Southern Sun, Abu Dhabi

Spacious room, great breakfast and sports bar.

Paid for executive room but the views are really bad, the roof of the building next door.

All

Nothing

Nice Staff. Beutiful Design. Nearby petrol station with mousqe. Free Valet service.

I wouldn't recommend for family because of the set up of the bathroom since it's all glass.

Superb location as base for work, Cultural District and walking the Corniche. Very spacious rooms, excellent breakfasts and such friendly staff.

I mistakenly book a room which is smoking , at the desk I was told that there were no longer non smoking rooms . I was about to cancel the reservation however a gentleman at the reception stepped in a resolve the matter very promptly. Thank you for that

Parfait

Not enough people at the pool party

Very nice hotel. Spacious, modern, comfortable. Well located, near to the beach, Corniche. Wonderful staff in M1 resto and M3 resto. M3 resto delicious, I loved really my dinner. Great pool. Overall, I loved that hotel and I would come back again. So meet you guys in December!

Nothing special to mention as mainly the hotel is perfect.

Service

All is good

The shower head was a bit dodgy, should be replaced! But the rain shower worked well. The rubber edge of the shower door doesn’t block the water from spilling outside the shower cubicle.

At the accommodation, we really liked the luxurious room – it was very nice and always thoroughly cleaned (especially by Phurpa Sherpa, who pleasantly surprised us by folding the towels into swans). The bed was large and comfortable, there was both a shower and a bathtub, it felt like a very safe place, and we also appreciated the big TV. We also enjoyed the pool a lot. The lifeguards were wonderful (especially Guru and the Bell Boy). We even took a photo with Guru and will always remember him fondly. The reception was very pleasant as well – Alice and Kal always arranged everything we needed and were helpful throughout our stay. Another highlight was the varied and delicious breakfast.

The only minor drawback was the leaking shower enclosure, but it was easily managed by placing a towel in front of it.

Rooms, sauna and pool were great as was overall Hotel.

The breakfast was terrible. Food wss cold and.dry - had been left out far too long. For $100 dirhams is excessive for a great breakfast but felt truly ripped off given the poor quality

Friendly staff and the cleanness was good

The parking garage is not well maintained and scrap materials are stored there. The room design is not good enough as the toilet and bathroom are all open to the room.

Good location, clean rooms, huge variety for breakfast

Hairdryer of poor quality

I loved the valet service and overall service to my every need. Exceptional comfort in bedding.

Everything was great. Just no free breakfast offered.

Spacious room, great breakfast and bar, excellent rooftop pool, very professional staff. This is a 5 star place for the price of 3 stars.

The staff

The hotel was great value for money

Only minor things, such as general wear and tear in the room. But nothing major.

Very good

No recognition for repeat customers.

Location, cleanliness and size of room

I stayed for 4 nights, i required to change towels atleast once a day .They didnt change my linens and towels as requested. There is a feel of old hotel from the dirty corridor carpets and dark hallway it was dull walking to the room it didnt smell pleasant. The room felt dark and lighting wasn't good. The carpet there too was old and dirty I wonder if they ever clean them. They need to renovate and make it more brighter and modern with a welcoming feel. AC was not cooling enough i had to put temp to 15 degrees I could smell stench from other rooms through the AC.

I stayed at Southern Sun Abu Dhabi for a short getaway (1 night, 2 days) and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. The hotel is spotless, and the room design was excellent with both a shower and bathtub for extra comfort. The staff were very professional and friendly. In fact, after I checked out, I realized I had forgotten an item in my room. The room service team contacted me, and two days later I was able to pick it up safely — I truly appreciate their honesty and follow-up. Breakfast and dining were fantastic, and I also enjoyed the rooftop pool and sauna — both were amazing. The location is perfect, right in the heart of Abu Dhabi and very close to the Corniche. I would like to sincerely thank everyone at the hotel, starting from the security team to the reception and room service staff. Their efforts made my stay memorable. Highly recommended!

The only thing I would have preferred is a better view, as the room overlooks the city and not the sea.

Comfortable, good staff, great breakfast

Actually nothing

Breakfast & staff

Not all rooms with good view

Room space and cleanliness

Wifi , room food menu prices

Reasonably priced and close to attractions like Louvre and Abrahamic Family House. Comfortable beds and friendly staff.

From the lobby to the rooms, the hotel exuded a stylish, contemporary vibe that made my stay feel luxurious. The receptionist her name is Kai was very helpful actually, all the staff were friendly and accommodating.

The only downside was that the hallway leading to the rooms was a bit warm.”

The staff

Everything was excellent. The room was very comfortable, spacious, and everything was very clean. The pool area is a lovely place to relax. The bar has live music and is a great place to spend time. The breakfast was very varied and offered good options for a balanced breakfast.

N/A

I liked everything about the place, from the hotel’s location to the cleanliness and quietness of the hotel and the staff’s treatment.

I loved the executive room. It was very neat with a nice ambience. The bathroom and toilet facilities were clean. The dining experience was superb. It's good value for the money.

The hallway seemed like it hadn't been vacuumed for a few days and it had a stale smell. No air-conditioning or freshener scent in the hallway. It will be great if the hallway smells and feels like the way it does at the reception area.

Staff where very friendly and helpful. Rooms are well equipped and clean. Great selection of eateries and bars on site

I like the atmosphere.

Cleanliness of the room was not up to the standard. Stained duvet covers, outdated towels, WC around the seat was dirty, hair of previous guest is bath tub and shower area, found nail in dustbin from previous guest, full of dust everywhere

As always, the staff make you feel like the most important guest in attendance. This hotel is one of the best values for money in AD, with beds to dream away in. 10/10, highly recommend.

Location and cleanliness-outstanding
