Guest Reviews
- Jeannette (6/5): - Gym was a joke. Machines didn’t work and 2 sets of dumbbells.
- Romeo (10/5): - Friendly staff and they're helpful.
- 556rajank (2/5): Paid to be disrespected and assaulted shameful! - Visited Howard Johnson Hotel with friends. Service at the Asian bar was good, but we were denied entry to the Arabic bar because one of us wore slippers. The manager couldn't show any dress code policy and became aggressive, shouting in Urdu. Security guard Thomas was rude and even pushed my friend. The security supervisor refused to share his name and couldn't control his team. We had to call the police, but chose not to escalate. All we wanted was an apology and respect. Very disappointing experience hope management addresses this seriously.
- Romeo (10/5): - Great service. Clean. Everyone was helpful. Great location
- O4766MWkimberlym (10/5): Good - The room is very clean. Complete amenities. The staffs are very welcoming. Nice city view. Hot shower is perfectly working. We asked for late check out and they didn't hesitate to approved it. The staffs are all smiling at the front desk. We will definitely come back.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Overall fine experience with service minded staff giving free water bottles and fruit basket at arrival.
Only downside was the noisy night club. I was on 9th floor and night club on the ground floor. Had to sleep with earplugs and never have issues with a bit of noise.
- Seaside57258806556 (4/5): Feedback on Check-In/Check-Out Experience - This lack of service was disappointing, as I had hoped for a more welcoming experience.
There was no assistance offered for bringing my luggage to my car, even just outside the door.
- 687ghazalz (2/5): Cockroaches everywhere - ****************************Never again!!
************ Full of cockroaches and ZERO hygiene . I changed threeee different rooms , such a bad hotel. The manager’s response was “ get a refund if u don’t like the available rooms” so unprofessional attitude .
- Companion65235440637 (4/5): Good staff under a nonsensical boss!! - I have been a regular guest at Howard Johnson over the past couple of years. The staff at the front desk and the duty managers have been very helpful, friendly and courteous. There’s a senior manager, I’m told his name is Mathew, who is a cheap,extremely rude and highly uneducated person. This man is in a senior position at the Hotel and does not possess a grain of class and dignity. Many people will second my opinion spontaneously! A puny looking, cheaply dressed rude person like Mathew does not speak high of the selection of such a person in a hospitality industry! Maybe he can fit in a shanty tea stall and probably that’s where he’s from. Some food for thought for the Management!!!
- skumar296553 (8/5): Stay - The services provided was very good .Staff are vey friendly and the gust room ambiance and other facilities in the building are also very good
- S243WOmichaelf (10/5): Happy customer - MAHENDRA HERATH
RUDRA BAHORA Both are front office managers for two years now they take care of my stay at Howard Johnson Abu Dhabi hotel Stay, always hosting and hospitable, kind, accommodating , caring, going out of their way to make sure I am happy and comfortable during my long term staying. Outstanding service's and insuring my happiness during the stay, thank you both for a great and Profesional job! Much appreciated, I give you 5 star's!!Michael Ford
- 687ghazalz (2/5): Warsha the receptionist - Warsha is so rude. She doesn’t have any communication skills . She was yelling at us. Very rude and unprofessional. How do you hire such people!!!!! Very disappointing and frustrating . She is so rude. A receptionist who is repeatedly rude to people is not a receptionist you can keep at your hotel
- suteva320409 (10/5): Great value at the heart of Abu Dhabi - The location was amazing, in a nice neighborhood.
The room was really big and clean and all things needed were present. It far exceeded my expectations for the price.
Definitely recommend to anyone visiting Abu Dhabi.
- KG2824 (10/5): Excellent - quick check-in and check-out were done. I had a tour in the morning, so they were accommodating to keep my luggage safely for couple of hours with them. Staff was also friendly and helpful. We got a free upgrade to suite as well and there were no issues with the noise which was mentioned in previous comments I read.
- croman479857 (10/5): Good location and nice size rooms - We enjoyed our short stay there , the only issue was that the ventilation system worked only to cool off and it was freezing in the room even after we put the ventilation off and covered with the duvet .
- Welldone000 (2/5): Racist Staff - Poor service 0 hospitality.
They are racist
We entered to bar and tell them we are coming to celebrate birthday and can we wait for our friends and need 2 tables. They refused straight away without saying anything and answer if you need 2 tables but 2 big towers of beer. We just moved other side and staff start following us we stand near one table and staff make it separate so we can’t use that tables. Later when our friends came we are 7 and used only around small 1 table. When they know we are spending money then ruining behind us. There is manager on entrance with black suite no welcome no greeting nothing when he saw and white people he run behind them and give them what they want. For other nationalities they are not accommodating.
Don’t go there if you are not white skin
I will share some photos only 2 tables busy and still pushing us to pay or get out.
- Mohan (8/5): AD business visit - The Hotel does not have parking facilities so finding a parking after 9pm is a nightmare. The parking around the hotel area is Residential parking after 9pm and you need to get a permit to park in the common parkings on the road. Service was too slow and everytime we had to request for the daily water and coffee which was supposed to be in the room.
- mthand449710 (2/5): The Worst Experience I have ever had at a Hotel. - The Service was Bad, The Staff, The House Keeping Everything was not up too par. I mean the room they gave me was right by the elevator and the house keeping kept banging in my door with the vacuum cleaner. The towels in the bathroom were dirty!! My God The Worst.
- nzivko713159 (10/5): Great location, very clean and comfortable - Easy to reach from the airport with A2 bus, few minutues walk from the bus station. Downtown Abu Dhabi. Rooms are clean, have everything you need, check in and check out in couple of minutes, great value for the money. Reccomended
- _S1310PJ (2/5): Very rude security on 17th floor! - The security guards on 17th floor are very very rude and not professional at all. I was offended by one security guy who was so rude and impolite to me. This is the last time ever I stay in this hotel.
- Shayma (2/5): - Room was suppose to have a view and it didn’t, bad stay
- rahxar (4/5): Not a comfortable stay. - We had flight from abu dhabi so it was just a night stay at this hotel. I should not expect much from a 3 star hotel and should have expected this before booking it but i thought its just a night.
Room was really big, bed was ok too, bathroom was very small and after shower all water was leaking from the bath tub. We asked for a baby cot and they took more than an hour after me calling them 5 times to send it.
We had a higher floor room and i am glad for it because they have a night club in the basement and at lower floors noise level was worst. we felt it even in the lift.
There was a huge exit light in the room which lit the whole room and for us who sleep in pitch dark room, it was very uncomfortable.
- Peter (10/5): Really good room - Very nice place -- big room, well maintained.
Helpful staff.
Good location for local foods, close to lots of busses. etc
- dtauqe535578 (8/5): Good choice ☺️ - It has a good location. Please consider upgrading complementary tea and coffee along with it's representation. The lobby area can be upgraded with simple herbal tea or lemonade jar. The rooms should be music proof that is coming late night.
- jgeniz896968 (10/5): Worth it - Worth it the price... They are friendly,, overall i was happy
In last time i stay. Only one thing,, need proper cover of the blanket.. Otherwise all are good,, i want to request regarding of that for my next stay but its not big deal i know thats with easy solution
- Sang Hun (8/5): Overally OK.. - Hotel rooms are generally spacious and comfortable. However, the facilities are a bit old and I was a little surprised to find cockroaches in the bathroom.
- Natalie (8/5): - Ideal location, easy access to many places: the city, malls, street food, sea side, parks. Comfortable stay, super helpful, friendly and kind staff.
- Nory (6/5): - Personal amable, pero todo el edificio apestaba a cigarrillo. Por más q nos dieron una habitación de free smoking, igual se sentía el olor y la ropa de nosostros también olía a cigarrillo.
- Stelios (8/5): - Close to everything. Lots of party places in the building.
- Mayumi (10/5): Opinion Huespedes Mexicanos - Una experiencia increible,el personal del hotel muy servicial y acogedor, lo recomiendo 100% ademas ubicado en una zona donde hay varias tiendas para comprar souvenirs o comida, la limpieza genial.
- Isaiah (8/5): Good choice to stay - Overall i was not in my hotel room room too often but the service was always on point when I stepped into the hotel. We’re very educated and offered some great tips to local dinging spots as well as tours i covid Have taken
- Verified traveler (10/5): - It was a good one night stay.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - It was a good in night stay.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Good Stay - Good hotel to stay.. great for night out...
- Verified traveler (6/5): Grand Prix Weekend in Abu Dhabi - At 120GBP per night, excl breakfast, this was a very average stay.
Staff were over particular at check-in.
Within or adjoining the Hotel are two bars and a nightclub, at least! There's a very 'Indian' and masculine vibe throughout, i.e. I only saw one woman staying there and countless men (this may not be accurate on the whole but it appeared a very male dominated clientele in my eyes).
Expect to be hounded by 'ladies of the night' in the adjoining Attic Bar/Sports Bar.
Acknowledging it was Grand Prix weekend in Abu Dhabi but this place is very overpriced and I wouldn't pay >70GBP at any other time.
On the positive side, the room and bed were big, comfortable and clean (albeit the decor very dated) and felt relatively safe.
- Mohammad (6/5): - The disco sound was so bad loud in the room but the rooms are clean
- Verified traveler (2/5): - very loud music throughout the night. my sleep was completely disrupted till 4 AM. Will not recommend this at all.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Parking problem - No parking spaces
- Rick (2/5): Worst hotel that I've ever stayed at in my life! - I've traveled for over 12 years internationally. This was by far the worst hotel that I've ever stayed at. The lobby is full of cigarette smoke. There is a bar on the 4th floor that is full of working girls. On the weekends, you can't even get in the elevator because there are so many people waiting to go to the bar on the 4th floor. Never stay at this hotel. Spend the extra money and stay at another location. You will thank me later.
- Pavel (6/5): - Бордель
- Verified traveler (6/5): Bekvämt och rent hotell - Bra service och städning. Tyvärr lite väl hög ljudvolym från hotellets nattklubbar.
- syed (6/5): Nice hotel with free wifi - Cosy and have good breakfast.close to main downtown .
- Verified traveler (10/5): Awesome - It was amazing short break in this hotel. Near from what ever you need. Really I love it but who's traveling for business this hotel not good for business travelers and families because of nightclubs there.
- Hermann (8/5): Für die 3 Sterne ein gutes Hotel - Sehr freundlicher Empfang ,Speditiver Check Inn.Schnelle Zimmer Zuteilung
- Carina (10/5): Very good room for a reasonable price - Our room was spacious and had a good view of the city.
- Assem (6/5): Nice stay and location, Hard to find car park. - Nice stay and Quiet. Water and coffee was free even the break fast was cheap. Room was clean and smell fresh. WiFi was free.
parking service is not available and was so hard to find a parking slot around the hotel.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Cheap Motel - Hotel has a night club on the top and first floor with woman surrounding the lobby late at night.
Music was blasting pretty loudly so customer staying on the top few floors would be able to hear it.
I had once came back to my room and found the door left ajar for god knows how long during the day...
- Rejimon (6/5): Nice stay - It was nice experience to stay over night
- Verified traveler (6/5): Fair - It was an OK stay, the internet is not good, you have to keep signin in and change passwords
- Binu (6/5): - It was a nice time
- S S. (8/5): Business travel - Good value for money
Room size is good
staff and service
- tingyoong (10/5): great value and good location - great value and good location for business trip,
Food is excellent.
room is clean and big.
Free internet!!
- Verified traveler (2/5): Last resort hotel in abu dhabi - On arrival, was told that here is no parking, although booked with free parking on website. And, In abu dhabi finding even paid parking is a nightmare as its all resident's parking. Finally parked across the road and paid for it.
Was given a room on the 15 floor, room was renovated for the hotel which is old and sad. There is a night club on the 17 floor and they played loud window rumbling wall shaking music till 3:10 am in the morning. Only took the hotel to sleep, but alas couldn't even do that.
Please don't stay here if you have any other choice.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Ok budget hotell - Bra service från personal, välstädade rum,sisådär frukost men bra läge och bra sängar..
Tyvärr drar förekomsten av stort anta prostituerade på hotellets nattklubb ner betyget.
Högt ljud från nattklubben under natten, t.o.m från ventilationstrumman i toaletten.
- Eri (8/5): one night transit in AD - it was nice
- Essam (10/5): Good service - Very reasonable good hotel
- Verified traveler (4/5): Bruyant, au dessus d'une disctotheque - Impossible de dormir avant la fermeture de la discotheque.
- Ritz (8/5): Nice Hotel - Breakfast wasn't included in our rate - apart from that it was nice stay
- * (8/5): - 객실은 청결함. 겨울에는 난방이 안되어 추움. 인터넷 안내와 달리 주차비는 별도로. 받음.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Where do I start - Well let's start with the free parking as seen on web site and even in the hotel book there is none and nobody seems keen on finding u parking. The front desk was not that interested by saying we keep telling them to change it. Then for some. Unknown reason the access card seems to only work for 24 hours great after u have gone up to your room overall disappointed
- Said (8/5): Nice & in the heart of the city - You can easily move within Abu Dhabi city. Staff are ver cooperative and friendly.
- Said (8/5): Friendly staff - Very cooperative and friendly team in this hotel.
- ニャン (8/5): 十分な空間 - さすがに日本と違い、広々とした空間で快適に過ごせました。
- malcolm (8/5): Howard Johnson November 2013 - Friendly service at front desk. Cellar bar on ground floor provides an excellent band as well as providers that keep you company. The Safari club upstairs is rocking with loud music and fabulous energy. The hotel room was very very cold and I was unable to turn up the temperature. The 3 clubs upstairs is a happening place so the music vibrates the hotel. The parking situation is critical as you will need to find street parking and pay the meter. Also, there is a public garage across the street where you can park for days at a time.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Does it all! - For those looking for a convenient stay, Howard Jhonson is a great place.
- F1 Fan Abu Dhabi (10/5): Freundliche Aufnahme - Das Hotel in Abu Dhabi für den Kurzaufenthalt Freundlicher Empfang Hotel ein bisschen abseits der Strasse (Ruhe) .Tiptoper Service mit dem Gepäck. Sehr gutes Frühstückbuffet . So wünsche ich mir ein Hotel. Wenn ich nochmals nach Abu Dhabi reise nächstes F1 Rennen 2014 werde ich dieses Hotel wieder buchen.
- Howard Johnsen Hotel (6/5): Generelt bra - Hotellbar full av Afrikanske prostituerte - slitsomt
