not really a great hotel for the cost but there's nowhere 'cheap' in Abu Dhabi anyway. But having said that, a really pleasant stay there at the beginning of October and again at the beginning of November. Rooms are simple but clean, tidy and functional, and all the staff that I dealt with (reception, doormen, restaurant and cleaning) were polite,... more

The only available hotel in the date i booked, i didnt spend too much for my room. I didnt get much as well. Basic rooms with old furniture (when i entered it i thought i was back to my 70's parents bathroom!). The worst thing was that i couldnt find a parking place for my car (there is a parking... more

We stayed here for 3 nights in March 2008. This is an old hotel, and looks well used. However, it gets 10/10 for clean and comfortable, which are our most important criteria. There seemed to be an issue with the hot water though - we could never get it hotter than lukewarm. All the staff we talked to were friendly... more

Very old and absolutely nasty hotel, very strange staff, no internet access and beach facilities. Rooms are horrible more

This hotel must have been modernised since some of the earlier reviews were written. My room was very clean and the furniture and fittings were modern and comfortable. Huge king size bed. Lovely choice of good food in "Windows" for breakfast. Staff were friendly and helpful. I have no complaints there. Taxis in Abu Dhabi are cheap and plentiful. The... more

I travel to Abu Dhabi frequently on business & pleasure. Would not recommend this hotels for tourists, especially not for women. The room is very sparce, more like a hostel. Staff are helpful, but really, compared to the quality of other hotels , which can be outstanding, this is a poor choice. Rotana themselves have several suitable ones locally. Pay... more

My mother and I stayed at the International for 24 nights so we could visit our grand children over Christmas and New Year. Bosco kept our suite clean and tidy the chef accomodated our need for mashed potatoes, Ahmed the waiter was faultless with mint teas and porridge at breakfast, Christina met us with a smile each morning and the... more

Travelled on business and client prebooked this hotel for us. The location of the hotel was ok and a short walk to good restaurants and other hotel bars, however the rooms were very basic and did not seem to have been updated since the 70's the bathroom was awful and the wooden toilet seat was rotten. Breakfast buffet was not... more

My husband and myself decided to do a 3 night stay in Abu Dhabi on route back from Thailand as we had stayed the year before in Dubai. This hotel is of a very poor standard, very run down and if you are unlucky enough to get a room overlooking the back you will get the worst view that i... more
