The hotel location was convenient, close to Al Fahidi Metro Station and Spinneys, making it easy to get around. The rooms were a bit dirty and neglected, giving off a neglected feeling, which was disappointing. However, the staff, especially Prakash and Arjun, were very helpful, and the room itself was clean and comfortable to stay in. The dining experience left much to be desired with a horrible smell, and the price did not match the value received at the property.

The hotel rooms are specious and well illuminated with natural light, convenient for Taxi and Metro station access but overpriced, giving a neglected feeling. Service needs improvement in terms of hospitality, often neglecting basic service etiquettes. The location is nice, accessible to Al Fahidi Metro Station and Spinneys, although comparatively expensive. The dining experience is overpriced and not recommended due to strong smells lingering. The facilities offered are not satisfactory for the price paid.

The hotel rooms are big, very clean, but with bugs and insects in the bathroom and missing a smart TV. The service, especially from Prakash and Arjun, is good despite some lack of patience. The location is good for South Asians, close to the metro and Indian restaurants, but a bit expensive for the facilities offered. The dining was good, though overpriced, with occasional smoking. Overall, the facilities were decent.

I arrived early and was pleasantly surprised with an upgrade to a spacious two-bedroom apartment with a big balcony, despite the initial hiccup of missing pillows. The rooms, while large and clean, had some issues with flaking paint. The hotel offers good value for the size of the rooms and cleanliness, although attention to maintenance could be improved.
