Categories

Cleanliness
8.3
Generally praised as very clean or 'spotlessly clean' in multiple reviews, though one review notes some housekeeping inconsistencies.
Service
9.1
Staff repeatedly described as very friendly, helpful and attentive; breakfast/room service team singled out for excellent service.
Location
8.7
Frequently noted as very central and within walking distance of sights and shops; downside is street noise from rooms facing the street.
Room Quality
7.1
Rooms are spacious with comfortable beds and well-equipped kitchens, but several mentions of street noise, weak heating/limited bedroom AC and a room with hot water issues lower this score.
Amenities
7.5
Good in-room amenities (kitchen appliances, laundry service) and breakfast options, but parking is tight, some TV channels failed and basic cleaning supplies were missing for one guest.
Value for Money
8.2
Multiple guests called it good value for location and comfort, with extras like a welcome wine noted; heat/AC and parking issues slightly temper this.
Food and Beverage
8.9
Breakfast is repeatedly praised as superb, freshly prepared and accommodating (room service provided by breakfast team).
Overall Experience
8.6
Many guests described an exceptional, comfortable stay and would return; a few operational issues (noise, parking, occasional housekeeping) prevent a top score.

Tercia-SA Tourist Guide
Pros:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
What an amazing stay at Desert Sands Boutique Apartments! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm smiles by the friendly reception staff.

The apartment was spacious, spotlessly clean, quiet, and offered the privacy we were looking for. Its central location made it easy to explore everything nearby, and the views were beautiful.

A special thank you to the breakfast team for going above and beyond by providing room service for us. Your kindness, helpfulness, and excellent service made our stay even more memorable.

The bed was incredibly comfortable—I slept like a baby! Breakfast was delicious, especially the freshly prepared omelette and warm, freshly baked rolls.

Every moment of our stay was enjoyable, and we highly recommend Desert Sands Boutique Apartments to anyone looking for exceptional hospitality, comfort, and a fantastic location. We will definitely be back!

Cons:

None

The stay was very comfortable and we would stay there again.
Pros:

It was walking distance from the shops.

Cons:

There is no broom or cleaning supplies except for dishwashing liquid in the apartment. The bin is very small and not sufficient.
