Highmoor Cross Vacations from AED3,713

The location of the hotel is great, as is the art in the corridors and the level of cleanliness. The only downside was that the television remote control was incredibly dirty, but this was an outlier: everything else was very clean and tidy. The shower was hot and powerful. The bed was comfortable. There is a free water dispenser in reception, which is useful, also a (paid) coffee machine and snack fridge.

Great location, clean rooms. However, as the hotel is located above a pub it is noisy and hard to sleep on Friday and Saturday nights. We could hear the pounding music which made it hard to sleep. There is no hotel common area or prescription area….. price reflects what you get.

The hotel was lovely overall, and we would return. We especially appreciated the bottle of wine and the lovely anniversary card waiting for us in the room—it was a thoughtful touch. However, the air conditioning was set far too cold and we were freezing during the night. There were also no biscuits provided with the tea and coffee. Breakfast had a reasonable selection, including scrambled eggs, bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms, bread, croissants, cereal, cheese and ham, but I found it quite bland and it wasn’t really to my taste. I mistakenly booked for one person instead of two. The hotel could not add my husbands name to the booking so I had to pay an additional £20 at the hotel. Despite these small issues, we enjoyed our stay and would happily return.

The hotel is beautiful and an amazing location. The breakfast was incredible! We had a really quiet room. The only issue is that our room was supposed to be with two beds. We arrived and there was a playpen in our room (weird) and it was a queen. We asked for two beds but they said they upgraded us to a room with a window so it was just one bed. They did eventually move the playpen. I wish we could have had no window and two beds. I’m not sure where the communication breakdown was but other than that the hotel was fabulous!
