Absolutely loved our stay here! This hotel is amazing especially if your an F1 fan like we are! Great location and will definitely be returning. All the staff were really happy and friendly and the kids zone pool was perfect to cool off for my daughter.

A vibrant and luxurious escape at W Abu Dhabi, where bold design meets exceptional service in every detail.
I was impressed by the exceptional service level and the meticulous attention to detail throughout my stay. Although I initially encountered a minor issue accessing my room, the situation was handled promptly and professionally, which ultimately added to the overall positive experience. The staff were courteous, the design was stunning, and the atmosphere truly captured the spirit of luxury and hospitality.

A pleasant break in a great city
Stayed for four days at this hotel, in an ideal place for the parks we were visiting and the malls. Staff were very receptive & helpful on reception and the hotel itself is very clean. Rooms are large & beautiful with great showers & toilets and enough room for clothes storage. We took the breakfast package which there was enough food to last all day. The fantastic pool is divided on the roof into an adult & child’s pool of which both are lovely but on the flight path so can be very noisy. I hired a car & on arrival there is valet parking, downside for us was the damage to the car whilst it was parked which I had to pay the hire company for the damage ☹️

Generally lives up to the expected high standards
Generally met the usual high standards expected of a stay at the hotel. Facilities, cleanliness, quality of food - all exceptionally high and to be applauded. Somewhat disappointed with the inconvenience of key cards randomly not working and having to go back to the Lobby and waiting for it to be sorted, nor with the rudeness of some other guests (which whilst not entirely the hotel's fault, when Security and staff are stood watching other guests jumping queues or male guests standing uncomfortably close to female guests whilst they are sat down, they should intervene).

The perfect place to see nice cars on a track and listen "vroom-vroom" from the balcony and other perfect view points. Easy access to track and boxes of Yas Marina Circuit. The hotel and rooms are superior. Staff is the top! Waiting for my next arrival!

Apart from place, which is amazing and we expected that, the staff and all the premises were amazing. Really great stay.
Just a little improvement could be on the front of breakfast service, staff sometimes seemed a little unorganized.

Iconic location and beautiful hotel
Incredible room with a great location on the Yas Marina Circuit. The pool and bar were fantastic on the roof of the hotel. The staff are fantastic, always willing to go the extra mile. Loads of breakfast choices, one of the best breakfasts I've had whilst in Abu Dhabi.
The room sound insulation wasn't the best but wasn't awful, we could hear a crying baby next door relatively clearly

I would not stay anywhere else in Abu Dhabi.
The hotel is modern and beautiful inside and out. The room was large with a glass wall and balcony. It was spotlessly clean with a huge king bed. The bathroom is also large with a tub and a separate shower and WC. It is located right on the Formula 1 racecourse. I loved hearing the F1 cars practicing. It is a short, cheap, taxi ride from the airport. The hotel provides free vouchers for the Yas Beach resort. We enjoyed swimming in the Indian Ocean, a first for us. The pool was good too, but we preferred the beach.
The free beach shuttle was not available for the time we wanted to go. However, the taxi ride was cheap, less than $5.

Book well beforehand to get it for a decent price
This is our third time in this hotel, this is very conveniently located in the center of Yas Island, has amazing view on the race track. The rooms are spacious too. I like Davines cosmetics too.
Compared to the previous years, the price of the breakfast became ridiculously high. Last year my son was offered free breakfast (he is hardly eating anything but croissant), this year I had to pay 50% for him, so our breakfast was 150 AED each day! No additional selection of food appeared, so I do not understand why price was increased that much. Breakfasts are until 10.30 with no flexibility, there is always huge queue at 10am and you can hardly get a table and grab any food.

NEW EXPERIENCE
A different experience when your hotel is literally on a Formula 1 track. From the window you can see the cars, the interior and the restaurants are at very high level. It is close to the Ferrari entertainment center, to the mall, etc. I expected more from the beach, the pool is not big, the beach does not match the hotel. A perfect place for a family vacation, but don't forget the constant loud noise from the cars and sometimes from the airplanes
THE BEACH AREA. FOR THIS LEVEL TO PAY FOR TOWELS IS NOT A GOOD OPTION. SOMETIMES THE NOISE FROM THE CARS AFTER MIDNIGHT,,

Great stay! Awesome 🤩 will come again.
Everything is great with this property except its prices get crazy for F1.
The limited protein breakfast menu probably because of religious reasons. There is no real bacon 🥓 but there is also no mince which is beef. The breakfast menu does not cater to the various types of people who visit.

Exceptional stay. Perfect service at breakfasts by Garage Team. Thank you.
Beautiful and unique property. You feel special.
It was 18 in the room. Not heating in AC. But the HK brought the heaters. But this is the problem in Abu-Dhabi and Dubai, cold inside.

Couldn’t really find a fault, really nice place to stay
I made the hotel aware 3 months before travel that the check in time I would be arriving which was confirmed to be fine, once arrived I was told I’m 5 hours before check in time and would need to pay additional 3000aed to check in now or sit in the lobby until the check in time opens.

Beautiful stay.
Nice and clean room, beautiful view to the race track and harbour, good breakfast and a very good restaurant for dinner (The Garage), nice club in the hotel with good music to dance in the evening. It has also a spa area and swimming pool. In the morning, during the breakfast there was a GP race, very interesting to see and hear...
The swiming pool closes at 8.00 pm, too early to have a chance to use it if you visit the theme parks. Should be open at least until 10.00 pm, like in other high class hotels. I paid around 300 EUR/ night for the room with breakfast included, with reservation through Booking many months in advance, which for this location/standard is acceptable. When I arrived there the price for the same room has increased to more than 600 EUR/night, which I wouldn't have paid. Even though, it was overcrowded with families with kids, due to a holiday in India.

Unique experience
The staff are very friendly. The service is excellent and personalised. The hotel location is close to everything you need. The food is delicious, and the breakfast buffet is awesome with many varieties. The room is spacious with modern outfits. All in all, I'm very pleased with my experience I had and I would recommend this hotel to anyone going to Yas Island.
The hotel is made of 2 buildings over a bridge, which is not so convenient to go back and forth to your room whenever you need to pick up something quickly or to go to the restaurant and the lobby where both are located in the main building.
