I had a pretty solid experience at Knight Castle Hotel, even though there were a few hiccups.

During my stay at Knight Castle Hotel in Dubai, I was impressed by the genuinely excellent service. especially from the welcoming agent, Raman, and the knowledgeable concierge, Sendrick. However, there were some issues with my room's cleanliness and a lack of hot water that affected my overall experience. While I loved the hotel's beautiful design and the breakfast variety, these concerns kept my rating from being higher.
