Management response from RayWei

Wow!!! Great comments, it seems everything was outstanding during your stay at Aloft. Thank you so much Tatiana for posting this brief but wonderful review. By reading it I am sure we will see you back soon. The whole team looks forward to welcoming you back! Best wishes, Rainer

Unforgettable stay, excellent staff! Great swimmingpool!
I was a long term guest in Aloft Abu Dhabi. Aloft offers decent, clean and comfortable (spacious) rooms and very good dinner facilities especially the buffet with plenty of healthy options and daily variation. The swimmingpool is a true treat in the weekend, with comfortable beds and a nice restaurant. The staff has made the stay unforgettable, cheerful and always supportive. It completed our amazing Abu Dhabi experience! Caroline Mol
Pleasant people, great service
I stayed in Aloft for 4 months while on business in Abu Dhabi. xThe hotel offers pleasant rooms, a spectacular swimming pool / lounge area and great bars and restaurants. The recently opened rooftop club annex restaurant offers stunning views and will no doubt become a clubbing hotspot in AD! But besides the excellent facilities it's the hotel staff that really makes the difference! Always friendly and helpful, great service! We really felt home away from home. Next time around, I am looking forward to check in again at Aloft! - Erwin Koster
Aloft...Almost Perfect!
With many hotel options to choose from, I decided to book the Aloft Abu Dhabi, in part because I had read good things about this new concept brand by Starwood, but primarily because of its free internet access. My expectations were exceeded, with super-comfy beds with high-grade Egyptian cotton linens; ultra-modern yet functional furnishings and bathroom fittings; extra feather pillows; soothing colors and perfectly opaque black-out blinds that let you sleep in! The bonus: FREE water and mini fridge! Yes, no nickel-and-dime added... more
construction site, maybe will be a good hotel in six months
This is a construction site masquerading as a hotel. They may get their act together in a few months but this is not up to international standards. The management may be trying hard but they have too much on their plate...new employees, contractors, etc. My blackberry for some reason did not work while i was at this particular hotel although it worked in all of abu dhabi. The internet service was painfully slow. guests joked about it at business center. Food was good, but service was still being learned. English is not... more
A very comfortable and connected business hotel
Top notch rooms with big, hard mattresses. Massive screen, around 42 inches, including usb, HDMI and VGA input. Many channels, but most of the international ones are available depending on the Sheikh's mood. Food is average. Decoration a bit wild, no real charm. Location is perfect if you plan to attend an event at ADNEC as it is built on top of it. To visit "downtown" Abu Dhabi, expect a 20min taxi ride. Very nice roof swimming pool.
Not my cup of coffee
I stayed at the Aloft Hotel, Abu Dhabi for one night with a friend, checking in on 27-Nov-2009 and checking out the next day. Apologies for the long post. I wrote down my experiences and sent them to the hotel directly as well. BEFOREHAND – BOOKING REMINDER EMAIL I received an email a few days before our stay. It was entitled ‘All about your aloft adventure’ and then proceeded: ‘Aloha! Are you ready to a go-go? Your Aloft adventure is coming up, and we can’t wait to amuse you with an amazing, one-of-a-kind experience.’... more
Easy Breezy stay at the ALOFT
Stayed at the ALOFT a couple of weeks after its opening, and because of its location next to ADNEC. I really enjoyed the fresh feel and attitude of all the staff. The hotel was not completely ready yet and indeed some works were taking place in most areas of the hotel. The rooms are nice and airy and offer the right amount and style of facilities for the money. I was disappointed that the Media hub would not work with my iPod Touch and the hot water took quite a while to come out. But apart from that, it was all good. Restaurant and Bar... more
Management response from RayWei

We firstly want to thank you for your kind comments and for choosing Aloft for your recent stay in Abu Dhabi. We are delighted to read that you enjoyed your aloft room and other facilities such as the restaurant, the bar, our breakfast buffet and of course our exclusive free wi-fi service covering the whole hotel building. Evidently these features would not mean anything without the fresh and caring attitude you mention about our staff. We have forwarded your congratulations to both Jonathan and Josef who were very pleased to read your note. We do regret that the hot water took longer than expected to reach your wished temperature. Our maintenance engineers worked firmly the last weeks to get the newly installed boiler system regulated eliminating delays on the hot water supply. With regards to the media hub, this will be able to play your iPod songs however only through RCA and HDMI connection or wireless by pairing it to the Bluetooth option. We are sorry that the connection was not successful with your device. We can assist your and try a different connection next time. Please let us know when you are visiting us again as we will be glad and proud to show the completion of our hotel with the new features such as the Mai Café at the pool and or our Relax@12 bar lounge and its stunning views at our rooftop. I personally look forward to welcoming you back!

Nice Try but a Miss on Service
Although this hotel is brand new and recently opened in late October, it has some significant issues, particularly with service. The hotel is still under some construction even though it has opened. It is located at the Abu Dhabi Exhibition Center which is a great complex. The main problem with the service issues are that te staff, on several occasions, were not LISTENING to the guests' requests. Some examples: on several occasions, when requesting a regular metered taxi, they requested the very expensive house cars instead for 2 or 3... more

Thank you for using Tripadvisor and taking the time to express the observations of your stay at Aloft Abu Dhabi. We have read your review and shared with the concerned talent members. As a matter of fact, also thanks to your comments to the management during your stay. Please trust we are very open for feedback and have taken your comments very serious. I would like to share with you what has been done to improve ourselves: A special awareness activity inviting all taxi companies for lunch to the hotel has been carried out. This and the fact that we will initiate an agreement to have metered cabs as an alternative to our limousine service will ensure that every guest has the choice of transportation. We have addressed the matter with the service in the restaurant with our restaurant and training managers who have taken pertinent action and indeed the repeated service hitches you described should not re-occur. As for the Wi-Fi strength in the rooms, we do regret that not all antennas were available in the corridors on those dates. After activating this, all rooms are now enjoying a full quality free internet service. The hotel’s location is indeed perfect for ADNEC visitors and moreover we are close to numerous embassies and corporate offices, 20 minutes from downtown Abu Dhabi and 15 minutes from Abu Dhabi International Airport. On top of the taxi service improvements we have also decided to implement a daily mini bus shuttle service, making it even easier to reach Abu Dhabi Downtown, the beach, shopping facilities, etc. We do apologize for not reaching your expectations during your last stay and would be delighted to have the chance to welcome you back and demonstrate the improvements made in our performance. Please do not hesitate to contact me directly for this, as I will be most happy to assist you.

The most technological Hotel I have stayed, way to go Middle East!
Hi, I was visiting the exhibition centre and I decided to stay in the on-site hotel in order to avoid the Abu Dhabi Traffic during rush hours. I do not regret my decision, it is true that the hotel is not fully finished; however the finished parts are amazing. I loved the gym and swimming pool area, and I believe those self check-in counters are incredible! I didn’t have to wait at all to check-in, not even 5 minutes and I had my room key automatically! I have always hated waiting in a lobby for hours to be checked-in especially after a... more
Management response from Danispi

Thank you for all your encouraging and positive comments. It is great to know that our guests are using our state of the art technology such as our “Touch n’ go” self check-in and check-out counters. Precisely the whole purpose of this technology is giving our guests the freedom to control and customize their travel adventure to fit their personal style. Regarding the full completion of the hotel, we are constantly updating our web site, informing our guest what areas are still due to open. And trust me, the areas that are soon-to-open will be just as amazing if not better than what you’ve seen now. Once again, we’re glad you enjoyed your stay and we do look forward to welcoming you back soon to Aloft Abu Dhabi. Please do not hesitate to contact me personally then for a relaxing drink in our W xyz bar or why not play a game of billiards?

May be a Nice Place a Year From Now
I travel worlwide every 2 weeks. This hotel has just opened and everyone could not be more polite. The rooms are great. Nice and modern. All of the amenities including LG flat screen tv's. They are only missing some basic things. a) a bedside clock radio b) somewhere to hang your hand towel and c) a soap dish. These are trivial in comparison to the hotels surroundings. I tried to go for a walk and the hotel is surrounded, 360 degrees, by construction. There is simply nowhere to go. The racket of construction in truth does not start in... more
Management response from Danispi

Thank you very much for taking the time to review our hotel! We are so delighted to know that you found our staff polite and to read words such as great and superb to describe the rooms, its amenities, the gym and the pool. We also appreciate your constructive feedback and have taken immediate action on most points: As for the missing items, we have now installed our soap dishes and are receiving our bedside alarm clocks and extra towel hooks to be installed before the end of November. Our Dine Restaurant offers a live buffet with a variety of international dishes, and we are enhancing the a la carte menu this month to offer you a wider choice outside the buffet. In addition to that we will open Mai Café & Restaurant and Relax@12 soon, adding two more dining choices to the hotel. Following up the comments of our location, we are implementing a mini bus shuttle service which will not take more than 20 minutes to be in Abu Dhabi downtown. With regards to our main entrance, the ground floor area actually belongs to the exhibition center hence we are not in total control of the design. We have been however authorized to add our brand features in order to make the arrival experience a much more attractive one. We do sincerely regret that you were disturbed by the noises due to the final phase of our building. Indeed works are being held from 09:00am to 06:00pm and should by no means be carried out during the night. We will definitely pass this on to the building company. Thank you again for taking the time to describe your experience in the hotel and we do hope to welcome you back in the near future in order to show you personally all enhancements described above. Please do not hesitate to contact me personally before your next stay in Abu Dhabi, so we can make your stay a great one.
