Amazing hotel
Amazing hotel, private beach, great service, we loved the room with a great view of both the Palace of the Emirates and the Qasr al Watan Palace.
Everything was great.

Sadly, the hotel’s quality is getting worse year after year.
Spacious room, friendly staff!
I usually stayed at this hotel about once a year. While I have generally been very satisfied, my experience this time was poor.
• I was assigned a room that felt as if someone had already spent a few hours there and then left. The water coming from the bath was brown, and the carpet had major stains and clearly needs a thorough cleaning.
• The sunbed mats at the beach were completely destroyed - not just one, but all of them - which was shocking to see in a 5-star hotel.
• The hotel urgently needs better Wi-Fi, which really shouldn’t be an issue in Abu Dhabi.

A beautifully designed Moroccan style hotel - a ruby in the dust!
The staff were absolutely lovely and the manager upgraded us to a three bedroom suite with incredible views. The food and wine was good. It wasn't too busy so nice and relaxing!
The air condition in the restaurant meant that the hot food was luke warm which was disappointing. However, the selection was good.

Okay, don’t expect too much.
Well presented and good value for money.
The staff - although they were friendly, they lacked initiative. They were all really slow and no one knew who was doing what. We ordered a taxi from the front desk - when it had arrived no one notified us and we sat there waiting for ages and I went out looking for our driver who was also annoyed as he said he’d been waiting for 10 mins. We asked for our bags and the desk staff were just looking around fiddling on the phones until the driver also had enough and went to the cart and dragged them out himself.

Would definitely have BAQ on our regular staycation list
Breakfast was amazing, room is spacious with amazing view! The pool and beach are also amazing we enjoyed our time and loved staying at the hotel more than actually leaving
The room service cleaning was slow, we stayed for 2 nights, the second day we called the room cleaning since morning and they were very much delayed and only showed up when kids were back from swimming so it was inconvenient and they worked very quickly to get things done, this was the only drawback

Nice luxury hotel but not enjoyable and not good swimming pool
The location was very nice, very clean hotel, luxury nice food, staff was friendly
The swimming pool is small and not deep and veeery cold and not enjoyable at all also beach front of it is small and no waves at all . If you searching for resorts feeling or entertainment or enjoying swimming so for sure NOT this hotet

If our feedback is taken into account, we will gladly come back.
Our towels were changed daily and the room service was always very friendly and attentive.
The evening and breakfast buffets are adequate, but there is little variety. I liked the fresh fruit in the evening and in the morning.
The location and value for money for half board is unbeatable.
This was our second time at Bab.
Compared to 2024, we didn't enjoy it as much.
The carpet in our room hadn't even been vacuumed.
Last year, you could take a 1-liter bottle of water with you after dinner and even a coffee or tea to go after breakfast.
In addition, a separate elevator for staff and aburteile Development should definitely be introduced. The employees only commute between the lobby and the sixth to ninth floors. This is really annoying for normal hotel guests.
Some of the staff responsible for table service and cleanliness are very unfriendly. I would also suggest a little more restraint. No sooner I had taken my last bite than my plate was cleared away. What I didn't understand at all was that one evening I was able to order tea with my meal without any problems, but the next day I had to pay extra for it. In the morning, tea is also free.
Another thing I didn't like about the food was that many people filmed everything with their cell phones, including other guests. Photos of the buffet are fine, but I don't want to be filmed by strangers while I'm eating.
The sun loungers on the beach could do with being replaced and the beach could be raked properly. Some of the beach chairs are broken and covered in bird droppings.
There are small, sharp fruit skewers and bottles lying everywhere.
On the way to the beach, you walk past the hedge that separates the Bab and the Hyatt. There was a regular smell of feces here.
The internet connection was also often very poor.

Incredible hotel with incredible staff! Loved every minute and wished we had stayed longer.
The incredible staff were the best thing about this hotel. They went above and beyond to make us feel like VIP's. On site restaurants are incredible- great food and ambience. My kids and I loved the breakfast which was a feast. Going back in December.

Excellent 5-star business hotel
Excellent hotel with amazing view of Qasr-Al-Watan. Delicious varied breakfast and dinner buffet at the Artisan Kitchen. Every evening there was another theme with appropriate decorartion. All staff was very friendly and helpful. Compliments to the reception and bell personnel and to the female pianist who was present to animate afternoons and evenings in the lobby.
The only thing I did not like is the swimming pool. This is a classy business hotel and the pool area or garden were not made for or welcoming to children. It is nothing to do with the staff, just the way things are made and squeezed. Another thing I did not like is that there was a contest for guests who ate in the restaurants, but we did not qualify because we pre-paid all restaurant visits; I felt that was very disciminatory.

Luxurious, relaxing, clean and welcoming!
It was fancy, clean and very welcoming! The people were all amazing and I felt so safe and looked after. The room was immaculate and beautiful, the food was delicious and the pool and beach areas are amazing! They really value getting to know you as a person and think they had the best customer service of any hotel I’ve stayed at.
Absolutely nothing!

Comfortable stay in lovely hotel with good food and friendly staff
Lovely hotel, in a convenient location.
The family room was a good size, very comfortable and good value for our family of four.
The breakfast and dinner buffets were tasty and there was a good choice of food.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.
The pool area, while nice, was a bit small for the size of the hotel so it was very busy and difficult to get a sun bed, even though it was not peak season.

Komi, was helpful and all the other staff members were really top notch. 👏🏻
I was in a interconnected room with other people and I could hear their every conversation. I would advise that you keep those rooms specifically for families that want to have those kind of rooms during their stay.

A beautiful hotel with wonderful views
The hotel was amazing. I was not aware that I had booked connecting rooms for myself and my two teenage children, so that was a very pleasant surprise. The view from the room was fantastic. We enjoyed the pool and the beach. We ate only at the hotel and the restaurants were very good. The staff were very nice and provided 5 star service. The breakfast was plentiful and we enjoyed it very much. It was the best breakfast that we had while in the UAE. I would book Bab Al Qasr when going to Abu Dhabi again.

Beautiful spotlessly, clean hotel with wonderful views. Recommend!
Clean, beautiful views, spacious room. Complimentary Valet parking was wonderful.
The hotel seemed very unprepared for the large holiday crowd for Eid. Breakfast one day was a complete disaster without enough tables for guests in multiple breakfast locations. Guests were asked to share tables with other family members. We ended up eating on a sofa in the hallway!

Awful experience! Little details that can easily ruin your entire vacation! If you are planning to take your Nanny with
It’s a nice location, the beach and pool are nice, the food is great but the employees are lacking skills.
They have a major problem with the Towels (both in the room and at the pool). They told us multiple times during our stay that they ran out of towels (in the Pool and at the Jacuzzi). The second day, they cleaned the room, took the small towels and didn’t replace them. We were left with 1 big towel each. Same with the coffee and tea… in all the 3 rooms we booked, you get coffee, tea, towels and soap when you check in, nothing after.
Some of their employees are very racist. They denied to give towels to my nanny although I have paid the same price for her room as for us. I’ve sent her 4 times to bring me a towel for myself and my baby and she have been told that “towels are not available”, although I have seen people coming and receiving towels from the small kiosk at the pool entrance.
When I went to get towels by myself, I have been given. Embarrassing to say the least!
Horrible experience all together!

Good hotel for stopover.
We were stopping for a short break to relax after a hectic few weeks travelling, wanted somewhere with a beach and this was perfect. Plenty of sunbeds and shade. The buffet breakfast and dinners were pretty good although the food was never hot. Lots of choice and flavours were great. The staff were polite and friendly. The view from our room was amazing!
We were disappointed with the housekeeping and lack of amenities in the room (premier). In 4 days our room wasn’t cleaned on one day, housekeeping turned up as we were getting ready for dinner and we asked them to give us 30 minutes and then we’d be gone. When we returned to the room at 10:30pm it still hadn’t been done. There were no drinking glasses in the room and although we asked for & got a couple on our first day, they were removed the following day. I don’t think it unreasonable to expect a glass rather than a plastic beaker.
Getting a glass of wine at dinner also proved challenging. We were on a half board basis and the staff seemed to expect us to be “all inclusive” so when I asked for Cabernet Sauvignon I was told they didn’t serve it, only Chardonnay. We assume that when they checked our room number they realised we were paying for our drinks and the Sav was produced. We learned to point out we were paying at the point of ordering.
I know these are all very trivial issues but we expected more from a 5 star hotel.

A perfect and relaxing family vacation with excellent service, amazing food, and a beautiful beach.
I recently stayed at Bab Al Qasr Hotel in Abu Dhabi and had an absolutely wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly, especially towards my 1-year-old baby. They were always ready to help with anything we needed, making us feel truly welcome.
The food at the hotel was amazing, compliments to the chef! Every meal was a delight. My luxury apartment was just perfect, featuring two toilets, an office, a dining room, a fully equipped kitchen, and a spacious living room. Everything was clean, stylish, and extremely comfortable.
The beach is beautiful and ideal for families with small children. There’s also a large grass field where kids can run and play safely. Whenever I needed anything in my room, the staff responded quickly and efficiently.
The cocktails were fantastic, and they also offered a great selection of beers. Check-in and check-out were both very fast and smooth. The lobby is stunning, and it was such a nice touch to have a musician playing the piano every day, it really created a luxurious and relaxing atmosphere.
I highly recommend Bab Al Qasr Hotel and would love to come back again!

Excellent stay - recommended
Excellent service. Good selection of buffet breakfast. Very good service
Nothing in particular to dislike. Just one small point, beach area is small and like other hotels, people put towels on sunbeds early in morning and then don’t sit on all day which is very frustrating. However, I always managed to find a single empty bed.

Not worth it
Extremely disappointing and misleading – not what you’d expect from a 5-star hotel
We booked a Junior Twin Room for two adults and two kids based on the photos and description on Booking.com. The listing was completely misleading. When we entered the room, it was dirty, had a strong unpleasant smell, and the two “twin” beds were closer to single beds—definitely not suitable for four people. How are two adults and two kids supposed to sleep on two single beds?
The condition of the room was unacceptable. The white curtains were so filthy and stained that they looked dark grey and smelled awful. The whole room felt neglected and unclean.
When we went down to reception to complain, they insisted that this is the room we booked—proving how misleading the photos and description are. When we asked to cancel, they tried to charge us an absurd extra amount on top of what we had already paid.
We asked to speak to a supervisor, and after explaining everything, they acknowledged how unreasonable it was to fit four people in that room. They upgraded us to a suite—but it was hardly an upgrade. It just had a slightly bigger bed, and we were still asked to pay extra for an additional bed that was rock hard and impossible to sleep on. In the end, the four of us had to squeeze into one king bed, which was far from comfortable.
For a so-called five-star hotel, the facilities were below expectations. The bathroom shower handle was leaking, and the bathroom door handle was broken—small details that show poor maintenance.
Overall, the experience was frustrating and disappointing. Definitely not worth the money or the five-star label.
