For the price it’s great.

For the price they charge, the only way to justify it is because of its proximity to Dubai Mall.

Room size75Split
Rooms are little less spacious.

If I had to mention anything, it would only be that rooms are on the slightly compact side, but this is more than made up for by the quality, cleanliness, and location.
