Top Abu Dhabi Hotel Reviews

Rosewood Abu Dhabi

10/10 Excellent

"Outstanding stay — highly recommended! We had an excellent experience at this hotel. Everything was very well organized and maintained to a high standard. What stood out most was the special attention given to babies and infant needs — they made sure we had all the baby supplies and amenities we required, which made our stay so much more comfortable with a little one. The staff were exceptional: friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. The cleanliness and tidiness throughout the hotel were impeccable, and the breakfast was delicious with great variety. Overall, a wonderful and comfortable stay. We would happily return and highly recommend this hotel to families and travelers alike!"

Radisson Blu Hotel & Resort, Abu Dhabi Corniche

Breakfast was a free for all, only one coffee machine,they don't split families and couples, buffet dinner was a better affair. Good location and friendly staff."

Le Méridien Abu Dhabi Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Bar staff was amazing… they even made me special gluten free food not on the menu… they are all super friendly. And the pool and beach are beautiful and a huge plus!"

Al Diar Mina

8/10 Good

"This hotel stay was just what we needed because we had a layover and we needed a place to rest for half a day. It’s a solid decent hotel for this type of requirement. The rooms should have a deep cleaning because we noticed some dirt behind cabinets when we were looking for one of our children’s toys."
