Top Abu Dhabi Hotel Reviews

Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, Abu Dhabi

Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, Abu Dhabi

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely luxurious and fantastic hotel. The expanse of both the inside and outside of the property is beyond impressive and the attention to detail and a dedication to beauty and luxury is overwhelming. You truly feel like you've stepped into a palace from the moment you walk in. We were celebrating our anniversary and were treated to a bed decorated with elegantly arranged red roses and the most delicious chocolate cake. The breakfast buffet was expansive and decadent and the staff enhanced the experience with their kindness and warmth. Despite the fact that it was over 100 degrees outside, we still braved the heat and enjoyed the swimming pool, the refreshing lazy river and a visit to the camels on the beach. I truly hated to leave this lovely hotel and will definitely be returning in the near future."

10/10 Excellent
"It is breathtaking driving up to the grand hotel entrance on one side and the Grand Mosque on the other. Swimming in the beautiful pool or the Persian Gulf were so neat, even in the 111 degree heat. The hotel entrance and room was gorgeous. We didn’t want a big dinner so we ate in the coffee shop and it was delicious. The staff couldn’t be more helpful!"

10/10 Excellent
"Great experience and ambiance at the hotel. My only negative experience was at checkin, there was someone in front of me and another man walked up and was helped right when the guy was helping someone else and I was waiting instead of asking him to wait his turn. As I was exhausted from an all day international flight this was not the time to let someone slip the line; you don’t know where others are coming from and dealing with. Best to always have customers wait their turn."

8/10 Good
"This hotel stay was just what we needed because we had a layover and we needed a place to rest for half a day. It’s a solid decent hotel for this type of requirement. The rooms should have a deep cleaning because we noticed some dirt behind cabinets when we were looking for one of our children’s toys."
