The 230 rooms are outfitted in the brand's typical purple decor, with sufficient amenities such as free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, kettles, air-conditioning, and mini-fridges. Rooms, however, are on the small side. This is also the case for the outdoor pool, adjacent hot tub, and gym with a few cardio machines and free weights. A Costa Coffee is in the lobby and an all-day Mediterranean restaurant receives positive reviews. The Arabian Park Hotel is closer to downtown and the airport, and it has cheaper rates and a bigger pool.

Scene
Generic chain hotel in quiet, removed setting
The Premier Inn is a typical representation of the mid-range chain, with clean and contemporary interiors and little personality. Expect a pleasant, albeit dated, look of medium-tone wood furniture, gray-carpeted hallways, and pops of the brand's trademark purple in accent walls, signage, and bed runners. The hotel tends to attract business travelers due to its location in Silicon Oasis, near Academic City, though families and couples looking for an affordable and reliable spot can also be found here. Free shuttles to major sights are convenient. A small pool and fitness center, plus a tasty restaurant are welcome amenities, though guests generally spend their days off-site.
Location
Removed from tourist sights but near Academic City
The property is removed from major tourist sights, set in the industrial Silicon Oasis area. Academic City, home to a few universities, is an eight-minute drive away. Downtown Dubai, where travelers will find the Dubai Mall and towering Burj Khalifa, is about a 20-minute drive, while Mall of the Emirates is roughly 30 minutes away by car. Palm Jumeirah and Jumeirah Beach are also around a 30-minute drive. There are only a handful of restaurants and ships in the immediate area, so guests largely need transportation. Fortunately, free shuttles are provided to major sights such as Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates, and Academic City. Dubai International Airport is 20 minutes away by car.
Rooms
Quiet, low-frills rooms with all the basics
The 230 rooms here are all done in a similar style that's standard for the Premier Inn brand. Expect speckled purple carpeting, basic wood furniture with minimal wear, and purple bed runners, headboards, artwork, and armchairs. On the downside, rooms are largely compact. Still, rooms are quiet and come with all the necessary amenities, including free Wi-Fi, desks, flat-screen TVs, wardrobes with safes, tea- and coffee-making facilities, and hairdryers. Mostly white bathrooms have shower/tub combos, bidets, and wall-dispensed toiletries. Family Rooms can house two adults and two children.
Features
Small rooftop pool with adjacent hot tub and gym, plus a tasty restaurant
Although most guests of the Premier Inn spend their days off-site, there is a small and pleasant mosaic-tiled rooftop pool. The deck also has a small whirlpool, cushioned loungers, and dining tables under umbrellas. Also on this level is a small gym, which is equipped with a few cardio machines, free weights, all-in-one weight machine, towels, and free bottled water.The all-day Nuevo restaurant serves Mediterranean cuisine that receives positive reviews, while Mr. Toad's Pub & Kitchen is a casual spot with a pool table. Costa Coffee in the lobby is a popular spot for a caffeinated beverage. A 24-hour business center and a meeting room that seats up to 12 people are on-site, and free Wi-Fi is accessible throughout the property.
