Al Rawdah Hotels, Abu Dhabi

"The hotel is very clean and the staff were excellent. My only issue is that the walls are very thin and you hear the neighbour's, especially if they are being loud. The air conditioning was also stuck on cold so when i arrived into the room it was 16DegC, despite the setpoint being 22DegC. I couldn't be bothered to go to reception to change rooms so i simply turned it off and the room gradually warmed up."

"The hotel staff was unfriendly, and the sheets and furniture were dirty. I requested new sheets, but they never arrived. I then went to the lobby and asked for a refund because the room was not clean. The staff put me in another room, which had mold all over the table and was also dirty. I felt uncomfortable there, so I checked out two hours into my stay. The property definitely needs an upgrade. "

"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."

"Confused staff, lack of coordination. No hot water in washroom "

"The room was clean and the view was lovely. The bathroom could do with a deep clean as there is signs of mould. Breakfast was not great and communication via WhatsApp not ideal. Saturday night another guest caused an hour of disruption with shouting, wailing and banging that the staff seemed unable to deal with. This was after midnight and woke everyone else up. Parking is free but not always close to there the boat is moored. "

"Breakfast is various and fresh, everyone is welcoming and helpful "

"I requested a small laundry order the day before check out. Despite having a same-day option, the laundry was not ready the morning of my check out, so I had to leave without the items. There didn’t seem to be any real urgency on the part of staff, who instead questioned what time of day I submitted the request etc - which was largely irrelevant at that moment in time, give I needed to leave to catch my plane. The hotel should not offer a same-day service if they are unable to honour it. This request was made in good time and if the hotel felt unable to accommodate this request within the day, they should have left it in my room - particularly given it was clear I was checking out the following morning. I have sent an email to request these items are posted to my UK home address, but have not yet had a response. Phone calls to reception just seem to go unanswered. Not recommended at all."

"Very disappointed with the hotel. Constant irritations one after another: waiting for check-in, then room access card not working, about to take shower only to realize there are zero towels available (had to go out and request towels from housekeeping), then getting feet wet due to leaking bidet hose, and cherry on top lights not working in the morning due to electrical power issues (due to storm). Better to check other newer or better maintained hotels. Plenty to choose from out there."

"Beautiful place, very happy! "
