For Expo 2020, you can't do much better than this. The Metro station is right outside, one stop away from the Expo, but if you want to go into the city, it's a longer ride. With the Expo ending, I would only recommend this hotel if you're doing business in the Investment Park or just want a cheap hotel, (though there are reasonable places closer to the city as well). The staff were extremely polite and treated me like a VIP, though they seemed somewhat inexperienced. I'm not sure how old this hotel is, but a little renovation work wouldn't hurt. It's minor things, like cracks in the molding and flickering lights that need replacing. The business center also had no ink or paper in its printer. Better ventilation for the smoking rooms is a must, as the hallway reeked of cigarette smoke, thankfully my room did not. My room was overall clean, large and comfortable. The breakfast was decent, a mix of Western, Indian and Arabian (so no pork bacon). There is also a dive bar and restaurant on site but it seemed to be always full of loud, drunk, smoking guests and their friends. Nevertheless the food was decent and was one of the only places nearby you could get an alcoholic beverage. If you didn't get dinner elsewhere before turning in, its certainly not the worst option. Overall, a mixed bag, with the proximity to the Expo being a major selling point, which is soon to be moot.
