    Service was slow, check-in took more than 20 minutes (although we were first in line). Breakfast is eaten in the room - not convenient. Breakfast is minimal, no coffee. Breakfast was served 25 minutes later than ordered (crucial when one needs to run to the gate...). Windowless rooms.

    Location is excellent, right within the terminal, very good for long layovers. Rooms are small, yet include everything one needs while transferring.

    Long queue for checkin - they need a better system. No one wants that after a long flight… Expensive. But I guess you pay for convenience.

    Very quiet, comfortable room. Convenient for a layover.

    Queen size bed, not king, but very comfortable and clean!

    • Family Room (Maximum 12 Hours stay)

    Junior Suite was advertised as having a king-sized bed but really has a queen-sized bed. The actual benefit of the Junior Suite over the Family Room is that there are two separate bedrooms in the Junior Suite. There was a bright green light on the ceiling of the room - I’m not sure what it was for as I saw a separate smoke detector. No way to turn it off as far as I could see, so if you need total darkness to sleep make sure you bring your eyemask!

    So convenient to be transit-side, and the beds were super comfortable! Very worthwhile to get some real sleep in a real bed - adds to the vacation time you get to enjoy when you arrive at your destination actually rested. They gave us a free upgrade during our second stay on the way home (I think because of the mistake with the bed size advertised on booking.com).

    The cost information about check in check out isn't clear. The price is astronomical for a transit hotel. The line for Pearl lounge confusing for checking in for AUHotel.

    Check in staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms were nice and quiet.

    The only real feedback for the hotel is to get some dampeners or something for the room doors as I was woken a few times due to the doors slamming behind other guests leaving or entering their room.

    We had a 15 hour layover in Abu Dhabi and having this hotel made it really easy. The room was clean and comfortable and easy to darken so you can sleep without issues. We made a bit of a mistake during our booking and booked a family room for 4 people, it is only meant for three so we had to sleep one adult and two children in a queen size bed and the last adult in the single bed.

    A few small things- the shower wasn't draining quick enough so overflowed slightly. We wish there was milk for our coffee/tea. And the walls were a little thin so I did hear a bit from the neighbors. But it served our purpose very well.

    We had a very long layover, so this was perfect to sleep and shower. Room was just what we needed- comfortable bed and nice bathroom. Staff were very kind and helpful.

    The room is very small and cramped, and the walls are thin, so you can constantly hear other guests coming and going. The receptionist was also very unfriendly.

    This is an excellent place for those who need to rest between flights when there are long hours to wait. It’s important to note that the stay at the hotel is limited to six hours only.
