With a 20 hour layover in Dubai, this was a very convient hotel to stay considering it is in the airport. It was a little hard to find. I stayed at the location in Terminal 3. Terminal 3 is actually 3 terminals in one, with Concourses A, B and C. The hotel is in the middle of Concourse B. My... More

We had 9 hour stopover between Australia and Europe and found the Dubai International an excellent way to break up the trip. It's pricey (we paid about $180aud) but so convenient, particularly given it's on the airport side of customs. We asked for the meet and greet service and found a lovely young man waiting as we exited the plane... More

Stayed here during March, 2013 with my partner during a transit stop. The hotel is very expensive but excellent rooms and facilities. The price for one night makes you wince but it is close to being worth the money. Bath robe, slippers and the other usual amenities are all provided. Reception staff are very helpful and polite. They do a... More

We stayed here just one night due to connection time for the next flight. Its comfortable, but a little expensive i would say. There was a service man present at our exit to guide us to the hotel. We did not have time to get the breakfast though. The rooms are large and comfortable for 3 adults and a child... More

The signposting at Dubai Airport is very minimal and it took us an hour between disembarking and getting to our room. We arrived at Terminal 3 (A Gates for the A380s) and weren't sure exactly where the Hotel was. The hotel in the A Gates is not yet open and the hotel is almost hidden within the B-Gates area in...

Flying from Hong Kong to the UK I had a 9 hour layover, Landing at 23:00 and flying out at 08:05 I looked at pre-booking a room at this hotel for the night but was advised that you could just turn up and request a room for a number of hours, as I would want to get something to eat... More

Here's one for you that not a lot of people know about. If you have to fly though DXB and you're going to be there a while, why not take a shower? Terminal 1 has this. If you've been there before, you know where McDonald's is. When you're faxing the restaurant, look to your left and you'll see a set... More

I stayed here twice during long layovers. The rooms are nice. The hotel is easy to get to (it's inside the airport). Quick in/out. The downside is it's a bit pricy. The upside is they are full size hotel rooms so you can relax.

For a transit hotel (compared, for example, with Singapore's, which is cheap but basic) this is very good. The rooms are nice and have everything you would expect in a good class hotel room. The bed is extremely comfortable. The shower isn't very forceful but that seems to be the case in Dubai generally, and may be due to water... More
