"Room was very dirty"
Whoever rated this 4 star I have no idea how that was possible. If this is a 2 star is being kind. I went with 2 colleagues all had to change room multiple times due to unsanitary conditions.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close to downtown and not far from beach and malls"
I enjoyed staying at SANDS and surely will stay there whenever I will visit AbuDhabi . Breakfast buffet was amazingGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"It's ok"
Internet is slow Checkin & checkout are extremely slowGenuine Expedia guest review
"Okay Hotel near downtown"
The hotel was decently located. There were some good restaurants nearby. The hotel claimed to have free Wi Fi but it did not work in my room. They had to give me a hardwired line to get to the internet. Guess it was okay.Genuine Expedia guest review
"4 stars ? must be improved ... Service is good."
The maintenance is missing, Unable to open any windows all are fixed. Service is good in generale but manything are not well fixed or well repared. Noise due to renovation.Genuine Expedia guest review
"The Sands in Abu Dhabi"
The pictures give a wrong impression of the hotel. The rooms are not high quality and the service was not that great, the manager was the only one that could answer my question about how to make an outside call. My toilet didn't flush and when it did after 7-8 tries, you couldn't flush it again for the next hour. I was locked out of my room twice and […] I only stayed there 2 nights. The elevator was under construction. The pool was not cleaned and unavailable for use. On a positive note, the staff in the restaurant were very hospitable. The area that the hotel is in seemed a little on the under priviledged side of downtown area. The internet claimed that the hotel had a spa in it but all they do is massages. There is no beauty/barber shop. I was really disappointed. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Evaluation of the hotel from my point of view"
A hotel situated in the center of the city of Abu Dhabi with eating places and shopping places at walking distance. The staff was courteous and helpful. We found the business center and the computer terminals particularly helpful. We could not enjoy the swimming pool facility however that was available. The rooms were somewhat oblong; would have preferred […] if the width was in proportion to length. Also the bathroom area for a double room was lesser that preferred. The locatio and easy availability of taxis outweighed all other considerations. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Facilities disappointing"
We had a one bedroom suite for 3 adults, therefore needed the third bed to be made up in the sitting room, and additional supplies for the kitchen and bathroom. These simple requests proved to be a huge problem for the staff. After check in we asked for the above to be done whilst we were out sight seeing during the afternoon and evening. On our return […] to the suite, nothing had been done. It then took housekeeping no less than 6 visits to our suite, to provide these simple tasks. Also this hotel advertises wi-fi, which it does not have. Our suite was on 9th floor, and when we complained that we couldn't get wi fi, we were told the 9th floor is difficult. I suggest if you really need this service, go to another hotel. For us, thank goodness we only stayed one night! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Convenient Location at a Good Price"
I occupied two rooms for six nights. The rooms conditions were average with old furniture. The location is next to a main street where all requiremnts are available. The corniche is near.Genuine Expedia guest review

"very bad one"
stuff was cold and unhelpfull, the night crowd at the hotel is different than the guest there caue of the bar on he first floor. it ok for singles not to take your wife there.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Avoid this place."
Very smoky and run down hotel. Doors don't close. Bedsheets stunk of foul foot odor, our non smoking room was reeking of fresh cigarette smoke and fet very unsafe. The doors had paint missing and the locks were not working. The receptionist was also kind of short. Very below the stated 3 star standard. Avoid at all costs - its in the run down part of […] central Abu Dhabi and 1 hours drive from the airport. So add cab fare onto the hotel price and it'll equal the cost of a 5 star hotel near the airport or in a nicer area. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Misleading info, but close to everything"
This hotel is one of the oldest in AD and has been renovated to fit AD modern image. It looks nice & pretty from outside, at lobby, and restaurants. The first room given to me was like a motel or 1 star hotel room, it was close to a ventilation that smelled curry at all times and had a terrible air condition. I insisted on getting a room similar to […] what is shown on expedia web site, and finally given one. The hotel is close to everything especially if you're visiting oil companies in downtown Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"close to bars and restaurants and night spots"
Staff at reception were efficient and very helpful and knowledgeable. Valet guys good as well. I really enjoyed my stay and the staff were great. Ordered a blanket from reception late one night and delivered quickly. Also needed another towel when we booked in and they were at the door before I had time to call housekeeping. Really good. Would definitely […] stay there again when wanting a night in the city. I live in Abu Dhabi but off the island. Really satisfied. Thanks Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Stay before back to UK for good"
This is a reasonable 3 Star Hotel, but certainly not 4 Star. All Staff were friendly and helpful. The Web site we used said Breakfast was included in the price, when we arrived we were told this was not the case and that the site was wrong and many others had complained in the past, so we suggest you check before you arrive. We think its about time […] the Hotel sorted that out ! Our Standard Room was not in good condition. We understand that much of the Hotel has been recently refurbished, but our room obviously was not part of that refurbishment !!! Any meals we had were good, in particular the breakfast, which of course we had to pay extra for. Overall the Hotel is good value for money. Providing you do not expect too much for your money, you will be happy there. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

When I booked online it was with breakfast included, when I got to the hotel they told me is was room only, this is the second time this has happened when I book using Hotel .com. Please explain why this happens.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Location Location Location"
The Hotel was what you would expect from a 4ish star hotel in terms of dated decor, some areas looking a bit tired, etc. However, the staff, and I mean all the staff were absolutely wonderful. They were polite, helpful and genuinely cared about your comfort. They really really cared and that made our stay most enjoyable. the location was great for us, […] the Corniche was minutes away and so were some of the malls. The hotel also had a roof top pool, which although a bit small, was adequate for us. Food was very good and there was more than enough variety. Overall, I thought it was good value for money and I would stay here again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Comfortable and good value"
A very comfortable stay. The staff were all very helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them.

"No fuzz"
Quite ok with friendly staff, always helping out and very polite. Location is ok, within 10-15 minutes walk away from Abu Dhabi mall. If you need any general stores, there are both supermarkets and shopping centres nearby.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"My stay in Abu Dhabi"
The hotel looked nice in the lobby but it is very dated and old looking. Needs a refurbishment. The beds were clean. Needs fresh paint as the walls looked tatty and it smells musty.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Sans Hotel Abu Dhabi"
Far from a 4 star Hotel, close to a 2 star. We had to change room because of noisy guests next door, call the room service for new water boiler, only towels for 1 person even if we were 2, had to argue about promised free parking that never existed etc... Everything had to be done the hard way and the decoration is from the 80's... All in all... you […] can find cheaper 2 star hotels offering a better stay... Seriously this stay made me lose faith in the official star rating. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Sands"
The hotel was an old hotel with a new frontage, the lifts seemed to tak for every (slow slow and then would pass your floor. The food (i had ribeyer beef) was poor and the breakfast hwas also poor. It has a couple of good good bars and is well located.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Who needs sleep?"
Stay here if you the following applies: 1) wish to be kept up at night until 02.00 with the music from the nightclubs 2) like to hear other residents enjoying the services of the numerous Russian prostitutes 3) like walking around in the dark, as they do not turn on the lights 4) like to drink in a bar where the only light is that from the pool table […] as and when people are playing a game 5) like surly reception staff 6) like to be called via the room phone at any time of day or night by the Russian prostitutes looking for business Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Sands Hotel 9 nights"
Staff are fantastic. Interior decor a little tired, which we were are told is in hand. Lifts didn't always stop where they should especially when at limit (5 persons) which considering their size seemed low. Only negative, with a bar on the first floor, some guests seemed to have "companions" which made for an uncomfortable feeling. It was reasonable […] priced and in the right location for us, would consider again but have looked at alternatives while we were there. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Does what is says on the tin"
Well located if you need to be in the business area, Harvester Bar in the basement is OK and the food is pretty good. Ideal for short stopovers but not what you would call a holiday hotel. Lifts were a problem as one is being replaced so only two in operation at present, waited 10 mins to go get a lift down when checking out.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Thanks Sands Hotel"
Location is very handy, room was quiet, had a nice view, bed was comfortable, room set-up was great.
