Al Ain hotels & places to stay

Hili Rayhaan is the best hotel in Al Ain for me, I love their GYM so much and even the Egyptian coach is really helpful and you feel you have a personal trainer. I kept working out everyday. Just 1 point is the variety of breakfast and launch, also I would advise that you don't serve canned food, I would prefer fresh food such as beans. I would advise if you could provide healthy options rather than serving peanut butter full of sugar and hydrogenated fat More fresh soft fruits

Al-Ain is very spread out. We had a car, so in the end where to stay became less relevant based on location, as we knew we would need to drive everywhere to see some of the attractions anyway. Ayla wasn't particularly close to any of the places where we wanted to visit but that wasn't crucial. The hotel itself, food options and parking were. Therefore Ayla ticked all our boxes. It was reasonably priced compared to other Al Ain options yet had very good standards. Clean, touches of class and a very comfortable room standard. The TV channels were among the best of many hotels I have ever been to too, with so many film channels in English. My wife and I spent hours at night watching great Hollywood movies! The pool was compact but nice and the gym, excellent for a hotel standard. It was a big, big plus that there was free underground parking (get the car out of the sun!) and never a problem to get a good parking space. The hotel is opposite a decent mall, with all the obvious food choices that kids could go for. It was a pretty decent mall in fact - large enough to shop and wander in and had entertainment etc there too. Al Ain is not blessed with as many hotel options as Dubai and Abu Dhabi, so for me, Ayla should be near the top of the list of options (at the price we got). We certainly would stay here again.

I really enjoyed my stay at Danat Al Ain with my family. I found the cost of the room very competitive taking into account the 4 star rating and various facilities and such nice rooms are much more expensive in Dubai. The hotel is quiet located outside the center of Al-Ain surrounded by palm trees, but only about a 10 dirham (about 3 $US) taxi trip from Al-Ain mall so going to the city center is fast and affordable. Hotel restaurants were a bit expensive as one might expect in a 4 star hotel. Our room wasn't that big as compared to a similarly priced hotel apartment but very nice, clean and in good condition. My only complaint was that there was no free internet, not even slow speed wireless, which I expect at such high class hotels.

i've always liked being in al-ain, uae as well as staying in the al-jimi area of al-ain as well, which is very landscaped, laid back and relaxing. the al-massa hotel is well designed and comfortable to be in, but it's a bit too pricy with being in us dollars range or dirhams per nite, which is very high when/if you are transitioning from a pervious job which ended over 3 months while still search for other options in the uae, which i've been doing, but have't found yet. i still like and think well of the al-massa hotel, but hope that they'll start to change their policy with having a weekly or monthly rate, not just nightly rate for someone such as myself who as stayed with them 3 times so far in recent months. there needs to be a new policy where some one such as myself who have stayed at al-massa regularly in recent weeks/months should be able to get some discounts/rewards for near future stays at al-massa again. weekly or monthly rates need to become part of al-massa as well starting soon. as the saying goes, less is more". when things are cheaper or more affortable, then they can get more guests to stay with them. thanks

Having seen this hotel from afar at other hotels we have stayed at in al ain decided that this had to be ticked of the list.We were not dissapointed in any way the staff are a credit to the hotel the room had fantastic views over the swimming pools and surrounding areas[make sure you take a camera]The bed was huge ten foot wide and comfortable to boot.The Lawrence bar had entertainment of a trio of girl singers who had very good voices not forgetting the guy on the keyboard who knocked out a few desmond decker numbers it was a enjoyable stay and will be back.

Due to the nature of my job (I am a tour manager), over the years I have stayed in many hotels, either for business or for pleasure. I have seen many excellent hotels and many not too good ones. Ayla Bawadi Hotel was excellent. Quick check-in and check-out with friendly staff. Room was spacious with modern design. Clean. Bed was very comfortable and finally I found a hotel that has big pillows as I prefer those. Swimming pool on the roof was very nice, especially as I had a 3-year-old child travelling with me. She enjoyed it. Good selection of food for breakfast. The location though isn't great if you don't have your own wheels. It is not in the centre of Al Ain but few kilometers south, just next to Bawadi Mall (with great shopping opportunities). But I had a car so no problem there. I guess the walk-in price is a bit high but I booked this hotel months in advance and got excellent price. Would love to stay here again when in Al Ain.

This might be good for long stay but not defenitely for a short stay. Rooms are spacious but no In room dining and no restaurants nearby. Reception is far away if the room is in a different building (building 2 or 3 or 4). No wifi in the rooms which is a major drawback. May be its the cheapest room available in al ain but I prefer to spend couple more 100 and stay in a good hotel.

I went there for a week-end with a friend. We loved the decoration of the room which is modern, far from kitschy hotel I used to go in Abu Dhabi or Dubaï. The place were quiet, we slept very well. The staff at the reception, the bar at the pool and the "Olive Tree" restaurant were very nice, helpful and welcoming. Cocktails were good, and desserts were amazingly tasteful and refined. The breakfasts were also fine. The swimming pool has a very nice view on Al An and the Jebel Hafeet. Other good point: the music at the restaurant, swimming pool and bar was pleasant and not too noisy, we were able to chat without speaking louder.
