This hotel made our holiday five star!! The staff are so friendly and helpful and you do not want for anything. They will even go and check what the weather is going to be like if you ask them. The hotel is amazing and the rooms are excellent quality and were cleaned twice a day if you did not put your do not disturb sign on. We had an early morning flight but checking in was no problem and our room was avaliable straight away. Due to all the construction in dubai, you will alway have a crane for your view but we also had the mouth of dubai creek and the skyline was amazing at night. Best of all was the food. The hotel has 6 different restuarants, the best being the revolving one on the 21st floor, with a fantastic buffet offering you food from all over the world, but I also enjoyed another resturant called the Kitchen. I would also recommend the Spa for a massage as it really relaxes you. The only disadvantage is that you cannot lay by the pool later than 2pm but they cater for that by having a sun deck, which is just as good, you can order your drinks and food by the phone nad they will bring this to you as well.
Location wise we found this perfect, 15 min walk from the gold souk and everywhere else is no longer than a 30 min taxi, and taxis are very cheap. The bar was very busy when we stayed but i am already looking to stay here again next year!!!

We stayed for 2 nights in a Regency Club room. All hotels in Dubai are expensive - and given that you can only drink in a hotel bar, this was a good option, as evening drinks were included. The lounge included supper, breakfast, 3 pcs with internet connection, newspapers etc.
Check in was very smooth and quick, and staff were always very attentive. The room was big and well equipped with a good view. A negative was an annoying glass panel which allowed light from the bathroom into the bedroom.
The hotel is within walking distance from the gold souk, creek, old city etc.

After arriving at the hotel at 7.30am off an 8 hour flight It was such a relief to be checked in an shown to our rooms with no fuss about the early check in time. I found the rooms very spacious and clean with views over the ocean in the distance - one of our rooms overlooked the building site of one of the palm islands which was interesting to see - there was no noise from that. I realise that this is primarily a business hotel and not a resort type of hotel, the location is within walking distance (a fair way) of the creek and the gold souks - taking a taxi from the hotel towards the Madinat etc is very frustrating and time consuming as the traffic in the vicinity of the hotel is very slow and heavy. The shopping centre attached to the hotel is not worth a visit - there is an ice rink in the centre, but when we took a walk around there was no one using it and the shops were very basic in comparison to all the other very impressive malls in Dubai. The business centre is efficient and the breakfast choice was quite wide. In general the staff were helpfull and eager to please.

The hotel, room, service, food, everything was absolutely great!!! I would definetely go back. The location is also very good, is close to all main tourist places.
