Premier Inn Dubai International Airport

The breakfast was fresh with good selections. Few local items were well selected. Free shuttle service and proximity to the airport makes it a slam-dunk choice.

It's really good value for the price.

Nice Hotel - Horrible Internet

Very friendly and helpful staff. Conveniently located right across from the airport. Felt relatively new and was clean.

The hotel had very slow wifi internet. In my room, I never got speeds above about 200kbps. To get faster speeds, I had to go into the hallway or to the lobby. Even there, however, I rarely broke 500kbps. Since I was there for work - and needed to stay connected with my coworkers - this was a severe handicap. Moreover, the speeds were too slow to reliably stream Netflix or similar services. This limited the entertainment options since the TV only had a couple of channels in each of the major languages (besides Arabic).

Premier Dubai is very close to the International Airport and the free shuttle made it very convenience and easy to use. The room was clean, comfortable and very western in set-up. I especially liked that there were international sockets in the wall, so it was very convenient to power up the devices that I had with plugs from two different countries. The 24 hour light meal and snack bar gave me the option of a quick meal late after night after returning from being out in Dubai all day. The staff was incredibly friendly and very helpful! The tour agent was able to pull together a personal walking/taxi tour for me to do on my own, and seeing the highlights made my extended layover in Dubai a wonderful experience.
