“Convenient hotel hourly”

Dubai International Hotel

5 of 5 stars
Saudi Arabia
Jan 2, 2008
4/4 found this review helpful

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 our neighbours wake up call more than anything else in this busy hub. Check in and check out is quick and effecient. Room service was good value and quick.

Make sure you book in adviance as the hotel books out quickly at night and the lobby is usually strewn with people sleeping on the lounges.

“amazing, right in middle of airport”

Dubai International Hotel

Nov 21, 2007
3/3 found this review helpful

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 being minutes / seconds walk from the airport shopping, lounges and gates.

price by the hour which is good, but for around 8 hours about the same cost as a 4-5 star in Dubai

will stay again.

“Pricey but worth it”

Dubai International Hotel

4 of 5 stars

2/2 found this review helpful

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 I would use it again.

“Fantastic for a few hours!”

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!

“Escape the Madness of Dubai Airport”

Dubai International Hotel

5 of 5 stars
Brisbane, Australia

2/2 found this review helpful

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 stroll round duty free and then back for a sleep. Pop out after your sleep for a coffee and then back for a shower and straight on to your connecting flight.
