I was not able to use the rooftop bar area either day of my stay because of special events, which I think are quite frequent these days. Very disappointing because the rooftop bar was a big part of my reason for choosing to stay at Emara.

The room was hot. The 1st night there was a very loud party lasting late into the night. No sleep to be had until after 11pm. The wait staff could not explain the menu. Bathroom very small. Water dripping in sink.

Extremely Disappointing – We Left Mid-Stay Despite No Refund I booked a four-night business trip at Emara Ole-Sereni, and it turned out to be one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had. The reception service was chaotic – long lines, disorganized check-in, and rude, unhelpful staff who made us feel like we were an inconvenience rather than guests. The room cleanliness was unacceptable. It was clear that proper housekeeping standards are not being followed – dusty surfaces, stained linens, and an overall lack of hygiene that made it uncomfortable to stay. Despite having no refund option, we made the decision to cut our stay short and move to another hotel. That’s how bad it was. I would strongly advise business travelers and tourists alike to look elsewhere. This hotel does not live up to its reputation or pricing.

This is undoubtedly the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. First night on checkin staff lied to me and charged me an extra $500 dollars. Everyone I know had food poisoning, they lepft a wet patch on marble floor so I twisted ankle, knee and hurt back. They overcharge for everything such as tours and lifts to airport. If you complain they miraculously can't speak English properly or understand you. Don't waste your money go somewhere else like JW Marriott or Kempinski

It’s ok but not sure!!!

Nice hotel which is very secure with nice rooms. The food is good but really limited choice and quite expensive for what you actually get. Staff are nice and friendly but not the quickest! Rooms have nice views with comfy bed and bathroom. WiFi fast. All in, it’s a nice hotel but is it worth the extra cost? I’m not sure!!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Emara Ole-sereni, and it was a truly memorable experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive, making me feel right at home. The room was impeccably clean, spacious, and well-appointed with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. I especially appreciated the attention to detail and the thoughtful amenities provided. The hotel’s dining options were excellent — the food was delicious, beautifully presented, and the service was top-notch. Whether it was breakfast or dinner, every meal was a treat. What really stood out to me was the overall ambiance of the hotel. It strikes a perfect balance between luxury and comfort, with stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere that’s hard to beat. Thank you, Emara Ole-sereni, for a wonderful stay. I look forward to returning in the future!
