Faduma from Malaysia (9/10)
I had a great experience at the hotel reception. Sara and Al-Jowhara were welcoming, professional, and made check-in smooth and quick. They were attentive to all my requests, and their friendly attitude set a positive tone for my stay. When I thought of extending my stay, I didn't hesitate to continue at the same hotel because of the excellent service I received. I felt well taken care of from the moment I arrived.

Apartment studio was super confy and equipped well. I found everything I needed in the kitchen for simple meals preparation. Bed is great, a little working space was enough to make WFH comfortable.
