Pros:

Very conveniently located as it is just a 2 minute walk from the metro station. The room was very clean and spacious. I asked the staff if they could help with booking an excursion but they seemed totally baffled and made no attempt to help which was really disappointing. I also asked some other questions about restaurants I could visit nearby but they didn’t seem interested in helping me. They also barely smiled whilst speaking with them. Overall the hotel was nice but the staff really need some customer service training.

Very Bad Room Reservation & Check-in process
Pros:

I emailed, called multiple times & visited the hotel before my family could arrive at the hotel. The confirmation of the requested rooms was also given to me by the hotel reception. But when my family arrived the requested rooms were not given. In-fact the receptionist took 1 hour for checking us in. Finally post the intervention of the Maintenance Head we were allocated 2 smoking rooms. Our request was non-smoking. I had to stay with my kids in a smoking room for that night.

The breakfast at the hotel on day 1 was good but all the following days we had very basic and sad options for breakfast.

When I asked for an extension cord the hotel team did not understand my request and kept sending wrong things to us.

The bathroom door which is there in the shower area was missing in 1 of the rooms. This caused

I would rate my overall experience at a 1 out of 10.

Awesome and relaxing stay always
Pros:

I have stayed at the hotel previously and always return as the management - Mostafar and Rakan and the restaurant Manager - Mohammed - with their staff goes way beyond the usual to ensure the guest is provided the best service and comfort for every stay.
The rooms, bedding and essentials as well as the breakfast spread are all world-class and there is no more you can want during the stay there.
We booked for a week and one month later we are still there and look for nay reason to extend the visit
Thank you all for making it such a great and awesome occasion
