Thank you the Haythem from the reception 😃He gave the best and high quality service! Highly recommend!

Superb Accommodations and Service My recent stay at Bab Al Qasr Residence was a delightful experience enhanced by luxurious amenities, excellent staff, and a few areas where the hotel could shine even brighter. The Positives:- Impeccable Accommodations: My apartment was spotless, with modern furnishings and thoughtful details like a luxuriously comfortable bed and a high-tech bathroom with responsive climate control. The view of the Corniche was the cherry on top! Stellar Staff: From reception to room service to the spa, the staff went above and beyond with their warmth and efficiency. Their friendly service truly elevated my stay. Culinary Excellence: The main restaurant was a consistent delight with delicious main dishes, an expansive buffet, and a clever layout that prevented overcrowding. Room service, particularly the pizza, was top-notch, and while the desserts were a bit pricey, their quality was undeniable. Tranquil Spa: The spa provided an oasis of relaxation, boasting a top-tier sauna experience. The spa team's professionalism and attentiveness was a wonderful bonus. Pre-Arrival Support: I commend the reservation team for their proactive communication prior to my arrival. It made the planning process a breeze. Housekeeping Heroes: The housekeeping team was fantastic! They were incredibly responsive, helpful, and always maintained my apartment to the highest standard. Overall Impression:- Bab Al Qasr Residence is a gem in Abu Dhabi, providing high-quality accommodation and service. Addressing the minor improvements outlined above would make it a truly exceptional hotel. I would highly recommend this residence to fellow travelers seeking a luxurious and comfortable stay.

Areas for Improvement:- Limited Outlets: I found the scarcity of electrical outlets beside the desk inconvenient. Thankfully, housekeeping promptly provided an extension. Poor Mobile Reception: My DU cell signal was surprisingly weak, making voice calls a frustration. Navigational Challenges: I often got lost trying to find my way within the large complex, particularly between the residence and spa. A clearer in-room guide would be immensely helpful. Incomplete Room Phone Directory: Having to call the operator to get basic numbers for the bar, room service, or spa interrupted the seamless experience the residence otherwise provides.

The staff were outstanding. Professional manner and impeccable work ethic, yet unpretentious, approachable, warm and engaging. Had great tips and info about things to do and see in and around the outskirts of city. Room (deluxe suite) was beautiful, with incredible cityscape and sea views. It was surprisingly large and spotless. The separate bedroom was able to accommodate our five suitcases on extended several month trip and felt like a luxury apt rather than hotel. We have a restricted diet and are dedicated to our healthy lifestyle. We were able to cook basic but decent meals in the kitchenette during our entire three week stay and were supplied whatever we needed from housekeeping to do so, without hesitation. Hotel Food we can’t comment on much. We were comped the huge buffet breakfast, After an 7 a/m arrival from Dubai, while we waited for our room. It was incredible but expensive if you just want a basic breakfast. Was worth the one time indulgence though!!! Room service menu allows single meal orders and kitchen accommodated special dietary requirements on a couple of room service orders we made. Decent food but basic. Hotel is close to hypermarkets for quick grocery stops and there is a large Carrefour grocery store at Marina Mall, which was a 15 min walk or 5 min taxi ride away. We are avid gym goers. The gym is compact but very well laid out, equipped for well rounded maintenance routines during our entire stay. It was spotless and never busy. The hotel location is Perfect for nice long morning or evening walks along the corniche!! Lots of restaurants and coffee bars along the way.

Should have smart TVs in all suites. Smart TVs should also be compatible with Apple/IOS. That was a surprising and disappointing limitation for price point. Did not eat many meals there as they tend to be large buffet venues or fixed full menus unless room service is ordered. Food price point could be comparatively lowered. Could offer better meal packages for long term stays. We stayed three weeks but were under a month so didn’t qualify for a discount on meals or at the coffee bar.

A really nice surprise was there was a person at the reception Duty Manager Heythem  who spoke German ;) he was super helpful and very nice. The hotel staff are super helpful and nice. As our flight was at midnight after checking out, we were still able to use the facilities and enjoy the beach, as well as sightseeing and we were able to keep our languages free of charge. The hotel is located in a very nice area with an incredible view of the city and the gulf. There are cycle paths nearby as well as paths so you can go for a jog along the sea. About 200m away is a supermarket with a wide range of products and snacks. Breakfast was always delicious with a wide choice of dishes. The restaurant in the hotel also offers a variety of delicious food. Cakes were awesome!   The beach/pool area is very cosy and lying under the palm trees gives a great atmosphere. The gym is okay, the machines could be a bit newer and more adjustable, but it is perfectly fine to do the daily workout.

The room was nicely furnished with quality furniture and bedding etc. As it was an apartment we did not use the restaurant but we did use the in-room dining and the food was excellent and hot. The galley kitchen was small and well-equipped. The small private beach area and the pool were a bonus for us.

The TV kept freezing, very annoying. The one attempt to fix it only lasted 24hrs! The lighting in the kitchen was very poor, the lights were badly positioned making food preparation difficult. The oven hood is too far out so anyone over 5ft tall will constantly bump heads with it.

I recently stayed at the Bar Al Qasr Hotel and had a wonderful experience. I booked a 3-bedroom unit with a beautiful sea view, and it exceeded my expectations. The unit was clean, spacious, and well-maintained, providing a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. The hotel offers both valet parking and self-parking options, which is very convenient. The elevators from the self-parking area take you directly to your floor, making it easy to get in and out. Additionally, the hotel’s location is fantastic, being within walking distance of the Abu Dhabi Corniche. It’s a great spot for a leisurely stroll or enjoying the nearby attractions.

One area for improvement is the building’s windows, which could benefit from more frequent cleaning to fully enjoy the stunning sea view.

I booked a two bedroom residence. The rooms are spacious and well set. Over all the facility is a good to go. With regards to the breakfast its a good one. The experience was remarkable, with lots of variety dishes available. There was an ample choice for everyone, making it a delightful start to the day.

The bathroom amenities provided during my stay were quite disappointing. Despite the type of room booked, the amenities were way too less. There was no shaving set or dental kit, which was a significant oversight in terms of guest comfort.

We had a most wonderful stay at Bab Al Qasr. Every single staff went out of their way to make us feel as comfortable as possible. We felt very welcome and after couple days, whenever we went out and returned, it felt like returning home. We stayed in the Residency part as we wanted our own rooms. We had a 2 bedroom apartment which was 5* very spacious, clean and beds were comfortable. Our view was overlooking the sea, we loved waking up to our view every morning. We were bit confused about the hotel and residency parts but it actually is all part of one hotel so we could use the private beach, situated within hotel, pool, jacuzzi, steam room all for free. The beach had loungers, unlimited towels, lovely music playing in background and drinks/food service. Bliss. We dined in hotel couple of times, food was excellent, could not fault it. There also was a wonderful Mr Rosaria singing snd playing the piano to a lot of my favourite 80’s song - we were all up and dancing in one of the Bar Restaurants. We also experienced a dinner gala held in the outside area, we sat in the warm evening sun and had a very pleasant evening. I would like to mention Iftkhar - Ifti who was always attentive and couldn’t have done more for us. Also Michael - manager was very helpful right from initial booking as I emailed him directly and he replied so really helped with my anxiety of going to a strange/new country.

There was nothing I can say that I did not like about property.

Close to everything & bedside sea

We were picked up at the airport, and even before we got out of the car, Bab Al Qasar surprised us pleasantly. The location is central, opposite Emirates Palace and next door to Ethyad Towers. Inside the door, we are met by a stylish lobby and very nice people at the reception. The apartment was large, located on a corner, with a fabulous view. The beach is nice. The pool was warm. The mocktails and smoothies were good. The parking in the basement is nice, with a lift straight up to the apartment. The food we ordered from room service was good. When we asked for more hangers, towels, toilet paper, and help with printing tickets, everything worked as we wanted. Would definitely recommend this hotel!

We liked everything. Absolutely everything.
