Premier Inn Dubai International Airport - An Emirates Group Company
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-22.
Worth booking if you want a low-cost, practical base opposite Terminal 3, for a stopover or an early flight. Skip it if you want to be near Dubai's main sights, because the places we measured are 9 km or more away.

This is a 3-star hotel at Dubai's airport. It makes most sense for people whose trip revolves around a flight. The property lists a free airport shuttle, free parking and family rooms, so it also works for families and for drivers who want to leave a car on site. Fees, hours and room availability must be checked for your dates.
It suits less well anyone planning to explore Dubai on foot, or anyone who wants a resort feel. Nothing in our data points to a beach, a view or a walkable neighbourhood. Light sleepers should also read recent guest comments about noise, because we have not assessed it.
Location and getting around
The hotel is in Garhoud, at 52B Street, opposite Terminal 3. We have not verified walking times to the terminal, so confirm the route and the shuttle schedule with the hotel.
For sights, the picture is simple. The 21st Century Tower is 9.1 km away, about 114 minutes on foot. The Dubai Fountain is 10 km away, about 125 minutes on foot. Princess Tower is 27.4 km away, about 343 minutes on foot. These are straight-line estimates, not verified routes. All three are far on foot, so you will need public transport or a taxi for any sightseeing.
What guests say
The guest score is 8.7/10 from roughly 22,800 reviews. That is a large sample, and it puts the hotel joint 6th of 18 eligible properties in our data on review score.
Our data does not include a list of what guests liked or disliked, and there is no separate location score. So we cannot tell you what people praise or complain about. Before booking, scan the most recent reviews for comments on room size, noise and breakfast.
Price and what you get, compared with our other two picks
For 10 to 12 November 2026, for 2 adults in one room, our data shows reference prices of €68.58 and €74.39 per night. Two figures appear in our data and we cannot say which includes taxes or fees. Both are reference prices, not live quotes, so check the final price on the booking page.
Even the higher figure sits far below the sample median of €179.14 a night. The €68.58 figure is 62% below it.
Our Best Value pick, Hotel Local Dubai, Jumeirah Village Triangle, Autograph Collection, is a 4-star scoring 8.8 at €111.29 a night. That is about €37 more than this hotel's higher figure for a score only 0.1 higher. Our Luxury pick, Mileo Hotel The Palm, is a 5-star scoring 9.5 at €231.31, about €157 more per night.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 18 hotels in Dubai. This one is our Budget pick because €68.58 was the lowest eligible reference price once we had reserved the upscale choice. It also has a score of 8.7 from a very large number of reviews, which is rare at this price.
The listed facilities are a gym, a pool, a restaurant, a terrace, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning. That is a solid list for a budget stay, but confirm opening times and any fees.
Before you book
Several things are not confirmed. We have not assessed room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion or cancellation terms. Check each on the booking page.
Also confirm the shuttle's operating hours, whether parking is truly free for your stay, and whether the pool is open when you arrive. Then compare the final total with the reference prices above.
