The hotel lication is good, plenty of taxi outside so easy to get around if no car. Pool area a bit disappointing, pictures make it seem bigger and gives impression of outdoor bar area which isnt true. Rooms clean and big, staff friendly and helpful.

Spent a long weekend staying at the Southern Sun Hotel for the F1, staff are particularly helpful and approachable. Breakfast is very good, we enjoyed the late rooftop bar relaxing in the cabana's. All in all a very positive stay. Thank you Southern Sun for your hospitality and taking such good care of us all.

Nice clean room - comfy bed - good shower ! One question tho - why do most hotel bathrooms in UAE have glass walls ? I’m sure even married couples like to have some privacy when in the bathroom !

Nice hotel with outdoor pool

Pros: Pool Breakfast Nice room
Location: We found Abu Dhabi difficult to get around without going everywhere by taxi. Not a city to wander around. Not the hotels fault
Enjoyed a two night stay before heading off on a cruise. Room was lovely. Great breakfast. Enjoyed relaxing at outdoor pool. Staff friendly and helpful
