Staybridge Suites Dubai Al-Maktoum Airport by IHG

I had an amazing one-night stay, before my next flight. Everything about it was fantastic! The apartment was spotless, the beds were firm yet incredibly comfortable, I slept like a baby. The free shuttle to the airport was super convenient, and the breakfast buffet? Absolutely delicious, with plenty of options to start the day right. The only hiccup was not finding a Type-C charger for my iPhone. They only had USB ports, and the front desk couldn’t help charge my phone, so I had to pop over to the Holiday Inn across the street, where they kindly helped me out. It was a bit of an inconvenience, but honestly, everything else about my stay more than made up for it. I’d definitely stay here again – it was a great experience overall!

Location is a bit out of the way, but there is a shuttle bus four times a day to various locations. I chose this location as my daughter and her family live in Dubai South. The staff are very helpful. Housekeeping is second to none. Nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast area is huge and the variety of food to choose from is immense. Swimming pool was quiet on weekdays. The rooms are big, clean and quiet.

I'm delighted to share my positive experience with the staffs at Staybridge Hotel Dubai Al Maktoum and Holiday Inn Dubai Al Maktoum, with a special shoutout to two exceptional individuals: Aida from Staybridge and April from Holiday Inn. These two individuals truly went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and requests. Aida's proactive approach to search our first room that is aligned to our needs showcased her dedication to guest comfort and preferences. Likewise, April's attentive assistance in swiftly arranging a new room (second room) closer to the lift showed her commitment to ensuring a seamless experience, especially with our luggage. Their personalized service truly made our stay memorable, reflecting the outstanding hospitality of both hotels. Moreover, their dedication to guest satisfaction is truly commendable...

the value for money, the suite is spacious and very well equipped, the hotel has great amenities, and the room price is very well designed to cover the cons

We absolutely loved everything about the hotel: the facilities, the staff, the cleanliness, the breakfast. The pool was very pleasant and there was a lifeguard present during the opening hours. The staff was all extremely helpful and very polite, from the front desk to the cleaning staff. Breakfast had a good variety, catering to different cultures and considering dietary restrictions as well. The apartment itself was big, clean and well furnished. The bed was incredibly comfortable. The kitchen did not have all the ustensiles you may need, but it was decently equipped. We didn't have a washing machine in the apartment (as opposed to a different hotel from the same chain that I visited in Dubai earlier in the year), but there was a self-serve laundry facility in the hotel. Internet speed was good as well. We knew the location was very far away from Dubai city center. The free shuttle bus would leave 4 times a day (8 AM, 10 AM, 12 PM and 2 PM). I recommend you book one day before, we had one day when too many people showed up and there was not enough room on the bus, so those without a booking could not ride. We never grabbed the free shuttle back to the hotel though. We used to take it to the first stop, where we grabbed the metro at Dubai Investments Park. Unlimited 7 day metro card was great value for money.
