I recently stayed at the Grand Continental Hotel in Abu Dhabi, and my experience was quite mixed. The location is fantastic, situated in the heart of the city with easy access to restaurants and shopping (I loved how walkable everything was!). However, I faced some cleanliness issues that affected my stay, particularly with the smoke odor in the non-smoking areas. Overall, it has its perks but needs improvement in specific areas to enhance the experience.
