I love this hotel. I like the service and the location but the price for one night was over 400 dirhams which is too expensive for me. I booked it without thinking it through and have decided unfortunately that I won’t stay here again if the price remains constant.

The hotel is clean and has helpful staff for the most part. Breakfast was varied and delicious, especially the fresh juices. Some items were not fresh however. The bed sheets were very rough and in desperate need of replacing.

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
