The WB Abu Dhabi, part of the Curio Collection by Hilton, garners accolades for its attentive staff and exceptional service, with guests often feeling well-cared for. The thematic rooms generally receive positive marks for cleanliness, though there are occasional remarks about noise and size. Its prime location on Yas Island makes it a hit for easy access to local attractions.
Families in particular enjoy the hotel's amenities, from themed dining to kid-friendly pools. While the atmosphere buzzes with a family-friendly vibe and live music, some guests feel the pricing is a bit steep, despite the overall good value.

A truly fantastic hotel through and through. This is our second time staying at the WB and my family and I just love it so much. First of all, the location is excellent. You can walk across and the WB Theme Park is right there. You can also walk to Yas Mall/Ferrari World. There's a free shuttle also but we prefer to walk (beware the sidewalk is a bit patchy in places- tip: go through the mall parking for a shortcut). The food is excellent. We usually get the buffet breakfast at Sidekicks. The options are delicious and the characters come out which is always a treat. This time we had dinner at The Director's Club which was also delicious. The atmosphere here is very sophisticated and sleek, and you get a view of the wood burning oven which my son enjoyed. The food is pricey but we ordered 3 mains to share and it was worth it (ribs, chicken and cod). Yum! Staff were very attentive as well and there was a live duo singing and playing the sax which was a nice surprise. Back to the rooms. They are spacious and well appointed. All amenities you need are there. If you call to ask for something, they bring it right away. The rooms are also very hip. I love to see which art work I get! (Last time it was Big Bang Theory, this time it was Bugs Bunny!). I also love the view of WB from the window. My favourite items in the room is the WB mug which I adore and wish they sell! It's literally the perfect mug. AND the pool area is also incredible with the cartoons playing on the big screen. Finally, the service and staff are exceptional. Very courteous and welcoming and genuinely want to help you. Special thank you to Feryal who I saw last time at the hotel and she was so friendly and personable. We saw her this time as well and it was a pleasure to have a chat with her again. I forgot to mention that I also love the lobby of the hotel; sophisticated yet fun. The characters also come out to the lobby for photos. Furthermore, the Friends couch and fountain in front of the hotel is great. We love to take photos there and with the character luggage and Batmobile out at the front. Again, I love it here so much I hope to stay again. It's worth the extra cost in my opinion. What are you waiting for?

This hotel, located directly at the WB Movie World, belongs to the almost very high-priced category within the Hilton group. Our expectations before arrival were accordingly. The check-in, including luggage service to the room, was professional and well organized. The room (upgraded as a diamond member) was large and equipped with a seating area, desk, coffee machine and refrigerator. Mineral water was refilled every day. The air conditioning worked quietly and properly. The housekeeping by Madhavi and Albin was very well organized and Albin asked several times if there was anything missing or if everything was OK. (I really liked this personal service). The outdoor pool area with bar, lifeguard and towel service left nothing to be desired. On the 7th floor there is also a bar with a pool (for adults only), relaxation area and a view over Abu Dhabi. However, this area was too elitist and out of touch for us. Several restaurants with different standards round off the offer of this hotel complex. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but we were given a room with a connecting door. A family with several small children was staying next door, so there was a certain amount of noise, especially in the evenings. The hotel should organize this better when allocating rooms.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
We have just returned from Abu Dhabi, staying 8 nights in The WB Abu Dhabi Curio Collection. Yas Island was our chosen location for the family, with a large number of attractions included within the hotel package – SeaWorld (now included in new bookings), Ferrari World, Warner Bros. and Yas Waterworld. The hotel was fantastic in every aspect. The rooms were spacious and we could comfortably sleep four people (2 adults / 2 children). Food quality and variety was excellent. We were on the full board package, with food available all day at the Sidekicks restaurant. Our recommendation would be to have breakfast in the Director’s Club (ground floor) if you are after something a bit quieter. Dinner is also available here at an additional cost. What made the hotel and our stay was the staff – the service was exceptional and some of the very best we have experienced across the world. To mention specifically; Farkhanda, Ibrahim and Repesh – they ensured our stay and meal times were relaxing and enjoyable. The pool staff were attentive and supervision (and interaction) with lifeguards excellent. The food around the pool was well priced (not included in full board package) and we enjoyed the movie experience on the big screen, which is available every night from 7.00pm.
The only one area we would give some constructive feedback on would be the request for a quiet room – it was given – but we were given a connecting room, which was not quiet with some guests.
Holiday booked through Travel Counsellors, with Cath Martin looking after us throughout our trip. Would recommend her services if you are interested in Abu Dhabi. Just Google Travel Counsellors and search Cath Martin.
We would highly recommend Abu Dhabi for young families, particularly Yas Island and The WB Abu Dhabi Curio.

Fantastic experience at the WB Hotel, service throughout from all staff has been brilliant. Stayed on a half board plus deal which includes 2 drinks at dinner. Dined at both sidekicks Buffet and the directors club for dinner, breakfast at both is great and exactly the same, just less “chaos” in the directors club. Characters appear most meal times and are brilliant with the kids.
Big shout out to Hamid in housekeeping, looked after our room superbly the kids loved the towel creature’s he created and our room was also clean and well stocked with water etc.
The overlook adults only pool on the roof is amazing for some down time. Especially if you take advantage of the great free kids club, go up and chill out on the rooftop pool with cracking views.
The evening movies are great round the pool and the big screen.
Hotel itself is really comfortable modern and welcoming. Themed throughout with movie memorabilia. The location is 50yds if that from WB studios park - get to all parks 20mins before opening for the quietest times it get busier come 1-2pm, but you can easily take advantage of that two hour window with little or no queues. We completed most top rides across all parks, Ferrari world, water park, Wb and sea world. All are good for kids young and old in their own right, sea world maybe not so much for the bigger kids as it only has Manta which is still pretty epic. Parks don’t open till 10/11am so it’s easy to get there early.
You can walk the water park from the WB but for Ferrari world and sea world you will need to get a cab (15aed approx) or the free bus.
If you do the parks at opening you can be done at most by 3/4pm leaving some late afternoon pool time at the hotel before dinner.
Overall a great stay and perfect for a family holiday - will definitely be back.

A beautiful hotel with a varied breakfast, good service, polite and friendly staff, and clean rooms. The reception/lobby area is very nicely decorated. Cartoon characters were present everywhere, creating a fun and happy atmosphere for children.
Pros:
Lovely hotel ambiance Great breakfast selection Clean rooms and polite staff
Unfortunately, during the last two nights of our stay, we had the bad luck of being next to families with extremely noisy children. They were shouting in the hallways, slamming doors, and making noise in their rooms, even late at night (11:00 PM) and early in the morning (8:00 AM). There was no parental supervision or control over the situation, but we understand that this doesn’t depend on the hotel and is more about the parents’ education.

One of the best hotels I've ever been to and I have been lucky to have travelled to many places including New Zealand, Dubai, Las Vegas, St Lucia, the Maldives, UK, Ireland, Spain, etc. etc.
The hotel is brand new and has all the facilties you can imagine plus it is very near to the theme parks in Yas Island making it very convenient.
The service is excpetional and I want to make a special mention to Venesia, Rupesh, Sammy, and Farkhanda at the restaurant, Sidekicks. They were extremely helpful especially with my kids. I dined at Sidekicks during most of our stay because they made us feel so welcome and the food is very good. Can't forget to mention Hoirul who made sure that our room was impecable every day plus even took time to provide info on some beaches we wanted to visit. And also special mention to Mohammed at the Reception desk, who was always one step ahead of me with anything required - nothing was impossible for him.
So if you are thinking to go to a theme park holiday, make sure to look up the WB Abu Dhabi - facilities are great, location excellent and staff are even better.

This was honestly the best holiday we have ever had. We travelled with our Grandson who is 12 and none of us wanted to leave. This Hotel is perfection, from checking in to leaving we were totally spoiled and really appreciate everything they did to make our holiday absolutely perfect. The location is perfect for the theme parks no need for a taxi you can walk or catch the free shuttle bus to the parks, we walked and felt very safe even late at night. The rooms are big and cleaned every day, this was the cleanest hotel I have ever stayed in, the beds are so comfy and the hotel is so quiet we never heard anyone else during the week stay, we slept in every day. The food in the breakfast room is tasty, varied and plenty of it, it’s buffet and you can use a quieter restaurant if the usual one gets busy, we really appreciate that. Sitting outside for breakfast every day was a real treat. But what makes this Hotel stand out is the staff and attentiveness they give you, it was an amazing place and if you are thinking of going we recommend it 100%. Special mention to Bayez she is the jewel in the crown! the ladies in Sidecicks for everything you did for us and the rest of the staff who couldn’t do enough for us. Abu Dhabi is truly amazing we loved every minute of our holiday!

Only went to the restaurant as was staying in the adjoining DoubleTree. Service was exceptional! Thank you to Athena and Mass! My water was always topped up and they always asked if I needed anything. Food was probably a 7/10, some really lovely dishes such as buratta, prawns, calamari, but others were average. Lots of great fresh fruit!

We had such a wonderful time in WB hotel. Everything about this hotel is amazing for kids and adults too. I had a special request to have a cake to treat my boys for being so good in a long travel journey and the staff made it so special by putting cakes, chocolate and balloons waiting for us in the room, my boys were over the moon to have that surprise. My boys enjoyed coming to the room and being surprised by finding the animal towels made by Hamid and the room was always squeaky clean. Sidekick restaurant food and staff was a top notch. Thank you vanessia, Jeni, Caroline, H too, Hawa and everyone who works there who made sure to make us feel at home and welcome us with a friendly smile. The cinema by the pool is a great place to end up the day. The spa is so nice, I had a very relaxing massage by Dewi. The boys enjoyed going to the theme parks and meeting the characters and taking pictures with them. We loved and enjoy every moment in this experience and would love to come back again in the future.
