Although the property looks dated, our stay here was great. Stayed 2 nights - the room was large, clean and comfortable. Our windows looked into the building wall beside us but didn’t impact our positive impression. Breakfast was great, staff and service also great.
Ate dinner one night in the restaurant on the 18th floor - the meal was really tasty and outstanding, and service was too.
Only downfall we could find was the underground parking garage was a sauna and there were no signs to point you to where the lifts were! Please improve this!
Area around the hotel also good; walked to the promenade, restaurants and shops no problem.

Amazing little hotel with very friendly staff. Very close to the corniche and lots of shops and restaurants around. Madinat Zayed Mall is within walking distance ie 2 minutes away. Free parking was available. The breakfast buffet was very good also. I highly recommend this hotel and will be back .

Very nice hotel with perfect stuff
I had a really nice stay ! All the stuff was very very kind and helpful. I got a very nice upgrade to my room. Room was clean and spacious. Breakfast very good. I didn’t check out bars or restaurants in the hotel.
Hotel is perfect location to explore Abu Dhabi. You can walk to some of the attractions or take bus or taxi.
Bus stop and taxis are very close to hotel.
Thanks a lot for perfect stay !
