What guests think

At InterContinental Abu Dhabi by IHG, travellers highlight exceptionally friendly staff, a marina side location with a private beach, and extensive pools and dining, while also noting the property’s age with dated areas and intermittent maintenance issues.

Rooms are generally spacious and comfortable, with some feedback about weak soundproofing, occasional odors, and finicky air conditioning. Dining and breakfast receive frequent praise for variety and quality, but some found prices high, the buffet inconsistent, queues at peak times, or a too cold dining room. Cleanliness feedback is mostly positive, yet a few reviews cite unclean check in, pests, or worn linens. Overall, this suits travellers seeking full resort facilities and value near the marina.

Very nice, contemporary hotel with well-built rooms and walk-in showers. Nice views of the water from many rooms. Great private beach area with a great spa. Only complaint is with the gym. It has a good arrangement of equipment, including weightlifting equipment (my priority), but much of the equipment has rust on it and it makes you question the safety/maintenance and how frequently it's done on things like cables, pulleys, etc. Also, dumbbells only go up to 70lbs - would be nice to have heavier.

This is a beautiful hotel with fantastic faciltiies. There are several gorgeous dining options. The pools are lovely and the beach is such a lovely space too. There are places to walk to around and about but it is too hot for this really and it is very easy and cheap to take a taxi. If you want the waterpark and Yas island nightlife then this hotel is a good half an hour taxi ride from Yas island. however, the location for us was perfect and we were happy to travel to Island on 2 occasions rather than stay out there. The staff were just brilliant at the Intercontinental and I felt a real sense of welcoming and family friendliness, nothing was ever too much for them! I would recommend that it is worth taking the all inclusive offer. Drinks and food are expensive and so the 'All inclusive' works really well and is excellent value. There are several fantastic hotels on site and I would really recommend these, otherwise it is a taxi drive to somewhere else to eat. However, if you do want to go out and about then the hotel are flexible with the all inclusive and we were able to take it on a day to day basis which is brilliant. Loved our stay here thank you!

Completamente decadente, mobiliário do quarto com manchas e velhos. Fotos na internet não condizem com o que se encontra. Concierge perdido, não conhece a cidade e nem fala um inglês razoável. Janelas do quarto imundas e cheias de cocô de pombas, que fazem barulho o tempo todo. Resumindo: um LIXO!!!

When I arrived the checking was very slow as the room were not available. We had to wait like 45 mins. But when we checked in, we found out the room was small and smelly. We spoke to them and they upgraded us to a better and spacious room which made it worth it. It was a nice stay to be fair. Everything went well. It is in a nice area. The only small issue is that it is an old hotel. It’s 45 years old. Needs to be renovated.

This is not a property to make you go wow, but neither is the price for this type of hotel. It’s a really good, functional resort close to the heart of Abu Dhabi. We really enjoyed our stay here, we felt comfortable and looked after by the staff. The rooms are from a previous generation, however they are spacious and functional. Try and get the highest floor possible to try and minimise the street racing that was taking place, if you got some spare money, pay for a sea/marina view room which will solve that problem!

You need to improve two things. 1. The lady welcomed us wasnt qualified speaking English properly. she is almost mumbling words and a bit hard to understand. The funny fact is I was born in Australia and a native speaker. 2. Someone called me in a room at 11:25, asking we are checking out or extend our stay. It is pretty rude calling directly in a room before noon and encouraged us to check out quick. This is pretty rude and funny

This is a beautiful 5 1/2 star hotel. The concierge could not be more helpful and accommodating. All staff are excellent. After one morning's breakfast almost all restaurant staff knew your name and what you liked. I cannot praise this hotel's staff enough. It’s one of the few hotels in Abu Dhabi (probably the only one) with smoking and nonsmoking rooms, two beds per room, and pork served in one restaurant.

What makes this hotel a truly unique place are the people who work there. Staff was always kind, helpful, smiling, working very hard to make guests happy and that should be recognised foremost. The hotel has its own history which is fantastic and when you read the lower score reviews don't discourage yourself from booking because slightly outdated furniture doesn't matter at all. Rooms are spacious and tidy, it's quite and safe with easy parking and you can walk to the Corniche beach. We loved our stay and would honestly recommend it. Thank you Intercontinental Abu Dhabi for making our stay with you a memorable experience.
