We booked a family room for 3 at AU Hotel inside Abu Dhabi Airport through Trip.com, which clearly mentioned that the room had windows. However, upon arrival, we were disappointed to find no windows at all. When we enquired, the staff — who lacked proper communication skills — responded rudely, saying that if we were claustrophobic, we shouldn’t stay there, and that none of the rooms have windows.
Additionally, the room was set up only for 2 people despite being booked for 3, so we had to call and request extra amenities, which was unacceptable after a long-haul flight. Overall, the experience was disappointing, and better communication and hospitality from the staff would make a big difference for tired transit passengers.

I booked in here for the 6 hour stay option to get a rest during a long layover try and avoid jet lag. The location is very useful and it’s the only hotel available in the transit area. The staff were both pleasant/ competent however I was standing waiting in a queue for 15/20 minutes to check in when I arrived, not what you feel like doing after a long flight at 1 in the morning and when you’ve only got a 6 hour window to sleep. I feel they would definitely benefit from more staff during busier times to avoid this.
The room was very clean and had a shampoo/ conditioner, toiletries, complimentary tea and coffee etc. however there were a few minor problems.
Firstly there were no batteries in the tv remote so I had to mess around trying to find a way to turn off the tv so I could sleep, again not what you want to be be doing when you come in tired and just want to go straight to bed.
They did have English breakfast tea, 😃 however there was no milk to go in the tea or coffee 😣. The bed was very comfortable, the air-con worked well but was very loud. All very nit-picky I know and I wouldn’t usually complain except the fact I was paying the equivalent of 15 pound an hour (and that was with a trip discount) so for that I would expect a bit more.

If you need a place to rest for long layovers, AUHotel is the one to go! There is a flexibility for you to book the room for 6 or 12 hours, which are great options if the layover is less than 24 hours. It is conveniently located beside the pearl lounge

Perfect as a place to rest between flights. Almost no noise from ouside so very peaceful.
Small space and no wardrobe, also the bedside lamps did not work.

I recently stayed at a hotel at Abu Dhabi Airport, and I have to say, it's a convenient option for travelers. The hotel operates on an hourly basis, so it's essential to confirm how long you want to stay—options include 3, 6, or 12 hours. I highly recommend booking for 6 or 12 hours, especially if you have an overnight flight, as booking randomly for 3 hours can end up costing you more.
The hotel provides all the necessary services, including food. You can simply scan a QR code to order directly from the menu, and the food arrives at your room neatly packed in boxes.
Additionally, right opposite the hotel is the Pearl Lounge, which is a great spot to relax. If you have apps like Trip.com, you can make the most of your stay. Overall, this hotel is a fantastic choice for a quick and comfortable layover at Abu Dhabi Airport!
