Just checked out after 2 nights at this hotel. We picked it for the closeness to the port as we’re going on a cruise today. It is close, you can see our ship from the hotel!
It was dark when we arrived and very quiet but the next morning we woke up to construction work on 3 sides of the hotel, it starts at 7.30 and carries on all day! Didn’t bother us too much as we’ve been out exploring but decided to have a quiet couple of hours by the pool today before we leave. Quiet is impossible, constant construction noise!
Staff at hotel are all very pleasant, especially breakfast staff.
Rooms are nice with comfy beds and good air con but the carpet in ours was filthy. Covered in loads of stains and felt sticky if walked on with bare feet, yuk!
Rooftop pool is nice, comfortable chairs and pool attendant there to give out towels, just wish it was a bit quieter!
Bar area was mostly empty, we realised why when we paid £20 for 2 draft Heineken’s, needless to say we weren’t frequent visitors. Service in there was awful, one person doing all drinks for bar and restaurant!
We only went in the restaurant for breakfast and had mixed feelings, very mixed selection, my husband enjoyed the curry for breakfast I did not!
Evening buffets looked okay and were very busy, not for us though!
Nothing whatsoever to walk to except a petrol station with a decently stocked shop next door.
On check out we had to haul all of our luggage up to the pool with us, they have no secure luggage storage area or room, they just leave them in reception, not good enough!
We’re coming back to Dubai in a few weeks, we’ve booked a different hotel which I think was a good idea! Good for the port at this one but not much else!

Hello to all readers and to all Staff @ Trip !
I stayed here for 3 nights - Dec 11 to 14, 2019. Room 342. Double bed. This hotel is located near the port area and is 30 mins taxi ride from DXB T3. The stay cost me AED 1202, which I pre-paid ( £255)whilst -booking via a hotel search engine. The room was medium sized but comfortable for one person. The bathroom was tiny with adequate amenities on the sink and in the shower. The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet. Had a good sleep all 3 nights. The hotel was busy with lot of tourists . On the top floor , there is a gym and a pool. This converts into a roof top bar in the night. The drinks are very expensive in the hotel. One double shot of bacardi with a slice of lemon costs AED 80 ( £17). In the UK , this costs around £5. The lesson I learnt here is to pick up whatever you want from Dubai airport duty free at arrivals. The customs staff will permit you to carry a limited amount of alcoholic beverages for personal consumption, as long as it is in sealed bad with receipt. They do spot checks, sometimes. Now the hotel breakfast .....it was a medium spread with a live egg station . There is a handy pancake machine DIY. Fresh fruits , some arabic mezee, one or two indian dishes and lots of bread / cheese / yoghurt / cereals / cold cut meat. They do not serve any pork based dishes here. I found the breakfast adequate and fresh, but most lacked flavour taste. The coffee / tea machine was OK. I will maybe return , if I have business in this area. There is petrol station ( garage) about 10 mins walk from the hotel. Other than that, for all other provisions- ATM , pharmacy , mobile sim store , restaurants etc are a taxi ride away. The min cost is AED 14. Taxis are " please hail as you walk". The app based taxis are more expensive. Hotel / room pics attached .
