I was looking for a pocket friendly Hotel in Abu Dhabi and I found Sands Hotel while I was searching online. The lobby of the hotel is nice, personnel were very helpful and polite. Check-in process was quick and easy. The first night was fine but we changed the room tomorrow noon, because there was no Internet access. The other... More

Good value, excellent food, (in a quiet restaurant that I wasn't expecting much from, but pleasantly surprised!), good service too - only reason for not scoring higher was the "tiredness" of the decor, rooms, lifts, (1 out of operation as it was being upgraded), thus with attention to these physical details it would easily rate 4 stars or possibly more.

You couldn't wish for more helpful staff, the hotel itself is in need of a make over internally, which we were told is about to start. Chose this hotel on price and location as we were visiting a relation who lives nearby. Perfect location as it was easy to get to the malls and corniche. Only downside, with the bar... More

The sands hotel Abu Dhabi is located right in the center of Abu Dhabi which is really nice if you are a tourist or outsider. Other then that its a good hotel but the rooms look quite outdated with a dull type of atmosphere.This hotel recently had an exterior renovation but the truth it it needs an interior renovation more...

The Sands is a great all-round hotel found a few blocks back from the waterfront in downtown Abu Dhabi. My partner and I spent around 4 nights there and was impressed with the hotel facilities and particularly the quality of the service. It appears that the hotel has had some renovations made to it in recent times and has lifted... More

On the face of it, the Sands looks like a nice hotel - Lobby nice and modern with a business like coffe shop. The check in staff friendly and smart and even gave us vouchers for a free drink in the bar and a free coffee at the coffeeshop. However, when we tried to use the free drink voucher, it... More

I had experienced staying at Sands Hotel and the room is nice, spacious and clean. The staff are very reliable and friendly. Filipino staff are very helpful and knowledgeable about their particular job designations and always keep smiling faces that really makes a positive difference. Although SANDS should think of new cool promotions or gimmicks to attract local residents within... More

Excellent customer service from the doorman, to reception, to waiters and even the room attendant. I could have stayed longer if i was not there for business. However, the next time i will visit abu dhabi, i would definitely stay in Sands Hotel. Hope by next time, I could bring someone along to show them how good and comfortable it... More
