Fantastic place I would recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Abu Dhabi. All staff here were fantastic, special thanks to Rose who looked after me in the SkyBlue bar she is lovely and Guru at the pool who is such a happy chap! I know the hotel doesn't want to be a 5 star but I've been to 5 star hotels in UAE and this tops most of them. The hotel has all the facilities you can want and everything such as food and drink is reasonably priced. You get value for your money here. The rooms are also very nice and spacious. I will be coming here again! Kev

Verified traveller

Liked: Staff & service
The staff was generally friendly and accommodating. We had opted for breakfast, which was also very nice and appealing. The only thing we would have preferred differently was if the entire hotel was non-smoking. Although we had a non-smoking room, the hallways were still heavily affected by the smell of smoke from nearby rooms
