Hotel Centro Yas Island, Abu Dhabi
Expert reviews
“A little less glossy than neighboring hotels, Centro’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.”

The hotel and staff are great. Operationally the is room for improvement.
Location. Clean. Nice staff. Breakfast and the restaurant management.
No direct beach access. Not enough staff during rush hour for checking in and out therefore long queue.

Fantastic, good value breakfast, comfortable room
Breakfast is amazing , ( especially if paid for at check in with discount ; good price ), staff are excellent
It’s a shame that the deli shop has gone and, more importantly the bar with bar snacks … that used to be great but now it’s necessary to go to the Yas Island Rotana for a bar which can be very noisy . The bar snacks at Centro used to be excellent

Relaxation guaranteed
Location near airport. Upgraded room overlooking pool. Excellent helpful friendly staff. Cyril at breakfast especially. Use of sister hotel facilities especially the pool and lovely cafe.
Pool area tired. Rotana pool much nicer but shady for much of day.

Would stay here again as the service and location were excellent.
Location was excellent, we stayed for the F1 race weekend and the hotel was an easy walk to the track. We had breakfast every day which was lovely. Plenty of choice but could have done with being a little hotter.
Lighting in the room was quite poor as was the size of the room. Little space for 2 people to manoeuvre in, but would be fine for single occupancy.

Expensive for formula 1 race weekend, breakfast ends too early

Upgrade from Centro to Rotana didn't seem welcoming by staff.
The food at choices restaurant, Rotana.
Some staff were not framing their questions well at Rotana, so sounded rude. The WC in the washroom was way too in the corner, not comfortable to use, and also smelly.

A value for money option on Yas Island
The location of the hotel is in Yas Plaza hotels which means it has plenty of options that are within walking distance when it comes to restaurants and bars. The property is within a five minute drive of major attractions like Yas Theme Parks, Yas Links (which was hosting the Abu Dhabi Open at the time of my stay), Yas Marina Circuit, Etihad Arena and Yas Bay. Bed was very comfortable and staff were friendly.
Room curtains were very dirty and need to be cleaned. Hotel seems to be undergoing a refurbishment so there is some noise when you come out of the elevator and you need to check-in to the adjacent property of Yas Rotana.

Great service, nice interior
The view I had on the Yas Island, the staff was very friendly and generous.
There is a specific smell in the rooms which could be a little more fresh.

We are satisfied with everything except the variety of breakfast. More emphasis should be placed on international dishes, as local dishes may not be enjoyed by everyone.

Nothing spectacular but done the job
It was a decent location in Yas Marina, room was clean
It was an expensive room for what it was. Iron was not working, some sockets were not working. Lots of refurbishment going on, breakfast was pretty average

I would highly reccomend Yas Island and the Rotana.
We were upgraded to the main Rotana which was amazing. The breakfast was excellent, but we had to queue for a table, which was disappointing.
The breakfast (when we got a seat) was excellent. The kids club and staff were great for our 7-year-old.

Has everything you need, a nice pool and easy laundry facilities which were great to use. I would recommend and stay her
Beautiful views and easy to walk to the beach/local shops, we swam in the pool a lot and it was wonderful. The staff were nice and helpful.
We had to pay extra to check in early even though our rooms were ready and I previously asked, it wasn’t cheap an extra $500AED, there was also a bit of construction going on and had to go over to the other hotel a lot.
