This hotel is new (like so many hotels in Dubai) and functioned well. It was, however, without soul. Sterile. Mediocre design, unattractive lighting and no atmosphere. And the staff were soulless and transactional. In four days, no one used my name once. Not at check-in, not when bringing my baggage to the room, or during check-out. And you know you are staying in a 3-star hotel when profit margins dictate that they call someone to check the minibar before you leave, because they don't trust you. Clean, functional, works in a transactional way, but totally uninspiring and forgettable.
