 1 only 5 minutes walking from the Mall of the Emirates. The building looks ugly from the outside, but inside it is 100% Arabian chic with the decoration by gold and marble. Rooms are big and well decorated. Internet connection was stable. The hotel provide free shuttle bus to Jumeirah Public Beach.

    The receptionist named Alaa seemed annoyed receiving guests at the frontdesk. Never smiled at all.

    Location is near to Mall of Emirates.

    Pool area not very inviting and pool wasnt very big. Didnt like people smoking in public areas like the Pub but that is obviously acceptable to teh locals. Not enough towels and had to ask for extra every other day.

    Room was a good size as we upgraded. Thanks to Adnan who looked after us very well. Pub was good with friendly staff and good entertainment and good service. Dune Nightclub was busy with entertaining acts, a good club. Good location as only a short walk to the Emirates Mall and Train Station.

    The cleaners think they own the towels and often don't want to leave any in your room.

    The location and breakfast works well. The bar is like an oasis in a dry town.

    On 2 or 3 nights of my week long stay there was no towels left in my room. I think the staff think they own them.

    The location is good and the chance to have a beer in a dry town is the biggest bonus !
