Expert reviews
“A little less glossy than neighboring hotels, this hotel’s neat-as-a-pin, compact rooms offer Yas Island’s most budget-conscious choice. As long as you’re not expecting trendsetting chic styling in your room (it’s all very business-neutrals here) it’s a good-value choice.”

Comfortable and welcoming place to be in
I loved the entire stay . Special appreciation to Mr Hammad at the reception greeted us well and made our stay very comfortable by providing all services possible. Rooms were nice and clean in a good location
I would suggest to manage the sliding glass door of washroom for a proper privacy as there is a gap despite sliding lock Also morning breakfast time there was a rush , so felt a need to finish the food faster as we could see people standing beside us waiting for seats. So we couldn’t enjoy the cuisines properly May be more seats can be allocated. These are few suggestions. But our stay was good

We have enjoyed our stay and breakfast was good
All of the staffs are very hospitable and approachable
That we have to call and request for toothbrush. Also body lotion should be available along with the other toiletries

Great facilities , location and service , definitely recommend and will return
Modern , great facilities , breakfast , dinner , and room service all utilised and excellent . Room facilities of a height standard , comfy beds , great shower .
Understandably due to the location and the racetrack preparing for the F1, polite notes left in the room explaining there would be additional noise between 8 am and 6 pm , however there was drilling noises all night .

Great Stay
The complete experience was beautiful, this starts from the staff, Mr. Nauman at the reception Desk to Ms. Snow and the entire team was so polite friendly and i wish the team all success. The food and Team at the breakfast venue was so hospitable as well as the rooms were excellent
More water in rooms is the only recommendation i Have , that is also to inform they have bottles but that is for te sake of a comment not a remark

We had a great 2 night stay at Yas Plaza Circuit. The location was excellent as it was near all the popular spots at Yas Island. The staff were some of the most helpful staff I’ve ever come across in all the hotels I have stayed it. We will definitely be back next year if the cost is still the same as it was value for money.

Pool was nice with a bar, spacious area for sun beds, breakfast was also pretty decent.
Unfortunately, children were jumping and splashing at the bar and were also standing on the bar stools jumping into the pool, which shouldn't be allowed, there is a dedicated kids pool, and kids shouldn't be at the bar if they are under 21.....

Very good
I liked the location — all the main attractions were nearby, and my room had a view of the Etihad Arena. The staff was very pleasant and polite, the rooms were clean, with daily housekeeping.
On the downside, there was renovation work on the upper floors during my stay, which I only found out about upon check-in. The staff assured me the noise wouldn’t be too disruptive, but I was still woken up every morning by the sound of a drill. However, since I was out of the room most of the day, it didn’t cause me much inconvenience.

Good for a short stay
Good location, good size ,nice clean rooms staff were excellent👍🏻
Big negative was tye window didn’t have a sound proofing so you could hear airplanes all day and in night if your a light sleep that could be a problem .

Great value for money with friendly and very helpful staff
As our hotel was being upgraded and was closed, we were put in the Rotana which was excellent. From arriving and being welcomed by the valet, assisting with our luggage and checking in, all was very smooth. All staff were very polite and eager to help with taxi to the venue and anything else we required. At checkout, I really liked that they checked we had all our luggage, passports, wallets and documents as a final check. Will def be staying here again.
Nothing, it was great

Clean and proper. Convenient location. Very friendly staff.
Ongoing super noisy repairs. Drilling and banging sounds on both days we stayed during the day specially in morning hours when you’re still in bed.
