This was not the first time we spent a night in this hotel. The hotel is very close (right opposite) to the airport (DXB Terminal 3), but you should not think you can simply cross the road (the motorway). No way! Take a taxi (26 AED from DXB T3 to the hotel) or use the hotel's free shuttle bus instead. The shuttle bus departs every whole hour (i.e. 8:00, 9:00, etc.) from the hotel and 10-12 minutes later (i.e. 8:10, 9:10, etc.) from the airport. Just follow the hotel shuttle bus sign! But I am not sure if the shuttle bus is also available at night. Another feature of the hotel is the excellent breakfast that satisfies all needs and tastes. We really appreciated that breakfast was available from 6 am, so we didn't have to miss breakfast (which was included in the price) and we were able to catch our plane without rushing because the hotel provided the shuttle bus also at 6:30. It was very kind from the hotel.

Just two small remarks: 1 - we noticed that the wall-to-wall carpets in the hallways were very much worn. A good hotel like this should pay attention to the apprearance. 2 - In January, the air conditioning in the hotel was slightly exaggerated.

Friendly staff, proximity to the airport, the presence of a travel agent to provide fast assistance to tourists. Reasonably priced.

Lack of some amenities in the bathroom (ex. shower cap, cotton buds, floor towel, slippers) although maybe you can request these but we did not try.

The property has complimentary airport shuttle every 30 minutes 24/7, the shuttle also goes to the mall and the beach. There are shops and restaurant on the same block if you don’t want to eat at the hotel and when you need basic things. Their complimentary breakfast is continental. The WiFi works perfectly. My room had 2 beds,mini bar, tv, closet with light and a prayer mat, table and chair and a bathroom. The staff is friendly and were helpful whenever I was in need. There is also information desk for tourists.

The shuttle to the mall only goes after 10:00am

Location

The airport pick up was confusing. The driver seemed to be in a hurry. I had to run with the cart to the parking spot. It was not made clear that someone will pick you up and there was no need to panic in the heat. Waiting in the heat could have been avoided.

The location is close to the airport. Free shuttle departs form terminal 3, but I have found it difficult to find the bus. The breakfast is good.

The towels were not perfectly clean. The room is OK for the money. Free shuttle to the dubal mall is just once per day 10.30 am. I wasn't mentioned on the website.

free transport from airport

Breakfast was good, withany choices. Location is quite far to destinations but accessible with public transportation like Metro.

The experience was good, however, the first date of check-in, we suffered the smokers scent in the room for the whole night, though we booked and specifically asked for a non-smoking room and a large bed, until the manager accomodated and assisted us the following day. The place is always fully book, so, advisory to other travellers is to ensure that the room given before leaving the counter, is as what is requested. Because, even we asked , they still gave the smoking allowed room and later on, there is no more available room.

I had a very pleasant stay at the Holiday Inn Express Dubai Airport. The location is ideal—just a few minutes from the airport, which made my travel so much easier. They also offer a complimentary shuttle service, which was very convenient. The dinner and breakfast selections were fair and had enough variety to suit different tastes. For the price, it’s definitely great value for money. A special thanks to Yousef at the front desk who handled my check-in—he was very accommodating, professional, and made me feel welcome right away. Would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient stop near the airport.

Close to Terminal 3 and a metro station, this is a good place to stay for a reasonable cost. The room was clean and staff helpful. The breakfast was also good and if you pre-book, you get a discount if you want dinner. The metro station is on the red line, just a short walk and easy to use if you want to visit central Dubai. The hotel also operates a free and reliable shuttle bus service. Just look for the signs for before exiting the terminal marked Shuttle Bus - you cross the road and go through a walkway. At the end, turn left and you will see the buses lined up.

Bathroom a bit dated. Not a criticism but the hotel does not have a pool - so it is fine for a short stay but if want to relax outside there is not much to do.
