The place is ran down... The only good things are the amazing and helpful staff (they really try to make the stay as good as possible) and food.
Other than that the place is crying for renovation.

We stayed a couple of nights here on full board basis. We arrive duting lunch time but no buffet!! They sent us to a pub they have on site and told us to ordet from the menu, went to the pub and we were refused(as we had 3 kids) and sent back to the reception. Then they sent us to the main restaurant and gave us a set menu to order from, the order took 1 HOUR 45MINS to arrive, we left most of the food as we were not hungry anymore. The dinner option was minimal. I understand the situation in the middle east is not ideal right now but why would would sell a product that you can't deliver??? The breakfast was much better and we actually enjoyed. The location of the hotel is really good, pool area was ok, nothing special. The rooms are very small and old but they were clean. Staff were polite but service wasn't good enough. This is a 3 stars hotel at best.

The balcony room was a nice bonus.
The pool and beach area were a highlight, so relaxing. It's probably worth noting the pool has no shade from the sun. (The children's pool does)

We had club rooms, and the lounge has some room for improvement, the lounge is compact for the number of guests and the staff barely aknowledged us (apart from one nice young man - who's name I wish I'd noted).
They were however open great hours and everything tasted nice, although it wasn't replenished well or quickly.

I would stay here again. Hotel is in a great location with lots around it.

The hotel is a little dated especially rooms and passage ways to rooms. But communal areas are great.

Biggest highlight is the staff. They are amazing - every single one of them. Can’t do more for you.

Food choices are fantastic. We stayed on a B&B basis. Breakfast was outstanding - everything on offer and a highlight was the smoothy station.

There are restaurants on site. A Lebanese, a British pub and an Italian (though the Italian wasn’t open for the duration of our stay). They also have a fantastic steak place called the 49ers. We ate in all except the Italian and the food was delicious.

The staff at the room from waiters to lifeguards are so special. They can’t do more for you.

We loved our stay there. You can walk to two malls, a supermarket is across the road and it is a great location to get to Corniche, Yas Island, Saadiyat Island. Only 20-25 mins from the airport. Easy to get anywhere but with a cab which are cheap.

We stayed here before the refurbishment (pre COVID) and we were keen to see how the hotel might have changed. What was the same was the excellent friendly service and staff for whom nothing was too much trouble. Likewise the room was clean and well equipped. The pool area has changed a lot and we missed the old water cannon and the thermal aqua therapy spa, but the pool staff were extremely good, in particular Sandeep who helped us settle into our loungers ever morning. It's still a lovely place to stay in Abu Dhabi and offers exceptional value for the price.

This was my first time staying here, am a frequent solo traveler.
The place has a lot of heritage attached to it being one of the first chain hotels that opened in Abu Dhabi. Queen Elizabeth stayed here as well as a big list of historical famous figures.
You can consider it kind of a boutique hotel.
Check in was quick and smooth. I did request another room though as the room I was given had a view of an AC chiller on the roof and nothing else. Since am staying for 6 nights I couldn’t accept that and they changed my room but I had to wait for around 30 minutes New room has an amazing view of the pool and was very nice.
The hotel building is generally old, so when it rained, the rain was leaking through the window and made the room carpet wet. I informed the front desk about it to see if they can do something to help dry it but unfortunately they didn’t do anything about it and by the day I was checking out the carpet was already smelly. The AC as well got very uncomfortable with high levels of humidity in the room after the rain , again asked the front desk to check it as I was leaving for the day. Not sure if they actually did something about it or not but it didn’t get any better.

Beds are comfortable but some of the bedsheets are aged and you can see parts where they worn out a bit.
Pool and beach facilities are amazing and the staff were the best part of the experience

One of the oldest hotels in Abu Dhabi. Our lovely Queen of kindly was there at its opening. Hotel staff is friendly but you would come across some weird staff members who said oh! You can’t take your drinks which you bought in the hotel to the hotel’s beach. They would force you to buy the same drink! I was like I paid for for my ginger ale in the hotel, and I can’t sit in the sun with this drink ? It wasn’t even alcohol. They don’t appreciate that it’s a 5 star hotel and you can’t talk to people like this!

Bathrooms needs an upgrade, if you shower, there’s guarantee to have water out of the tub. No shower curtains and the glass partition is too small!

Noisy, overbook, old and not value-for-money

We stayed in 201 and had to move because of a very noise family until late in the evening. Other guests also complained about. Room 201 also had an issue with the air condition as it was not cooling well and made noise as well. We then got room 525 and had neighbours who partied until 2am. So we did not get proper sleep the two nights we stayed in the hotel. In addition we had to wait for our breakfast each morning, we had to ask for an extra bed 6 times before it was delivered etc. The hotel seems old and was clearly overbooked, and overbooked is a big issue when you also only have one elevator working, which is also used by your staff. All-in-all a bad experience and we honestly want a refund as it is not reasonable to pay for such a bad experience.

Pleasant enough...

Please note that this review is for Radisson Blu, Abu Dhabi where my booking was transferred. All staff in the restaurant and Executive lounge were very professional and helpful. Special thanks to Christian and restaurant managers. The food was amazing, plentiful and varied. Even when breakfast service was extremely busy, the service was very effective and food remained hot. The beach and pool area were beautiful and well-maintained. It was lovely to see Grant, a lifeguard from Le Meridien working poolside. Pool and beach are accessed by subway just outside the hotel. The number of steps could cause problems for those with disabilities. I visited Hemingway's bar at the back of the hotel. It was nice to sit in the beer garden, even late at night. Again, service and atmosphere were very pleasant. The only downside about my 3 night stay was the attitude of several of the staff on front desk. They tended to be unhelpful and argumentative; not just with myself but at least one of guest over my stay. I had booked an executive room at Le Meridien, but I was clearly in one of their premium rooms. It was nice enough, but clearly did not match pictures from Radisson Blu's website.

They should have told me up front

A week before my paid in advance trip I was notified there were major renovations........so the pool and the beach were closed, and the terrace cafes............I was offered nothing for this.............except a shuttle to a swimming place 3 miles away........tied to a shuttle schedule. I asked for my breakfasts to be free.........which should have been offered. It felt kind of sneaky........also.........there was early morning construction noise............not cool........and my room carpet had a big stain on it........felt dirty.............
