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.

Our stay at W Abu Dhabi – Yas Island was absolutely a 10/10. We stayed in Room 2427, which had an amazing view of the race track—we even got to watch a live race practice right from our room, which made the experience truly unforgettable. We loved everything about the hotel, from the stunning façade to the stylish lobby and our beautifully designed room. The overall atmosphere was vibrant yet comfortable, and every detail felt well thought out. Breakfast was excellent, offering a wide variety of dishes to suit different tastes. The shuttle service was extremely convenient, running every 15 minutes to Ferrari World, Yas Mall, Warner Bros. World, and SeaWorld, making it easy to get around Yas Island without any hassle. Everything about the stay was seamless and enjoyable. We absolutely loved the place and would gladly return.

There was nothing we didn’t like about our stay—even the staff were exceptional. Overall, the experience was 100% outstanding.

Perfect location for Abu Dhabi activities

Very good breakfast and many options. Good staff. Good and big rooms, with water refill every day. Perfect location for Abu Dhabi activities.

Reserved room through Booking.com. Some miscommunication between hotel and service provider, which resulted in double charge from my car and I’m waiting for refund 2 weeks already.

Excellent stay

Service excellent, location unbeatable. Rooms were cleaned to a really high standard.

I think the pools could be improved, the sun goes quite quickly due to the design of the roof. A pool at ground level looking over the race track that would get the sun for longer would be a great addition. Breakfast can be chaotic, best to go early

It was a unique place to stay considering you have a F1 track with cars in it and the other side of the room had a piece

Location was great and the view was spectacular.

The room was cold and the heat did not work well and the outside temperature was 14 deg C. The A/C worked well.

Slept like a baby!

Best hotel bed I’ve ever stayed in! I was spending 1 day in Abu Dhabi for relaxation from busy work life and honestly W hotel had everything on site which meant I didn’t need to leave! The show stopper was the beds. Mattresses were so comfy and all bedding just felt like you sleeping in a cloud. I would go again but with family next time

Getting site map would be good as hotel is very big but is manageable.

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

My stay at the hotel was very comfortable and convenient. The room was spacious, clean, and well-maintained, which made for a very relaxing experience. The staff was friendly, attentive, and always willing to assist with any requests. The amenities and services provided exceeded my expectations, and I truly appreciated the overall hospitality. I would definitely recommend the hotel to others and look forward to staying here again in the future.

The room felt a bit lacking in comfort as there was no carpet, which made the floor feel quite cold

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.
