LOVED the breakfast!!! So good for only $9USD. Enjoyed being directly across the street from Jumeriah Mosque and seeing that every time we walked outside (we were there during Ramadan, and it was lit up at night). As a solo woman traveler, it felt safe and comfortable. Also loved the Persian restaurant next door -- Persian Kebab. It was phenomenal! Recommend one of the chicken skewers.
The Ibis was clean, the shower water was hot, and the water pressure was great. Add to that, it was a VERY quiet room -- i think sound proofed? A great room for the price.
Nearby gas station has water and snacks. Plus, there is a cafe, restaurant, and water snck vending maching on site at the hotel.
We needed a ride to the Abu Dhabi Airport, and the travel agent kindly arrange that for us (and gave us a better price than uber!).
