What guests liked

All you need to know

The W Abu Dhabi on Yas Island is seriously one of those “only-in-your-dreams” hotel stays. It’s the only hotel in the world that sits on top of a grand-prix racetrack, so you could literally be looking out of your window and watch cars zoom by on the Yas Marina Circuit.

With 499 sleek rooms and suites, many featuring floor-to-ceiling windows giving either racetrack or marina views, it blends high-octane excitement with luxury vibes.

But it’s not just about the track. Inside, W Abu Dhabi feels like a whole playground: rooftop pools (roaring-engine view not included), a spa, gym, cocktail lounges, and several restaurants offering everything from steakhouse vibes at Brooklyn Chop House to chill Mediterranean-style dinners at Pappas Taverna.

It kind of nails that “chic & wild” contrast. You can go from watching race cars to sipping cocktails by the pool or lounging in a spa.

World class room with unbeatable breakfast.

Absolutely everything. The location, the room, the staff, the food! One of the best hotels I’ve stayed in, with over 20 years travelling the world.

The cot for my child could have been more modern / bigger.

This was my second stay here and I would definitely stay again. The facilities are great and so are the rooms. They are spacious and modern.

We wanted to have a drink before our dinner reservations but no where would let men in with shorts.

Thank you W hotel for making my visit to Abu Dhabi

Everything about the hotel was wonderful! Starting front office staff, who chose me a beautiful room overlooking the Marina and partially the F1 Yas circuit. I requested a quiet room and the staff at front office assisted me with that perfectly. The breakfast is more than amazing!!! A huge variety of food. The room is amazing, I liked the cleanness and how modern it is. The pool is fantastic though I preferred it Yas beach that hotel gives vouchers daily for free entrance. The front door valet staff was so clever, helpful and cheerful. I will be back for sure to W Hotel Yas Island ❤️

Nothing. Maybe the sound of practicing racing cars and motorcycles. Though, I enjoyed the experience

Wonderful stay at the W with a "Double Smile"

I loved watching the track, the cars on the F1 track, the lighting effects of the exterior elevation of the property, the wonderful "Talent " - very helpful and prompt.

The breakfast menu was the same everyday , less variety on the main courses, and cuisine. Further, a list of complimentary services may be made available at the start to plan their utilization.

Fabulous location, funky areas, phenomenal pool, fabulous breakfast - great hotel

I understand you are in the desert, but the glass on the walkway was extremely dirty on the outside. The water that had been used had only exacerbated the issue with the dust with significant water staining all down the windows.

The hotel is huge having several places where you can dine and various tastes as well. There is a shuttle bus to a very nice mall close by YAS Mall and an access to a close by beach as well, although i had no time to go. Families with kids, there is a very nice kids area at the hotel.

Nothing really.

Great location with great exceptional personnel

Great location right on the F1 track , exceptional personnel that was helpful and very polite, great facilities, very good breakfast with great variety. Very close to the parks and to the airport, there is a bus station for the free Yas Island busses right in front of the hotel.

The only thing that it can be improved is the balcony door that is a little hard to open , everything else was great.

Very pleasant stay, great location, friendly staff, wide range of buffets and exceptionally clean

Very Spacious, modern design room right above the F1 track which is a very different and pleasant experience. the location is very good, the staff is very nice and the breakfast buffet is very rich. Cleanliness is also exceptional. I also would like to highlight the kindness of the staff in the restaurants, especially the Pappas Taverna; super delicious food and very welcoming staff.

We had to wait for more than 1 hour for our luggage to be delivered to our room. Although I called 3 times nothing happened. This is very frustrating when you go there for a 1-night staycation with your family and excited kids waiting to enjoy to pool as soon as they can but waiting in the room.
