I've stayed in 12 hotels in Dubai and over 500 worldwide, and this is the first hotel I've given a review for (I don't like giving reviews for the sake of it, unless it's exceptional like this, or very poor), although a bit away from attractions, this is without doubt the best.

I'm an Accor Hotel member, but I didn't get a room upgrade, and I couldn't even enjoy the view from the lowest floor.

Too few mentions to judge: quiet at night, value, beds and room condition.
