Review: Dubai International Airport Hotel

This hotel is super convenient and made what would have been a hellish layover, a tolerable one (1am - 7am). FYI, LoungeBuddy website also sells this hotel in 6 and 12 hour blocks which was a godsend for my situation. Thanks for the great report!

I stayed there last November (14 hour layover) and it was incredibly convenient. A couple of drinks and dinner at one of the lounges, solid 8 hours of sleep and we were off to our next flight. I would do it any time I have an short overnight connection in Dubai

sexy chair pic!

are the spa treatments comp in the EK F lounge? We'll be on the very same flights MXP-DXB-LAX and have already booked the DIH, was lucky to get a $110 rate for that night.

Apropos the soft drink promotion, anyone who is travelling in a group or with kids would appreciate it.
Sadly your narrow minded self cant see beyond your own nose. 🙂

@ Keiran -- First passengers do get a complimentary 15 minute treatment in the Timeless Spa across from the first class lounge.

@ Noa380 -- And the eight alcoholic drinks? It's quite the opposite of a "soft drink" promotion...

@ Noa380 — Can’t see beyond his own nose? You couldn’t even read the post!

Ben there’s no need to apologise. Quality over quantity, and your review quality couldn’t be higher.

@Noa380 , ben was pointing out that it was not cheap andit was very specific and that he wouldn't see use for that , I believe most people would agree. you could think it's a good deal but don't insult others in the meantime

This hotel was a life saver when I used it for layovers over the course of 6 months on economy to the Indian subcontinent. I was pleasantry surprised that the rooms appointment and amenity kits were as good as any 4 or 5 star hotel, even though they probably didn’t need to. I slept like a baby

I usually use their shower facilities when I get off flights from Australia and catch my connection to Europe. I think they are priced around 10-15 Euros. If you fly Y it's a life saver.

This is very random, I'll admit. I noticed when I was in Dubai the electric outlets had switches. You needed to flip the switch to use the outlet. Is this to conserve electricity?

@Kelcy - this is common outside the US. It not only prevents "zombie" appliances from pulling electricity, but also ensures there's no power flowing to the plug for safety. ie If kid sticks a knife in, or an appliance pulls extra electricity, etc...

On Thursday I turned to the hotel with a request to stay in the room. But I faced the impudent treatment of the employee
Eureka. Who was sarcastic and spoke in a raised tone. Refused to show me the room before checking in. Then I asked at least to show the photographs, to which she replied that they did not have access to the Internet. She did not even try to help me in any way to consult. I was very surprised and shocked by such inappropriate behavior on the part of the employee. After such behavior, it was no longer pleasant for me to be there, and I was forced to leave and stay in another hotel. As a result, I was very disappointed with the service and any desire to visit this place disappeared.
Despite the fact that the football team and I were planning to visit this hotel in two weeks ,. It was also very strange to observe how in the airport area, representatives of the hotel are standing with an advertising poster and inviting people to stay with them. What's the point if when a person comes to you on their own, you are unable to provide him with the appropriate service. In general, I strongly recommend the management staff to carefully select employees at the reception, since this person is an institution. And such employees spoil the hotel's reputation. My wishes for all the best.
