The hype
Travelers love the massive rooms and the Khalidiya location, but consistently groan about the tired furniture and hit-or-miss housekeeping.
Oryx Hotel
$60-120/ 泊
以下の場合は予約してください You want massive square footage and a rooftop pool in the heart of 'Old Abu Dhabi' without the 5-star price tag.
人々が愛する理由
- Huge rooms (even standard ones are ~38sqm)
- Walking distance to the Corniche and legendary cheap eats
- Rooftop pool with skyline views and a swim-up bar
クイックテイク: It’s a 2007 time capsule that trades modern design for space and location—just don't expect lightning-fast service.
@carmiamore によるレビュー: I stayed here for a business trip and was shocked by how huge the room was. The balcony view and deep bathtub made my evenings so relaxing. Solid choice if you value space over trendy decor.

Reality check
You're paying for the square footage and the neighborhood, not the '4-star' finishings.
- You need a suite for the price of a standard room elsewhere
- You want to walk to local shawarma joints and the beach
- You enjoy a lively rooftop vibe with shisha and drinks
清潔さと保守管理
7.5
- Housekeeping: Daily service is standard, but attention to detail varies. Reviews mention missed dust and slow restocking of towels.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally clean but dated. Watch out for leaky shower seals and older grout lines.
- Maintenance: The building is showing its age (2007). peeling paint and stiff door handles are common complaints.
- Linens & towels: Clean but can feel a bit worn/scratchy compared to newer 5-star properties.
- Odors & scents: Lobby is heavily perfumed; non-smoking rooms generally fine but hallway smoke drift happens.

インサイダー情報

- ✨
The sauna and steam room in the 'Curve Health Club' are often empty and a great free perk.
行く前に知っておくべき5つのこと
💡The 'City View' is mostly other buildings, but the 'Corniche View' (if available) is worth the upgrade.
💡Room service portions are huge but can take 45+ minutes to arrive.
💡The elevators are notoriously slow; factor in an extra 5 minutes if you're on a high floor.
💡Balconies are often locked for safety; you might need to sign a waiver to get it opened.
💡The lobby scent is a strong floral perfume that hits you the moment you walk in.
