The hotel accommodates a nice night pub and its own restaurant, rooms are big , with scenic windows, big washrooms , a must stay place with not so expensive tariffs, we stayed in the month of January and the tariff was 7k per day, not much expensive since January is known as top peak tourist season.

The impression was spoiled by the dirty windows, the condition of the carpet, and the shower head that was completely recessed into the wall.

The worst place ever, the reservation team are manipulators, they confirm the reservation online then force you to cancel it claiming that they didn’t receive it, then give you way higher rate….

One of the worst ever experience I had, the staff is so uneducated non professional & rude, in the middle of the night one of the stop directly open the door and came inside without knocking, upon calling reception they said sorry and cut the call rudely, such a horrible experience, not recommended…

Quiet at night19Weak spot
The hotel and location is perfect but it is surrounded by three mosques they don't follow UAE , they make the mic so loudly during praying which against UAE rules , due my night shift I couldn't sleep at all in the morning because of misuse of mic 🎙️ .
Google, May 2026, rated 3/5 by this guest
Average experience and it was quite disturbing whole night as club in basement makes alot of noise until 4am which makes it too disturbing.
Google, September 2026, rated 2/5 by this guest
An advice: ask for room not near the club as people were unable to sleep, other than that everything perfect.

Problems in the bathroom10 of 811 in 8 reviews
Additionally, the bathrooms lack proper drainage, causing water to spill onto the floor.
Google, August 2026, rated 4/5 by this guest
The best thing about it is the view of the creek and the comfort of the bed, but there are some issues: the bathroom smells bad.

Unexpected charges and refunds8 of 811 in 10 reviews
THEY CHARGE LIKE 300 DIRHAM TO 400 DIRHAM AS PER SURCHARGE
Google, February 2026, rated 3/5 by this guest
Unfortunately, the prices are exorbitant, and the parking is part of the hotel but managed by a company that's exploiting the situation by charging 50 per day, in addition to the hotel rental fee of 650.
