My stay at Intercontinental Abu Dhabi was truly memorable. Despite some delays during check-in, the staff’s patience and support made all the difference. I especially want to appreciate Ammar for handling difficult customers with such calmness and grace, and Fred for being cooperative throughout the process. Harshani was extremely helpful and patient while assisting me with cash withdrawal from our cards, which made things much easier. Ramly, Keanu, and Priyanka were always available, very cooperative, and quick to answer any questions during my time at the hotel. A special thanks to Hanifah for going out of her way to help with my laundry, ensuring everything was taken care of. I’m very grateful to the entire team for making my experience so smooth and pleasant! Read less
