Top Abu Dhabi Hotel Reviews

Radisson Blu Hotel & Resort, Abu Dhabi Corniche

10/10 Excellent

"Access to West Bay resort area is a major plus. Rooms are convenient yet some of them have small windows and narrow view. Friendly and professional staff. Congrats for that!"

Le Royal Meridien Abu Dhabi

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at the reception were helpful and understanding"

Southern Sun Abu Dhabi

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, beautiful hotel. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The pool staff guru and samatika were friendly and always helpful. I would definitely recommend."

Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, Abu Dhabi

8/10 Good

"We had a wonderful stay at Emirates Palace in a beautiful sea-view room with Club Lounge access. The property is truly grand and spectacular, with so much to do without ever needing to leave — from camel rides to a variety of activities throughout the resort. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, but the Club Lounge team was truly exceptional. Everyone was so accommodating and went above and beyond to make our stay special, including helping us arrange dinner reservations and organizing thoughtful anniversary treats in our room. A special thank you to Rohit, who was phenomenal with our 1.5-year-old son. He went out of his way to prepare special purées for him and would always ask if there was anything he could make for him. That personal attention meant so much to us and was one of the highlights of our stay. The breakfast was truly incredible — one of the best hotel breakfasts we have experienced, with an amazing selection. The Kids' Palace was a little underwhelming compared with the rest of the property, and the enormous size of the palace can sometimes take away from the personal feel of the experience. Overall, Emirates Palace is an incredible and unforgettable property. The grandeur, setting, activities, amazing breakfast, and especially the exceptional Club Lounge staff made our stay very special."

Conrad Abu Dhabi Etihad Towers

10/10 Excellent

"A1 quality everything. Beautiful room. Everything is squeaky clean. Best breakfast out of the 3 hotels I stayed during my trip. The staff were amazing. Beach and pool were fantastic. I loved every minute I was there for."
