Marriott Hotel Downtown Abu Dhabi

Huge thanks to the Abu Dhabi Department of Culture and Tourism! During the Middle East conflict, after paying for my first night, they extended my stay for another 8 days free of charge. All I had to do was provide my earliest flight booking and cancellation notice. The breakfast, lunch, and dinner were all delicious, and the staff, including the lobby personnel, restaurant staff, and housekeeping, provided excellent service. Thanks again to this incredibly generous nation! 😁😁😁

The hotel room was spacious, and the twin beds at 1.4 meters were perfect for two adults and one child. It's right in the city center, and the mall directly across the street covers all your dining and shopping needs. For breakfast, they had Chinese noodles with soybean paste and some vegetables, though the variety wasn't extensive.

This hotel is popular with Chinese tour groups, so the breakfast menu conveniently includes Chinese options. The room decor is simple and stylish. Its location is fantastic, right between the Presidential Palace, the Louvre, and the Grand Mosque, making it easy to get around by taxi. Plus, there's a free YAS EXPRESS bus right outside the hotel that goes to all four Yas Island theme parks.

The hotel is very close to the bus station, which is convenient for traveling between Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The breakfast spread is also excellent. There's a small, clear, and clean swimming pool on the rooftop.

The breakfast having Lao Gan Ma (a famous chili sauce) and ramen noodles was definitely a major draw.

The hotel is quite large, but the entrance is surprisingly small. The rooms are a bit dated but relatively spacious. There's a shopping mall diagonally across the street with a supermarket in the basement, which is very convenient for shopping. The hotel breakfast has Chinese labels and a noodle bar, and their rolled pancake is quite good.
