“Very nice”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

We stayed here for 2 nights whilst in Abu Dhabi for the 2nd England Pakistan test match.

The hotel was a relatively short distance from the airport and the cricket ground. So for this trip it was in a great location, but if you want to spend your days 'in town' the distance is a bit too far to make it practical, but as taxis are cheap in the UAE, not impossible.

Our room was very nice and well appointed with a welcome fruit bowl and note from the manager and for a tea drinker that great little extra of a kettle rather than a coffee maker!

The bed was comfortable and the bathroom very clean.

Breakfast was included in our rate and was very good with a plentiful selection of dishes.

I cannot comment on the restaurants, but did try the Y bar; which was a really nice venue, if a little too smokey. Unfortunately that seems to come with the territory in the Middle East!

Overall the hotel is very good value, well appointed, nicely decorated with helpful staff. I would definitely stay here again if I was coming to an event at Yas island or to the nearby Cricket Stadium or Golf Course.

“4 star room but only 2 star service and food!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

Stayed here on for a meeting last week. The front desk was functional and check in was quick. The room was big, very nice decor, comfortable bed, and nice bathroom. Free wireless internet was available in the room and elsewhere in the hotel. I did not use the gym but went down to try their dinner buffet. The food was not appealing. The display of food however was nice. The choices were very limited and no where near the price charged. The main dishes included 2 types of rices, chicken curry and grilled fish. Nothing more! Ordered fresh pineapple juice and was offered canned juice! there was no fresh pineapple available. You can easily eat a better food at a decent restuarant and pay a fraction of what you would pay at the Yas Island Rotana. The cafe in the lobby is nice but the coffee had no aroma and I would certainly fail them for that too. I did not dare to try their deserts. Check out was easy and efficient.

Room Tip: Do not eat there.

“Great experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

High standard. All staff are very pleasant & try their best accomodate guests needs. If you don't see what you are looking for then ASK. More often than not you will be satisfied. This applies to a lot of things in AbuDhabi.

Room Tip: Face the racetrack. This gives the best views.

“Bit stranded when there is no F1 on...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

Perfectly harmless hotel a short walk away from the pits area of the Formula 1 Grand Prix circuit in Abu Dhabi. But that's about it really. Nothing except the race track and other F1 hotels nearby. Everything else a taxi ride away...
