Top Abu Dhabi Hotel Reviews

Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, Abu Dhabi

10/10 Excellent

"Gold is everywhere in this property, definitely the most expensive hotel interior in the whole world. The hotel opened over 20 years, but very good maintenance, friendly staff."

Conrad Abu Dhabi Etihad Towers

10/10 Excellent

"Really enjoyed my stay at the Conrad Abu Dhabi. The rooms were enormous, very comfortable and just had that feeling of having plenty of space to properly relax. I have to give a special mention to the pillows ,absolutely loved them! My head just sank right in and I slept incredibly well. Breakfast was easily 150%. The variety was impressive and genuinely covered different cultures and tastes, so there was always something new with plenty of flavour. I definitely ate much more than I normally would… whether that’s a good or bad thing, I’ll leave that open! 😄 The Observation Deck was the icing on the cake. Being 70+ floors up and getting a 360° view across Abu Dhabi was quite something, I could see as far as my eyes, and the binoculars, would allow. Overall, a great stay and I’d definitely use the Conrad again on my next trip to Abu Dhabi, unless I decide to try somewhere else purely for comparison! Uzo"

Novotel Abu Dhabi Gate

8/10 Good

"The property’s amenities are excellent but the standout was the staff ; the front desk staff were outstandingly helpful, especially because I was unwell and made my stay comfortable."

Sheraton Abu Dhabi Hotel & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel is a little older though the refit is completed allowing competition to the newer hotel possibilities. excellent selection of food throughout. we loved the pool. Lovely stay"

Radisson Blu Hotel & Resort, Abu Dhabi Corniche

8/10 Good

"Clean modern room and bathroom. Air conditioning is very loud however and minimal daylight entering rooms. Check in and check out was fast. 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."
