On the plus side, our two bedroom suite was lovely, although the view of the Sheikh Zayed Road was less than scenic (it's essentially a motorway). It was noisy though: the traffic noise still managed to percolate up to the 19th floor. It was frustrating that although we turned up at 8am we had to wait until 3:30 for a... More

If you are in Dubai for the busy fairs then nothing can save you more time than this hotel. located just opposite the fair grounds, all you need to do is just walk the pedestrian bridge. The hotel is world class. 5 star undoubtedly. The richness reflected right from the lobby area to the rooms. If price is no constraint... More

The hotel is great, the service is excellent, the restaurant was lovely, breakfast served in the bedroom was on time & as you'd expect from a 5 star hotel. The swimming pool on a high floor could be a problem for some, but it is clean & well maintained. The rooms are good sized and bath is clean. Location is... More

I stayed in Fairmont for only one night due to Business Travel. I loved the hosbitality of the recieption staff (Egyptian) and the quick check in. The bed was very comfortable. I hated the location. It is one of the most crowded location on Shikh Zayed Road. I spent one hours waiting to get my car through Valet Parking. Do... More

After having stayed at the Fairmont in Abu Dhabi several times, this hotel is quite a disappointment. The building could use a serious update. The lobby and restaurants look drab and depressing. Service was OK but slow -- it took us 30 minutes to get our car from valet! Overall, not to Fairmont standards.

We were welcomed very warmly by Mr.Arjun who was in the reception. The rooms were ready and as requested one connecting room was provided. The rooms were on the 27th floor with view of Burj Khalifa. Excellent service, clean rooms and bath rooms. The towels were frequently changed. Good food and room service. As the hotel is the city center... More

I'm going to be particuarly picky in my review of this hotel, since Fairmont positions itself as one of the best 5* brands in the world (and certainly charges you this way). positives: - great looking building, the lobby and floors nicely decorated. Room was of reasonable size and nicely decorated and the bathroom (although a little old looking) had... More

The hotel exceeded our expectations. My wife and me, we had a two-room suite which was very big, and immaculate with a big bathroom and an additional WC at the entrance which is very convenient. The employees were always present when needed and helpful. Restaurant named “The Exchange Grill” deserves a visit as service and food qualities are excellent.

I had a very disappointing stay - the whole experience was pretty much average but there were some elelemts that were disctinctly below average for a 5 star hotel. First of all the restaurant on the first floor - bit of a round the world experience was very good and I include food, presentation and staff. That said my experience... More

A landmark hotel, with great location and rooms, good facilities and generally excellent service. However, the Club's standard has eroded over time - service is shaky at times, lounge is looking a little dated and the refreshments fall far short of competitors such as the Intercontinental. One choice of wine, no champagne and unattractive canapés are not acceptable. Also, perhaps... More
