    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The staff was friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome throughout our visit. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a modern design and a separate bath and rainshower. The king-size bed, along with the high-quality pillows and duvet, provided a great night's sleep. The AC was effective and controllable, ensuring our room was always at a comfortable temperature. The hotel also had excellent facilities, including a pool and gym. we felt that we received excellent value for our money.

    We felt like treated like royalty during our stay and have no complaints whatsoever.

    We absolutely loved our stay at Southern Sun in the city center. It offered great value for money with a spacious and comfortable room. The location was perfect, with easy access to taxis and buses, and close to malls and the beautiful Corniche Beach. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable, from the friendly reception staff to the helpful front desk manager who gave us great recommendations for attractions and saved us money on excursions. The rooftop pool with sunset views was a highlight, and we appreciated the daily room cleaning and towel changes by the attentive housekeeping staff.

    The breakfast offerings could be improved to provide more variety and options.

    Nice

    This hotel had some good complementary features that I liked. They provided free covered parking which was very convenient, and they had a good customer care system. Additionally, the location was perfect for the New Year celebration with a lot of attractions nearby.

    There were some negative aspects of my experience as well. The rooms were not very clean, and the view was not very good.

    Very good

    The hotel staff was extremely helpful during our stay, offering complementary coffee and tea in the lobby every morning and refreshing drinks by the pool. The hotel's location was perfect for exploring the local attractions, with many restaurants and shops within walking distance. We especially enjoyed the stunning views from our room, which overlooked the beautiful city skyline.

    We did have some issues with the food labeling in the hotel's restaurants. While the main dishes were clearly marked, the desserts were not, which could be dangerous for those with food allergies. Additionally, we were disappointed that alcoholic beverages were not included in the full board dinner package and had to be purchased separately.

    We recently stayed at Southern Sun for a few nights and had a fantastic experience. The lobby and rooms are beautifully designed, with a modern and clean aesthetic. The staff were incredibly accommodating and made us feel welcome throughout our stay. The hotel offers easy access to parking and has convenient lift access. We especially enjoyed the excellent restaurants on-site, including the Blue Bar which had a great happy hour and a lively atmosphere. The king size bed was extremely comfortable, with high-quality pillows and duvet. The spacious room had a modern feel, and we loved the separate bath and rain shower. The attentive staff added to the overall positive experience. The breakfast was delicious and served in a spacious dining area. The hotel is quite big and offers ample parking space. It truly has everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

    Totally recommend this hotel.
