Great All Round Hotel
A great hotel. All staff were friendly and helpful. We had access to the Club lounge which was fantastic, excellent service and well made cocktails and a good variety of good always available
Louise, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent service. Thoroughly recommend.
Excellent stay. We almost never stay in the same hotel twice but this was our second short trip. Service is just perfect. Friendly and efficient but equally not overly familiar. Stunning, peaceful lobby. Super bedroom. Despite us arriving six hours before check-in, the team tried extremely hard to get our room ready, which they had done hours ahead of official check-in.

Excellent Property with Splendid Service
It’s a lovely property with INCREDIBLE service. We stayed few nights to celebrate an occasion and were very impressed by the focus on service and hospitality. Special call out to Elena at the reception and Abhitosh at the restaurant who were too nice. There were others too (Salman at entrance, Christopher with the luggage) and we did not find one person who was not warm or helpful. Sitting by the canal side, they had complimentary lollies, water, sunscreen and sunglasses cleaning service! Property itself is very opulent and well kept. Great assortment of restaurants and food options. Lots of open space around the property to take walks. The gym is one of the best gyms I have been to with plenty of space, open views and nice equipment.

Would not bother looking at any other hotel in Abu Dhabi, just book the Ritz - Carlton Grand Canal with club lounge, you won’t regret it!
Peter, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The stay here was incredible. All the staff were extremely accomadating, the facilities were top notch and the breakfast buffet 10/10 (I'd recommend paying extra for it if booking here). A big thank you to the Manager Sara and other employees such as Ousamane and Solafa who made the experience that extra bit special.

2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a wonderful experience at the Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi. I would like to express my gratitude, particularly to the housekeeping team, for their thoughtful and aesthetically pleasing design, which included fresh petals on the bed and a cake for the birthday celebration. Additionally, I would like to acknowledge the exceptional assistance provided by Salman from the concierge team. The hotel was impeccably clean, and the service was prompt and courteous throughout.
M, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Rooms were ever so slightly dated. All staff without exception were polite, helpful, and courteous. Concierge were especially helpful in suggesting dining options outside the hotel
Anil, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stayed in a Radnam Pool Villa. There was a number of issues with loose fittings, a tv that kept turning itself on and A/C that was not great in the master bedroom. I also found that there wasn’t a mirror near a plug in the Master so I couldn’t dry my hair in that room. Bedding was lovely and pool area was great too.
