I had a wonderful stay at Holiday Inn Express Safa Park. The hotel is very clean, with spacious rooms and modern amenities. The staff were incredibly helpful and attentive throughout our visit. The breakfast had a good variety, but I wish there were more options available. The location is perfect for exploring Dubai, but the Wi-Fi needs to be included at no extra charge to enhance the experience.

My stay at the Holiday Inn Express Safa Park was quite mixed. The hotel has a fantastic location that makes it easy to explore Dubai.

Staying at this hotel was a rewarding experience, thanks to its excellent location near modern attractions and a very attentive staff.
