Breakfast included many choices. Staff assisted me very fast with taxis. The Careem app works well. I had access to the fitness center daily.
Coffee took a long time at breakfast. I waited for a coffee more than once. I sometimes left without any coffee.

The hotel have a perfect location, close to the Mall. Staff was friendly and very helpful too. I had a early check in. The pool was awesome, I liked it very much.
Our room face the roadside and the traffic make it difficult to sleep well. Housekeeping didn't charge the room fully after cleaning. I find it unproffesional.
