A quiet, nice, unpretentious hotel. Staff friendly
We arrived shortly after midnight. There was a bit of confusion about our reservation, but eventually we got a comfortable room. The receptionist recommended that we use his service to arrange for a cab early in the morning to take us back to the airport, but we already struck a deal with the cabbie who was taking us from the airport. Of course we should have relied on the hotel staff advice, because our cabbie stood us up in the morning. But the same receptionist was very helpful, he treated us with coffee for free, and called the local taxi service. We made it to the airport on time. Very good experience. Also, we thoroughly enjoyed watching "The Sin City. The Dame To Kill For" on cable TV in our room. It made us feel at home - all that violence and American slang on TV:) But the highlight of my personal experience was meeting a local stray cat in the parking. Overall, a great stay. I will certainly come back to the Emirates.

Basic family hotel
Family and budget hotel relatively central situated in a shabby area close to Madinat Zayed Shopping center. During night time around 3 AM there was a lot of noise on the corridor done by staff I suppose that woke me up but it stopped after I called reception and complained. Free WiFi.

Bad bad service with rude staff! Never again!!!
I booked a room for my daughter as she was in Abu Dhabi very late at night. From the start the reception staff were extremely rude and unwelcoming. My daughters passport is being processed for her visa so she did not have her original passport with her. She had a copy of her passport together with her Irish drivers license and ID but the staff were not prepared to accept this. They ended up chasing her away and confirmed that the booking had been cancelled and that she wouldn't be charged for the booking. BUT unfortunately we were charged and Hotels.com are not prepared to reverse the charges.

Central and clean
If you need a CLEAN CHEAP hotel downtown, this is your best choice. Officially, it's 1 star. Yes, it's old and some things, like bathroom for instance, really needs renovation. Yes, it's quite noisy as the windows donot close properly and there's constant mechanical background noise. I didn't need internet, i didn't need breakfast (there's a hypermarket just a stone throw away, and an empty fridge in the room). I was surprised to see hotel amenities (shaving kit, disposable sleepers, etc). One day somebody smoked heavily in the neighboring room that i could feel it in my room (there's a big gap between the room door and the floor - a way for the draught). Staff was ok, really didn't need to talk to them; allowed me to keep my bags till evening after checkout. Overall, if you don't expect anything, you'll like it.

Position is good and the price was OK too. Lady on check in reception tried to charge me again for taxes etc even tho I had this included in the expedia quote. This did not appear to be a "mistake'' but felt more like "lets see what we can get away with'' There was a cleanliness issue with the room, but this was resolved very well by the night manager. This hotel has a very much an arabic clientele reflected in the TV channel programing (only 3 english channels) and being situated next to a well voiced mosque (luckly I had very early starts).

YOU MUST PROVE YOU'RE MARRIED
Read the small print very carefully "Couples wishing to share a room must provide proof of marriage." Be aware that they are serious about this - apparently only one of two hotels in Abu Dhabi that are. This is an owners whim, and (according to staff) an average of five couples per day are caught out by this. Aside from that, the hotel was okay for the price, centrally located, friendly staff and a very kind and understanding manager who is sympathetic to us heathens, though unable to effect a u-turn in the owners' desire to force his own moral stance on his paying guests.

Ventilation Issue
I have stayed at this hotel in the past and it was okay, but this time I could smell cigarette smoke in my room. The smell comes through the vents. The person smoking must have been a chain smoker and an insomniac because the smell was constant until about 2 a.m. I couldn't smell it in the hall and I was very unhappy to have my clothes smelling like cigarette smoke. There is something off about the ventilation. This had not happened in the past.

Everything you need except hot water!
room was clean and had ameneties, but there was NO HOT WATER the first day! The second day there was hot water, but ran out very quickly. A shame that a hotel which had almost everything else cannot get this one basic necessity correct. Also hotel is very hard to locate, and the Indian staff are unable to give proper directions on how to reach it, so took long time to find.

nice breakfast and staff, but not a 3 star hotel
The staff are very helpful and friendly and the free breakfast buffet is very good. The pancakes and spring rolls were yummy and for an extra 10 dirhams you can order lattes and cappucinos. The room appears clean and has some nice modern decorating touches. But I did find one baby cockroach on the desk and in the bathroom on the floor pieces of one dead cockroach that looked like it had just been mopped over. The shower and bath tub were falling apart. The shower head had literally been pasted or caulked back onto the wall and there was a hole in the ceiling. The grout is very dirty. But the complimentary shampoo/body wash were nice. For the same price range, there are cleaner hotels in Abu Dhabi. They should update their bathrooms and spray for bugs if they want to maintain the 3 star rating and price.

AL JAZIRA --- DESERT JEWEL
The staff was very helpful, and very polite. Even the language barrier did not deter us from sharing common interests with them. The Hotel was always very clean as one would expect not only for the religious but also from the ordinary visitor aspect. Loved it and would have no second thoughts about going back.

Nice stopover hotel
The hotel is good for a shortstay of 1 or 2 nights to discover Abu Dhabi. It is close to the city centre, shhopping malls and the bus terminal. The breakfast is well and for dinner it´s possible to visit the restaurant in the ground. The personal is not so helpful planning your stay in Abu Dhabi, but friendly and they offer me a early check inn and a free luggage store possibility because my flight was late at night. The rooms in the first floor are a little loud because of the cafeteria.

Not a good stay, but nice staff
I dont recommend the hotel, if your there for a long stay. I was there 4 days, I really disliked the smell of the restroom, and the water doesnt get hot. The waste pressure in the room I was in, were terrible. At the end of my stay I saw small roaches going under the bed.. The staff was nice at the front desk, and the men who brings your luggage up to your room. I went to eat breakfast and the food, was not of good taste.

Great for the money
Among the more affordable hotels in Abu Dhabi, Al Jazeera really stands out. I lived in Abu Dhabi for three years and now am located in Dubai so on occasion stay in Abu Dhabi hotels. Many in this price range are dirty or prostitute hangouts. Al Jazeera is neither. It is in a good area - right behind the gold souq so easy walk to budget shopping, or to Elektra street and Hamdan street. The place is clean, rooms large, bathrooms huge and there are cheap eats all around it. For the price I doubt you'll do better in Abu Dhabi.

Good hotel on a tight budget, not a bad place at all
I had to book this hotel for my friend in a rush for a night stay. The external appearance of the hotel is not all that impressive and may not make you feel to proud to state that you stayed here. However I was quite impressed with the cleanliness of the room the interiors and a decent service. Deskstaff were not all that courteous, on phone they informed that check-in could be done at 11am, but when we reached there they informed not to enter before 12noon. Not a big problem. Paid parking is available around this hotel. However if you are there on a Friday, then parking is free. Place around the hotel is very busy, if you are not fussy about walking a few tens of metres, then finding shopping or eatouts would not be a problem. You could also check out the Madinat Zayed Shopping mall just adajecent to this hotel, which also has a decent food court if your expectations are not all that high.

도심에 있는 아부다비의 비교적 저렴한 호텔이나, 저렴한 만큼 서비스나 청결도 등은 그저 그런 수준이었음. 프로트는 친절했으나, 공항으로 가는 콜택시가 비쌌음. 1층에 있는 식당이 저렴하고 괜찮았음.
