Dream Palace Hotel

I liked its proximity to the Dubai International Airport. It's ideal for extended layovers. It's not too far from the Dubai Mall, and for those who don't want to take the taxi to the mall, the Reef Mall is right behind this hotel. There are a few restaurant options in the area, too. But either way, you can get anywhere quickly and cheaply in Dubai via taxi. The staff has been really kind both times I've passed through and stayed at the hotel. Its simple, for sure - nothing fancy and not a place for romance or families, necessarily - but a convenient spot for travelers.
