Very beautiful and well maintained and quite expensive too. Airport staff try to keep you away from check-in timely (perhaps due to prior mutual understanding between hotel management and Airport staff) and also hotel management try to keep you as short as possible but during stay they serve well. Best option if there is time lag between connecting flights (12 hours) instead going out more appropriate to stay inside to keep refrain from formal entry and visa.

Stayed here during a 8h overnight layover when we realised we couldn’t get lounge access (and Emirates was trying to charge ~$250 a head for it…). Was very happy/pleasantly surprised. Very clean and spacious rooms that felt very modern. Excellent showers/bathrooms and super quiet. Great for a nights sleep between flights - Paul the receptionist was very helpful. 10/10 would do again (was also cheaper and 100x better than going to the lounge)

A perfect location to rest when you have 22hrs to spare en route to Europe. Unbelievable quiet rooms, esp. when the planes are less than 60m away. Massive clean bathroom and the bed was comfortable too!

Perfect for lay over, our flight the transit time still long so we decide to stay over in this hotel, its really a good choice will come back for sure. Feel refresh and cheaper if you choose between lounge and hotel, breakfast is ok, bed is comfy and here you can access to duty free also so can shopping and put your shop and then go back again shop. Perfect and i will come back for sure ❤️

Lovely hotel with lovely views. It’s right inside the international terminal at the Dubai International Airport. The bed is so comfortable and the rooms comes with a massaging chair which gives you a relaxing massage before you hit the bed. It’s a lovely room with a king size bed and lovely interior. I enjoyed my short stay here and hope to visit once again

Fantastic for a layover. We had an early hours 8 hour wait between the two flights, so decided to get a family room. You could potentially run the risk of sleeping in the airport with the loungers that they have on offer, but with children, we were not comfortable to do so. We were met from the aeroplane and walked with the representative for a good 15 minutes including going through security. Not so great with two younger sleepy kids. We were hoping for a golf cart on something similar, which is what they pick you up in for other airport hotels. Check in was busy and took a while for us to get into our room. The rooms were comfortable, clean and perfect for getting a few extra hours sleep before the next leg of the flight. The shower and facilities were perfect for refreshing and getting back on the road. All in all a smooth transition and a painless experience.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars! The hospitality at this hotel is unmatched. Every staff member was extremely kind, helpful and they all went above and beyond to make sure my stay was nothing short of perfect. Room service was so quick and the food was amazing; large portions too! The room was very clean and equipped with everything I would need. I even got to experience the 24/7 pool, jacuzzi and steam room. Thank you Dubai International Hotel, I will definitely be back.

We stayed at this hotel during our long layover. It was totally worth it (we also somehow got a very discounted price). We were met upon arrival, check in process was smooth, room was spacious quiet and had everything we possibly needed. The only minus for me was food we ordered from room service - in my opinion it wasn’t good.

Stayed at Dubai International Hotel (DIH) a couple of times when my flights got canceled or delayed. The hotel is located inside the departure terminals B and C. It’s a great hotel, very clean, great service, spacious rooms with all the basic amenities available in the room for the comfort of the hotel guests. However, the hotel is a bit pricey but you’re at the airport so it’s worth it.

For a whopping 200 US$ you'll have: - on paper 3 hours in a room, real time 2.5 hours. Checked in at 4.50 a.m. and check out time was given at 6.30 (should split each 15 minutes, not 30) - a slow check in which takes 10 minutes by the way, with clerks who are clumsy in a way - a room which will be at the opposite end of such hotel, so you'll have to walk for another 5 to 7 minutes which further decrease the time you avail of - a master switch in the room which will switch off also the socket which you eventually use to charge your phone, so the alternative to have a dark room is to switch off one by one something like a dozen different switches Come on guys, some common sense. Give 3 full hours, don't cheat on the time and give rooms close to reception if people are staying only up to 3 hours Even if i'll need to transit through dxb several times during next months, I'll choose to not avail of this facility as services are pathetic. Money wasted. 2 stars only for cleanliness.

They manage it as a scam … I paid 6 hours ….as would arrive at 1 and had flight at 9;”:30 in terminal 2 . When checked in they said I need 3 h to get to T2 so need wake up at 5:00 to leave 5:30 . Obvious took me 30 m to get to T2 and had to wait 3 h instead of been sleeping in hotel . Very bad service . They just want people out of the rooms earlier than they paid to rent them again !!! Hotel itself is like a Novotel at price of a 5 stars

One of the very nice and pleasant hotel inside the Dubai international airport. I was worrying how I am going to reach the hotel since my arrival terminal and the terminal where the hotel is located both are different. But the meet and greet service was easing me to reach the hotel. The hotel room is very neat and clean and coffee machine is placed inside the room. The bed mattress comforter everything was good to enjoy the stay over there.

Recently I had a flight through Dubai. Since visa on arrival was not available because of covid. I had a 22 hour layover in Dubai. So I decided to stay at this hotel within terminal. First I called this hotel from a phone within the airport. I was told room available for $225. So I went to reception area to pay and get the room keys. Once there the lady said it is now $286. I agree to it (because I was with kids and they needed to sleep). When I gave her my credit card for payment she said the price changed again now it is $344. I had no choice but to pay for it. My kids were tired. She used this situation to make money. This how I was treated in terms of price. Apart from the price hike I also faced racial profiling. When I got to the reception area, there was 1 customer being attended so I wait in line to be called by one of the other 3 persons at the reception. Stood in line for 15 minutes but I was not called, so I sat down on a seat in waiting area. At the same time a white lady walked in. She was attended immediately by one of those 3 persons. A clear sign of racial profiling.

Great hotel, I was very impressed for being a Hotel inside the airport. The room was very clean, tidy and had everything I needed. The only frustrating things were that the Air Conditioning was limited to 21.5C and would not go lower. The reception staff blamed the airport but ultimately it’s all part of the same business. Also, the automated Wake Up call service was about 6 mins off schedule but the guy at reception could not understand that the time was no accurate so that needs to be checked. I would absolutely stay there again and recommend it but they need to sort the air conditioning.

EVERYTHING is so amazing about this hotel! Stayed here for the 3rd time during our layovers. Staff are wonderful, ever ready to assist and very helpful. I contacted them initially via WhatsApp. Great communication and service. They always provided the meet and greet service which makes it less of a worry especially if you have kids. Food is terrific. Staff check our flight gates on departure and assist with directions to our respective gates.

Very pleasant stay at Dubai international hotel. We stayed there during our 18 hours layover at the airport. The room was very comfy. Super comfortable bed, a very nice bathroom, well lit. The staff was very professional as well. I had a relaxing massage from the spa! A 10/10 for me!

Excellent stay in very comfortable, quiet and good sized room. Friendly staff and great amenities. Great to be able to book for just a few hours on a layover. The meet and greet service is fantastic, taking the stress out of trying to find the hotel in a busy terminal after a long flight. Will definitely stay here again, and highly recommend this hotel

We stayed here with family for a long stopover at Dubai. Spacious room, clean and full of amenities. Highly recommend to stay here if you are travelling with family or couples. It’s good affordable option for 3-6 hrs of stay.

Attentive staff, went to pick us up from the gates. The rooms are new and modern so are the bathrooms. Clean and spacious. Very nice place to make your layover. A bit pricey but nice. Recommended.

A very peaceful and relaxing stay overnight inside Dubai Airport. I was very pleasantly surprised with the Dubai International Hotel. It far exceeded my expectations. I stayed in a Junior Suite, which was quite spacious with 3 rooms and 2 bathrooms inside the suite. The rooms were fit out to a high standard, the A/C worked very well and was easy to control, the bed was very comfortable, there was a nice shower and bathtub. The rooms are well maintained and clean. The rooms and hallways are very peaceful and quiet. The staff were very professional and well trained. This hotel seems to be very well managed, like the high standards travelers can expect in Dubai in general. Staying in a Junior Suite, staff from the hotel greeted me outside of my flight’s landing gate and walked me to the hotel. All food and drink was complementary, including alcohol. The staff enthusiastically invited me to eat and drink probably more than I needed. There is also a small fitness center, a jacuzzi and steam room, and a spa that provides massages but I didn’t utilize those. I’m thankful that I stayed overnight this this hotel and I will definitely return in the future. It made my whole trip so much more pleasant and relaxing by being able to stay overnight in this nice airport hotel.

We arrived after a long 14 hour flight, to the wonderful and lovely Simran, who helped us get our kids and belongings from the gate to the hotel. Upon checking in, we were given 2 connecting suites complementary, 1 of which was a large corner suite that was very large and even included a large massage chair that was exceptional! This stay exceeded our expectations and the staff, most of all Simran, were very friendly and outgoing. We will stay here every time we have a layover in Dubai airport! Amazing experience!

I was a little skeptical about airport hotels and services which I have seen in the past but I was wrong about this one. The room n the service was amazing 👏. I would definitely prefer to stay again. Everything in the room was top notch. Especially when requested a crib for the baby was immediately provided.

Service is good, staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are nice and clean. My only huge concern is the tiles in the bathroom and shower are extremely slippery. My colleague fell this morning and had to go to the clinic for x-rays. The hotel needs to do something about how slippery the tiles are in the shower. It's a real concern.

I found myself needing a place to stay for the night when my next flight was changed to the following morning. Thankfully I was able to get a reservation here and get to Terminal 3. (FYI If you find yourself in that situation. If you're in Terminal 2, then book a reservation on your phone and then security will let you take the bus to Terminal 3 where the hotel is. Top floors.) Check in was great, professional, and efficient. The room was fantastic. I ordered room service and had a fantastic gnocchi dish that my taste buds were thanking me for. It was great to just relax in my room and spend the night there. All in all, fantastic service and a great hotel.

If I could give it 10 stars I would! We were picked up and zoomed across to the hotel right after disembarking, and felt like royalty! The rooms are pristine and very spacious. The staff are so friendly and helpful! We are stopped over for 21hrs and I just might start opting for a longer stop over and continue booking into the hotel in future - it breaks up the journey so nicely and we get to have a comfortable rest before our connecting flight. The rooms provide every amenity you would need, along with robes and slippers. 10/10 ✨️ highly recommended!

Whether you make your reservation online or in person when you get there, this is awesome for someone who has a tad change to spend... The prices are hefty to say the least... This is expected since it is the only hotel in the airport.. service was great and the rooms are pretty decent and very clean! When I was there, room service was unavailable and of course there are no extra ordinary views. If you can leave the airport, I'd recommend getting a hotel outside but if you can't avoid it and can afford the hefty fees, then it will be worth it.

Warning: in terminal B there is checkin on the East and West sides of the hotel. The East side is on the upper floor. The East side elevator is not working and there are no signs saying you must check in on the West side. Oy. Really? Why can’t you guys put up a sign saying TURN LEFT FOR CHECK IN at the exit from the elevator? Dragging yourself and your bags to the wrong side of the hotel (it stretches over 400 meters) and back to the far side is irritating. We customers just want to check in, not tour every square meter if the hotel. Just put up a sign directing us to the functioning check-in site. Is that so complicated? Other than the disorganized management the rooms are nice and convenient and there’s a small gym and tiny pool and hot tub by appointment.

In December, we stayed there for transit between Warsaw and Zanzibar and it was a really pleasant stay. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The food was really good.

I had a great spa treatment by messeu therapist Fe at the timeless spa at the terminal 3 hotel. I works recommend the massage before or after a long flight especially if you have 2-3, hours lay over.

Cheapest service in high price. I disliked the staff (receptionist) from the start - I had reserved one double room containing one double bed 1 week in advance. But when I reached hotel, the receptionist told me that he doesn't have a vacant room with one double bed - instead he wanted to give me one double room with two separate single beds. When I insisted that I had already booked double bed 1 week in advance, finally he gave me double bed. Second we (I, my wife and 3 years old child) were too much tired after having 4.5 hours night flight and searching hotel for 1 hour at the Dubai Airport, I requested the receptionist that a person should accompany us to show us the room and carry our bags. The receptionist refused my request even on my insistence. Even ordinary hotels provide this service mostly without asking - looks like Dubai Terminal hotel is just a cheap hotel who are just ripping customers because this is their only option if a person has to stay within the Airport terminal. Worst experience considering that I had paid 200 USD for my 13 hours stay. Had shared my review on booking.com, thought to share it here as well because my experience was pure disappointment.

My Mom and Dad were flying by themselves from Canada to India and they had 22 hour layover in Dubai. I booked them a executive suite which come with a added bonus of meet and greet service from the aircraft itself. They have breakfast, lunch and dinner included in the price. The Hotel staff was very helpful from the moment parents landed in dubai till they boarded theiraircraft. Thank you for the great Service Guys. Keep up the good work.

Worse hotel, this is first time I feel like a homeless. I want to drop my luggage to the hotel then going out to Dubai enjoying the new year. Then I face difficulties for the check in, they said if you want to check inn you can't go out of the airport. So I decide to go out then making the check in at the end of the day. When I get back again they said you have to check in to the flight first then you come to the hotel. I get the boarding pass, then finally they inform me there is no way to reach the hotel. If you want to feel like you're paying for nothing just book at this hotel

My wife and I arrived at Dubai International Airport mid-journey, sleep-deprived, and disenchanted at the prospect of a nine-hour layover. Fearful of becoming Viktor Navorski, we decided to stay in the airport hotel, something neither of us had done before. How was it? Well, let’s start with the bathroom, which was spotless and generously stocked. Expect a neat stack of clean towels, both solid and liquid soap, a dental kit, and a hairdryer. There’s also a phone in there, hanging on the wall next to the toilet, which I’d rather have and not need than need and not have: “Hello, housekeeping? Could you spare a square?” Very nice. The rest of the room was clean and surprisingly spacious. An elongated counter (sitting on an empty mini-fridge, a safe, and some drawers) stretched from one end of the room to the other, facing a futon too firm for anyone to comfortably sleep on. Snoop around and you’ll find a couple of robes, disposable slippers, and other welcoming items lying around, including complimentary tea, coffee, and bottled drinking water, of course. Although it was off when we came in, the air conditioning brought the temperature down to a chill in no time. The bed was large, luxurious, and comfortable. A master switch, which turned all the lights off at once, protruded from the wall, hanging right above the nightstand. Sounds all well and good, but what’s the catch, you ask? The answer lies within your bank account. By the time you pay for this room, it might be the only thing in it. The rates were unreasonably high, rendering any good deal obtained from the duty-free trivial. We’re talking Four Seasons money here. Parting ways with that kind of cash for something as basic and as boring as this was painful. Still, it did the job. In other words, we managed to sleep, if only for a handful of hours. It remains, to this day, the most expensive nap either of us has ever taken. If you’re struggling to stay awake, physically unable to keep your eyes open, and behaving like a narcoleptic ghoul, go ahead. If not, stick it out and wait for boarding. Also, word to the wise: don’t rely on hotel staff for information regarding your flight. That’s what departure boards are for. We learned that the hard way.

Very conveniently located within Terminal3, easy to access. Very well maintained and packed with multiple amenities. We stayed during 14hrs stopover flight in Dubai.

Excellent hotel with all the amenties in place.Staff are super helpful and the food is awesome.Rooms are super spacious and well maintained and properly sanitized

I did not get the chance to use their facilities as my ticket was cancelled. So, I applied for a cancellation and refund. The staff was really helpful throughout the refund process and stayed in constant touch.

Not at the bar with any five star in Dubai. However it does the job and it's very convenient. Highly recommended if you have an early flight and still want a decent night.

Location: The location of this hotel is located at Dubai International Airport exactly inside of Terminal 3. first when you see you can't believe that this building is the hotel. it looks like the part of the airport. so easy to get everything like food and shopping, just go down and you can see a lot of stores. about the gate, no worry in front of this hotel is the gate. Room: I stay in this hotel from 7 AM until the next 2 AM. the room no doubt is clean and with modern design, I love the scene that they use for the hotel. the bed so comfortable, after a long flight, and sleep here so good. and the bathroom so clean, they have complete amnesties. everything that you want while you traveling this hotel has it. Facility: Let's talk about the facility you never imagine they have in this hotel. first of all like other hotels they also have a gym area. if you boring with the gym they have an indoor swimming pool too, a sauna area, jacuzzi. and you can't believe that everything they have is inside of the airport, this is so amazing. Food: I didn't try their breakfast but I tried their room service. mutton biryani, so tasty and big portion. even when my food already cold and I asked them to reheat it the staff brings me a microwave to my room. wow, this is my first experience in which the hotel bring a microwave to me. Service or Staff: the staff no doubt, they're so professional and do their great job, so welcome. I asked them to make a wake-up call due to my flight and they call me until I wake up and pick up their call, so appreciate the staff.

Dubai International Hotel inside the International Terminal complex is the best place to rest if you have a long layover at Dubai. Yes it is a bit expensive if compared to any regular hotel but its inside the airport that means you dont have to worry about transit visa, immigration and security check-ins. The hotel charges based on duration of stay. For 6 hrs they charge around $150, similarly for 8 hrs, 12 hrs and above they have various charges. The rooms are well kept nothing less than any upscale 4/5 star hotel rooms. They provide all basic amenities in room like enough packaged drinking water for 2 people, coffee makers etc. For quick rest and sleep this is highly recommended, better than the pods.
