Unfortunately this hotel, like a number of others in the UAE, tends to charge high prices for very low service. We pulled up to valet the car (the construction in AD means there is never a carpark to be seen - not the hotels fault) and there was noone there - 10 minutes later I hauled all my luggage into... more

Just completed a 4 night stay at this hotel and I was very impressed. As an SPG member, I was upgraded to a spacious suite in the Royal Tower and it is one of the loveliest rooms I have stayed in anywhere. Check-in was smooth, there are several nice restaurants in the hotel and a spacious pool area. I recommend... more

I have stayed here several times on business – not more than 2-3 days in a row. The rooms in this hotel are fairly spacious and comfortable, the service is very good, the sea view of the Corniche is stunning, the pool and lobby area are very good, indeed. The only shortcoming I can find with this hotel is the... more

I have recently returned from a business trip to Abu Dhabi staying in this excellent hotel. The hotel is located within walking distance of the Corniche - if you can stand the heat that is. Reception is spacious with courteous staff and checking-in was very smooth. Our room overlooked the pool area with an ocean view. The room itself was... more

THAT is the only reason.... Rooms are old fashioned and often with broken installations, sometimes smelly. Especially in the old tower (Business Tower). Try to... more

The hotel itself is beautiful and my room was huge. I was on the 16th floor and had the most stunning view of Lulu island! Comfy king bed, clean room, and I loved that they left complimentary fresh fruit in my room every day! I booked through Expedia, with an original stay of 10 days at a decent rate but... more

We spent 2 nights in the hotel and were upgraded to a suite as we're Starwood members. Bad points As soon as we entered our room, I found pieces of broken glass on the carpet, so the carpet hadn't been cleaned before we arrived. The bathroom in the suite was very old and extremely cramped. Our bedroom didn't get cleaned... more

Stayed here for a quick overnight with my mother and it was very lovely. Fantastic views, starwood plush beds, clean and professional. We really enjoyed nestling into the soft cushions at the terrace bar overlooking the pool. Didn't try the restaurants, but it seems they are all very popular ones in the city. Got a bit slammed on phone charges... more
