"The room was clean, well-maintained, air conditioning was the right temperature. I found the staff very friendly, helpful and professional. I did not try their breakfast but I did try their coffee at Al Nakheel Restaurant and it was very nice. The hotel is ideally situated close to the Al Batha'a metro station and there are some restaurants and plenty of grocery shops around. I did not have enough time to explore but I heard there are many things around the hotel to check out. Overall I would recommend the hotel, they have a business center, a beautiful and cosy lobby with a cafe."
