    There's lack of mirror in the room despite it being open and large with plenty of empty walls that large mirrors could fit. There's no windows in the room too, though understandable that it's a hotel inside a building, but having awindow overseeing the inside of airport would be nice since it wouldn't feel too closed and suffocating.

    Loved that we didn't have to leave airport or pass trough immigration since it's meant for travellers in transit. Hotel wise it's new so feels very comfortable

    A small inconvenience but the shower floor was not installed with proper fall making the water round around the glass separation and flood most of the bathroom. The doors could have better sound proofing. We were disturbed by noise from other guests at one occasion. Usually not a concern but since the rooms are rented out in six/twelve hour chunks for a quick rest sound proofing is important.

    Excellent staff made the check-in and check-out process brief and efficient. Room was clean ans bed was comfortable. Water pressure and temperature was good in the shower. Everything I was hoping for was present for a quick stay making our 10 hour stay a pleasant boost rather than a slog. Would definitely use again if I was stuck for an extended lay over.

    Price for 12 hours is a little high but your paying for convenience.

    Incredibly small rooms and bathroom showers don’t drain into shower but all over the bathroom/toilet area making everything wet and creating quite a fall/ slip hazard

    Served its purpose for dealing with a long airport stopover, check in was easy and easy to find in terminal

    Shower cubicle was not very clean with hairs on the floor. Carpet was badly stained. Sound proofing not great. We were hoping to get some sleep between flights, however there was a lot of noise from another room most of the night & banging doors which kept us awake.

    Great location inside transit area. Fast check in.

    The hallway was very noisy with staff, other guests and doors being closed. This made it difficult to get a good rest after a 14 hour flight. The reception staff offered a wake up call ahead of our next flight and we accepted, however they did not call. It's lucky I had an alarm set.

    It had everything we needed for a 9 hour layover at Abu Dhabi airport - a comfortable bed to sleep, a toilet with toiletries supplied and a shower. The room was very modern. Staff members Rifayda and Luisa were very welcoming and helpful.

    The boarding pass issue delayed my checkin by 2 hour from 1am to 3am even though the front desk really tried! Also, the cost was 20%+ higher than Booking.com indicated! Good overall, but checkin was a disaster as I could have gone outside and gotten 6 hours of sleep vs. 4 hours, which I really needed!

    The extra effort by the staff to help with a major issue on a boarding pass

    I think that the price was a bit high for the room for just a 12 hour booking. There were hotel options outside of the airport where you can get a full day’s stay for much cheaper.

    Overall a very comfortable stay and friendly staff!

    The bathroom shower doesn't have a door, hence you can't take a shower without the entire bathroom getting completely wet. Quite difficult to use after that. The room also didn't have a mirror except for in the bathroom.

    Conveniently located inside the transit area. really nice and efficient staff. Decent amenities and space.

    Short Stay @ Abu Dhabi

    $220AUD for just a bed, a TV that isn't connected online and no windows (and thus no fresh air) for a maximum of 12 hours was difficult to stomach - was expecting half the price.

    Ideally located within Zayed International, this is perfect for those uncomfortable lay overs that don't warrant leaving the terminal. Mine was a 15hr wait, and even with lounge access, doing this without a bed to rest up in would've been a challenge.

    Hard to find The shower has no curtain and the water spills everywhere. Only a couple of electricity sockets. Expensive considering you can only stay for 12 hours.

    The convenience, it's inside the airport, in the area where the gates are so, no need to pass security again. You can check in at any time. I would stay again here
