5-Star Hotels in Abu Dhabi

The Shangri-La brand is truly trustworthy. Its Arabian castle-style architecture is impressive, and it's located right across from the beautiful Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. The front desk service was excellent. My only regret is that I overslept and missed breakfast!

The hotel offers good value for money if you’re looking for an affordable 5-star stay, but it didn’t quite deliver the level of service and experience I expected from a luxury property. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, although fairly basic in terms of design and amenities. One of the highlights was the nice view of Qasr Al Watan and the nearby Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental. The gym was well-equipped, while the pool and beach areas were decent but not particularly memorable. Service could be improved, especially around staffing. The towel booth often seemed understaffed, and in general the hotel appeared to be operating with limited personnel, which affected the overall experience. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it to travelers seeking a true luxury resort experience. However, if your priority is finding a reasonably priced 5-star hotel with clean rooms, good facilities, and attractive views, it could still be a suitable option.

I personally think it's excellent! The parking is free, and they'll let you in if you show your booking. The room has a sea view, which is especially beautiful at sunset. The soundproofing is great; you can barely hear anything. The bedding is new and clean, with no strange smells, and the room is also very spacious. As for the downsides, the breakfast isn't very good, with only a few options suitable for a 'Guangdong palate'. Also, the toilet sometimes doesn't flush, and you have to wait for the tank to refill.

Really spacious room, lots of closet space, and huge bathroom. Amenities wise, it was really upsetting that the adult-only pool was too full so we got rejected and had to use the family pool. And next to the family pool, there was a really loud construction happening so it wasn't a relaxing time by the pool.

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's biggest advantage is its location right on the Yas Marina Circuit. However, our room was on the second floor, and the large balcony obstructed the view of the track. If you want a good view of the circuit from your room, it's best to request a room on the third floor or higher. Check-in was very quick. During the Chinese New Year, there were many Chinese guests, and we even received special chocolate gifts. There are also many Indian guests at the hotel, and the breakfast offers a dedicated Indian section. Of course, there's Chinese food too, though not a huge variety. They had spring rolls, stir-fried rice noodles with Laoganma chili crisp and pickled mustard, and steamed fish which was decent. The pan-fried dumplings were the most popular; a fresh plate would be half-gone by the time I looked away. You can order eggs made to your liking; I had Eggs Benedict two days in a row. Breakfast gets very crowded, but you get a great view of a large section of the racetrack, which is fantastic. The shuttle service to the theme parks is very convenient and available at all times. However, to get to the actual racetrack, you'll need a taxi, which was reasonably priced at 12 dirhams.

The room cleaning frequency isn't quite up to Dubai hotel standards. At mealtime, my friend joined us. Our room included two meals, while my friend's room only included breakfast. We wanted the free meals to be served as free, and the paid meals to be paid for normally. However, the Asian hostess who seated us showed an impatient expression before we even spoke, and immediately assumed we had exceeded the guest limit. That felt a bit offensive. However, the hotel's pool, food, and kids' club (the staff even joined in the exercises!) were all pretty good. The toilet in our room had a completely enclosed wooden door, which made the kids scared to use it alone, so an adult had to go with them every time. We didn't take their shuttle bus to the theme park because it showed a 30-minute wait and another 30 minutes to get there. We just took a taxi instead, which wasn't too far, about 15 minutes by taxi. The taxi fare was a bit expensive, but the kids couldn't wait any longer. The chocolate at this hotel is amazing!

Honestly, If there was a score of 1 Million, I will definitely do, such incredible people !! Hospitality is all about people, ofc, it is a great place, great pool, beach, etc etc etc But I wanna highlight the people here, we stayed there for our anniversary, and this was the best decision, they truly care and truly show the definition of M.O.

My experience at the Radisson Blu hotel, unfortunately, wasn't what I expected. I was anticipating a much better standard from a hotel bearing the Radisson Blu name, but from the moment I walked in, I felt the hotel was old and in clear need of renovation, both in terms of decor, furniture, and room details. What I disliked most was how cramped the rooms were; they didn't provide the sense of comfort or luxury I'd anticipated, especially considering the price and the hotel's brand. The furniture and design also seemed dated, and the overall atmosphere wasn't comfortable for me. I travel and stay in many hotels, and I understand that each hotel offers a different standard and experience. However, for me, this experience wasn't successful, and I didn't feel the hotel reflected the level I'd come to expect from Radisson Blu. I hope the management pays more attention to renovating the rooms, updating the furniture and decor, and improving the comfort level and spaciousness, as the location and name deserve a much better experience. Unfortunately, based on my personal experience, I didn't like the hotel and didn't feel comfortable in the rooms. I don't think I'll repeat my stay in its current state.
