What guests report

View

Older heritage building rooms overlook courtyards with water features and arched windows; newer wing rooms have better light but less character; some rooms face walls

Bed & mattress

Exceptional comfort—Duxiana beds with €15,000+ horsehair mattresses consistently praised as among best sleep ever experienced

Bathroom & water

Hot water pressure inconsistent—weak pressure and insufficient hot water supply are recurring complaints; luxury Acqua di Parma amenities provided

Wi-Fi

Very fast and reliable WIFI throughout property

Breakfast

À la carte unlimited menu with multiple options (Arab, European, Indian) daily; fresh, flavorful, beautifully presented; considered among best hotel breakfasts in UAE

AC / heating

Well-controlled air conditioning in rooms; some guests noted AC placed directly over bed creating discomfort

Local knowledge

Rooms in the older heritage buildings are darker at night but feel more atmospheric; newer wing rooms have better natural light

Book the pool and spa in advance—they require pre-booking and have limited slots

Request a room with a patio for outdoor seating during cooler months; summer patios are too hot
