A new hotel opened 5 months ago, centrally located & easy to pickup the local inexpensive taxis to visit other parts of the city. From checking in on arrival through to the end of the stay, the hotel staff are very friendly, helpful & efficient.
Bedrooms are roomy, very well equipped & comfortable, although if you want to vary the temperature of the very efficient air conditioning, it takes a considerable time to come into effect.
The main restaurant is light & pleasant & the food is generally good. Don't look for a glass of wine with your meal though, as the hotel outlets are not serving any alcohol at this time.
The lobby area & separate coffee bar are a little on the small side & would seem crowded with more than a few people around.
It seems more of a business hotel, than a hotel you would choose if you were going with the family for a holiday to Abu Dhabi & unless the hotel has underground parking, don't think about arriving by/renting a car - you will find parking in the surrounding streets extremely difficult & frustrating.
Having said that, I would stay there again because of the comfortable bedroom & the hotel staff.
