A very convenient hotel for short stays between flights or in your last day at Dubai if you have an early flight.
The staff is very friendly and efficient, always ready to give you a hand with a smile.
There is a free shuttle to the airport, which is specially good for going to the airport from the hotel. There is also a free shuttle to the Festival City Shopping Mall if you have spare time for shopping. The room is basic but very comfortable and spacious.
There are two restaurants, and also a Costa Cafe corner, which is open 24 hours, just in case that you don't have the time to have breakfast if your flight is very early in the morning.
Toiletries are poor.
The van running from/to the airport is just one, so it might not be that convenient for people on arrival, as you should have to wait a bit in the taxi/vans area, where you can't sit. Taxis are very cheap from the airport to the hotel, though.
Although Emirates Metro Station is very close, I was told by the staff that it was not possible to walk there, and that I had to take their shuttle to terminal 3 to take the metro from there. However, somebody at the hotel told me that it was just a 10 minute walk from the hotel.The metro is the most convenient place to move around, so waiting for the shuttle can be time consuming if you really want to have a look around and can walk to the Emirates station.
I was extremely pleased with my stay at this hotel and with the staff.
