The lighting reflecting from the Grid Shell can be seen from miles away ensuring that the hotel iconic status is guaranteed. The visible atmospheric-like veil from the Grid Shell can be seen from any direction from miles away.
At night, the light reflecting from the hotel is unique and dramatic which shows a range of beautiful color smoothly across the double curved surface of the hotel.

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.

Very good
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.

Great hotel that looks the part for exploring Yas Island
Lovely hotel in great location. Staff very helpful throughout and facilities amazing. Pool was great although staff very slow at service on wet deck.
Food and drink was poor in my opinion. Had better breakfast and dinner outside of hotel. Breakfast very poor for choice options. Beer in wet deck had to be sent back on numerous occasions as was either bad or flat.

Exceptional location. My entire family was overjoyed.
Staff were super attentive to our needs. Three chefs got my wife her favourite dishes for breakfast even though they were off menu. Everybody was there to take care of our kids needs. We never had to wait for anything. The bell captain, the concierge, the housekeeping staff, the room service, the reception team were all exceptional. The venue is fantastic, views are great and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The food is exceptional - better than most high end restaurants around Yas Marina.
Nothing. Everything was top notch. It was a bit of a walk to our room in the second tower but it can’t be helped if you want the beautiful views of the marina and the track

Beautiful and lively.
I loved everything about this place. The beautiful design, the cleanliness, the service. I’m a formula one fan and wanted to try this place to get the vibe. It’s worth noting that it’s really vibrant and lively so if you are looking for somewhere to relax and unwind this is not the best option. Definitely a place for celebration, hang out with friends and family, enjoy good food, pool and music.

Always a fantastic stay!
Usual great service by staff and a fantastic location.
The seemingly older Tower 1 which we were placed in this time for the first time does feel much more dated than Tower 2 and is disappointing by comparison.
