During breakfast the hostess actually asked the kids to keep quiet as there were some business men around.We were shocked by the rude behavior and complained to the manager. He didn't do anything to clear... More

We stayed here for 7 nights in a Dinner, bed and breakfast package including flights from UK through Trailfinders. The meals MUST be taken in the Cuiscene restaurant- which is buffet- to be part of you package. if you eat elsewhere in the hotel you cannot transfer the credit. We didn't upgrade to the club/gold rooms and didn't eat lunch.... More

After flying for more than 20 hours it was so nice to finally arrive. The AUH airport isn't too far away I arrived quickly by taxi. The check in was fast and they gave me a room with a view of the new extra large mosque. The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Most attractions are about... More

Arrival at the hotel was the only disappointment - a single lady arriving on my own, I had no offer from the copious numbers of staff milling outside to help me with my bag or even a smile and gesture as to where the front entrance was.

My second visit to this excellent hotel and I was slightly apprehensive that it may not be as good as last time. However it lived up to all expectations and is my first choice in Abu Dhabi. We booked with BestAtTravel.co.uk and got a good deal. They seem to have offers on UAE and work out cheaper than anyone else.... More
