“This hotel has a lot going for it, but I'm most impressed with the team's commitment to personal service. The location puts you right in the heart of Downtown, with direct access to Dubai Mall, but it's the small details that elevate a stay here: a birthday surprise for a child or remembering a face at breakfast. A luxury property, certainly, but one that's clearly managed with care.”

incorrect orderobstructed view
I did have issues with the room service. My order was incorrect, and the food arrived cold. the promised Burj Khalifa view was obstructed by another building. I felt cheated, it was not worth the extra cost.
i appreciated the cleanliness, misba handled our room nicely. staff were friendly. the room was spacious and quiet, i slept well in the comfortable bed.
my husband asked for chopsticks and a fork but they didn't come after 20 minutes. we called again and after 40 minutes we still hadn't got them. this meant we had to throw away our food and eat out.
