Millennium Dubai Airport Hotel - Dubai, United Arab Emirates 

Nice Hotel - Especially for a freebie
Posted: Mon, Jun 25 2007
We were delayed for 24 hours in Dubai on our return trip from the Maldives and Emirates put us up in the Millenium. Emirates have a wing of the hotel reserved for them with their own check in/customer services and buffet restaurant. The hotel is about 10 mins by mini bus from the airport with transfers running every 30 minutes. Very nice rooms - with comfortable beds. Buffet was very good - we were given vouchers for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner plus light refreshments. Soft drinks were included in the buffet, alcohol is not - Alcoholic drinks are a bit on the pricey side as I found out when I ordered a couple of beers!!! On the negative side - we asked for our cases to be sent on to the hotel so that we had a change of clothes and washing gear for our stay. My wifes case arrived 6 hours later but mine never made it despite several phone calls to Emirates Customer Services and direct to the baggage handlers at Dubai Airport. Spending 48 hours in jeans and t shirt without a change of clothes in 40deg c termperatures is not the most pleasant experience. Although cant mark the hotel down for this. So if you get delayed in Dubai and get told you are off to the Millenium Hotel dont fear - it is not a bad experience at all.

12 hrs Free Transit Stay

My wife and three kids were traveling with Emirates and they had a whole day to catch the next connecting flight at Dubai airport. At the time of booking after my inquiry Emirates booked them a room in this hotel. Changing flight was costing me $150 per ticket so the lady from Emirates solved my problem. Before departure from JFK they gave them a voucher that included (free lunch, free refreshments and free stay). The hotel shuttle provided the pick and drop. They also gave me the telephone number for the hotel so that I can call my family once they are there. Anyway I also got the number and looked the hotel webpage. The hotel is across the airport. The pick and drop service was good and safe. The hotel room was clean and had all the necessary stuff in the bathroom. The free food voucher does not mean a full lunch or dinner. It mostly included snacks and sandwiches and juices. You cannot get water on this voucher. Water you have to buy on your own. There was one water bottle in the room. The staff was helpful and polite and I believe many travellers and foreigners stay there for one reason or the other so they know their duties well. When I called my family I got a prompt response. I would recommend Emirates also for traveling as this was our first experience with them and we got an excellent service. They have clean and new airplanes and great meals and entertainment while onboard. They were helpful at all stages of booking, boarding and inquiries to my concerns. My main concern was safety and a clean room so that my family can stay and rest and they got that. So this hotel was excellent from this perspective.

Way above your normal AIrport Inn

I was responsible for organizing the transit of 13 passengers through Dubai (including a night) and the Millennium was very accomodating. From the first time I dealt with the sales team until I checked out the following day. What a great experience. The rooms are cheaper than many of the other hotels in the vicinity and for transit needs it was perfect. The pool is need of work but the manager explained that they are getting ready to open a new wing which will have all brand new sport and leisure facilities. My room was a Deluxe King and was very comfortable with a couch and small coffee table. The bathroom probably needed updating but it was clean and served its purpose. The amenities on the property are fantastic. Biggles English Pub is a perfect place for a drink or to watch your favorite sporting event. Da Vinci's Italian was where my entire group had dinner and even for Dubai - the price was very reasonable. Cactus Jack's is a SouthWest Grill and was packed the night I stayed. For the money and the amount of time I spent at this hotel - they could do no wrong. Its very convenient to Terminal 1 with free transport to and from. The Millennium is right across the street from one of the Rotana properties and is literally half the price. I have nothing bad to say about this place. If you are expecting 5-star luxury then you may want to search elsewhere but if you need a great location with everything you could want - this is the place for you.
