Premier Inn operates its own airport shuttle.
From the airport it is only Premier Inn Abu Dhabi Airport , it still has free shuttle service to other places : https://mena.premierinn.com/en/h...ark-hotel/ Another hotel Premier Inn Capital Centre also has free shuttle service , but not to the airport : https://mena.premierinn.com/en/h...tre-hotel/
However, this is a comment specifically about the hotel mentioned above.
Can I get to the transit hotel between the two wizz flights? I.e. I don't have one ticket with a change in AUH, but I'll fly in with wizz from VIE in the evening and then fly wizz (or Etihad etc) somewhere else the next morning. But at that point (evening) I won't have a boarding pass, as you have to go to the checkin counter in AUH to get it.
