My stay at Holiday Inn Dubai Al-Maktoum Airport was a mix of positives and negatives. I really appreciated the convenient location near the airport and the smooth shuttle service. but the check-in process was frustratingly slow and disorganized. Overall, it was a decent experience with some enjoyable elements.

The room I stayed in was fairly spacious, but it lacked charm and had an outdated feel. The tiled floor and old bathroom infrastructure didn't quite give me the cozy vibe I hoped for.

Service

Service was hit or miss for me. While the staff at the front desk seemed overwhelmed during check-in. I did receive a clean room, which was a plus.

Location

The hotel is conveniently close to Dubai Expo, which was perfect for my needs. However, it is quite far from other attractions in Dubai, making it less ideal for a tourist stay.

We had dinner, but I found the meal to be quite overpriced for what I received. I only enjoyed the chicken and rice since the variety didn't cater much to my tastes.

Service levels were subpar across the board. I had to constantly remind staff for basic amenities and my laundry didn't return after requesting it. Reception was not welcoming, and I found it frustrating to access my IHG member benefits.

I had a mixed experience at the Holiday Inn Dubai Al-Maktoum Airport. While the hotel is clean and offers nice facilities like a gym and parking, I encountered several issues with room service and organization during check-in. The location is great if you're close to the airport, but the amenities in my room were lacking initially.

Rooms

The room was decent and clean, but I had to ask multiple times for essential items like towels and toiletries. It was annoying to wait for over 30 minutes for these basic amenities.

The front desk staff could use more training. I found the check-in process to be disorganized and had to deal with unresponsive staff during my stay. However, there were a few friendly faces, like Nizar, who brightened my experience.

I stayed at Holiday Inn Dubai Al-Maktoum Airport for four nights. While the spacious and clean rooms were a plus, check-in was pretty slow, and the location wasn't ideal if you want to hit the city attractions quickly. However, I appreciated the complimentary shuttle services offered to key locations.

My Standard King Room with a city view was spacious and clean, but it could use a little more personality.

The staff was friendly, especially the lifeguard and the kitchen staff. However, the check-in process was chaotic and could use better organization.

Location

It's really close to the Expo 2020 site, which was convenient, but it's quite a trek to reach other popular Dubai attractions.

Dining

The breakfast buffet offered a fair amount of choices, but was super busy. The evening buffet was just okay-we only had it once out of necessity.

Facilities

The pool is decent and would definitely benefit from more sun loungers. I also noted the various services like dry cleaning and grocery shopping, but the overall space felt a bit outdated.
