Dubai Desert Holidays

Great hotel in a fantastic location

Don’t want to share

Lovely little getaway for the National Day holidays. Pleasantly surprised about property and amenities, incl access via the neighboring JA hotels. Super friendly welcome by Sulith at front desk. Will be back!

I had a disappointing check-in experience at the hotel. As an Expedia gold member, I was expecting to receive an upgrade, subject to availability. Surprisingly, there was an available upgrade, but the hotel staff informed me that I needed to be a gold member with their specific program. I requested, at the very least, a room with a view, highlighting my status as an Expedia gold member. However, the receptionist signed me up for their membership, even though I already had a membership with Expedia. The check-in process was frustratingly slow, with an excessive amount of paperwork to sign. While the hotel itself was decent, I believe there is room for improvement in their services. They should be more accommodating to guests who come from different platforms with various memberships. It's disheartening that, despite being a loyal Expedia member since 2010, I was treated in such a manner simply because I didn't make a direct reservation with the hotel.

Very nice view from the canal side room. Very convenient to visit Jameel Art Center which exhibits high standard contemporary arts from all over the world. We enjoyed a lot .
