Dubai International Hotel

We have now stayed at the Dubai International Hotel twice. If you have to stopover in Dubai it really is a very good way to break the journey Rooms are clean and comfortable and whilst not particularly cheap they represent good value . There is fruit in the room and really nice fluffy towels, toiletries etc. Service is excellent - e.g non allergenic pillows and blankets produced at one in the morning. The spa and gym look good but only carrying hand baggage I have never been able to use them.

We took an 8 hour stay in the hotel while on transit in Dubai to proceed on holiday. The stay was excellent though for a short time. Everything about the hotel was excellent including the rooms, the service the food, the pool the jacuzzi. It was such a memorable experience for me and my family.

I have now stayed at the Dubai International Hotel in the Dubai International airport 4 times. Each time I have found the accomodation and staff excellent. The convenience of not having to go through customs and baggage and just going to the transfer desk, 2 hours before departure - to me is far more convenient than staying in Dubai itself. If you are transitting this is a perfect choice to sleep or rest at. The rooms are very clean and modern. Fruit bowls and bottled water and no aircraft noise to be heard. Infact we could hear... more

such a good little hotel right above the departures/arrivals lounge in the middle of the airport. very easy when making a transfer in dubai and you want to get some sleep for a few hours or longer. great modern rooms, one of the most comfy beds I have ever had in a hotel. free water and fruit in the room. great bathroom amenities. take ear plugs if you are sensitive to noise as you might just hear some of the flight announcements from the airport, but this really did not bother me. total luxury of staying right in the hotel and... more

Decided to use the Hotel to manage my 8 hour stop over in Dubai on a return journey. The whole experience was fantastic....the staff were very efficient and friendly, the room was amazing (vey luxurious with toiletries, fruit, coffee and tea making facilities and very, very quiet - what you need if you fly economy like me). The only negative side was the price but you need to weigh it up over sitting on hard chairs at best, lying on floors at worst and based on how long your connection time is. For me it was well worth it and... more

Sounds funny - pay by the hour for a hotel. But this is what all airports shuld have and it offers an excellent respite between flights... Excellent room, in the terminal, so no need to go through customs. Take ear plugs, as you can hear all the flight announcements and then the call to prayer starts early!

I have used this hotel twice in the last year as a place to spend a five hour stopover. I booked it directly at ([--]). It is worth booking in advance as it is often full. The cost is slightly less than you would pay for a full overnight stay in a Dubai 5 star hotel. The facilities are great with rooms stocked with toiletries to pamper yourself in your private bathroom during your stay. Dubai Airport is so overcrowded these days its the only way you can be sure of getting a decent sleep. Deposit your bags in the room and go for a... more

We were returning from Bangkok to Malta and had a 8 hour stop over in Bangkok. So we decided last minute to use the hotel and just walked in to enquire about a room. The hotel is situated right in the terminal and you do not have to leave the airport. Check-in seemed slow but took no more than 10 mins including waiting time but it seemed longer as we were tired. We had flown business class on the new emirates plane and had the fully flat reclining bed but we were still eager for a real bed and a good sleep before the next... more

actually I was a walk in customer, the hotel is very conveniently located (3rd floor of the transit terminal, 2nd fl are the departure gates and 1st floor duty free) paid about US$40 per hour (this was during the low usage hours already) and stayed for 3 the check in desk was quite inefficient for the price they charge, they had 3 behind the desk and it took over 5 minutes for someone to help me even though there was only one other couple in line ahead of myself I did feel sorry for the girl behind the desk when she told me... more

Great place to stay if you are tight on time and need to sleep. Easy access, good facilities. Only problem is the cost - you need a big wallet if you wish to stay here.
