7.8/10

Our stay at the hotel was truly wonderful. The rooms, although for smokers, exceeded our expectations in terms of cleanliness but were a bit noisy. The hotel's location near the park and downtown was just perfect with plenty of facilities nearby, but the dining options could have been better.

I stayed at the Grand Continental Flamingo for three days. The hotel is neat, clean, and adequately spacious. The morning view was delightful. The location is very convenient, near shops and not too busy, making it a perfect spot in the center of Hamdan Street.

The room I booked and confirmed was neat, clean, and big enough for a comfortable stay. The morning view added to the pleasant experience.

Although the staff seemed a bit disinterested during check-in and redirected me for car parking, the overall service was acceptable for all my needs during the stay.

Location

The hotel's location is excellent, close to shops but in a quieter area, providing a good room layout for the value of money. The vital facilities are easily accessible within the city.

Dining

The dining experience wasn't as good as I expected, and the fact that it wasn't complimentary was a disappointment. However, the option to dine at an adjacent hotel was acceptable, featuring local focaccia bread.

6.6/10

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was excellent, situated in downtown Abu Dhabi with friendly people around. However, there were some letdowns like the late room readiness at 3 pm check-in and the disappointing dining experience with limited options. Despite these, the service from JOY, Rayan, and Abhinand was exceptional, making the overall experience more pleasant.

Rooms

6.0

Upon checking in at 3 pm, I found my room not ready, and there was trash outside. The room itself was small and could use improvement, especially in the buffet area.

Service

7.0

The receptionist and security guard were rude and unhelpful, setting a cold tone for tired travelers. However, once inside the room, the service from JOY, Rayan, and Abhinand was really nice and accommodating.

Location

8.0

The hotel tried to help as much as possible, and its location in downtown Abu Dhabi is quite good for business travelers. It is on a main street, close to everything, and the amenities around are well maintained and the locals are friendly.

Dining

5.0

The dining experience was below expectations with no ham, honey, or fries for the first two days. The buffet was basic and regrettable, especially considering the price paid. However, a homemade soup saved the day.

The hotel facilities could be improved to enhance the overall guest experience and value for money offered.
