Wonder Balcony Room - Heart of Abu Dhabi, hotel in Abu Dhabi

Offering free WiFi throughout the property, Wonder Balcony Room - Heart of Abu Dhabi is located in Abu Dhabi, 1.4 miles from Al Sahil Beach and 1.8 miles from Corniche Beach.

Zero. I don’t have a comfortable stay at all. It’s the worst room I ever stay in Abu Dhabi. The service is zero and has only 1 staff. The bedsheet, pillow cases, blanket and the pillow itself are filthy and they did not change it at all. I book this room because in the booking.com it is nearby to my conference but to my service the location where they sent me is very far. The pictures is very untrue to the actual. The room is very small and do not have any toiletries. Imagine even there is no tissue in the bathroom!

    everything is fine. the hostel is clean in a new house. I paid in cash. Thank you for your hospitality. It's better to take an Uber from the airport, it's cheaper.

    Cheap price close to the bus station. Shared kitchen. Unlike other hostels here you have your own room but with a shared ceiling. Surprisingly my room was quiet and the other guests were respectful and didn't make noise.

    Everything was good right from the location, to cleanliness, facilities, good staff behaviour. It’s located just 5 mins walking distance from Al Wahada bus terminal which is the most important bus terminal in Abu Dhabi. From there you get bus for everywhere including Dubai. The hostel has kitchen where you can cook. Lots of cheap restaurants nearby also.

    The worst staff the I never found in 15 years of travels, the famale manager in front of the dormitory talk loudly about of my cheapest choice of room, I just requested if a lower bed was available and the answer was: “You pay the cheapest choice on booking you deserve the upper bed” I NEVER HEARD SOMETHING LIKE THAT, AND THERE ISN’T IN THE STATEMENT OF BOOKING, otherwise upper bed was totally unsafe cause there aren’t barriers (look the photos)
