I needed a room for a respite during an 18-hour layover in Dubai. I wanted peace and quiet, but also close to the airport. I was unfamiliar with this hotel. I found it by a web search for hotels near Dubai airport. The deciding factor was its relatively good rate for my short stay. So I took a chance on it. On arrival at the hotel early in the morning (way before normal check-in time) and bone tired after an all-night flight, I was greeted warmly and shown every consideration. I asked for a quiet, dark room. And that is exactly what I got. And even though I was checking in many hours before the normal time, there was no delay or reluctance in showing me to my room straight away. The room itself was everything I needed and so dark with the curtains closed that I could not see without turning on a light. After a refreshing morning nap I had a fine lunch at the in-house Italian restaurant. The service was great as was the food. I went back to the room for another undisturbed though shorter nap after lunch. Later in the afternoon, on the consierge's advice and via the hotel shuttle, I visited some shops and restaurants on nearby Dubai Creek. It was a beautiful day and wonderful walkng outside in the sun. I had a light supper and returned to the hotel to get ready for my flight that evening. All in all, this was a very pleasant experience and, importantly, a restful one. I'd definitely stay here again.

This is an excellent option for your Dubai stopover or business trip. The hotel is located very close to the airport - you could see the tarmac and terminal from our room - but there was no aircraft noise.
We booked a Club Rotana room which gave us access to the lounge, internet, overseas and local mags and newspapers, an excellent supper including complimetary alcohol - woo hoo.
The staff were all very friendly, and the concierge gave me a great tip - if going to Deira City Centre Shopping Mall, catch the free bus back to the hotel, as the taxi queue is ridiculous (several hundred people!!). Great tip as it got me back to my hotel in time for late checkout and flight.
I cannot comment on the restaurants as we used the lounge for both breakfast and dinner. Nor can I comment on the recreational facilities - too busy being out and about.
The room was very large with big windows and was well equipped. The bathroom was a little daggy, but just a bit too much gold for my taste??

The hotel offered great location for the airport and Deira - as traffic is such a nightmare - and is excellent value for money. I only have good things to say about our stay.

The Al Bustan Rotana Hotel was a gorgeous, clean hotel with an incredible breakfast buffet on offer every day. The staff were extremely helpful and assisted in the booking of trips.

The rooms were clean and well maintained throughout our stay. Service by the pool was second to none with cold towels and face spritzers on offer for free.

My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would def stay again.

This is a great hotel to stay in. It has been recently refurbished and so everything is brand new and very modern. its simply an amazing stay and also its less than 5 min,. away from the airport. and its right in the middle of dubai!
My only compaint is that like all other Rotana hotels the internet is Extremely expensive and therefore makes it really hard to even check your email.
