Grand Villaggio Hotel, Abu Dhabi

We had booked this hotel for 3 days and we were actually really shocked! We had already paid so unfortunately we couldn't leave earlier. The pool was literally so small and the water was cold. Because it is on the roof terrace there was no sun. We were shivering from the cold. The beds by the pool were DISGUSTING. I would rather have sat on the floor. Food was full of salt. There was a lot of noise every night, but the last night really took the cake. I don't know if they have a disco or something there, but the people that come there are really horrible. They walked half naked on the street screaming until the police came. Then an ambulance followed. Finally there were 2 women literally touching a man in the lobby. Our children were really upset. This is really NOT acceptable. This is not a family hotel, not even a normal people hotel. Does not meet at all what the Emirates an Islamic state stands for. We come to Dubai more times a year and have never seen this. I can't say a word about this hotel. PITY!

Hotel is ok. The sound of the lift (makes a sound every time the doors open) can drive one crazy. The window in my room was also not soundproof. Bring earplugs! No breakfast at the property. The rest is great (room, location, service).

Good choice if you need to stay nearby the Al Wanda mall
