A top-hotel, which its 5 stars more than earned has. The breakfast buffet was very diverse, asian, american and european. Room service was very engaged and three days in the hotel we have really enjoyed. In the bathroom with its 7 metres wide, it was almost lost and the king size bed caused no back problems. … read more

Overwhelming! Had room 1313 and a great view of the skyline Dubai and a creek, that means investors with small yachts. In the evening there was even beautiful water games from 22 o'clock. Right attached to the hotel is the festival mall with incredible many shops, restaurants etc. We were thrilled by service and cleanliness. … read more
