actually I was a walk in customer, the hotel is very conveniently located (3rd floor of the transit terminal, 2nd fl are the departure gates and 1st floor duty free)

paid about US$40 per hour (this was during the low usage hours already) and stayed for 3

the check in desk was quite inefficient for the price they charge, they had 3 behind the desk and it took over 5 minutes for someone to help me even though there was only one other couple in line ahead of myself

I did feel sorry for the girl behind the desk when she told me that she was finally going home for a holiday and has not seen her family for two days.

the rooms are clean and mine had a view over one of the airport restaurants, the basket of fruits looked tempting but I conked out immediately for a few precious hours of sleep in a real bed

in sum, not a bad place if you have a long transit, beats wandering the shops or passing out on a chair elsewhere in the terminal

p.s. the Dubai airport is very modern but also very very busy, this was my 2nd time there and I have a feeling they are running out of capacity coz there are other pockets of inefficiencies unexpected of an airport like Dubai's
