I had a decent stay at this hotel. The staff was really helpful and made the experience enjoyable, while the location was perfect for exploring the nearby attractions. However, the dining choices felt limited and not quite worth the price. On the upside, the rooms offered beautiful views of the palaces, but there was an unpleasant smell that detracted from the overall comfort.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which boasts a really nice location near the Emirates Palace and a short walk to the Marina Mall. The rooms were very clean and offered a great view of the city as well as the Presidential Palace, making my stay quite comfortable. The service from the staff was attentive and friendly, but the dining experience was a little underwhelming with just standard fare offered. Still, overall, it was great value for money.

I had a pleasant stay overall at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and I appreciated the daily linen changes. However, I did notice that the room amenities could be upgraded, especially for families. The service was generally friendly, although one staff member was a bit unaccommodating. The location is great, close to many attractions, but it's a bit of a trek to the Corniche. Dining options were good but somewhat limited, especially at breakfast. All in all, it offers decent value for money.

I had a pretty good stay at this hotel. The location is excellent, just a stone's throw away from major attractions. The rooms were spacious and offered stunning views of the Emirates Palace and Presidential Palace, especially at night. However, the service was hit or miss; while some staff were friendly, others seemed indifferent. Overall, it's a solid choice for its price, but there are definitely some areas that could use improvement.

I had a good time at the hotel with friendly staff and a clean environment. The pool area was really nice, and the location was perfect, close to the beach. However, the dining experience wasn’t the best, with very limited breakfast options. While the rooms are clean, they felt a bit dated and didn't quite meet luxury expectations for a five-star hotel.

The hotel is situated near the impressive Etihad Towers and offers stunning views of the Presidential Palace. While the rooms are spacious and comfortable, my experience was marred by having to be moved between different rooms. The staff were friendly, and the breakfast was enjoyable, but the service during a busy weekend could definitely be improved. The location is a bit isolated from the city center, but it provides a unique setting.

I had a great experience at the hotel, enjoying the beautiful views of both the presidential palace and the Palace of the Emirates from my spacious room. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, especially when they arranged vegetarian meals at dinner. However, the location was a bit far from major attractions, and there could be more options for dining. Overall, it was a comfortable and luxurious stay with some room for improvement.
