I was forced to stay here due to the lack of availability of hotel rooms dur to the F1 race in Dubai this week. The online photos you will see when looking up the hotel were clearly taken YEARS ago. The property dated rapidly. The walls between rooms are wafer thin. Note this is the first time that I have... more

We stayed here in September 09 for a 3 night stopover on our way home from touring five weeks through Europe. On check-in we were upgraded to a suite....and it was wonderful. The room was very spacious with a corner lounge suite and coffee table, balcony with table & chairs, king size bed with heaps of comfortable pillows, huge amount... more

I've not been to Abu Dhabi before. When booking a hotel, I saw that the Shangri La was available at USD350/night, and the Le-Meridien at 660USD per night (2200 AED). Preferring Starwood in general and assuming that price = quality on some level, I booked the Le Meridien. I was shocked. The hotel is run-down in general, and my room....well,... more

We stayed here for two nights on a stopover in Abu Dhabi. Given it is a "5 star" hotel and it was expensive we were very disappointed. The room was average and overlooked a uninspiring back courtyard. The whole hotel looked a little tired and in need of a makeover. Buffet breakfast offered a good selection, but once again service... more

After some problems with the hotel taking payment and me almost cancelling, I was told they had sorted out the issue and had upgraded me to the royal club room with the exec lounge access so was happy even before we arrived :-) There were a few problems with check in as the booking didnt actually have the upgrade mentioned... more

Thoroughly enjoyed 9 nights at Le Meridien in July. Impressed by customer service and genuine welcoming nature of all staff. Hotel is located beside Abu Dhabi mall and is a good, central location for everything you need to see in the city. Excellent variety of restaurants in hotel and pool areas are well shaded with a ready supply of umbrellas.... more

Staff, Hotel Restaurant (Bistro) Meals & Accomodation... Acceptable. All Restaurants, Bars & seating areas are predominantly SMOKING with minimal space for NON SMOKERS. Hotel Bistro has SMOKING & NON SMOKING tables seperated by an open railing!!! Inside bar & Tea Lounge ALL SMOKING. If you are allergic to cigarette smoke this is not the Hotel for you. SMOKING problem applies... more

Booked to stay there purely due to the brand name and the reality was - A good name does not make a good hotel. First off, the staff seemed to have the idea that guests are stupid and they can make lame excuses to make the complaining guest go away. First morning during breakfast, there were 2 waiters against 10... more
