Service is great, the staffs are really warm and helpful.

It's the parking issues in the hotel and the crowded lift.

clean, good value for money.

There are 5 clubs in the hotel. Too much noise in the streets until 5am in the morning and my room was on the 7th floor. Screaming women and raucous banter. don’t think the windows are double glazed. Was impossible to sleep. that was a major disappointment. I cannot recommend this hotel because of the noise factor, even though room was good. Alternately, if you must, ask for a room facing the back of the hotel.

Big strong points: all hotel staff - very hospitable and attentive with guests ; location - A2 bus can be used to go to/arrive from Abu Dhabi Airport under 4 aed / pers / trip by purchasing a Hafilat public transport card ; this card can be recharged and used through all Abu Dhabi public transport (one bus trip will cost 2 or 2.5 aed ; tickets cannot be purchased from the driver and card must be validated when going in and going out from the bus) ; moreover, at any time, no matter how late, you can find something to eat/buy nearby hotel, area being very safe ; big room with kettle and with everything needed for a good stay (free tea, coffee, bottled water, toiletries, sewing kit, safe-deposit box), bathroom with bathtub ; clean room and good breakfast. All in all, I would stay again with pleasure!

Despite the fact that the room was clean and no trash was deposited during my stay, I found two cockroaches in my room, in one of the evenings.

The hotel is the best one. If you are planning to go to United Arab Emirates, then go to Abu Dhabi and in this case to Howard Johnson Hotel. It is the best choice ❤️I can’t say that it has minuses , because it has only pluses ❤️❤️❤️ So i will numerate a few of them… 1. Room service - everything is clean and they do the service on a high level 2. Staff is very friendly-special thanks to Mr. Rudra (manager of the hotel) he helps each customer and solves any kind of question. Thanks very much. 3. Each day they give you self care lotions , shampoos and everything you need 4. The hotel is in the city centre -there are lots of shops and there is a mall near it - its near to Abu Dhabi Mall also - you can go by taxi 5-10 minutes and The Cornish beach is 20 minutes by walk and you can go to public beach its free. From Abu Dhabi Aeroport A2 bus takes you to hotel and takes back, and there is no need to pay for taxi. There are lots of supermarkets near the hotel just 1-2 minute , it’s a big plus. Even if you plan to go to dubai but the hotels are expensive and you can’t afford, you can stay in this beautiful and convenient hotel and go to dubai by bus and come back again because this hotel thinks about customers and gives good prices and high quality. I am from Armenia and I have been to lots of hotels but this one is really amazing, to stay in the city centre and to be near to everything is a big plus and its very nice and you get lots of good emotions. Thanks very much to hotel staff again ❤️❤️❤️

Everything is on a high level. Only pluses 👌

We stayed here in March and for that period the price was really great. The location is perfect, about 20 minutes walking to get to the beach and 25 minutes to the seaport with plenty of seafood restaurant (we enjoyed Al Shader). Beautiful Formal park is nearby with fountains and even barbecue facilities. Supermarket VIVA is just an opposite to hotel. Couple of alcohol shops are about next street away (Spinneys and Richmond) without any limitation to buy (like in Dubai with passport only). Bus stop to get to main site seen (Louvre, Grand mosque) is on the next street. Abu Dhabi Mall and World Trade Centre are in walking distance too (20 minutes). Staff was very friendly, bathrobe and slippers were provided by request. We also asked for more soft pillows and electric adapter and got it shortly. During early check out they kindly help us to order taxi (city taxi is about 70-80 AED to get to airport).

Furniture needs be refreshed.

The stop of the hourly airport bus (A2) is just a few steps from the hotel entrance, but taxis are constantly available at the hotel and on the street. The staff is kind, friendly, helpful. You can have breakfast on the first floor, there is an Indian restaurant on the second floor and a rather noisy bar on the top floor. The size, equipment and cleanliness of the room and bathroom, as well as the bed, are impeccable. WiFi works great. In the room, there was tea, coffee and a fresh, big bottle of drinking water waiting outside the door every day. The staff at the breakfast restaurant were also extremely nice and friendly, as were the receptionists.

The breakfast selection is not 5 star, but neither is the hotel.

Breakfast was very good, hotel staff were amazingly helpful - they offered information on how to dress at the Mosque, helped with the taxi, were very very nice. The beds were super comfy and the room was large. There was a nice bar with live music right next to the hotel and a great shawarma place nearby so when we got in late, we had a lovely night.

The door and furniture were a bit oldschool, as well as the elevator, but nothing that would prevent me from staying there again, as the hotel had a tonne of other pluses and the kindness of the staff was truly amazing.

The position of the hotel is great if you are travelling from and to the airport, the bus station A2 is next to the hotel. The room that we got was big with a nice smart TV, but it happened to me to receive also a room with old furniture. Depending on your luck.

There is a pub on the ground floor and a club on the 2nd floor. Even though we stayed on the 9th floor the noise was very loud. That's the biggest issue.

I got an upgrade for free. The staff is very friendly and works really fast. They brought a lot of water, tea, coffee. Which is great, water is crucial in such a hot place as Abu Dhabi. Keep it up like this. The room was spacious and clean. The bed is confortable. And Wi-Fi was working superb

Some of amentities are old. The carpet wasn't attached to the floor in one place revealing nails
