"Set the scene for us. The curvaceous exterior of W Abu Dhabi Yas Island, an architectural masterpiece, is the first thing that catches your eye as you approach the hotel. Then, as you drive over the Yas Marina track (where they hold Formula One races) to the entrance, a certain level of excitement kicks in. It's easy to see why this 499-room over-track property attracts thousands of motor sports enthusiasts to the Yas Island precinct every year. Who stays here? Motor sports enthusiasts and travelers hoping to explore the nearby theme parks and entertainment district. The good stuff: Tell us about your room. In keeping with W's signature approach, the rooms here are categorized as Wonderful, Marvelous, Spectacular, and so on, all up to Extreme Wow. All 499 rooms and suites boast comfortable bedding, a pillow menu, and well-appointed bathrooms featuring luxurious rain showers and separate bathtubs. Mood-lighting, centralized speakers, and iPods, and other tech features are all are easy to operate. Anything really make this hotel unique? The hotel offers front-row seats to the action on the track, which hosts the annual Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The slickness of the design is also worth raving about. What do they have to eat here Several restaurants and lounges give the dining landscape some real punch, everything from Indian (Angar) to Italian (Amici) cuisine. Garage, the exciting multifaceted dining experience, boasts five live kitchens that serve a variety of international cuisines. There's also the more casual W Lounge, as well as WET up on the roof. How did you find the staff? The service is dynamic and full of enthusiasm. And anything we missed? Welcome desks are reminiscent of oil drops; additionally, the Whatever/Whenever desks, which resemble canoes, do their bit in referencing Abu Dhabi's waterways. The hotel boasts two outdoor pools along with a dedicated kids' club and nearly 38,000 square feet of event space. The in-house spa is all about style and sophistication; the two-story facility has nine treatment rooms, a hammam, a steam room, a color therapy booth, separate men's and women's zones, and a relaxation zone overlooking the track. The hotel sits within a few minutes' drive of the city's most popular theme parks, as well as the Yas Mall, the UAE's largest shopping center. Bottom line: is it worth it? Definitely. This is a show-shopping choice, particularly if you're a motor-sports enthusiast." - Melinda Healy

We had a fantastic experience at the W Yas Island. Our suite was clean and spacious and we had such lovely service from house keeping each day. The pool was such a relaxing environment and really quiet when I visited however as others have mentioned you do experience noise from the race tracks and planes constantly flying overhead so something to keep in mind. We also heard a lot of noise at night from the near by clubs. The breakfast buffet was nice, but just a hotel breakfast as you’d expect. Valet was pretty efficient and very friendly. I enjoyed staying on Yas Island as it was nice and quiet and would come back to the W in the future.

We had a wonderful New Year’s stay and truly enjoyed the experience. The staff were friendly, accommodating, and always ready to solve any issues with a smile. Their attention to detail and positive energy made a big difference. It’s an ideal destination for a three-day getaway. The only slight inconvenience was the adults-only pool area, as our teenage kids weren’t too keen on using the children’s pool. Overall, a fantastic experience!

My stay was not what I expected for a hotel of this standard. Laundry Service: The laundry service was disappointing. When my clothes were returned, they still smelled unpleasant, as if they hadn’t been properly cleaned or dried. They felt damp and far from fresh, which was frustrating and not up to the quality I would expect. Room Design and Functionality: The room design was unnecessarily complicated. The sheer number of buttons and switches made something as simple as turning the lights on or off confusing. Although labeled, it was overwhelming to figure out what controlled what. On top of that, the overall style of the room didn’t feel inviting or appealing to me—it just didn’t match my taste. Noise Levels: The noise at night was the biggest issue. Loud music and performances went on until late, making it very difficult to get a good night’s sleep. While I understand that the location is lively, this should be better managed to avoid disturbing guests who are trying to rest. Overall, while the hotel has its energy and unique features, these issues—especially the noise and poor laundry service—made my experience less enjoyable.

I recently attended an offsite meeting with my team, and the arrangements were absolutely perfect. The food at Garage in the hotel was exceptional – truly delicious! Although the restaurant was a bit noisy, we chose to sit inside, and it turned out to be a great decision. Renata was incredibly responsive and professional throughout, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Thank you for the excellent service! I’ll definitely be coming back!

Currently staying here on a short break. It really is 5 star hotel with great facilities and above all exceptional customer service. The Wet Deck is a great facility with excellent food and ambience. Special thanks go to Roshan and all the team for providing such brilliant service.

Rooms are very spacious and comfortable and the location is also very convenient being in Yas island. One downside to the hotel is being centered in the Track which woke us up quite early with the sound of formula vehicles passing by on the track. Other than that, everything went smoothly and they even accommodated our last minute request for a twin bed instead of a king.

Hotel in itself is great! We stayed for New Year's Eve - Unique Layout - Rooms with a great view - our's had a view of the F1 Track - Very contemporary art across the whole building - Lovely Adults Only Wet Deck Service - not so much: Check-in lady seemed very disengaged, not very helpful and seemed to be just going through the motions. It wasn't pleasant nor expected of a Marriott establishment.

This W Hotel has a pulse and intensity unlike others in the world. You can feel it when you step out of your car and before you enter the hotel. Everyone from the staff (bellmen and Valets) to the people who stay have an energetic step. There is so much activity and options that it sometimes is difficult to decide. Restaurants? You have four choices. Shisha and pool side lounging? Easy as the 9th floor has both. Viewing racing? No better hotel in the world! From your room or balcony to the restaurant outside it’s wonderful viewing. The rooms are updated and chic. The staff is attentive. And the vibe is high octane!
