24 hours check-in hotels Dubai

[Thicko2006]

In the past Mrs Thicko and I have had a stopover in Dubai en route to and from Perth and London, and have paid for one night from the middle of one night to the middle of the next.

The hotel we have stayed at before seems to have changed their policy and want to charge us for 2 nights although we will be staying from about 1am until about midnight.

Does anyone know of any hotels in Dubai which will charge us a 24 hour rate or will they all rip us off for 2 nights?

I can see your point, but technically they're not 'ripping you off', as your stay covers the period of 2 separate charging periods, and so they have a right to charge you for that, as the room would be unavailable for other paying guests for 2 nights. Saying that, a little flexibility and other 'little touches' are what makes a good hotel great.

most hotels ask you to vacate by 11am but you could request a late check out and if the hotel is not busy they will usually oblige. Even if you have to leave your room by 11am you can stretch that to 12 mid day and they are not asking you to leave the premises you can still have use of the pool etc or the coffee shop, store your luggage etc
I lived in Dubai for 14 years and they always treated hotel guests fair and square.

Thank you both for your prompt replies.
