The location is by far the best part of this hotel. Unfortunately, the rest did not meet the standards I expect from a 5-star hotel in Dubai. The room wasn’t properly cleaned upon arrival and had a bad smell. Service during breakfast and dinner was slow and confusing—orders were incorrect or delayed, and staff were not attentive. Housekeeping left cleaning cloths in the room, which our kids ended up playing with. The elevator from the 22nd floor took 15 minutes as it stopped on every floor. No strollers available to borrow. The half-board concept was unclear. Breakfast included warm juice from concentrate. Overall, this hotel was far below the quality I’ve experienced at other 5-star hotels. Would not recommend—except for the location.
