After landing on Etihad from Beirut, I made my way through immigration toward the Premier Inn. After spending the last two nights on economy class flights, I was beyond excited to sleep in a real bed.

Looks perfectly acceptable. I was going to stay there during a 10 hour layover, but the transit desk staff organised complimentary transfers and suite at a 5 star hotel by the sea. I didn't even ask for it. Had actually asked for directions to the airport hotel. Not sure if this is common at AUH, but it certainly impressed me at the time.
That's not an awkward looking couch, that's a chaise lounge. It's not there simply to fill space, it's there because many people prefer to recline and read/do the crossword/use their computer on something that isn't their bed.
I had to go back to Daniel’s intro post, which has the price of the hotel. 244 AED, which I guess is about EUR 57 or USD 67.
And I like chaise lounges.
Nice review, but did you end up eating at the hotel?
Well, it's around 70 USD if you book well in advanc or 110 USD for short term bookings (room only). I went there regularly for short overnight stops, after I discovered it.
Yes, past tense is used correctly, because after the demise of AirBerlin I'm no longer connecting through AUH, but rather DOH or DXB ...
The chaise lounge is actually an option to add a 3rd person to the room. They make it up like a single bed. If you had of bothered to do research on Premier Inn's you'd know that.
Also important to note that Premier Inn's also have a "get a good night sleep" guarantee or your money back.
Why don't reviewers on this site actually do some research (except for Lucky and Tiffany)? Not every airport hotel is a Hilton or SPG.
@AussieBen:
Complimentary suite? Which hotel? Airline? If it was complimentary, who paid for it? Airport? Airline? If so, which class of travel
OMG so many qns 😛
A note on food options - the hotel is part of the "SkyPark" facility. On the 4th floor where the rental car desks are located you will find a few extra choices for eating: McDonalds, Hatam (grilled lebanese style food), O'Briens sandwich bar and 'La brioche' (french cafe style). All all fairly decent in terms of quality and price...(well, McDonalds is as you would expect).
I like Daniel's reviews so this isn't intended as a bash - but does the world really need a review of a Premier Inn anywhere?
Daniel - see if you can review Premier Inn's new Hub line of hotels. They have revolutionary pod like rooms which are perfect for single travelers. I'm staying in Central London Hub (Westminster) as I write - 3 nights for less than GBP 180
