Dubai is full of airport hotels. The best explanation for this is that the Dubai International Airport is right in the middle of the city of Dubai. By this, it might cross several air-traffic security regulations but so does Los Angeles Airport, so it means not that a big problem. Let us see how we can categorise the airport hotels of Dubai.

Dubai International Airport supports the fact that it is close to the city. Several buses, the Dubai Metro and the taxis are there to take you to several directions arriving in less then 10 minutes. That is why many people who would like to save money will book their hotels in Deira, which is a busy older part of Dubai, practically full of airport hotels. These hotels are located in either Al Rigga or in the Garhoud quarter. Al Rigga is busier than Al Garhoud is, and mainly Indians inhabit Al Rigga although several Indian nationality schools are also located in Al Garhoud. The best quality airport hotels are located around the huge shopping centre of Deira called Deira City Centre. You can find around 30 hotels in its area. You can choose from many different sorts of hotels in Deira.

First, there is the “real” airport hotel out of which two is located in the area of the airport. These are the best for those who are on hold or have to wait for more than 4 hours. These hotels charge every six hours and there is chance for a great shower as well for passengers without rooms. There are not many of these hotels, the closest hotels to the Airport are located around Terminal 1 and 3. These hotels are normally very expensive but offer quality service. Those who want a much cheaper choice of accommodation choose the second category. The cheap Indian airport hotels out of which many clearly also function as brothels. These are perfect for males who are out to party. One hotel can accommodate even three in-house nightclubs, so it is good for a night out but definitely not for families or female travellers. Therefore, it is very important to check out a hotel thoroughly if you read that it is in Deira or in the Al Rigga Street. Some guides and agencies do not supply the real information on these hotels. So look carefully.

Other category, which is more and more famous even for airport hotels of Dubai, is the apartment hotel. More and more apartment hotels are opening just like the Rihab Rotana which although a hotel has kitchenette in its rooms. The high category hotels are also quite common for airport hotels. The two Le Meridien hotels both serving as airport hotels are high quality hotels with great services. These are great not only for stopover passengers but also ideal for corporate tours and for city travellers.

Normally we call a hotel airport hotel, which is a more simplified version of a resort with all the basic services but without that extra. A good airport hotel has a non-stop reception and have rooms available non-stop for late night arrivals. The quality of hotel service especially when it comes to check-in means a growing concern for western passengers as in Dubai its normal for hotels to say a room is ready then upon arrival. You need to wait 3 hours for a room to be given out to you. This will eventually mean a big harm for tourist industry of Dubai if the service quality remains unchanged. Other category is the business hotel that is concentrating on corporate arriving in Dubai. The last category of airport hotels in Dubai is the Halal Muslim hotels, represented by the two hotels of Al Jawhara hotel chain. These hotels are the best for Muslims, in order to avoid contact with drinking and the sight of half-naked tourists.

We hope that we could give you a good basic idea on the quality and quantity of airport hotels in Dubai. Although not many hotels in town call themselves “airport hotels” but thanks to their closeness, they are of great help for stopover or transit passengers who need a little rest while waiting.
