Transiting through Dubai and needed an overnight stay, so I booked a hotel near the airport.
After exiting Terminal 3, I followed the 'hotel shuttle bus' signs which led me to a parking lot to wait for the shuttle. My friend and I landed in the evening, went to the Burj Khalifa first, and then caught the last metro back to the airport. By the time we got to the shuttle parking, it was already past midnight. To be honest, there weren't any signs in the parking lot indicating which hotels provided shuttles, where they'd stop, or at what times. It made me quite doubtful if I was even waiting in the right spot in the middle of the night. I called the hotel, and the front desk just told me to wait, assuring me the bus would arrive within half an hour. It ended up taking about 25 minutes for the shuttle to arrive. They mentioned that the schedule isn't fixed, but it comes roughly every half hour – it felt quite random.
The room was reasonably clean, but the bathroom furnishings were a bit basic. There wasn't a bath mat in the shower, and the only towels provided were bath towels; no hand towels for your face either.
Breakfast wasn't particularly lavish, but it had all the essentials.
Overall, it was neither particularly good nor bad. As an overnight hotel for a layover, the value for money was decent.
