We stayed here for a one night stop over between flights and its fantastic for that purpose as everything you could need is in the hotel. They have a variety of restaurants, an 'English pub' and Starbucks coffee. There is also a great pool and spa area and beauty salon. The staff were friendly and obliging and the room was comfortable and clean.

OMG loved this hotel, was simply superb, thought everything about this was brilliant and the Spa was great, i booked me a package on the spa was really really cool. Staff excellent, food brilliant, rooms plush and ever so quiet, love the lift!!! I booked through laterooms.com as always, always have cheap rates x

Lovely hotel! Only stayed for 2 nights for a quick stop over wish I could have stayed longer! Arrived early morning but couldnt get into my room straight away. All the early morning arrivals were falling asleep in the cafe area on comfy sofas whilst waiting for their rooms. Reception was quite helpful with trying to get my room ready asap. Managed to get about 10am.

Book directly through the hotel website for the best deal.

Stayed in executive room on the top floor- gorgeous. Fab bed, lots of space. Great view of the museum and the surrounding area. Bathroom was very small though and was a bath-come-shower type. Would have been better with a walk-in shower and seperate bath perhaps. Basin way too small in that there was no where to put your toiletries!! But nevertheless you worked around that minor detail. Broadband is included but had problems. After trying the 3 cables reception gave me they sent the technician up. Broadband - not quite as fast as it should be.

Location - great for wandering around as the river is very close so you can catch the water taxi to the souks on the other side and so is a lot of shopping areas. Just have a wander - cant really get lost! Plus the dubai museum is literally a stones throw opposite the hotel so just look for the signs to the museum!

Breakfast also included - buffet - not too bad. Also included with the room for the evenings are 3 free alcoholic/non-alcoholic drinks in the executive lounge and canapes which was great! Though one night a request for an alcoholic drink at around 10:20pm was refused as the lady on duty wanted to pack up and go home!! (The exec lounge closes at 11pm) Wireless connection in lounge is free but really bad. You get a strong signal but its extremely slow and cuts out frequently.

Great guy on the door who will call a taxi for you using a whistle. Check the other reviewers pics - the guy in the traditional dress with the fab beard and mush - Loved him!

Didnt get to try the hotel restaurants! Maybe next time!

Hi if you have never been to dubai, this is a city hotel, the staff are very helpfull realy nice place. Rooms were good. We took the executive room, they have their own check in and out, you have the whole of the executive floor to yourselfs. Beer, wine and whisky is free from I think 9 to 10 everyday. They make realy nice fresh masala tea when you need it free of charge. The pool is good the sunbeds are usually full.Usually get one after a few minutes.Seperate kiddies pool. The pool area is not that big but it is ok. The steam and sauna room is good they have seperate timmings for men and women so that was no problem. You also get a free 15 massage. Which we both enjoyed and had booked ourselfs for a full body massage nice and soothing. The musem is across the road. Not alot to see from the windows no balconys. Meena baazar is walking distance so is the river. Across the river is the spice suk. You have to go to the wild wadi water park it is great. The desert safari is great, they now serve achoal in some camps but it is expensive, we went in febuary and the desert gets very cold at night so take a jumper. The river cruise it good the entertaiment was good . Sorry i do not have any photos left to share. Was a great holiday. was very safe not drunken louts or people shouting abuse.
