Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is decent if you're stopping over and need somewhere to lay your head for 1-2 nights, but definitely not the typical 4* hotel you'd expect to find in the UAE, the hotel is quite dated although there were renovations taking place. In a downtown area with lots of local shops but in the 'not so glamorous' side of Abu Dhabi. I did find the rooms very dusty which made me unwell and whilst it had been cleaned there were still areas of the room that were neglected and in need of an update i.e the phone didn't work and was absolutely filfthy as well as the plug adapter, the base of the windows were super dirty too and the bedding had signs of wear and tear. For these reasons I wouldn't give this a 4*. Breakfast area also not keep clean and tidy, felt like a fast food restaurant with food on the floor that was left and only tables cleaned. Also super cheap and uncomfortable sunbeds and daytime renovations happening at the pool. This was quite frustrating especially as a female, laying poolside with over 5 external contractors drilling and tiling the pool wasn't ideal, comfortable or relaxing (as it was very loud). I wouldn't return to this hotel and wish we'd book somewhere else.

Fantastic place I would recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Abu Dhabi. All staff here were fantastic, special thanks to Rose who looked after me in the SkyBlue bar she is lovely and Guru at the pool who is such a happy chap! I know the hotel doesn't want to be a 5 star but I've been to 5 star hotels in UAE and this tops most of them. The hotel has all the facilities you can want and everything such as food and drink is reasonably priced. You get value for your money here. The rooms are also very nice and spacious. I will be coming here again! Kev
