The 108 Hotel — Hotel in Zone 1

I stayed in this little gem of a boutique hotel for 5 nights in total.

With my flight arrival early in the morning (i.e. well before the usual check in time), I thought the hotel would offer to keep my bags in concierge until my room was ready.

Actually, the staff went above and beyond the call of duty by getting a room prepared early in the morning as well as offering me complimentary breakfast free of charge! Probably as they saw I was exhausted and hungry after a long flight. Truly amazing!

That set the tone for the rest of stay, as the staff in particular, Aimen, Mahrukh and Naveel were always on hand to recommend restaurants, trips and arranging taxis when I did not have my SIM card.

Overall, the room was very clean and spacious. Loved the powerful open shower and the brightness of the rooms. Rooms were cleaned and made up to high standards.

Having a pantry, on the single floor was great, which offered filtered water, tea / coffee and a microwave!

Breakfast is served in the adjacent restaurant Loafology. For guest there are 4 set menus to choose from, all offering ample amounts of food and choice of juices and tea / coffee.

Location wise, the hotel is not far from banks and Centaurus Mall, as well as the main markets of F6 and F7.

The only constructive feedback I would give, is that, it would still be nice to have coffee and tea making facilities in the rooms. Whilst a prayer mat is offered, there is no Qibla sign. The pantry should have a plastic recycling bin to dispose of the plastic water bottles. For wheelchair users, or the elderly there is no lift so just be mindful of that if you are travelling with parents / wheel chair users.

Overall, a great clean and centrally located hotel with great service and super friendly staff.

Would definitely...

We stayed at this small boutique hotel on two separate occasions and had a generally positive experience. The rooms are modern, clean, and comfortable, with well-appointed beds and a strong attention to detail. One of the pleasant surprises was the mini cupcakes waiting for us in the room—a thoughtful welcome gesture that added a personal touch.

The location is excellent, just a short walk from local shops and the Centaurus Mall, making it convenient for both leisure and shopping.

The front desk staff were professional, friendly, and consistently checked in with us to ensure everything was going smoothly. Their attentiveness genuinely enhanced our stay.

The bathroom featured a powerful shower with plenty of hot water, which was much appreciated. However, one odd design choice was the privacy curtain between the room and bathroom, which was positioned within the room rather than inside the bathroom itself—this felt a bit out of place and could be improved.

During our first stay, we had an early flight, and the hotel thoughtfully arranged a packed breakfast for us to take along—something we truly appreciated. On our second visit, we had the opportunity to try the restaurant for breakfast. Although it’s meant to open at 6:30 am, the staff were not ready to take orders even by 6:40 am. That said, once breakfast was finally served, the scrambled eggs with toast and coffee were delicious and worth the short wait. Since breakfast is à la carte, it’s good to allow at least 20 minutes for it to be prepared.

All in all, this is a well-run, comfortable hotel in a great location, with warm hospitality and several thoughtful touches. With a few tweaks—particularly around breakfast readiness and bathroom layout—it could offer an even more polished...

I managed to get a room directly from the hotel, it's a small 20 room boutique hotel.||Pros: WhatsApp made it easy to communicate, confirm our request for a late night airport pick up, etc. Check in was fast, staff helpful and the housekeeping staff even better. Our requests for extra mineral water bottles and a prayer mat were fulfilled quickly and with a smile. Room was clean with a modern decor. Bathroom is aged friendly with a shower stall, no creepy crawlies anywhere.||Breakfast comes as a set, is served to the table and free flow. We got to try everything they had, it was delicious. The hotel has an excellent bakery cafe. Did a takeaway order as well since I needed meals while settling down to an empty kitchen at home.||Cons: The beds are too high for my aged parents, so we made do with a high mattress on the floor for my dad. They were due to open up a lift that was under construction a few weeks later. Otherwise it's difficult for those less abled to use the stairs.||I will return as a female solo traveler too. It's conveniently located and easy to get a ride on an app. Since it is next to a main road, I imagine it gets noisy in the day...
