Top Abu Dhabi Hotel Reviews

Conrad Abu Dhabi Etihad Towers

10/10 Excellent

"The building is absolutely stunning. The restaurants for a high level experience. The staff, Gloria at welcoming door is absolutely kind. Ana at reception with the manager, very efficient and kind. The lobby has amazing views and the coffee gorgeous. This was a family travel, and we did stay more nights. thank you"

Radisson Blu Hotel & Resort, Abu Dhabi Corniche

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, great service. I had to checked out at 12 but had to be at the airport at 10pm, I was able to use their Beach Club the whole day, they had very clean showers with all you need to get ready after a relaxing day and get to the airport after. I'm staying here again when I'm back."

Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, Abu Dhabi

10/10 Excellent

"Although the property has gigantic proportions that make it at times unnavigable and makes it feel impersonal this is definitely an Arabian Nights palace with impeccable service and pool areas among the most beautiful in the world - with a private beach! It’s a bit far from everything else but with a unique beach front view to the newest and even more spectacular Sultan palace. I have also checked the Four Seasons which pales in comparison with this"
