Hotels near Du Arena, Abu Dhabi

"This is a beautiful place. The rooms are like those on a good cruise ship – small, but cozy and clean, with everything you need. The hotel itself is built on the water, by the pier. Breakfast is served on a neighboring docked yacht, and it's a rich and varied buffet. There's an affordable dinner cruise option, though it's not available every day. The hotel isn't far from the airport; you can get a cheap taxi. However, getting to the airport on your own is tricky. You'd either have to walk 3 kilometers along the shoulder, through a tunnel under the sea, or take a luxury transfer from the Marina up to central Abu Dhabi. For tourists who prefer using public transport (which is quite cheap and convenient in Abu Dhabi), getting around from this hotel can be challenging as the nearest bus stop is two kilometers away. But if you manage to get there, all of Abu Dhabi's main attractions are close by. Ferrari World, Warner Bros. World, the aquarium, Yas Mall, the race track, and the Marina with its luxurious yachts are all just three stops away. The only downsides are the noise from the race track and the constant take-offs from the nearby airport."

"Location/Pros: Within YAS ISLAND, getting a taxi is very convenient and everything is close by. Location/Cons: No view outside the window, only a construction site. Facilities/Pros: Has a washing machine, sofa bed, 2 bathrooms, etc., all very convenient; the sofa bed is large and comfortable. Service/Cons: When booking on Trip.com, I noted that I needed the sofa bed prepared in advance, but it wasn't. I also mentioned this at the front desk, but no one came to set it up promptly. Only after calling from the room again did someone come to make the bed. The front desk staff's attitude was generally rather cold. Value for money/Cons: At a price of about 2500 RMB/night, it didn't include theme park tickets because it was booked through an agency. The booking itself also didn't include breakfast. Overall, the value for money is actually not high; I'd suggest considering other hotels. Breakfast/Cons: The front desk recommended buying breakfast separately, which was apparently 600 AED for 6 people (3 people * 2 days). Breakfast was at the adjacent hotel, with a very high proportion of children, making it noisy and quite messy. Service staff were inefficient or understaffed, leading to overall slow operations. The tables and chairs weren't clean. The breakfast content was also very mediocre."

"The hotel's biggest advantage is its location right on the Yas Marina Circuit. However, our room was on the second floor, and the large balcony obstructed the view of the track. If you want a good view of the circuit from your room, it's best to request a room on the third floor or higher. Check-in was very quick. During the Chinese New Year, there were many Chinese guests, and we even received special chocolate gifts. There are also many Indian guests at the hotel, and the breakfast offers a dedicated Indian section. Of course, there's Chinese food too, though not a huge variety. They had spring rolls, stir-fried rice noodles with Laoganma chili crisp and pickled mustard, and steamed fish which was decent. The pan-fried dumplings were the most popular; a fresh plate would be half-gone by the time I looked away. You can order eggs made to your liking; I had Eggs Benedict two days in a row. Breakfast gets very crowded, but you get a great view of a large section of the racetrack, which is fantastic. The shuttle service to the theme parks is very convenient and available at all times. However, to get to the actual racetrack, you'll need a taxi, which was reasonably priced at 12 dirhams."

"Facilities: Excellent. The outdoor pool is heated, and the water quality is good. Hygiene: Clean and tidy. Environment: Great, and the location is excellent. It's about a 10-minute drive to the amusement park. Service: Prompt and efficient."

"The room was spacious, a suite actually, and very clean. The service was excellent, very warm and attentive. My child accidentally scraped their leg, and a staff member immediately came to inquire, offered a bandage, and even called later to check up on us. Highly recommended!"

"Everything is really nice with the hotel, they even accomodated us to a one bedroom suite when requested. The only drawback was the overcrowded breakfast buffet and the arrangements being accross three rooms that was very annoying and not a pleasant experience. But the property is beautiful and location is perfect would recommend anyone to stay here."

"It's quite convenient to get to all four main theme parks on Yas Island, with shuttle buses connecting them. The environment is pretty noisy, probably because it's too close to the circuit. Every night, there's engine roaring that goes on until the early hours of the morning, and the aircraft noise from Abu Dhabi airport taking off and landing is also very loud. I stayed for 3 days, and on two of those days, the housekeeping wasn't done properly: on one day, the rubbish bin wasn't emptied, and on another, the used towels weren't taken away. Even after housekeeping, there was still some dust on the floor. What I found most unacceptable was the carpet; it was all grey and hadn't been replaced. It was also placed under the foot of the bed, making the foot of the bed higher than the head. The pool was great, and the kids had a lot of fun, playing several times without any issues. I'm not sure why, but on the last day, after coming back from the pool just before leaving, I developed a red rash on my chest."

"Place is good generally. However a few issues stands out. At reception check-in, they will ask you to email them your booking details or take a photo of your app booking. Please remember to hide certain private details ie. Trip.com pin number as that is only for our personal use. We waited about 1hr for checking almost 3pm the usual check-in time although many people were checking out earlier. When we entered room, bedsheets were all wet. It didn't dry properly, both beds were wet. They helped us changed. Then the lights short-circuited, they need to reset. Then the toilet choked. The flushing mechanism can be improved, it gets stuck when you press the button and flushing is not smooth. breakfast was decent, limited options for mains. Overall, it was passable. But for Yas island hotel and brand name of park inn, we expected a lot better. Similar to a budget hotel vibe"

"What I liked about this hotel: the small pool, gym, delicious breakfast, and friendly staff. It was also great that I could check in in the morning without any extra charge. I only have positive impressions."
