Reviews from guests about their experience.

United Kingdom, February 2025

6.6/10

I had a mixed experience at Holiday Inn Express Dubai Airport. The staff were friendly and helpful, making check-in a breeze. However, I found the room to be quite basic, with some cleanliness issues and a need for refurbishment. The hotel is conveniently near the airport with a free shuttle service, although not the best location for sightseeing. Overall, it served its purpose for a short stay, but I wish there had been better communication regarding breakfast arrangements. 😕✈️

The room was pretty basic and clean, but it could use some updates. During my first room allocation, I received two single beds instead of a double but the staff promptly changed it. The cleanliness could have been better.

The check-in process went smoothly despite the long lines, and I was greeted warmly as an IHG Gold Elite member. The room was decent and clean, but I was disappointed by a lack of water bottles. Breakfast was a highlight with a good buffet selection. However, some minor issues with cleanliness and inconsistencies in amenities were present.
