    Not really anything - the pool was in one of the other hotels in the Souq but they took us down there if we needed in a golf buggy or we walked 5 minutes through the Souq so not really an issue

    We stayed at the Arumaila hotel of the Boutique. The location was so perfect right next to the Souq, east walk to many places including the metro. Taxi stop was right outside the door. All the staff were amazing, very helpful especially Fahad. Room was very clean and a very good size as a standard; changed bedding every day with fresh coffee, water, we did not have breakfast at the hotel as we were getting up too late so cannot comment on food

    They changed our rooms to another building far away, and they did not give us any clear guidance on where to park and how to access the hotel and we had old people in our group which was difficult.

    Location is great but accessibility is q bit difficult for old poeple

    Nothing to complaint. They have hotels in all Souq. So just reconfirm for the exact hotels you are staying.

    Fantastic location, Excellent people. Many good food with 100m.

    We had booked 2 rooms, 208 & 209. When we arrived in our rooms, around 7 pm, there was no running water. We are not able to have a shower (all 4 of us) until nearly midnight. We had to call reception twice to get the problem sorted. We were hoping staff could have made a good gesture and provide some sort of compensation!

    The rooms were comfortable, most of the staff friendly and polite. Breakfast was OK.

    The breakfast was located in the Al Bidda hotel located in another building. Not too much of an issue though.

    Location is excellent - right in the heart of Souq Waqif. Room was clean and staff was very responsive. The hotel gives you a stamped receipt that allows you to park for free in the underground parking.

    Convenient stay in the heart of historical city

    1. The switch between small and big shower did not work properly: when switching to one of them, the other is leaking. The shower area feels too small, excess of water splashes on the floor. Not a big problem, but it does not make a good impression. 2. There was basically no place to conveniently hang towels either in the room or in the bathroom, we used hangers for dress for that! There was 2 small hangers on the shower door with bathrobes, wich we could move to the cupboard and put our towels on them, but we did not realize that we could do so. It would be more comfortable to have a pair of wide towel hangers installed. 3. There was no free socket in the room to charge phone. I had to disconnect the kettle to put my phone. Usually, more sockets are expected to be available in the room. 4. The lighting switches are not super convenient (they are only small buttons and need good precision of your finger to switch the right one:), and even with clear signs of wear off. 5. At last, it may be puzzling to find this hotel if you don't have a map. Luckily, the staff from a neighbor hotel guided us to this one. Apparently, there are several hotels combined under "Souq Waqif Boutique Hotels", and our particular hotel was called "Arumaila". I realized this only after travel when I specifically looked into the detailes of my booking. Apparently, you can check in at any of the hotels of this group and be guided to the right one by the staff. As you see, we did not have a major problem, but we were a bit puzzled about several practical aspects.

    The hotel is nicely located in the heart of historical area, 5 min walk from metro station. The room is beautiful and quiet, and the bed is comfortable. The staff is very friendly and a welcome fruit plate is delivered to the room, which was a nice surprise. Diverse lighting is installed in the room. The toiletries (the soap, shampoo, etc) have pleasant flavor and are very nice. Although the shower not so much.

    My only feedback about the property would be more explanation upfront, but the many hotels and many locations and options, this was a bit confusing.

    First, let me tell you how amazing the spa is! The staff went above and beyond, and were gracious and lovely every interaction we had. I cannot recommend the Hammam massage more. A staff member insured that we were driven to the spa and picked up with no moments of waiting for them and we’re so happy and willing to be of assistance. The spa was only around the corner, but he insisted he walk us from the door to the spa as well.

    I have to leave the building for breakfast. The room is either really bright with the lights on or very dark with them off. Why is there only one bedside lamp? Difficult to plug in phone charger on both sides of the bed - I had to move the bedside tables myself. Not many tea bags supplied. Coffee pods - 2 out of 3 were decaffeinated - why?

    Comfortable, check in easy. Good Location of course

    It was difficult to get a taxi to come to the right branch of the hotel due to road closures and the wifi was very bad.

    Abu Bakar the head concierge made my stay very successful although through a miscommmunication I failed to get an early booking he managed to get me into a room fairly early, I had asked for a balcony which unfortunately was not available.

    Breakfast was in another building. When not lucky to don’t have the gulf car immediately available it is too bad to wait for that. We asked for a small additional bed for our baby. It was not that functional and safe…

    The room lacked a decent view from the windows - basically they were blocked out as they overlooked a back street. Souq Wakif is a vibrant area and a view of the market place would have been perfect.

    We were upgraded to a deluxe suits from a junior suite. The Deluxe suite was spacious and well decorated. Facilities in the room were good as was bathroom and shower. Biggest shower room I have experienced.
