Very nice
Great place with very helpful staff. Clean and comfortable rooms and also quiet. Location is very nice because you are very close from all the buses to airport or main attractions and the free shuttle bus to many places comes right in front of the hotel.

The bathroom doesn’t have any hair dryer. Staff were nice. Bar was okay. Room condition was pretty bad. Bathroom in bad condition. For a couple it was only one towel. No toothbrush and toothpaste. Pool was super dirty and not cleaned.

Customer service is good. They don’t have own parking. You use public parking, which is little uncomfortable. Breakfast buffet is fair. I rate 3 star hotel.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The basic room was small but ok for 2 people. It was clean, the bathroom was dated but otherwise ok as well. There can be noise at times from neighbouring rooms when the people were loud but it was not bad. Bring ear plugs if your a light sleeper. The bed was a bit hard and the aircon and fan worked but not really the thermostat. It was just a matter of turning on and off the aircon if you needed it. The included breakfast its good value. Its a plentiful buffet catering for the breakfast tastes of many nationalities. The reception staff were friendly and helpful.

I have stayed at this property many times. One of the main reasons is the food. They have a great French restaurant (Le Beaujolais), which can also be ordered in their first floor bar. Overall a good hotel for the price. The location is good for access to shopping and the WTC Mall.

Avoid staying here..
Avoid staying here...the WiFi never worked in my Laptop, it worked once in a while in my phone. There was no parking i was expecting a parking with the difficult situation in Abudhabi, they asked me to park in paid parking outside. There was some maintenance going on and it was very noisy when i complained they stopped it..if possible find another hotel...
