Perfect get-away in rather minimalistic hotel, it has none of the Arabic inspired interiors otherwise common here. Bathroom in a build quality I had not seen previously with a large shower for two. Breakfast room very roomy, never crowded during our stay, and a good spread offered. It is very central but still not down-town, doormen had problems hailing a standard taxi and often brought in more exclusive app-hailed taxis; very comfortable but at least double in price. There is a bus-line just outside which brings you to the Metro, it took 8 minutes. There is also a small marine station at the board walk which takes you over the creek in boat taxis, nice change from the horrendous traffic.
Pool area highly recommended, with access to a lounge bar / restaurant.
