Parking was an easy access and slots are available anytime i arrived. Reception was very accommodating, ready to serve and I requested late check out without any hesitation giving me 1 hour extra & thankful for that. room was excellent overall, hard to open toilet door but not really a discomfort. enjoyed dining breakfast, had a good coffee, good choices of food, plus service is very good. swimming pool is cold & renovation is on-going, my wife is not very comfortable to swim with workers looking around, but we found a sauna in same area and it didn’t dis-appoint us. Overall experience is 5-star, though we experience a little on the negative side, but their excellent staffs and hospitality experience still pulls my high rating

My husband and I stayed here for four nights travelling en route to Australia. Our room was sunny and spacious with a part view of the Persian Gulf. The bed was big and comfortable, and importantly, the pillows were also comfortable. A big SmartTV and a lounge chair in the living space area, and plenty of hanging space in the wardrobe. The rooftop pool was a great spot to just relax in. If you don't feel like eating out, there are several bars and restaurants to choose from. The location was handy to LuLu Center Supermarket and an easy walk to the Corniche and Abu Dhabi Beach. Everybody from Front Desk, waitstaff, and housekeeping were very friendly and attentive.
The Wi-Fi connection was very slow. There were no powerpoints in the bathroom area to plug in the hair-dryer or on my side of the bed. A couple of the other powerpoints in the room weren't working properly, either. The shower heads plumbing weren't great. The rain shower head couldn't be isolated from the hand-held shower head that the water came out on both shower heads.

Spacious room. A little bit dated, but clean and well taken care of. Breakfast offers all one could want, including fresh juices, milk shakes / smoothies, salads, eggs, rice, fish, sausages, a wide selection of breads and sweets. There were plenty of vegetarian options. 👍 I was positively surprised when I learned that we could use the sauna and pool (23rd floor) for free. 👍 The hotel also has a steak restaurant included. However, we choose to visit one of the dozens of restaurants within walking distance of a few minutes. Absolute Recommendation: Asian Plates (on the other side of Al Meena Street)
Room windows cannot be opened since the floors are quite high up. So we had to rely on the AC, which was sometimes smelly. And definitely too loud for the night, so we turned it off before going to bed.

Staff were great and helpful. Location is ok. If you want to go to some spots, take a taxi is good option. Most of them are not reachable by walk. Room is spacious. Toiletries are ok. WiFi is fine. Pool at rooftop is great. Go there earlier if you want to get a sun deck 😅 gym is also good. I arrived a little bit earlier but they offered me a quick and early check in, process was smooth👍🏽
I ordered an in-room dining buy food was not good and very salty 😢 Water go out of shower room while taking shower so I had to use another towel to stop and dried. I noted from reviews and it did happen. Need to fix it.

What a great hotel! WHY is this hotel not scoring off the charts?! It should easily be a 9+ on Booking. It's stylish. My room was massive and one of the very best beds I've ever slept in. The internet is great. The view is good. The breakfast was terrific. And the COST IS UNBEATABLE in its class in Abu Dhabi.
Negatives could include: - the pool was closed for emergency repairs until the end of May (these things happen in an 11 year old hotel) - the location is just 2 blocks off of the Corniche (great), but it is at the far end of the Corniche away from the mall and other activities. But honestly, if you like to walk early in the morning or at night or need a running path, you can't beat the hotel's proximity to what the Corniche has to offer. - the interior colors are a bit dark. I found it cool, but others might find it heavy. But other than that, the hotel is amazing.

The rooms were amazing: big, beautifully furnished, clean, full of light, equipped with all amenities. Breakfast is the best breakfast I have had in a lifetime. An exquisite assortment of delicacies of all kinds, ranging from savoury to sweet: from vegetable cruditées to cheese, from halal cold cuts to smoked fresh salmon and mackerel, from eggs to Swiss rösti, from delicious fruit yoghurts and smoothies and pressed strawberry juice to fresh chopped fruits, from sweets and pastries of all kinds to bread of all kinds. Gluten free and dairy free options are available, even dairy-free spreads. The staff are super helpful and kind and will book tickets for you. The hotel is close to the corniche and in a ten/fifteen minutes drive you arrive to Saadiyat island and its Cultural District or to the Corniche Beaches/Etihad Towers. Included in the room price you have access to the hotel underground parking and to the rooftop pool and sauna and steam.
Nothing.

The property and the team are simply fantastic. The hotel is exceptionally clean and well-maintained, offering incredible value for its price. It’s centrally located with a large swimming pool, and even though there are a few bars, the atmosphere remains quiet, peaceful, and very safe. This is my second visit, and it certainly won’t be my last. In this area, it’s the best value for money. I’m super happy with the staff, the place, and the peaceful atmosphere. I’d like to highlight a few staff members for their outstanding hospitality. Mr.Mohamed, the front office manager during check-in, and Kareem were very helpful and friendly. They gave us several room options and even allowed us to check in a bit early since the room was ready, which we appreciated. The concierge, Kushbir, was also attentive and kind. Though I forgot the name of our housekeeping attendant, he was very pleasant. The lifeguard on the rooftop was great too. Big thanks to Mr. Yazid, the manager on check-out, for allowing us a late check-out as I needed 2 hours more. Thank you to everyone for making this stay so wonderful!
