Hey Lucky,

I have a 12 hour layover in Abu Dhabi in a couple months and I am debating whether or not to get a hotel. I am traveling in EY First Class from Abu Dhabi so I could stay in the lounge if there is some sort of dayroom where I could nap for a couple hours. Or I could get a hotel, I have the Hyatt Credit Card so I could have a free night at the Hyatt Capital Gate, or I could just book a stay at the airport hotel. What option would you choose? How far is it to the Hyatt and what would a taxi cost?

Thanks, Gabe

@ Gabe — I’d do the Hyatt. It’s 20 minutes away, and a taxi shouldn’t be very expensive.

Hey Lucky,
have you ever stayed at the Premier Inn Terminal 3 in AUH? If, yes how is it? I am thinking of booking a night for my layover in may.

Anyone else tried it? Think I’m going to give it a shot, since my flight the next day leaves pretty early…

Thomas, Gary recently reviewed it here:

It does look extremely convenient, though also like a dorm room. So I guess it depends how much you’re willing to go out of your way for a more luxurious experience. With a quick overnight I’d certainly consider it.
