Set on Tahlia Street in the buzzy Al Andalus district, Assila is the design-led, art-filled choice a little back from the seafront, and it earns its place with families through space and flexibility. Alongside the rooms there are serviced apartments with kitchenettes, which is a quiet blessing when you have a baby's routine or a child who only eats certain things, and free cots and connecting rooms make settling in simple. A twentieth-floor rooftop pool looks out over the skyline, with cabanas, loungers and a lifeguard, and there is a game room for downtime. It is a city hotel in a shopping and dining district rather than a beach base, so you swim on the roof and taxi to the Corniche, but the apartments and central buzz make it a smart, good-value family pick.
Our verdict
The smart-value, flexible pick for families who want kitchenette space and a central location over a beachfront setting. Book a serviced apartment if you have a baby or a fussy eater, and use the rooftop pool at the cooler ends of the day.
The rooms
Spacious contemporary rooms and suites, plus a set of serviced apartments with kitchenettes that suit longer family stays or fussier eaters. Free cots and infant beds are available and connecting rooms can be arranged, so a family of four settles in easily.

Parents also ask
Are the apartments worth it for a family?
For families with a baby or a fussy eater, yes: a kitchenette lets you prepare familiar food and keep routines, which is a real relief on a longer stay. For a short city break, a standard family room is usually enough.
How far is the Corniche?
The hotel sits inland in the Tahlia district, so the Corniche and its fountain are a short taxi ride rather than a walk. In exchange you are central for malls, restaurants and cafes.
Is there anywhere for children to swim?
There is a rooftop pool on the 20th floor with a lifeguard and shaded cabanas, best used in the cooler morning or evening hours. It is one pool rather than a family water complex, so keep little ones close.
