This is a 4 star hotel but the difference with a 5 star hotel was huge. I would rate it as a 3 star hotel. The room is basic (TV, minibar and aircon) and the bathroom has only grey colours and harsh lighting. We requested a non-smoking room on a high floor and got a smoking room on the 2nd floor. I haven't found the restaurant. Both bars looked like disco's. Pool is small, deep and not well maintained. Reserved hotel car wasn't available when we were ready to go to the airport. The hotel was almost impossible to find because of a recent name change (previously The Hawthorn Hotel). Not much to do in the neighbourhood. Rate was AED 230 excluding taxes. Better stay in a 5 star hotel (for a little bit) more. It's not really bad, but I was suprised by the difference with 5 star hotels I stayed in before. more
