Hotel Details

Location

Located in central Abu Dhabi, 4 km from Qasr al-Hosn and 7 km from Louvre Abu Dhabi. Zayed International Airport is 32 km away.

Review on

This is a partitioned room accommodation, not a standard hotel - rooms are made of gypsum walls with large openings between partitions, offering no sound or light privacy.
Balconies are often inaccessible or blocked.
Rooms are very small, with thin mattresses and no reliable supply of towels, sheets, or toilet paper.
The property is not signposted; the exact address is a residential apartment on the 8th floor above a grocery store.
No on-site reception or real front desk - contact is via WhatsApp after booking.
Pets are not allowed.
Public parking costs 15 AED per day and requires a reservation.
