Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was convenient, offering easy access to the highway and a great starting point to explore the Liwa dunes. However, the rooms were a bit cold and lacked soundproofing, making noise from the pool area noticeable. The friendly service and good dining experience helped balance out some of the drawbacks.
Staying at this hotel felt like an oasis in the middle of the desert. The rooms were very nice and offered direct access to the swimming pool and garden, although they could have used more general lighting. The overall experience was excellent, with activities like horse and camel riding, ATV adventures, but unfortunately, the indoor kids' activities room was closed.
The hotel rooms were quite lovely and comfortable, though a bit small with limited space for work. The back side location of the room was not the best due to cigarette smoke in the air.
I found the hotel to be a mixed experience. The rooms were clean but had a dark view of the parking area or basement, which was not ideal. However, they were cozy and well-kept. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating a nice atmosphere for relaxation and offering various entertaining games like billiards, table tennis, and shooting. The location was convenient for exploring Liwa dunes and easy to locate after a long drive. Despite some drawbacks, it was a pleasant stay overall.
The hotel has a great location with exceptional proximity to various entertainment facilities, although the images online might not match the reality. The rooms are quite small but are kept clean with a dark ambiance above the bed. The service is top-notch overall but may have some lapses in communication. The dining experience offers reasonably diverse dishes, with both hot and cold options available. The facilities are satisfactory, offering a mix of modern amenities.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of pleasant experiences and a few disappointments. The room, though not exactly as advertised, was spotlessly clean and had a large comfortable bed, albeit lacking feather bedding. The staff, especially at the front office, were exceptional in their service, even going to great lengths to accommodate our requests. The location, conveniently situated near the highway and with easy access to Liwa dunes, was a real plus. However, the dining options were somewhat basic, though sufficient with a variety of hot and cold dishes.
I had a great time at the hotel, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was very friendly. However, the location was not what I expected, and the dining experience fell a bit short with limited choices. The facilities were satisfactory and offered enough for a pleasant stay.
My stay at the hotel was amazing! The rooms were humongous and super clean, plus being near the pool with direct access was a huge bonus. I did notice some issues with the price though, as it felt a bit high for what was offered.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with a modern design. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. However, sleep quality may be affected by ongoing construction noise. Enjoy the quiet and spacious swimming pool.
I stayed at this hotel for a night. The room I got faced a wall and was at the backside of the hotel, making it hard to sleep due to the noise from the new construction nearby. On the upside, it was clean.
