Exceeded expectations ”
Visited AD many times and experienced many of the 5 star hotels. On this occasion we chose to start our holiday in the Southern Sun based on the consistently high reviews. We were not disappointed. This hotel is exceptional value, providing outstanding service and offers excellent facilities. 5 nights stay really wasn’t long enough, we were reluctant to leave. We moved to another hotel (5 star) and 3 times more expensive. We wished we stayed. The location is ideal, central to everywhere of interest. The rooms are spacious and offers everything you need. The bathroom is open but the glass is frosted and the toilet totally private. The bed is large and nice and comfy. TV has loads of channels catering for most tastes. Pool area is rooftop and a decent size. Pool service is great and good value with a good selection of food and drinks from the bar. Daily promotions are available which provide quality food at a very reasonable price. Breakfasts are outstanding. Excellent value.

Pleasant stay in Abu Dhabi”
This a nice hotel with good service. I liked the interior design and breakfast. It was really good with a lot of stuff to choose from. Room was clean and comfortable for a short stay. The only problem is a smell of cigarette smoke in hotel corridors and some rooms. It's not very strong but still iIt makes this nice hotel smell bad. We asked to change the first room because of the smell. The hotel should smell sophisticated so you want to come back.

easy access, Family recommendation”
Its an easy access due to the nearby bus stop where you can just ride 42 or x4, family or married couple recommended due to their bathroom style which is romantic, the only downside was the view of the hotel and the bathroom needs like toothbrush, soap, shampoo was not available when we went there, pool was small but best recommended to swim in the afternoon than at night coz people tend to flock if the sun is out. restaurant prices is not for on the budget guests. overall i give it a 4.5 star out of 5. i just loved the bathroom style though. its quite unique in all the hotels we were in.

Elegant and modern hotel. ”
We loved our stay in this hotel. We booked it at a lower rate, so we tried also the discounted rate for breakfast. We enjoy the rooftop pool temp controlled which is good esp this winter. Restaurant food was good although limited range. Ambience was classy. Room was so spacious and was designed well. We will surely book again.

A very enjoyable stay, even with the COVID restrictions. Great location, very central. The room was on the 15th floor, no noise from the street below. Very strict respect of COVID measures, temperature check at the entrance, hand sanitizer everywhere. Kind and professional attitude at the reception. We’ll surely book this hotel again next time

Amazing place for reasonable price”
Amazing hotel. Welcoming and nice staff. B athrooms are transparent including shower boxes and bathtubs. Very clean and tidy, nice decorations at the reception. One side of the hotel has a full sea view while the other 2 sides can see the sea partially. Great facilities (gym, sauna, steam and swimming pool) The breakfast is indescribable, large variety and so tasty. The coffee there is one of the best I've ever tasted. The only cons I found is the need to repair shower box sealing for all rooms in the hetel I guess as water leaks outside. This is my 3rd staying in the hotel with the same problem

Best place to stay if you want a affordable place with access to all major sites in abu dhabi”
Located in the heart of the tourist district, you can never ask for a place like Southen Sun AUH.. The rooms are modern and clean. The staff has been really helpful and kind specially Rahuman (housekeeping) and Nuwan (belldesk i beleive).. Who were kind enough always look after me and my fiancé 's needs.b 9/10 from me.. (the 1 is lost due to the delay in item Delivery everything else was perfect ) Note to travlers - They dont lend bottle openers, better bring your own bottle opener if you dont wanna wait 30 mins to open your cold beer or wine bottle.

Simply value for money”
This is the third time we have stayed here. Last December, February and March. After our first stay there was no doubt as to our return if required. On returning to Abu Dhabi twice since, on both occasions the automatic hotel choice was The Southern Sun. Great value for money, in a competitive market. Large spotlessly clean rooms, great breakfast. Good selection of food available in restaurant, bars and room. Rooftop pool with sunbathing area and bar. There is also a good gym, sauna and steam room. Free underground parking on 4 levels. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Amazing, can't fault this place”
This was my first visit to Abu Dhabi and I was a little nervous as I was travelling alone. However I felt at complete ease as soon as I arrived. Abu Dhabi is a really safe place for female lone travellers, I would highly recommend to anyone considering travelling alone. staff at the hotel were very professional and I was able to check in early and given a quiet beach view room, perfect! The hotel is modern and immaculately clean, my room was really spacious and was cleaned on a daily basis and anything I asked for was provided without difficulty. I asked for a prayer mat and Quran and this was dropped off for me straight away...amazing! I loved breakfast time, the restaurant was modern and there was a nice variety of fresh food. The set up of the restaurant allows for a peaceful and private breakfast time despite other diners being present. The waiters and restaurant staff were amazing and everything was catered for, no waiting around to get tea and coffee which tends to happen in a lot of restaurants. Good gym facilities and I loved the fact that there was a separate Sauna and Steam room for men and women, I used them regularly! unfortunately the steam room stopped working part way through my weeks stay. The staff were very helpful and called the engineers but unfortunately it was fixed before I left. The staff at the hotel were really helpful and gave lots of advice about places to visit and travel options. I also booked my desert safari through the hotel which made the whole experience feel a lot more safer for me. The location is good and just a short taxi ride from a lot of the main places to visit. Taxi's have a meter and are really safe. All in all an amazing hotel with professional staff!

Nice and clean hotel, the location is near the cornich. I have only one problem which was the shower door, the water will go out. Eventhough the hotel changed my room, the same problem happened. Anyhow, overall I recommend this hotel.

Excellent and clean rooms.”
The room size was great. My only tiny gripe was that I was given a smoking room when I had specifically requested a non smoking room. My request for a room change was dealt with quickly and courteously. I was given a large non smoking room within a few minutes of my request. There is plenty of underground parking - which if you drive is essential in this part of Abu Dhabi. Overrall a very good hotel for business travelers.

Hidden gem”
This hotel is, by far, my favorite hotel in Abu Dhabi so far, and I find it to be reasonably priced. It has a HUGE reception area where people actually lounge and visit. Nice rooftop pool. Rooms are amazingly clean. I prefer the Executive King over the One bedroom suite because the suite feels a little cramped with furnishings. Staff is always courteous and helpful. I look forward to staying again and again in the future.
