Al Noor Mosque

Firstly, this was a fantastic, large apartment in a brilliant location, with direct access to the Marina. The apartment was spotlessly clean and very functional, with all the facilities you’d need. The only issue was that it was just a little bare and really didn’t feel welcoming. It was a big space but with little character. It had a good sized kitchen with everything you’d expect including a washer/dryer, large fridge/freezer, microwave and coffee machine. Coffee capsules and bottled water provided every day which was a nice touch. Decent bathroom with a shower over the bath, and a large sink area. The bedroom was very large with plenty of wardrobe space, and an ironing board with iron. The bedroom also had a work desk and chair which were pretty comfy to work at. The living/dining area was also very large with a settee and large chair in front of the TV, and a dining table and chairs. One rather frustrating issue (the only one really) is the very few electrical sockets available in the whole apartment. The living/dining area doesn’t have a single socket anywhere! There are a couple of blanking plates where sockets appear to have been removed. This means you can’t work at the large table with a laptop if it needs a charger, and can’t even charge a phone in the living room. There are a couple of single sockets in the bedroom, and one at the desk, but that’s it. The kitchen has two sockets for the electrical appliances. Very odd!

All the staff were extremely polite, helpful, and provided excellent service, especially Aarti and Mir. I truly appreciate their hospitality. My only small suggestion would be to improve the breakfast menu by adding more variety. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and the staff made our stay even better.
