The hotel is conveniently attached to a huge shopping mall with exceptionally large rooms that feel like home, but there was a delay in room readiness upon check-in. The service was top-notch, with staff going above and beyond to assist, even with my energetic 2-year-old. The location, near the airport and with a big shopping mall downstairs, is superb, though not very close to the city center. The dining experience was good, especially with freshly made pizza. Overall, a great stay with minor room readiness issues.

I had a mix of experiences at the hotel. The rooms were cozy and well-prepared, but the lack of quiet was a downside during my stay. The service was welcoming and helpful, although it could benefit from better training for handling difficult situations. The location was excellent, connecting me to a vibrant area with plenty to do. The dining experience was superb with friendly staff and a great selection, yet there were some concerns about safety measures. Overall, the hotel offered good value for money with some room for improvement in various areas.

Our stay was beyond expectations! The hotel linked to the Festival Mall was a great choice. The rooms were not only clean and spacious but also exceeded our expectations from the booking pictures. The staff, despite being available only at checkout time, were incredibly friendly and cooperative, especially with our energetic 2-year-old. The location was perfect, situated close to the airport and downtown, making it convenient to enjoy the Festival City Mall and evening fountain shows.

The hotel is conveniently located near the airport and offers a lovely view of the sea at sunrise. The service was a mix of friendly and intrusive experiences.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, but they had a lingering smell of smoke the next day. On the bright side, we were pleasantly surprised by the arrangement of magazines in the room to make it feel like a cozy newspaper shop. However, we found the provision of three king-size beds and an extra bed in our suite a bit excessive for our needs.

The dining experience was a bit lackluster, with food that leaned excessively towards international flavors and occasionally felt dry. The yogurt was a safe choice, but overall, we felt the dining options could have been better for a hotel of this caliber.

The hotel has clean and nice rooms, with special arrangements for occasions like birthdays. The room I stayed in was a bit smaller and less comfortable compared to others. The staff is incredibly attentive and helpful, providing various services like room service and car hire. The location is great, close to a world-class institute and ideal for families and special events like New Year's Eve fireworks in Dubai. The dining experience was good with multiple options. The facilities are modern and well-maintained.
