Very modern hotel. Check in service by Ms Suity was very thorough but timely. Hotel amenities and services are commendable. The view from the room facing the F1 track is a major highlight. Stayed for a night but wished I was staying longer immediately I got into the room.

W Yas island resort is an amazing property situated on F1 race track in Abu Dhabi. The property is huge with multiple fNB outlets that serve different cuisines. The coffee shop is huge and well laid out that serves a good spread in breakfast. The bar at the lobby level is excellent inside as well as the verandah that opens up at the track side and offers great views. The drinks tasted better in the lovely atmosphere. The roof top bar is also fantastic. The spa offers a variety of treatments and I enjoyed a hammam treatment here. The gym is well appointed and offers a view of the creek which is quite lively. The rooms are well appointed and offer great views. The hotel has a crown which gets lighted up in the evenings and the overall view is mesmerising. The staff is excellent and polite. We had fantastic time here. Read less

Clipton at the front desk was the only good part about our stay. He was super helpful and accommodating. The rest of our experience wasn’t great. I guess I was expecting a better than average hotel / service as W was priced higher than other options at Yas. The restaurant at the hotel was really average - I regretted buying a half board. The most disappointing moment was having to pay for milk for baby food - been to hotels around the world and have never had to pay for milk. Not about the money but a matter of principle - really disappointed. Read less
