  The location, staff and cleanliness were excellent, I would have appreciated a bar / coffee shop in the hotel. I appreciate there are plenty of F&B outlets in the airport, but I expected something from the hotel for a peaceful spot.

  Best for 24-48 hours transit

  This generic hotel allows me to save lots of time and use transit hours as an opportunity to get other places. So, flying through Dubai I often get tickets with 1-2 days transit, bring my small carry-on with me, stay at the airport and visit some tourist attraction in different areas of the UAE: - Marina/Jumeirah - Burj Khalifa area Downtown - Bab AL Shams Resort - Conservation Reserve - Sharjah area - Umm AL Quwain Beach - Abu-Dhabi Ferrari - Emirates 7 stars Palace etc. After landing I recommend to proceed to this hotel reception straight away from your gate. Depending on how tired you are, consider sleeping for a few hours, or have a shower and go for excursion. I book long excursions, 4-5 or sometimes even 8 hours. So, I really need just to quickly return to the hotel without “luxury hospitality experience” that I do not need much in transit. Great location, if you visit opposite areas like Abu-Dhabi and Sharjah, this hotel is just in the middle. Any time of the day you can return to DXB by different transportation, plenty of options. As you do not have any luggage with you, it is easy to pass the airport security, just show them your next ticket/boarding pass. I am buying not only food and drinks in Duty Free, but also essentials like travel size cosmetics, t-shirts, sandals etc. that I do not need to carry from home. Emirates Airline provides the hotel for free for the first 24 hours in transit, I used that option and found it inconvenient: the hotel is usually rather old, crowded with tourists, queues at the reception, room might not be ready (!) not easy to find transportation to visit other places. I prefer Dubai International Hotel as it operates with a speed of airport: check-in is very quick, check-out is automatic. Rooms are spacious and clean. Shower is very good, you ‘ll get slippers, bathrobe, good amenities. It is quiet comparing to the hotels in the city as people only sleep here and do not party. Depending on the time when you decide to sleep (may be some odd hours) you’ll hear housekeeping in the other rooms, but it is inevitable, tho. The hotel is connected to a kind of Spa area, where you can swim in the pool (if you feel like your back needs it after a long flight) or get a massage. Overall, it was average, but the Spa experience was not the reason why I stayed at this hotel. The only thing that I did not like was the large window in the room overlooking other gates from the 2nd floor where the hotel is located, curtains do not give you 100% darkness to fall asleep. If such specific is not a problem for you, the rest if just fine.

  I HAVE USED THIS HOTEL A NUMBER OF TIMES NOW THE CONVENIENCE OF THE LOCATION IS A BIG DRAW CARD FOR ME TO HELP BREAK UP THE FLIGHT. THE ROOM IS ALWAYS VERY CLEAN AND WELL EQUIPPED STAFF ARE ALWAYS VERY HELPFULL. FOOD IS EXCELLENT. HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR A RESTFUL STOPOVER

  Not able to access hotel

  Can not tell you since was not able to stay. First there was no information that you must stay airside to use this hotel, second someone took my suitcase by mistake meaning I had to pass immigration to go landside to retrieve my luggage. It was not then allowed to go back airside as had no boarding pass for a flight, arriving boarding pass does not get you back to airside. The time was then 2am so had to find another hotel at extra expense.
