Best rooms

Request a high-floor room on the north side of the building, away from Bin Daher Street. These rooms face the creek and offer better views with reduced traffic noise. Floors 7-10 are ideal for quietness and outlook.

Request a high-floor ocean-facing room on floors 15-20. The hotel is set back from Vienna Street, so these floors offer unobstructed Arabian Gulf views and minimal street noise.

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms on floors 1-5, especially those facing south towards Bin Daher Street. Street noise can be noticeable, and lower floors may pick up lobby/hallway sounds. Also avoid rooms near the lift banks on any floor.

Avoid rooms on floors 1-4, as they face the main entrance and pool area, and can get noise from lobby traffic and landscaping equipment. Also avoid rooms ending in '01' or adjacent to lift banks—these are near service elevators.

Free basic WiFi (up to 10 Mbps) for all guests with room number; no login, just accept terms. A premium tier (50 Mbps) is available for 25 AED per day.
