Very happy with the service and courtesy of the staff at the Royal International. We were always greeted with smiles whenever we walked in, and we always had taxis hailed for us. Not to mention the great advice about local transport and local dining options. (Sponge-Bobs behind the hotel is great for shwarmas by the way). There's some other great... More

I stayed in the hotel 3 nights, in a single room after a long flight from Sydney and before a long flight back to Europe. Could have been a 5 but I put a 4 because of the front desk staff. Good things: View was nice, room very clean with bath and shower, newspaper in the morning, big and nice... More

This hotel is easily accessible via taxis and even public buses. Upon arrival into Abu Dhabi Airport, we decided to take the taxi which cost us only AED55 (what a bargain especially with the amount of luggage's we had plus arriving early in the morning). The front desk staff was so kind to let us have an early check in... More

Very easy to find, front desk staff and valet staff is very professional and courteous. Room was clean and quiet. My only issues are very minor: king sized bed was not available, even though that's what I booked. So, I was forced to take two twin beds. And also, I prefer sealed toiletries in the bathroom. It is kind of... More

My wife and I just spent two days at this hotel, and we were impressed. The staff is extraordinary, the prices of rooms and meals are fair, the rooms are stylish and comfortable, and the rooftop pool, spa, and gym were delightful. I'd give this hotel at least a four star rating in every category. What really stands out--and what... More

The hotel was very small and seemed old and outdated. The rooms are very small, even though other reviewers had said they were big...maybe for an ant family. The pool area which is on the roof and uncovered which makes it incredibly hot is tiny. There is room for about 4 sun loungers and they were full of men smoking.... More

The room is spacious yet i didn't have a clean feeling in the room. The aircon temperature cannot be changed and there was a disturbing noise even if it was turned off. The bathroom was great with both a seperate rain shower and a bath tub. The breakfast was ok. Also the location is ok. Good for 2-3 days, nothing... More
