10/10 Excellent
"Exceptional staff, very welcoming and kind throughout our extended stay! Special thanks to Khodarhm, who was always very pleasant and helpful. Also, we had a special delivery with a kind handwritten note from Kunga, the guest relations supervisor. We love the property and staff and the breakfast is excellent daily! We always stay with Shangri-La, and the Dubai location exceeded our expectations! We will be back!"
