    friendly staff

    Recommend it for solo travelers

    Staff was super friendly, always quick to help! ! I felt right at home when I was there, like family, especially with the reception girls, one of them even had a gold tooth, I wish I remembered her name!

    Prices weren't cheap, but you get what you pay for, I guess.

    varied breakfast
    dark room
    maintenance issues

    The breakfast buffet offered a good variety.

    During my stay, the room was uncomfortably dark. Despite asking for more light, the service simply stated it was by design. Additionally, I faced noise disturbances from neighboring rooms that made it hard to relax. The bathroom had some maintenance issues that were not addressed, leaving me frustrated with the overall experience.

    outdoor pool
    sun terrace
    unreliable wi-fi

    Had an amazing time with friends! We enjoyed the outdoor pool and the sun terrace, which were perfect for relaxing after exploring the city. The staff were super helpful and friendly, making sure our stay was comfortable. Don’t miss the breakfast. it’s a great start to your day. Highly recommend this spot for a fun group vacation.

    One downside was the Wi-Fi connection. it wasn’t very reliable during our stay, which made it hard to stay connected.

    diry towels
    empty mini bar

    absolutley appalled by this 4-star hotel! only one towel for two people, really? and a mini bar that was empty, seriously? I expected a comp upgrade due to their many shortcomings, but of course, that woudl ve been too much to ask. prettty room, but not worth the hassle. I just couldn’t give a good review.

    clean rooms
    great pool

    Loved the clean, tidy rooms and the great pool! I felt really at home here, especially enjoying my evenings by the terrace bar.

    Felt like it was our own home, no reason to complain.

    outdoor swimming pool
    spa services

    will certainly stay here again

    Room was spacious with air conditioning, a desk, and a flat-screen TV. Loved the outdoor swimming pool and spa services like massages and facials. Great dining area with a kettle and a big wardrobe too. Clean and comfy with a good view from the window. Wi-Fi worked well and staff cared about my comfort.

    comfortable mattress
    decent gym
    helpful staff
    dark room
    slow internet

    The Standard Room was decent, the mattress comfortable enough, but it felt a bit dark. Internet was frustratingly slow, definitely not ideal for those needing it for studying or streaming. The pool area isn't great either, and there were pigeons hanging around the place, which felt odd.

    fun bar
    tasty breakfast
    relaxing pool
    old furniture

    The swimming pool and spa were perfect for unwinding after a long day. One minor hiccup was the outdated furniture in my room, but it didn't ruin my stay at all! 😊

    Just a reliable pick for a quick layover in Abu Dhabi with decent value for money. The breakfast was amazing with a huge variety, making mornings more enjoyable. Request a room away from noisy areas for better sleep.
