Firstly I want to mention that I stay here quite often - last year I spent nearly 60 nights in this hotel. For me the location is perfect, great choice of restaurants within this hotel and within a short walk. Other than the location, one of the reasons I keep coming back is that the staff are always so friendly and welcoming. The rooms are to a good standard and always very clean. It can be noisy on a Thursday night, but that can be said about a lot of hotels in Dubai. It’s frustrating that the millennium group changed their loyalty scheme a while back and this is making me think about my future stays (but this isn’t the hotels fault). The music in the crystal bar is too loud (to the point of distorting) but other than that it’s a great hotel.
