Fairly ok if you are a smoker
If you are a non-smoker this is not a hotel for you. The halls and rooms smell of smoke and the ventilation system makes sure that the smell is transported around.
The coffee at breakfast is good but the rest of the buffet could be better.

I was skeptical at first as some negative reviews said this is not a good place. It is not very new furnished hotel, however it is still great for the price you pay compared to others. The staff is really good and service quality for that price is perfect!

Overall a good stay but room for improvement
Spacious room, comfy bed, and excellent location. Bathroom could use a deep clean, but overall a good stay, especially for the price in downtown Abu Dhabi.

The hotel has a great potential to be 5 star hotel. Staff are amazing so is the location. The only area in my opinion that lets this hotel down is cleanness. House keeping staff are very friendly and accommodating but need proper training, supervision and realistic time to carry out their tasks efficiently.
