Premier Inn Dubai International Airport

Very friendly and welcoming staff.
Starting with the shuttle Bus driver who picks you up at the airport, the bell boy at the door, the front desk check in, the room cleaning guy, the restraunt staff all very freindly and glad that you are staying with them.
Please keep up this spirit. Great stay over all. Brkfst was very good - kids eat free.
Caution: Do not use tours from SAADI tours the agents hang around the front desk and lure you with discounted prices - however the tours are a sham. Use other tour companies like paradise tours the front desk would be glad to call for you.

Unique Quality: Very friendly and welcoming staff.

Bus picks you up from airport opposite arrivals area in bus lane. Quick check-in (payment is up front which is nice and easy and saves "extras" being added to your bill that you have to go back and argue about later.
