I booked 7 nights, in a twin bed apartment for my 11 yr old granddaughter & I. We arrived at 7.30am, wanted to have a shower at the gym & a swim then leave our bags until check in time. Instead we waited 10mins for the staff to find us another apartment that met our needs & headed off to our apartment, which was great & we did appreciate it. The apartment had a large master bedroom & a small one with a single bed & built in wardrobe- perfect for a child. The shared bathroom was fine. The kitchen area was excellent & it was great having a washing machine. My only comment would be not everyone comes from a country where washer / dryer combos are the norm so an instruction on how to use it would have been helpful as it was intuitive - we couldn't get the dryer bit to work at all so hung our clothes in the bathroom. There was a welcome basket with biscuits, coffee, tea & some nuts, which was very nice. The pool is shared with the ParkRoyal hotel, Pan Pacific hotel & apartments so quite a few people there but it was a large, very nice pool. A few more chairs or loungers would have been nice. The staff were very helpful. It was great having the hotel phone to take around, excellent for buying discounted attractions tickets & google maps when checking where to go. Arab St area is right across the road so easy to get great meals. The call to praye at the mosque, at 5.38am, did wake me up,but I was in Asia so enjoyed hearing it then went back to sleep. I will stay here again.
