Gardenia is praised for its Arabic buffet, Italian buffet and seafood nights with fresh fish and tartare.

The rooftop pool is a recurring highlight, with one guest describing the view from the top floor as beautiful.
Cleanliness
Guests regularly mention spotless rooms and well-maintained facilities.
Nearby Essentials

Tips for a Better Visit
Ask Directions. Ask reception for the clearest route to the metro; one guest found the station easy to reach but wanted better directions.
Choose Floors. If noise matters, ask for a room away from the rooftop pool and traffic-facing areas.
Visit Off-Peak. The pool and lobby are relatively small, so quieter periods should be more comfortable when occupancy is high.
Allow Walking Time. Mall of the Emirates is about a 20-minute walk or one metro stop from the hotel.
Clarify Extras. Before using the spa, confirm exactly what is included and the price, given one serious complaint about extra services.
Check Internet. If you need reliable overnight Wi-Fi for work, confirm the current arrangement before booking; one guest reported repeated nighttime outages.

The Bottom Line
Cosmopolitan Hotel is a practical Al Barsha base for visitors who value Metro access, roomy rooms and nearby everyday conveniences. Sharaf DG Metro station is usually a 5–10 minute walk away, while Mall of the Emirates is one stop by Metro or roughly a 20-minute walk. There is plenty to do without leaving the building.
Gardenia draws praise for its Arabic and Italian buffets, as well as seafood nights featuring fresh fish and tartare. Americano Café & Lounge is a calmer lobby option for coffee, breakfast or laptop time; reviews mention salmon, mozzarella sandwiches, desserts and Starbucks coffee. The rooftop pool is another recurring attraction, though it is small.
Staff, cleanliness and breakfast are the hotel’s strongest themes. Guests describe fresh omelettes, pancakes, spacious rooms and helpful service. The surrounding area has supermarkets, pharmacies and restaurants within easy walking distance.
Noise is the main caveat. Lower rooms can pick up traffic, rooms below the pool may hear early cleaning, and one stay was disrupted by construction. If booking for work, confirm current Wi-Fi arrangements too: a review reported repeated overnight outages.
A separate review raises a serious complaint about extra charges at the spa, so clarify inclusions before using it.
