Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers fantastic facilities and a great location, making it an enjoyable stay overall. The rooms could benefit from some slow reconstruction but are still fantastic with good facilities. The inside of the hotel is immaculate, providing a comfortable atmosphere.
The hotel offers fresh, clean, and comfortable rooms with a spectacular view overlooking the water and sunset, though lacking AC. The service was kind and helpful, ensuring an enjoyable stay for guests. It is located a bit further from downtown Abu Dhabi but provides an astounding view of the Sheikh Zayed Mosque and is near many attractions. The dining experience, particularly during breakfast, was unorganized and chaotic. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory.
Upon arriving at the hotel, I encountered a bit of a delay with the room not being ready for check-in right away. Once settled in, I found the room to be clean, quiet, and nicely decorated, with adequate amenities. However, considering what is provided, the room rate seemed a bit high.
The hotel offers clean rooms with a wired smell and excellent views of the Grand Mosque. The staff is very trustworthy, providing a spectacular view of the Grande Mosque and the sea. The service is amazing with cheerful and pro-active staff members. The location is perfect with some minor drawbacks, making it a recommended choice but perhaps not the first. The dining experience is a bit chaotic but understandable given the circumstances. Overall, a passable option with great potential.
