The place is ran down... The only good things are the amazing and helpful staff (they really try to make the stay as good as possible) and food.
Other than that the place is crying for renovation.
Beds are comfortable though.
Though the hotel was built in 1979 but still the hotel has charm to stay and enjoy this historical building. Room with balcony was great. Breakfast was excellent with lot of variety and options. Enjoyed the outdoor dining at breakfast and dinner.
Stayed here on many occasions, prior to COVID..Extensive upgrade and staff always friendly..Had lounge access, which always suits us,as go out for meals..
I loved this hotel. Seeing the pictures of Sheikh Zayed receiving other world leaders in this hotel gives you a sense of elegance. The rooms are clean, spacious, and has all needed amenities. The staff are nice and helpful. The breakfast buffet is rich and diverse and very delicious. I strongly recommend it.
Very clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Centrally located with a 4 or more dining options . The pool and the sandy beach were amazing. Definitely worth the money and will come back again .
The balcony room was a nice bonus.
The pool and beach area were a highlight, so relaxing. It's probably worth noting the pool has no shade from the sun. (The children's pool does)
We had club rooms, and the lounge has some room for improvement, the lounge is compact for the number of guests and the staff barely aknowledged us (apart from one nice young man - who's name I wish I'd noted).
They were however open great hours and everything tasted nice, although it wasn't replenished well or quickly.
I would stay here again. Hotel is in a great location with lots around it.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff was very kind and helpful. Really appreciate the service level. However, the hotel is very dated, tired, and smells terribly - smokey and musty. Linens are tired, shower has issues draining.
Brilliant receptionist provided us with an early check in and then a good room as well. Obviously not always possible.
Very good breakfast and service.
A good private beach, loungers, pool etc.
The only bad thing is the hotel looks run down from outside, a bit of paint and TLC required.

A bit run down but overall very good
A nice hotel at a decent location, a little bit run down but comfortable and friendly
We stayed a couple of nights here on full board basis. We arrive duting lunch time but no buffet!! They sent us to a pub they have on site and told us to ordet from the menu, went to the pub and we were refused(as we had 3 kids) and sent back to the reception. Then they sent us to the main restaurant and gave us a set menu to order from, the order took 1 HOUR 45MINS to arrive, we left most of the food as we were not hungry anymore. The dinner option was minimal. I understand the situation in the middle east is not ideal right now but why would would sell a product that you can't deliver??? The breakfast was much better and we actually enjoyed. The location of the hotel is really good, pool area was ok, nothing special. The rooms are very small and old but they were clean. Staff were polite but service wasn't good enough. This is a 3 stars hotel at best.
We stayed here before the refurbishment (pre COVID) and we were keen to see how the hotel might have changed. What was the same was the excellent friendly service and staff for whom nothing was too much trouble. Likewise the room was clean and well equipped. The pool area has changed a lot and we missed the old water cannon and the thermal aqua therapy spa, but the pool staff were extremely good, in particular Sandeep who helped us settle into our loungers ever morning. It's still a lovely place to stay in Abu Dhabi and offers exceptional value for the price.
