the prices needs to be corrected :) I paid 186 GBP for a 5* hotel in St James's over the christmas/New Year holidays and the service was superb, that is cheaper than any of the 5* hotels in AD with a far better service |

You are absolutely correct BM, Abu Dhabi hotels have been taking the piss for the last 2 years, room rates have more than tripled. It is supposed to be monitored and controlled by the tourist authority.

Think it has more to do with supply and demand, simply not enough hotels bad planning, more than anything, same old, same old
Hotels usually up their prices during the high season and exhibitions/events...That is also another factor... But I think over here the price of hotels went up in conjunction with house rents... |

Huge influx of new people, no appts, corporates taking block rooms for new staff coming in, high demand, triple the prices, greedy little shites No school places etc etc, bad bad planning! |

Inse. 2 years ago when the hotels in AD were charging 500 for a room, no one lost their jobs. Hotels have tripled their prices and i can guarantee not one member of staff (apart from management) got a pay rise. Its a complete rip off
