    A fantastic price value ratio. We love it. Especially the German restaurant Brauhaus with the best beer in the world: Löwenbräu and HB. 💕 We also loved the interior design if our room. It was the first hotel room we stayed in, in middle east, where the colors of the interior were really matching and inviting. White/blue/turquoise. Beautiful 😊

    Classy looking hotel with beautifully designed rooms, bars and well laid out. the staff are super friendly, the breakfast is worth the money as there is a good selection, the Rooftop pool and sun loungers were a good place to be in the sun, the bar and restaurants are a good place to spend the evening if you are just looking to chill at the hotel. Free parking underneath the hotel with plenty of parking spaces as well.

    The location is stunning, the room was lovely - we had a desert view room with a small balcony. Everywhere was immaculate, authentically Arabian and beautiful. The pool area has been thoughtfully designed and when we were there, it was very quiet and no problem getting a cabana or sun bed. I can also highly recommend the sunrise camel ride. Breakfast was pleasant but not outstanding.

    The hotel is generally fabulous from the outside and inside. Almost all staff are amazingly friendly. The walls are adorned with gorgeous portraits all over the hotel. The room is stunningly cosy and comfortable. The bed, the bathroom, and the design of the rooms are stylish. I liked everything in this hotel. I came with my family, and they were exhilarated with everything including the surroundings. They parking was great too.
