Staybridge Suites Yas Island Abu Dhabi by IHG

Staff were really helpful on reception, providing more coat hangers (We might have packed too many clothes), to providing extra housekeeping services when my partner was unwell, to the free vouchers to access Yas Beach Club, and helping me understand the Yas Express bus timetable that gave us free lifts to Yas Shopping Mall, or Yas Bay / Marina....They really wanted to help and made me feel I could ask any question. One area for improvement would be to make sure when we checked in that we knew we could access the services in the Crown Plaza Hotel next door too, and what those were! The free evening buffet on Monday to Thursdays (6pm to 8pm) is simple fare - but perfectly tasty. Soup starter with multiple bread options, then choices of pasta or a rice dish ie curry; plus salad bar or cooked vegetables (inc chips) and 2 dessert options - such as fruit crumble / pannacotta. I can not believe they provide this FREE to all guests four nights a week!! Amazing. The breakfast buffet provided everyday (6am to 10:30am) provides a HUGE selection of items - everything from porridge, yogurt, fruit (watermelon, rock melon, pineapple, kiwi, bananas, dragon fruit), cereal to continental options, to curry to a salad bar, to ordering eggs cooked as you want them, to toast, to pancakes / waffles, to cooked items like Chicken Sausages, Turkey Bacon (no pork for reasons of their faith), Beans, Tomatoes, potatoes (like hash browns), Mushrooms, fruit juices. Very clean environment - and housekeeping were excellent throughout. We chose a 2 bedroom 'flat' and loved that both rooms were ensuite, that the lounge area was larger than planned, that the kitchen was very well equipped - down to a cheese grater! The balcony stretch across all 3 rooms. All in all, it was a very comfortable stay. The rooms were quiet and the air conditioning was very effective. It felt secure - the lift requires a current room key to access the exact floor your room is on.

The Family Suite is spacious and provides enough privacy for a couple and their two teenagers. Two balkonies with a nice view. Strong A/C. Very good breakfast offering enough variety. Excellent bread. Highlight was the complimentary dinner that was offered by the hotel every day. We also very much enjoyed the 'breakfast to go' option on the day of our departure. Special thanks to the very friendly and attentive staff. Always there to promptly help with any request.

During off peak season when it is hot in Abu Dhabi, this place is good value for money for a very spacious and comfortable apartment. Although the booking only mentioned breakfast, they also had free dinner during our stay. The apartment was spacious and sofa was comfortable to sit in. Bed was comfortable to sleep in. Little closet to keep your suitcases and shopping was a nice touch

One of the best hotels we ever stayed. Good value for the money. We received complimentary dinner during the week days we were there, in February, that was really helpful and nice. We have enjoyed the facilities from the pool and spa area of Crown Plaza that were included. The beach is about 15 min walk distance but they can take you there with a golf car. Is an indoor playground for children as well as one outdoor. The personal from the reception very nice and responsive. The hotel is nearby the free public transport for the attractions in Abu Dhabi.

From the moment we pulled up, to the moment we left, we were made to feel welcome and this meant our stay on Yas Island was really special. The staff were exceptional and attentive, the 2 bedroom apartment was spacious and well-appointed. The location is set in a cluster of other hotels and apartments and very convenient to bars and restaurants. We went to a show in Etihad Arena and could easily walk.
