Excellent-awesome
Amazing… beyond our expectations. They ensured we got an early check-in since one of the kids wasn’t feeling well. The rooms were adjoining, which was perfect for our family. The rooms were cleaned daily, and the staff were incredibly friendly, from booking taxis to assisting us at the concierge. We’ll definitely choose a First Collection hotel on our next trip to Dubai.

Really nice hotel, staff is superb from front desk, porters, housekeeping and restaurant staff. Highly recommend this place, but bit far from everything. Uber is there but ot can add up quick so better to book close to attractions for extra. Hotel provides transport but delays due to traffic (which is understandable and not the hotels fault). There's 24hr grocers around but few restaurants nearby. Hotel restaurant is great tho.

The best of the best!
No words to describe the service, atmosphere, cleanliness and everything else at this hotel. Super, super, super!!! Special THANK YOU to Samuel M. (front office supervisor). I had a problem with my credit card (someone hacked it in Turkey and made an illegal charge) so I had my bank send me a new one to Dubai. It arrived before we came and for some reason there was a duty on it. Was emailing with Samuel since I couldn't pay the duty online and he handled everything perfectly. THANK YOU SAMUEL and all stuff at the hotel for your friendliness, incredible service and unforgettable Dubai experience! We will be back.
