Review of Burj Al Arab Hotel

Considering this hotel claims to be the number one...

Considering this hotel claims to be the number one hotel in the world, expectations were high and the hotel fell far short of expectations. The hotel is beautiful, but I have seen others that are comparable. We had breakfast at the Sahn Eddar restaurant and it was not very good. The food was mediocre at best and so was the service. If this was a normal hotel, it would have been ok, but the only reason we came was because they consider themselves to be the best hotel in the world. It is all marketing and this hotel really falls short. I have stayed at lots of hotels with better service and food. To put it in to perspective, they charge 350AED per person or $95 USD per person and standard chain restaurants provide better food for 35AED or $10 USD. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.
