    A little short staffed in the restaurant. Beds were quite low.

    Quiet and good value. It was away from the busy part of AD.

    Breakfast was a maze, not enough variety, and I was not sure where to sit, as no one escorted or allocated a table so sometimes other tenants will take your table.

    The location of the hotel is outside of everything, and to get to each tourist area or business center (the major ones at least in Abu Dhabi), you need a taxi and 15 mins drive. The good thing is that taxi is by the right side of the hotel every day waiting for new passengers. Besides that, nothing much that I can complain about.

    Generous and heartwarming staff. Great breakfast and the workers in the restourant. Nice pool, clean, overall super nice place to stay at.

    Housekeeping services need improvement; reminders are frequently necessary. Engineering services are required: 1. The bathroom sink drain was blocked. 2. The shower switch malfunctioned.

    The guy in the Reception wasn't helpful at all and didn't understand that we are coming from along way drive and tired. There was problems in the payment so I asked him to give me they so my family can go to the room while we solve this issue he refused so my family had to wait in the car over 30 min until the problem was solved. Cleaning crew didn't take the trash out for two days.

    I would love to see more in-room dining options especially considering most other food items are available at the restaurants.

    I liked the location of the hotel. The room was clean and spacious, as well as comfortable. The Bathroom was very clean, the bathtub was well maintained and the shower had hot & cold water accessible easily. The buffet breakfast every day was absolutely lovely at the restaurant- very tasty and filling. I love the in-room dining options, especially the convenience of ordering it via the link. Great outdoors seating arrangements. A special shoutout to the staff especially Mohammed Asim who assisted at the checkin, Arjun and Ruth Mary at the restaurant who always greeted everyone courteously and I saw that they were engaging very well with other guests, asking us all on how comfortable we are. Special mention to the staff at the Italian restaurant, Mr. Mohammed and Ms. Rawya Jaber who were absolutely delightful in their service. Khalid at the Coffee shop deserves a pat for his attentiveness and service. Manju from the Housekeeping staff was very diligent and great in her work. Even the staff at the parking assistance were very helpful and courteous. Overall, a very positive experience made possible by great staff and lovely facilities.

    The carpets where not so clean, there were some food wastes, but overall it was passable. The pillows are very soft so the experience was not that encouraging for a revisit.

    The room was very good, spacious and include all the amenities. The Staff were friendly, especially Khaled from the reception i checked in within 3 minutes maximum and the house keeping staff are supper responsive regardless of the timing.
