An Acceptable Place for a Short Visit
Pros:
*The staff were very friendly and professional throughout my stay.
*My request for a quieter room was honored.
*The breakfast was nice with a good choice of different types/kinds of food.
Cons:
*The hotel room was very dated and furniture should be replaced.
*My door had some sort of issue, so if it was not closed properly (the doorknob had to be pulled very tightly) it would be left open. This happened during my stay by one of the members of housekeeping.

Little gem of a hotel
Amazing little hotel with very friendly staff. Very close to the corniche and lots of shops and restaurants around. Madinat Zayed Mall is within walking distance ie 2 minutes away. Free parking was available. The breakfast buffet was very good also. I highly recommend this hotel and will be back .

Unreasonable
When i checked in i was told i will be transferres to a smoking room when it became available...didnt happen until i had to ask again. The room where i was billeted had a broekn fridge..i asked for a bucket of ice i was going to be charged. I was offered a glass of ice free, but that was not enough for my needs at that time..if the fridge wasnt broken in the first place, i would not have asked for the bucket...

Perfect central location in abu dhabi for everything.its literally 15mins by taxi from the beach, abu dhabi mall or the Emirates Palace.
This hotel was opposite a shopping centre that had everything a traveller needs. The hotel was modern, clean and had incredible staff. As a family travelling with a baby, Cristal made sure we were not too high up in the hotel, upgraded us to a suite so the baby had space to play.
Our room was spacious, clean invluded a cot for the baby and had the all the general free extras in hotels. Our additional requests were met immediately and so were requests for a late morning housekeeping.
We opted to include the buffet breakfast with our stay and it was awesome. Best decision with a baby. Lots of variety, hot and cold and unlimited.
Chef Jen was incredible. She made omelettes for guests and made them perfectly seasoned for my 2yr son.
Staff members Joy and Elvis were always ready to get our table and baby seat ready when we arrived. Its these little details that made cristal so worth our stay in aby dhabi.
I would go back again. 1st for its hospitality and 2nd for its location .
