The service was friendly and accommodating, with professional staff and various convenient amenities like room service and laundry. The location is excellent, central, and close to shops and public transport, making it easy to explore the city. The dining experience was varied, with some finding it basic while others appreciated the daily meals served. Overall, a good value for money option with a mix of positives and negatives to consider.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were huge, which was a good point, but they smelled of smoke and were very average. The service was quick in tidying my room and my siblings', though the night staff seemed more interested in drama than hospitality. They were friendly but need more customer care training. The location was pretty good with a variety of food options around, but there were moments of unprofessional gossip that were off-putting. The dining experience was pretty good and standard, but not the best way to start a long day.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were nice enough and spacious, but the poor lighting and WiFi issues made it hard to work comfortably. On the bright side, the service was very accommodating, especially thanks to the ladies at the reception. The location was pretty good with a variety of dining options nearby, but paid parking was a downside.

I had a great stay at the hotel! The rooms were quite spacious, safe, and secure, making everything excellent. The comfort level was top-notch. The service was professional and really helped me relax, from reception to housekeeping. The location was good, allowing me to observe downtown life and easily access the Abu Dhabi corniche. The dining experience was decent, though with limited options. The facilities were fantastic, and I particularly loved the amenities provided.

The hotel is at the city center, providing easy access to Abu Dhabi corniche and offering a good view. The rooms are a good size, and the service is excellent from reception to housekeeping. However, the night staff can be a bit dramatic sometimes. The dining experience is pretty good with a decent variety, but there are limited options. The location is convenient for observing downtown life, though the beach is just a distant away, and the hotel is close to the bus station.
