Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could potentially help you save on your stay in an Abu Dhabi hotel. For those seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised touch and occasionally better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we'll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher end, we may suggest more affordable dates to increase your chances of securing a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre generally tend to be more expensive. However, with Abu Dhabi's superb public transport links, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel situated a bit further out that remains well connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less populated neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative locations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
