My wife & I decided to embark on a 2 country trip to Doha, Qatar and Abu Dhabi, UAE to celebrate her milestone birthday. Our search for a 5 Star hotel in Abu Dhabi that met all our requirements happily ended at Royal Rose. I contacted the hotel via email to inform them of our reservation and the purpose of our trip and Prince Varghese promptly replied and offered us a complimentary upgrade to a spacious suite. On arrival at the hotel, check in by Iana was smooth & we began to soak in the unique feel of the hotel and our lovely room!!! Breakfast was 5 star and Bilal and Amal were always on hand to assist with anything we required. Our thanks to Issuru who made us lovely eggs to our taste each morning. One beautiful thing about Royal Rose is its location a walking distance from various type of shops and restaurants etc. All requests to the reception from our room were promptly responded to. I would recommend Royal Rose Hotel, Abu Dhabi to anyone wanting to visit as we had a lovely, memorable stay. Thank you Prince and all the Management and staff of Royal Rose for making our stay with you memorable. We will surely plan another stay with you in the very near future.
