Top 5 cheap hotels with heated pools in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

The hotel is located near the Sheikh Zayed Mosque, the airport, and is directly connected to the National Exhibition Center. Besides the location, I really liked its scenic pool. I also noted the design of the rooms.

The pool here is large, and it definitely won't feel cramped. I don't like when a lot of people gather; it immediately becomes somewhat uncomfortable. The sunbathing terrace is also spacious. And in general, the atmosphere is pleasant: a beautiful view, bright loungers, and decorative trees around the perimeter. 

The rooms are quite spacious, modern, with wooden elements and vivid details. I didn't find any suites or apartments, but all rooms come with a minibar, TV, kettle, iron, hairdryer, bathrobe, and slippers. For a business trip, this will be more than enough for me. 

I was surprised that the gym is open from 4 AM, which is convenient, as sometimes it is really necessary to work out before the start of the day. You can also play billiards and foosball. You access the National Exhibition Center through an air-conditioned corridor. That's great because I will need to participate in events there. Overall, the hotel is quite convenient for a business trip, as there are several conference rooms with boards, easels, and flip charts. 

Sometimes I will be returning late, so it's very convenient that there is a 24-hour self-service cafeteria here. Sometimes you can have lunch and dinner at the Dine restaurant or at the one on the rooftop. By the way, they prepare dishes in a real oven there. In the evening, I will drop by for a drink in one of the bars: the sports bar by the pool or on the rooftop. 

This hotel is definitely convenient for a business trip, as it is located not in the tourist center, but near the National Exhibition Center. I also read reviews, and all guests praise the service very highly. And if the staff takes care of the guests, it means it will be cozy here!

The hotel on Yas Island is near theme parks, a water park, the beach, and the Formula 1 track. Although it has four stars, many guests note that the service is five-star. For me, the location is not perfect, but if you're heading to Abu Dhabi for a vacation, it's just right. I will keep it in mind for my next trip.

The hotel has one main pool, which is medium-sized, and a separate children's pool. Both are heated. There is a bar and a sun terrace nearby. Everything I need.

They offer both standard rooms and suites of various sizes for accommodation. I liked the classic suite. It is quite spacious, with large windows and a beautiful view, a bathroom with a bathtub and a separate living room. The room will have a mini-bar, a TV, a hairdryer, a bathrobe, toiletries, and a kettle. 

It's good that there is a gym, quite large and well-equipped. I'm also pleased with the spa, I will order a massage there, as my back hurts a lot after flights. And I will also be able to relax in the jacuzzi, steam room, or sauna. This hotel is great for vacationing with children, as there is a pool and a club for them. A shuttle goes to various attractions on the island, as well as to the beach. 

The hotel has six restaurants and bars! Options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner can be found in the buffet restaurant. I will have dinner to try Indian cuisine, and I will grab a snack by the pool and get a smoothie. Coffee can be enjoyed in the lobby, and in the evening, I can sit in the bar.

This hotel has an excellent location. I would choose it for a trip with children, to avoid spending too much time traveling to the water park and other interesting places. Moreover, it is close to the airport. The rooms are comfortable, with beautiful views, and I also liked the gym and spa. I definitely recommend this option. 

Despite being a three-star hotel, the stay here is comfortable. I am satisfied with the services offered here, which is why I included it in my selection. 

It's great that I can take advantage of the large heated outdoor pool and the terrace with sun loungers. There is also a children's pool nearby. This place is quite suitable for my evening relaxation.

Sometimes in small hotels the rooms resemble a closet, but here even the standard rooms are quite spacious, and that's great! The room has complimentary mineral water, tea and coffee making facilities, a mini-bar, a hairdryer, a television, and a desk. I think that will be enough for me. For a longer stay, I would choose an apartment, as it has a full kitchen, dining area, and living room. 

In addition to the pool, there is a jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room. It is very nice that the fitness center is open. In fact, I am pleasantly surprised by such amenities in a three-star hotel. The only downside is that all of them are shared between the two hotels: Ibis and Novotel, and you have to access them through the neighboring entrance. I don’t like such complications.

Breakfast is available for an additional fee. I read the reviews, and almost all guests are satisfied with the food, so I think I will have it too. There is also a café where you can conveniently have a snack even late at night, as it is open 24 hours.

I believe the hotel is good for its price and category. There is a pool, a spa area, a fitness center, and spacious rooms. It is perfect for a business trip or a layover between flights. 

Comfortable city hotel, suitable for both leisure and business trips. Many restaurants, beautiful views from the window, and a bus stop nearby.

The heated pool in this hotel is located on the roof. The view is excellent! The depth ranges from 0.9 to 1.65 m, suitable for both children and adults. There is a terrace nearby with sun loungers and umbrellas. I like everything! 

All rooms have a workspace and a bathroom with a bath and a shower. In the Suites category, there will be a kitchenette or a fully equipped kitchen, a living room, and a dining area. I would choose a simpler room, but if I were planning to stay for several weeks or vacationing with children, I would definitely choose a suite. There is a pillow menu! I love this option! You can choose a room that suits your needs and feel at home. 

I will definitely use the gym, as I try not to skip workouts even when traveling. In the mornings, I will swim in the pool, and in the evenings, I will go to the gym. Moreover, after the workouts, I will be able to stop by the sauna or steam room and relax before bedtime. The business center in the hotel is open 24/7. It will completely replace my office, as it has computers, printers, copiers, and a tea and coffee area. 

The hotel has six bars and restaurants. I like the lounge bar with a rooftop terrace and hookah. There is a bar, Hytes, on the roof next to the pool where you can have lunch, dinner, or just drink coffee. In the restaurants, I can try grilled steaks, Indian, Arabic, and Japanese dishes. There is also a sports bar and a café with Italian coffee and French pastries. 

I love the rooftop pool the most; it's pleasant to swim with beautiful views. It's convenient that there are rooms with kitchens, although I think the restaurants will be enough for me, there are many here. 

This hotel is quite close to the airport. On one hand, it is rather simple, without frills, but on the other hand, it has all the essentials.

On the roof, I found a small but well-maintained pool that is heated in the cold season. There's also a jacuzzi nearby! Around it, there is a wide terrace with lounge chairs and umbrellas. 

Essentially, all the rooms in this hotel are of the same type, differing only in the number and size of the beds: either two single beds or one king-size bed. There are also family rooms with one large bed and two single beds. The rooms are quite simple, but they come with a mini-bar, kettle, hairdryer, and table. They offer non-smoking rooms. 

A shuttle bus from the hotel goes to the beach and various attractions. Many guests have used it, it is really convenient. There is a small gym, suitable for a short evening workout. 

In the mornings, the restaurant serves an English breakfast. I would prefer a buffet, but if the breakfast is tasty, I won't get tired of it for two or three days. Lunch and dinner can be ordered from the menu. There is also a bar and a café. If you are checking in with children, please note that they eat for free when ordering for an adult. 

The bus that takes guests to attractions is a big plus, it saves money, and you don't have to worry about getting lost. The heated pool is just what I was looking for. The hotel is also great for business trips, I plan to visit the National Exhibition Center. Overall, it is for unpretentious travelers who value comfort and cleanliness, but without luxury.
