Great hotel , amazing , issue with the noise from clubs from the marina
The personnel fast and helpful and caring for the company and the customer The room super clean
They have given us a room which was towards the Marina , where clubs had music till very late , Friday till 1:00am and Saturday till 3:00am. Since we had our child with us, we could not sleep. While the hotel offered to change room when we complained at 1:30am , at that time it was not possible. Since they have this problem , they should not had offered this room to a family !

Almost perfect. Nice breakfast.
There was no place to sit with my 18 years old son after some time. He should be above 21 even to enter in the only place which was open.

The location is great. The facilities are amazing
One of the staff, the very first one, once I arrived at the hotel, I do not think he was very professional, he is male. Two situations happened and I felt that he needed more training.

Amazing property and they gave me a free upgrade to a suite.
Took half an hour to sort out my check in as I had changed my dates. I had to pay extra 300 for a date change. They changed the booking to 1 person from 2 and then made me pay again 100 for the second breakfast. They blamed it on booking . Com. By then I was tired after the long journey and waiting at reception for 30 mins to check in. I just paid everything!

Great value for money
Pros - Location in Abu Dhabi, Room Size, Value for Money. The staff were friendly, if you are going to watch a show at the Ethihad Arena it is a 2 minute taxi journey.
Service was quite slow in comparison to other hotels we have been to.

Absolutely stunning place to stay. If you love cars, great service and wonderful facilities, this is the place for you!
Absolutely everything. There wasn’t anything we did not like!

The hotel itself is very nice, but significant improvements are needed in both the food quality and the performance of t
The room was spacious and impeccably clean, offering a fantastic view directly overlooking the race track. The car parking valets were exceptionally friendly and ensured prompt delivery of our vehicle. The rooftop pool was lovely and opened at 8 AM, though the bar didn't open until 10 AM, so be sure to bring some water with you if you plan to swim early.
Our experience with the food was disappointing. The breakfast was subpar, with undercooked omelets served on two consecutive mornings. When the waiter asked if we'd like something to drink, we requested a glass of orange juice, but were told that only water and coffee were served, and that we'd have to get anything else from the buffet ourselves. Dinner was equally unimpressive. The menu was limited, and the pizza we ordered was inedible—the crust was undercooked, and the ham was so dry it felt like chewing on plastic. Fortunately, we eventually found a satisfying meal at Yas Bay, where the food truly lived up to five-star standards.

Excellent hotel in great location
Great location, really clean, excellent facilities.
Room was right on the track so the motorcycling race was quite noisy but they warn you and offer earplugs.

Room was great. But I have expected more for the breakfast. In general, the hotel is good but got a feeling that it's a bit tired
Poor breakfast. Sunset pool looks cheap for that kind of the hotel.

Incredible hotel in simply a jaw dropping location!
This hotel is outstanding! I’ve travelled worldwide and this is one of the best I’ve stayed in. Amazing facilities, location on the F1 track is simply incredible! Room was luxurious with super comfortable beds. Food & service was amazing and staff were superb. The pool staff gave us complimentary drinks on our last afternoon which was a lovely touch. Nestor was a credit to this hotel. Bravo W hotel. Fantastic time with you and would highly recommend. Don’t hesitate to book this place! Thank you!

It was great overall. The staff, location, and cleanliness were perfect. However, the noise from the car race was a bit annoying, especially at night.

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).

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.
