If you are looking to visit Abu Dhabi, look no further than The W Hotel Abu Dhabi. The team at the W hotel goes above and beyond to ensure your time in the hotel exceeds your expectations! My partner and I have never experienced the level of kindness, luxury, cleanliness, relaxation, and overall amazing customer service that we experienced in the W Hotel Abu Dhabi. We did not want to leave, it really felt like a home away from home! From the moment we checked into the hotel, with the lovely receptionist Anas, our bedroom was absolutely fabulous, with a wonderful view of the bay and racecourse. The bed was like a cloud, so comfy! The accommodation staff were phenomenal, the room was left immaculate each day and with a gorgeous touch most evenings to put a smile on our faces, housekeeping would decorate our room with rose petals and towel art. My partner celebrated his birthday whilst staying in the W Hotel, and they left a beautiful display & cake in the room for him! We would like to mention our special thanks to Samjay & Raza - you put a smile on our faces each day. The food at the W Hotel is second to none. Breakfast each morning is absolutely delicious, with something for everyone and extensive flavours, fresh juices, cold & cooked buffet style options! There is a very yummy Italian on site too. Finally, the Wet Deck - of all the things to do in Abu Dhabi, some of our most enjoyed moments were spent at the Wet Deck bar, sun-lounging, and in that pool! The staff on the Wet Deck rooftop adults pool & bar are the best staff we have encountered in hospitality. The Wet Deck chef, bar staff, and lifeguards are so genuine and helpful. We look forward to those cocktails & chipotle burgers when we next visit! A special thank you to the wonderful, Joynal, the lifeguard. He is a credit and an asset to the hotel - he is incredibly friendly, kind, and provides a 5 star service to each guest lucky enough to encounter Joynal during their stay! We thank you so very much Joynal and all of the wonderful Wet Deck team - you made our holiday the best ever, we cannot wait to come back home to you! Thank you so much to everyone at the W Hotel. 5 Stars, 100% would recommend, 1000000% will be returning! Thank you so much again, From Colm & Grace, room 2306 🍹❤️ Read less

The W hotel and their staff went above and beyond to look after us on our 3 week stay for work. Even at full capacity they ensured that we were all well looked after. There are so many to thank however Sajid and Bianca come to mind. Definitely recommended
