AD business visit

The Hotel does not have parking facilities so finding a parking after 9pm is a nightmare. The parking around the hotel area is Residential parking after 9pm and you need to get a permit to park in the common parkings on the road. Service was too slow and everytime we had to request for the daily water and coffee which was supposed to be in the room.

Overally OK..

Hotel rooms are generally spacious and comfortable. However, the facilities are a bit old and I was a little surprised to find cockroaches in the bathroom.

Grand Prix Weekend in Abu Dhabi

At 120GBP per night, excl breakfast, this was a very average stay. Staff were over particular at check-in. Within or adjoining the Hotel are two bars and a nightclub, at least! There's a very 'Indian' and masculine vibe throughout, i.e. I only saw one woman staying there and countless men (this may not be accurate on the whole but it appeared a very male dominated clientele in my eyes). Expect to be hounded by 'ladies of the night' in the adjoining Attic Bar/Sports Bar. Acknowledging it was Grand Prix weekend in Abu Dhabi but this place is very overpriced and I wouldn't pay >70GBP at any other time. On the positive side, the room and bed were big, comfortable and clean (albeit the decor very dated) and felt relatively safe.
