Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests frequently highlight the hotel's convenient location, with Souq Waqif only a short walk away and the main metro stations, including Msheireb Station, easily accessible. The spacious rooms, some featuring two bathrooms and a receiving area, are another commonly praised feature. While some guests have noted issues such as old carpets or occasional maintenance concerns, the proximity to attractions like the Corniche and MIA, combined with the room sizes, generally provides great value for money.
