I would have given this 3.5, but I can't go 4 on it. The staff was pretty good, but after joining their rewards program, I felt I wasted my money. We stayed at the hotel for nearly a month and the hotel itself is very nice. The beach was well kept and pool is a great place to relax within... More

I came here for a conference. The coffee was old, acidic and thin. The hotel is nice but this Region has many nice hotels. The website gave poor directions, in fact, they where wrong. When I used the listed local number to call for help it was a 9-5 and only gave a call back later message. More

As part of a prestigious hotel chain I suggest you should take measures of quality training to the staff. Only by this perception our stay did not result positive and we can not recommend it. Only the kids Club gave a positive service. Very good breakfast, restaurant weak and expensive. More

This hotel was one of the first in Abu Dhabi back in the 70s, and was likely pretty swanky back then. Now it's a bit tired but functional. The main establishments are very good - the belgian bar and the Chamas brazilian BBQ shouldn't be missed - but the carpeting in the hotel proper is fairly dingy. I was also... More

I travel to AD often and always stay here. Arrive / depart at anytime and the staff smoothly takes care of everything. Good restaurants, great gym, pool is outstanding and all within a short cab ride (less than $5) to Marina Mall, The Corniche and central city (where my meetings are).

Went over new year for 10 nights. This is a relatively old hotel by Abu Dhabi standards and unfortunately, like most hotels in the state is surrounded by building. So although it is relatively close to the centre and the Corniche, walking anywhere is out of the question. The hotel suffers by comparison to some of the newer glitzier establishments... More
