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. 😕✈️

I had a layover night at Holiday Inn Express Dubai Airport, and overall, the experience was pleasant. 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.

My stay at Holiday Inn Express Dubai Airport was a mixed experience. On the one hand, the location was incredibly convenient, with a complimentary shuttle service to terminal 3. The front desk staff were helpful, and the room was clean with a comfortable bed. However, I experienced issues with soundproofing between connecting rooms, which disrupted my sleep, and the long wait time for the shuttle buses was frustrating.
