Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Bab Al Qasr Hotel from previous guests about their experience

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the Bab Al Qasr Hotel's distinctive Arabic architecture, with many highlighting its prime location near the Corniche and Presidential Palace. The beach and pool are frequently mentioned as highlights, and some guests have enjoyed the piano concerts in the lobby. While the breakfast has received mixed feedback, with some finding the selection limited, the spacious rooms and proximity to landmarks like Qasr al Watan, Emirates Palace and Abu Dhabi Corniche walk make for a memorable stay. The well-equipped gym with treadmills and stationary bikes also adds to the appeal.

ngurah from housekeeping did a fantastic job keeping my room comfortable and clean. the service was great overall. I was impressed with the attention to detail and everyone's helpful attitude.

i found that the gym was quite crowded during peak hours. more space and additional machines would definitely enhance the fitness experience. hopefully, this can be addressed soon.

i found the gym well equipped. it had equipment such as treadmills and stationary bikes. the pool area was amazing. i liked the beach built on the complex.

the wifi signal was weak in some areas of the hotel. it forced me to use mobile data often. i felt the hotel resembled a holiday village more than a 5-star hotel. the decor was not elaborate.
