Had a nice stay, would love to return to this hotel.
Pros:
Location - surrounded by hotels, restaurant, gift shops, grocery shops and apartments. Weather is good after sunset, night life is open till 3 am. Taxi is available the moment you step out of the hotel. Al Rigga metro station is 300 metres from hotel. Use metro only if you are on budget as it is crowded, didn't see tourist using it.
Rooms: spacious, neat, clean. Corridors have fresh air defusors. Compact gym and a small pool in the rooftop. Got interconnected rooms as we were two families. WiFi with good speed.
Food: breakfast has vast spread of breads, baked beans, sausage, live egg station, fruits, muffins, noodles, yougart, Chinese counter, Indian counter, juices and lot of bakery items. Didn't try their lunch or dinner.
Staff: extremely professional and friendly.

Cons:
Ambience: rooms don't have good view. You can only see neighbouring apartments from the room.
Travel desk: Couldn't take the service due to high price. Got better rates and excellent package from a travel agent.
