Comfortable stay, and really great location. The staff were friendly, and the room was clean. However, the shower could do with a thorough scrub! I was travelling with a mate, and when we checked in they didn’t have a twin room that we booked, so we had to share a bed for the night until they had a twin available the next day.

We stayed at the first collection business bay for two nights and it was good although didn’t have enough time to experience facilities in full. There is no complimentary water in room and everything is chargeable which is poor for Dubai standards. This is basic necessity in life. 7/10.
