We were returning from Bangkok to Malta and had a 8 hour stop over in Bangkok. So we decided last minute to use the hotel and just walked in to enquire about a room.

The hotel is situated right in the terminal and you do not have to leave the airport.

Check-in seemed slow but took no more than 10 mins including waiting time but it seemed longer as we were tired.

We had flown business class on the new emirates plane and had the fully flat reclining bed but we were still eager for a real bed and a good sleep before the next factor.

The hotel was very expensive around USD$290 for 6 hours for a twin room. That equates to $1200 per room per night.

I think it is best to look at booking this hotel ahead especially if you want to use it more than just a couple of hours.

We were shown up to the room by a porter and were very pleased to find that our room was totally soundproofed. Quite large hotel room, very large bathroom, bathrobes, slippers, lots of products and towels in the bathroom and a big LCD TV.

We simply showered got into bed and slept for around 5 hours. My partner woke 30 mins earlier than I did to use the hotel pool and do a few laps.

I woke up made some coffee which is supplied free as well as a fruit basked, showered again and then dressed to leave.

We walked outside and remembered where we were right in the terminal and saw all of the people trying to sleep on benches and the floor and suddenly the money we had spent did not look that extravagant.

I would not bother with it for just a couple of hours but it is good for when you have longer stopovers and if you can afford it!
