Excellent hotel in the heart of the city
Great hotel, in an excellent location for exploring the city. Both bars in the hotel were amazing, reasonably priced and very tasty drinks. Pool area on the roof was well kept and had plenty of sun beds.

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!
