"The club lounge female staff is very friendly and heartwarming. She provided me such a big plate of sandwiches and sweets.
On the other hand, the staff for breakfast in Ginger should be more motivated and considerate.
Location is a big disadvantage. If you want to go to the mosque by taxi, you have to pay 20AED even though it is so near coz of detour.
The cleaning is quite thorough, which is a big plus."
"Lovely central location. Viva and Carrefour supermarket just a few minutes walk if you need some snacks. Burger king opposite.
The rooms are very clean and spacious. Check-in took less than 5min. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Breakfast is good but can be very good with some minor changes.
Many places to eat. I had their coffee and lava cake...mmmmmmm yummy.
Room service menu a bit limited and very basic. Nothing extra.lovely pool area with a South African managed restaurant on the rooftop.
I enjoyed my stay. See you soon Millennium"
"Facilities: The hotel is a small villa complex with no elevator, but it does have a swimming pool, gym, shopping mall, and restaurant.
Cleanliness: The cleanliness was quite good; the room was cleaned daily.
Environment: The environment was very pleasant.
Service: The service was also excellent.
Breakfast was delicious!!!"
"Spent at this hotel 4 days, everything at this hotel is worth every penny. Good sized rooms, specious bathroom, clean all over, customer service is excellent, reception is very helpful and friendly, the cafe and restaurant area is excellent, the foods and beverages are also excellent. The pool is great and looks like fun but we didn't get the chance to use it due to the heat.
The gym is ok, it can be a bit improved considering it's a 5 stars hotel, but it's more than enough for your average workout.
Everything at this hotel is excellent.
The only bad experience we had it was nothing to do with the hotel but our next door neighbour for only one night they were on the balcony at 2 am and talking loudly and laughing loudly too. I had to call the reception to get them quite and into a normal civilised hbehaviour. It's just luck, you get low class people in a high class place which it proves that you can't buy class.
Would I book here again? Absolutely, in fact I'll book again at this hotel in a couple of months."
"The Shangri-La brand is truly trustworthy. Its Arabian castle-style architecture is impressive, and it's located right across from the beautiful Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. The front desk service was excellent. My only regret is that I overslept and missed breakfast!"
"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Stay at Traders Hotel Abu Dhabi!
I had a wonderful experience at Traders Hotel Abu Dhabi. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome and well taken care of. Every team member I interacted with was attentive, friendly, and genuinely committed to providing great service.
A special mention goes to the chef and the culinary team—every meal was delicious, and their attention to detail really stood out. They were always willing to accommodate requests and made the dining experience even more enjoyable.
The overall atmosphere of the hotel is warm and comfortable, making it perfect for a relaxing stay. I truly appreciated the hospitality and professionalism throughout my visit.
I highly recommend Traders Hotel Abu Dhabi and look forward to staying here again!☺️"
"This stay exceeded my expectations; it truly lives up to its reputation as a highly-rated hotel in the area! Check-in was extremely efficient, and the staff were warm and attentive, proactively offering information on nearby attractions and restaurant recommendations. The room was spacious and bright, with a simple yet elegant decor. The bedding was soft and comfortable, and the bathroom amenities were complete and of high quality. The view from the window was also fantastic. The hotel breakfast offered a wide variety of choices, catering to multiple international tastes, and was fresh and delicious. My stay was completely smooth and enjoyable, with meticulous and thoughtful service. It offered excellent value for money, and I will definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in the area. Highly recommended!"
"The stay was decent considering the price, but I believe there are better options available in the same range. The rooms were noticeably small, especially if you are traveling with multiple bags or planning a longer stay. One thing that was disappointing was the lack of luggage assistance service, which would have been helpful during check-in and check-out.
On the positive side, the location is convenient, with plenty of markets, cafes, and restaurants nearby, making it easy to find food and basic necessities. The pool area was good and well-maintained, but it was quite crowded because of the holiday season, so it was difficult to fully relax and enjoy the facilities.
Another downside was that basic toiletries like toothbrushes and toothpaste were not provided in the room. When we requested them, the staff informed us that they were available only at an extra charge, which was unexpected for a hotel stay. Overall, the experience was average not bad, but there is definitely room for improvement in terms of service and room comfort."
"I loved everything from the valet guys to the check in at the reception, the concierge, room service and Al Rimai restaurant. Special thanks to Paolo at the concierge and Nokwazi at the restaurant. The other staff too were excellent.
The best part of the trip for us as a family was the food. We had all 3 buffet (breakfast, lunch & dinner) and the variety of food plus their richness/taste was exceptional.
For those who can, try the cold plunge and steam room, really enjoyed them.
In all, our stay at Erth hotel Abu Dhabi was a blast and we will definitely return."
"*Review: Average Stay with Major Service Gaps*
The hotel itself is decent—clean rooms and functional amenities—but nothing that stands out. What’s shocking is the price swing: rates jump up to *460% higher* during peak season, making it feel overpriced for what you get.
Customer service is a weak point. I sent a request via email and never received a response—not even a courtesy acknowledgment. That lack of communication leaves a poor impression.
On the plus side, the location is convenient. It’s near a grocery store, coffee shop, and convenience store, so daily needs are easy to meet. Taxis are also readily available, making transport hassle-free.
*Verdict:*
Good location and basic comfort, but inconsistent pricing and poor responsiveness make it hard to recommend for repeat stays.
Rating: *3/5*"

Amazing
GGuest UserThe hotel offers good value for money if you’re looking for an affordable 5-star stay, but it didn’t quite deliver the level of service and experience I expected from a luxury property.
The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, although fairly basic in terms of design and amenities. One of the highlights was the nice view of Qasr Al Watan and the nearby Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental. The gym was well-equipped, while the pool and beach areas were decent but not particularly memorable.
Service could be improved, especially around staffing. The towel booth often seemed understaffed, and in general the hotel appeared to be operating with limited personnel, which affected the overall experience.
I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it to travelers seeking a true luxury resort experience. However, if your priority is finding a reasonably priced 5-star hotel with clean rooms, good facilities, and attractive views, it could still be a suitable option.
CChun Myung KimReally spacious room, lots of closet space, and huge bathroom. Amenities wise, it was really upsetting that the adult-only pool was too full so we got rejected and had to use the family pool. And next to the family pool, there was a really loud construction happening so it wasn't a relaxing time by the pool.
GGuest UserI requested a late check-out for my late flight the next day. They happily accommodated my request, which was a great help. I hadn't eaten Japanese food in a long time, so I went to the sushi restaurant they recommended, and it was delicious – I polished it all off! 😍
MMohamed Seyed MafazWasn’t very happy with my toilet . Shower wasn’t working well . Parking facilities are very poor and service to bring the vehicle to reception was very very delay . Shortage of staff.
But location is good , rooms were decent and pool was goods
GGuest UserWe thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Sheraton Khalidiya branch. The hotel was comfortable, clean, and conveniently located. We especially loved the excellent service and the delicious breakfast, which offered a great variety of options.
The staff were very accommodating, friendly, and always willing to assist, making our stay even more pleasant.
The only minor suggestion for improvement would be to provide slippers and dental kits in the rooms. We hope these amenities can be included in the future for added convenience. Other than that, everything was wonderful, and we had a great experience.
Thank you to the entire team for your warm hospitality. We would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to others. 😊
GGuest UserThe room was great, and the price was very reasonable. The bathroom was also good. The location is decent, with a Chinese supermarket and a small Chinese restaurant not too far away. The front desk staff were incredibly welcoming and even upgraded me to a suite for free. It was a really pleasant experience overall.
GGuest UserThe hotel has a great location with plenty of dining options nearby and a supermarket. It's also a convenient 10-15 minute drive to the main attractions. They offer complimentary valet parking, which is a big plus. The rooms are spacious, and the beds are huge. My only minor complaint is that they don't provide slippers or toiletries.
FFarapatz25Great stay as always. Have stayed at this hotel a few times previously and does not disappoint. Clean, tidy rooms, great location in the centre of town and friendly staff. Great place to stay as a base in Abu Dhabi.
GGuest UserThe hotel is clean but it is like a condo or flat type of hotel…but it is nice anyway. The food is so yummy with a lot of choices. For the location, it is about 15-20 minutes walk from Al Wahda Mall & so, it’s a bit far. Better to ride a taxi if you have a luggage because it is very hot outside esp. during the mid day. It is near anyway, in all the tourist spots of the city. At night as well, you can hear the music from the bar and also the sound of cars passing by outside.
The staff were so friendly, helpful & accommodating. For the service, I find it excellent. We had a pleasant stay in this hotel.
GGuest UserWe booked this hotel knowing we wouldn't spend a lot of time in it and it would be a place to sleep. We found the things we wanted to see in Abu Dhabi were pretty spread out but this was central enough to it all. The hotel is located about 30 minutes from Zayed International Airport and Yas Island and about 15 minutes away from the Saadiyat Cultural District with all its museums and the Galleria area. There are some dining options and smaller stores nearby but it is a short drive away from some better options.
We booked a room with a king bed and had a good stay in it. The room was small but considering the price we felt it was well appointed with a mini fridge, coffee/tea station, small TV and a closet. The pillows were pretty comfy and we felt we had a good night's rest when we stayed. We booked a non smoking room and so did our cousin but it seems that despite what our booking website showed the smoking is allowed in many of the rooms. They did spray our room with a deodorizer before we got in and we felt it helped. There are enough plugs throughout the rooms and there was enough lighting even though it only came from the table side lamps. The area is very active and late into the night and my wife found it a bit noisy, had issues sleeping and needed to use ear plugs but I found it was quiet enough and had no issues falling asleep each night. We didn't need AC during our stay in February because our room was the right temperature for us but there was a thermostat on the wall.
The bathroom had lots of room and a good sized bath tub. The shower felt great and offered good pressure and plenty of steam. They had shower gel, shampoo and body lotion that are restocked each day. The ventilation could have been a bit stronger because the condensation from our steamy showers left the floor damp. Thankfully there is daily housekeeping to help with this issue.
There aren't any amenities at this hotel other than a small business centre. There are some restaurants nearby to grab a quick bite but we had to drive a bit to go to places we wanted to try. The parking nearby is all paid but is free between 11:00pm-8:00am and we were lucky our first night getting a spot right in front of the hotel with Unais' help but the second night we had to park about a block away. Parking costs 2 AED per hour but there are special rates for longer stays like 24 hours.
We felt this hotel was convenient for our stay in Abu Dhabi because we didn't want to spend a lot on a place we wouldn't spend much time in. This met our needs perfectly.
