- Who it suits
- Budget travellers who want a decent room, a free shuttle and a Metro station beside the hotel.
- Why we would choose it
- One of the cheapest rooms near DXB, with a free shuttle to Terminals 1 and 3 and the Metro 500 m away.
- The compromise
- A budget brand: rooms are small and the walk to the airport is not practical, so you depend on the shuttle. We could not confirm how often it runs.
- Worth paying more?
- Usually not. Pay more for a kitchenette, a bigger room or a pool.
