This was a cheap option close to the center of Abu Dhabi with on site parking. That's why we choose it. The hotel is actually part of the Meridien hotel. They share the reception and the parking. So you actually check in at the Meridien and then walk towards the seperate building on the left. The room was absolutely tiny.... More

Rooms are small, but they managed to fit in a double bed, a little section for a kitchen which has a 2 ring cooker. Toilet/shower. Rooms were clean. Housekeeping staff are... More

...Part of Le Meridien which was fab as could use all of their amenities in particular their gym...best hotel gym I've ever come across. The beach is great if you don't want to travel to one of the public beaches too. Agree, it is hard to find but you check in at Le Meridien so you just need to ask... More

While I didn't get to see much of the attractions Abu Dhabi has to offer, this hotel is nice and close to the city terminal for the airport and next door to the Abu Dhabi mall. It did take close to an hour by bus from the airport, but this is a very cheap way to travel, so I would... More

My room was just 2 minuts walk from le Merdien, it was a single room whit a Double bed, the room was not huge... very small bathroom but it was ok. Excellent Wi -fi... More

I spent one night in Abu Dhabi at La Residence with location and cost being primary drivers. La Residence is basically at the same location as the Le Meridien hotel and is located close to Beach Rotana hotel and Abu Dhabi mall, which makes it a convenient option if you have business there. The cost of the hotel room was... More

Staying at La Residence for three weeks on a business trip. The hotels location is fine located within 5 minutes walk of Abu Dhabi Mall. The building and it's rooms are very tired and dated and did I mention very small. The whole building would greatly benefit from total internal and external refurbishment. Service for the rooms is very good... More

The real bonus of La Residence is that you get the facilities of Le Meridien without having to pay Le Meridien rack rate. The rooms are small, overlook the private beach and a stretch of water, but are rather dated. However, the aircon works well, which is essential in Abu Dhabi. With a choice of pool of beach, the possibility... More
