This is an excellent review especially due to Niranjana who was a realtime assistance even in Dubai. I love the hotels that Pickyourtrail books for us, its always best and prime location. Sales team needs to work on planning flight timings and check-in timings better. However, Niranjana was really prompt and helped me with early check-in , late check-out. Thanks overall 10/10Preeti Dsouza, Trip to Dubai
