A good hotel for your money.
Positive:
1. Very convenient location: within walking distance of the beach, many good shops and restaurants.
2. Pleasant staff, unobtrusive and friendly.
3. Awesome gym on the 18th floor, lots of exercise equipment, everything is working properly. A cute coach who is always willing and ready to help you)) and you can also run on the track with a cool view of the sunset and skyscrapers!
4. The room was very large, like a full-fledged 1-room apartment with everything you need.
5. Cleaning is complete and daily, at a convenient time (and not like in some hotels at 8.00))
Minuses:
1. We were given a smoking room on the 2nd floor for smokers, but they refused to change it because there were no available rooms. The smell is not critical, after 2 days it disappeared completely.
2. Our room (221) was directly above the nightclub. Therefore, loud music (or rather, direct tapping with vibration) was on schedule every day from 00.30 to 5 a.m. Our relative lived in the next room 223, she could no longer hear it.
3. A bad faucet in the shower, either you wash with boiling water, or cold water, or warm, but only 2 minutes))
4. The windows didn't open, it was a significant disadvantage for us, I love the fresh air.
An excellent choice for a comfortable stay, but there are nuances.
We stayed at the Sheraton Khalidiya Hotel for a week and were satisfied overall, although some moments could have been better.
✔️ What you liked:
1. Location – the hotel is located in the prestigious Al Khalidiya district, next to the Corniche embankment (10 minutes on foot), to Louvre Abu Dhabi and Emirates Palace - 15 minutes by taxi.
2. The rooms are spacious, with comfortable Sheraton Signature Sleep beds, and a good view (part of the sea, part of the city). The air conditioning is silent, there is a coffee machine and a mini-bar.
3. Breakfast is a rich buffet with European and Arabic dishes, fresh juices and excellent pastries.
4. The pool is clean, with a relaxation area and a bar (cocktails are on fire!).
What upset you:
1. There is no private beach, only access to the public Corniche Beach (but this is compensated by the pool).
2. Wi-Fi – it works fine in the rooms, but sometimes it "lags" in the lobby.
3. Prices in restaurants are high even by the standards of the UAE (it's easier to go to a cafe nearby).
Tips:
Get a room with a sea view – the price difference is small, but the views are worth it.
If you want silence, ask for a room not above the nightclub (sometimes there is music until 23:00).
The best time to go to the pool is in the morning before 11:00 (then there are a lot of people).
📌 Summary:
The Sheraton Khalidiya Hotel is a good option for those who want comfort and a convenient location without overpaying for a suite. 4 stars for cleanliness, service and breakfasts, but there were not enough small details for the "top five".
For whom: for couples and families with children who plan city tours rather than a "lazy" beach vacation.
A good hotel, the reviews were mixed, but we did not see any critical disadvantages. The room was spacious, clean, and had a view of the city. The beach is a 10-minute walk away, there are many shops and cafes nearby. Breakfasts are also normal, quite varied. They didn't clean every day, though, and they couldn't get through to the laundry for 2 days. Otherwise, it's OK. The room was requested for non-smokers when booking, as the reviews were about the smell, as a result, sometimes it was in the corridor, everything is OK in the room. We didn't get to the pool)
