We decided to take a short trip out this Dec with kids to Abu Dhabi. After looking around, Staybridge Suites as Yas Island seemed to work out best in terms of value.

I had never stayed with Staybridge before but my experience has been great. Location, staff, suites offer great value for money.

If you can get the package deal, with Yas Park Pass included, essentially you are staying for free. It's not luxurious as other places, but very friendly.

I would highly recommend it for families with young children.

Two thumbs up for me.

Stayed for 5 nights for the Abu Dhabi GP weekend.
Staff were pleasant and competent. The room was big and had a washer\dryer but no dishwasher.
This was odd as there were free washers and separate dryers in the lower ground.
There was washing up liquid and wash powder supplied. The bed was made every day by staff and the shampoo etc was replenished once during the 5 day stay. Not sure if this should have been daily.
The daily free breakfast was very good, with a huge range of food to suit most tastes.
The Sun-Wed evening dinner was good too and there was ample food throughout that time so there was no need to eat out.
Location for the F1 track was ideal with a 5 minute walk to the nearest Grandstand.
The pool and terrace were good with the sun hitting this area around 2PM.
There was a small gym in the LG basement.
The local private beach was accessible by a 10 minute walk or a free shuttle (1 per hour approx).
This is well maintained and has two pools a bar and eateries. Opens at 10:00. Your entry gets you towels and access to a lounger and parasol. Ask at reception for the free voucher otherwise it’s 50 or 100 Dirhams pp.
The pantry at reception had basic foodstuffs but there is a Hypermarket at the Yas Mall which can be reached by the free shuttle.
Free (one way ) shuttle to the Mosque needs to be booked from the Crowne Plaza next door. Turns out it was their hotel car.
Used points for the stay as the rate was extortionate due to GP, good value for 25K points per night.
Overall a very pleasant stay and we would return for subsequent GP’s in future.

I have stayed in this suites for two weeks when I was on Business visit. Fantastic location, facing Yas Marina F1 circuit on Yas Island. Great view from the Balcony. Suites are excellent.Just near to Yas Beach (Private Beach) where the hotel guests will get complimentary entry passes. The suites are very clean & well maintained and staff are very courteous giving feel like you are at home. My suite has Washing Machine and Cooking range. It has swimming pool, Gym, Laundry area where multiple washing machines are stacked. Overall it was a fantastic experience and looking forward for staying back again during my next trip.
