W Abu Dhabi - Yas Island Reviews

A great hotel in a great location. Staff were all fantastic, breakfast great too.

This hotel is located right next to the F1 track in Abu Dhabi, and the building itself is very striking. The rooms directly face the track, so even without a race, you can still soak up some of the atmosphere. The bathtub wasn't working very well, which was the only downside.

The hotel's biggest advantage is its location right on the Yas Marina Circuit. However, our room was on the second floor, and the large balcony obstructed the view of the track. If you want a good view of the circuit from your room, it's best to request a room on the third floor or higher. Check-in was very quick. During the Chinese New Year, there were many Chinese guests, and we even received special chocolate gifts. There are also many Indian guests at the hotel, and the breakfast offers a dedicated Indian section. Of course, there's Chinese food too, though not a huge variety. They had spring rolls, stir-fried rice noodles with Laoganma chili crisp and pickled mustard, and steamed fish which was decent. The pan-fried dumplings were the most popular; a fresh plate would be half-gone by the time I looked away. You can order eggs made to your liking; I had Eggs Benedict two days in a row. Breakfast gets very crowded, but you get a great view of a large section of the racetrack, which is fantastic. The shuttle service to the theme parks is very convenient and available at all times. However, to get to the actual racetrack, you'll need a taxi, which was reasonably priced at 12 dirhams.

Was upgraded to a premium trackside room, big thanks to the friendly front desk staff for their help! The breakfast spread was amazing and the service was excellent. The Garage restaurant has a fantastic view directly overlooking the race track, which was a huge plus!

Great hotel as seen in many movies, comfortable stay near the airport, convenient location with nice view of the marina and the F1 track.

I ordered room service. The next day, I called twice for them to pick up the trolley, but no one came. In the end, I had to order another dessert just so they would come and take it away.

This W Hotel perfectly embodies the W brand's signature design, completely meeting expectations. I've noted a few points below that might be helpful for travelers visiting from China: 1. The hotel is located directly on the Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix racetrack. For any F1 fan, this is absolutely perfect. 2. There are many races scheduled on this track. We even saw a car race on the day we checked in. While it wasn't F1, it was still a feast for any racing enthusiast. 3. The hotel's breakfast was good, though quite crowded. We even got to watch a car race during breakfast, as the dining area is right next to the track. 4. The hotel is very conveniently located close to Abu Dhabi's attractions, with Ferrari World, the Aquarium, Warner Bros. World, and more right nearby.

This hotel is truly unique, right on the F1 circuit in Abu Dhabi. We happened to be there during the Middle East Formula Championship, which my son absolutely loved! The hotel service is excellent, and the cleanliness is top-notch. I forgot my travel adapter, but the front desk was able to lend me one. The breakfast spread was also incredibly generous.

Our stay at the W Abu Dhabi - Yas Island was, overall, top-notch and truly a benchmark for trendy luxury hotels. Being here during the F1 season really highlighted the hotel's advantages – our room overlooked the Yas Marina Circuit, so we could clearly see the cars doing test laps without even needing to go to the grandstands. The subtle roar of the engines created an incredibly intense race atmosphere, which was a huge thrill for any motorsports fan. What was surprisingly good was the soundproofing. Once the windows were closed, you could barely hear the outside roar, and the room remained quiet, perfect for a restful sleep. The half-board package we booked, which included dinner, was also quite good. There was a wide selection of dishes, catering to both international tastes and local specialties, and the service was attentive, prompt, and naturally friendly. The hotel's environment maintained its usual high standards, boasting a very stylish design. The themed decorations during the holidays were well thought out; the Halloween-specific decor added a playful touch to the common areas without feeling forced. The location is also very convenient. All in all, it was a comfortable stay that met all our expectations.

The W Hotel on Yas Island truly has 'uniqueness' embedded in its DNA! As the only hotel in the world built directly on an F1 racetrack, opening your door to the roar of engines and stunning marina views is a dream come true for any motorsport fan 🥳 The rooms feature W's signature trendy and cool style. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer either panoramic racetrack views or a picturesque yacht marina. The mood lighting and spacious wet-area bathrooms are packed with exquisite details. Free WiFi is available throughout, the mini-bar is well-stocked, and the super soft bedding ensures a fantastic sleep. The rooftop pool is a must-experience! The adult-exclusive Wet Deck offers stunning sunset views, with cocktails and a DJ setting an incredible atmosphere. There's also free access to Yas Beach, where you can find sun loungers and water sports all in one place. The hotel's free shuttle takes you directly to Ferrari World and Warner Bros. World, and Yas Mall is within walking distance, making it super convenient for theme park visits. Dining was also a hit. Garage restaurant's international food market concept was amazing, and the breakfast had a rich variety, including local specialties. Service was impeccable throughout; the cleaning staff were meticulous and thoughtful, and the concierge was incredibly responsive and professional, answering all questions. The only minor drawbacks were some noise on race days and the occasional closure of certain restaurants for renovations, limiting options slightly. However, overall, whether you're a couple on vacation or a family with kids, you'll find plenty to enjoy. For anyone visiting Abu Dhabi, this place is a no-brainer – just book it!

We had a very enjoyable stay. Upgrade the room for better track view and got the room at 9am. The breakfast is superb. The location is so convenient and close to all the attractions. Highly recommended.

True to the W Yas Island name, our room overlooked the marina, and the F1 track was right downstairs. Getting here from the airport was super convenient, just a 10-minute taxi ride. Even late at night, the front desk staff were on hand for a quick and smooth check-in. Breakfast was great; definitely order the fried eggs and the delicious omelet!

The rooms are modern and stylish the only cons bathroom was small and felt cramped. About a 15 minute drive to Yas Mall and Seaworld, Warner Bros.

Top tier hotel, great amenities, service and breakfast options are all well worth trying.
