I was not able to use the rooftop bar area either day of my stay because of special events, which I think are quite frequent these days. Very disappointing because the rooftop bar was a big part of my reason for choosing to stay at Emara.

It’s ok but not sure!!!

Nice hotel which is very secure with nice rooms. The food is good but really limited choice and quite expensive for what you actually get. Staff are nice and friendly but not the quickest! Rooms have nice views with comfy bed and bathroom. WiFi fast. All in, it’s a nice hotel but is it worth the extra cost? I’m not sure!!
