Tower A at Ibn Battuta is 7 or 8 years older than tower B, which was completed over the last couple of years. Having lived in the UAE over the last 7 years I can tell you that the silver bum gun is one of the best items I have found in the UAE and I will definitely be bringing one back to the UK if I ever return. Why use 20 sheets of loo roll, when you can use 2. đ đ
@@jjhatch69 silver bum gun đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł is that their official title? You don't have to go to Dubai to get one. You can have anything delivered straight to your door via the magic of Amazon! Most of my family have it installed in their bathroom in London too.
@PurePeacePower It's the official British name. Even the local English speaking radio programs refer to it as either the SBG or silver bum gun. đ€Ł If I were to use one in the UK, I think I would have a mixer tap to avoid the shock from cold water in the winter. Over here, it's the other way round. The jet is very hot in the summer and has a nice temperature in the winter. Laying pipes in the desert can be a distinct disadvantage for thermal comfort.
Why do you never reveal the prices for your rooms?
Exactly the reason I want a bidet so badly, plus you'd save so many trees!!!@@jjhatch69
Itâs always surprised me how reasonably priced hotel rooms are in Dubai, add to that is the fact that you can eat out relatively cheaply (if youâre sensible) Together with cheap taxis, make Dubai relatively cost effective for a break. This does exclude the cost of airfares to get there though.
Tip there is a duty-free shop at Dubai airport on your arrival. stock up on beers and wines, very reasonable prices compared to what youâll pay in the hotel bars
I would absolutely stay there and especially for that price. The room was fabulous looking, loved how you could block off the bathroom if you wanted to, and the corner room views were stunning. I also like that the breakfast, which looked like a relatively nice spread, was included in the price of your room.
Thanks for taking us along with you, Tim!
Iâve got a booking in this hotel for 2 weeks in July for ÂŁ400!!! Itâs a family room without breakfast but still come on. Thanks for the video now Iâm excited even more đ
I remember looking into this hotel in the past but location was an issue for us as a family.
â@@mumindauk nobody cares!
â@@lukerogers151 speak for yourself
@@mumindaukhope you have a nice time have you been to Dubai before ?
Hi Tim,
Just subscribed yesterday to your channel and watched over 5 hrs.
Love your comprehensive review of the property on various parameters. Keep these videos coming, and include your rating system for value for money analysyis for your viewers.
Many Thanks
Amit
Awesome, thank you!
Going to Dubai doesn't always mean 5* or go home - thanks Tim for this video! I'll definitely put this at the top of my list when it comes to accomodation next time
Really look forward to your videos. Canât believe iâve just googled that room as cheap as ÂŁ45 yet Iâve clocked premier inns in the uk for ÂŁ120-200 a night! Shocking value compared to Dubai.
I know crazy
Which Premier Inn in Dubai is this? Thanks.
@@poisonedchalice It's the one at Ibn Battuta Mall.
rip off britain
I've been to Dubai and the hotel I stayed was fantastic, but this Premier Inn looks equally as fantastic. I love the door design for the bathroom and the shower cubicle is a great size.
Carpet sniffer, worried about you đ
Do you lick carpet though? đ
đ€Łđ€Ł
He been munching carpets in his spare time
Indeed đđđ
đ
I absolutely love a premier inn. When you opened the the door i actually chuckled to my self and thought wow i would love it here. Amazing video Tim.
You and me both!
What a great vlog, I'm always impressed by the way you describe everything, explaining in detail the good and the not so good, and the important thing the prices. Thanks again Tim well done, đđ
Hi pretty lady. How are you and your family are doing today??
Wow ,A Wonderful Inn ! It is truly a unique inn that offers ease and comfort to its visitors and facilitates them with the service of a 4 - star hotel as well as entertains them with the view of the beautiful landscape !
Thanks for sharing ! â€ïžâ€ïž
Is it? Or is it a company that treats their staff like trash?
Always love watching your videos Tim, straight to the point, no fuss and you just show enough of what we want or need to see đ
I went to Dubai 3 years ago for a conference and booked Premier Inn Al Jaddaf - it was great just like the one you just reviewed except it didnât have 3 towers. The restaurants were good and loved that they had costa coffee in the cafe in the foyer. I was there by myself so I could pop down in a morning and grab a coffee and pastry if I didnât want a bigger breakfast without having to wander the streets looking for stuff. I would definitely recommend it. It also had a pool. Good value and very clean and new. I have used Premier inns all over the UK when on holidays from Brisbane and never had any issues so felt confident booking this one in Dubai but was stunned by how good it was. đâ€ïž
I am lucky to visit Dubai every 4-6 weeks due to work, and its amazing how you can get a 3 star hotel (Which is more like 4/5 Star) for ÂŁ50-ÂŁ100 a night, I think people only look at hotels like the Atlantis and think the rest of Dubai is super expensive. Also for Tourists...Dubai has dropped its alcohol tax lately (30%!) so people should start seeing a massive value change there too. (I would say that normal pubs (Not the tourist traps!) are now cheaper than alot of London pubs)
what do you do in dubai?
Theyâre finally seeing sense on the alcohol tax? Thank crumbly.
Great comment
Wow I love this video! Thanks for sharing. Never knew Dubai had a premier inn. Iâd defo give it a try, it looks perfect for getting a comfortable nights stay after hectic days sightseeing đ
i have stayed in dubai many times , and initially 4 and 5 start hotels , but now i always just stay in a premier inn , great value for money , and cant fault them , ive stayed at this 1 in ibn buttata , there is a very very cheap food court in ibn shopping mall , and its right next to metro station , so absolutly bang on place to stay
In fairness to Premier Inn, we really donât have the climate for a pool and loungers here in the UK đ Itâs absolutely superb value though, especially with the upgrade.
Thatâs a bargain price upgrade for a beautiful room Tim. Nice hotel too and very attractive for the weary traveller from the UK. Thatâs certainly high standard which is what youâd expect in Dubai. Love the corner window worth paying that bit more for. The hose device near the loo what a great idea just perfect for cleaning your shoes lolđđ
lol there should be a warning on there
When I worked for Deutsche Bank, used to spend a lot of time in Dubai. The hotels were always immaculate, service was 100%. That is by far the best looking Premier Inn Iâve ever seen!
agree
My partner that works for Travelodge says that Travelodge and premier inn pop their names on hotels in other countries. Like george Forman and his grill! They're so proud of it, they put their name on it!
We bought a 'bum gun' with us back from Singapore, Tim. All South East Asian countries use 'em in the loos. I used them for 20 years before heading back home. Tbh, it is more for hygiene than saving on loo role (although that's a bonus). Never feel clean just using bog roll anymore. It just kind of smears all those germs around, if you know what I mean. UK is way behind on this.
I stayed in a hotel in Edmonton Alberta last summer which had disability rooms ( I am disabled) no extra charge with an amazing toilet with the as you call it â bum gunâ. Iâve never been cleaner. Iâm going to look for a portable one for home and travel use, thanks for posting that comment.
@@LordMelbury1953 No problem, Kevin. One word - try and get a more pricey, solid stainless steel gun with flexible stainless hose, as there are a lot of cheap plastic versions, which are a bit naff. You want it to last. If you are on Facebook, you can message me your details and I'll send back a brief video of our set up and how it is plumbed in.
Never been, never wanted to go to Dubai. But your flight and now the Premier Inn - maybe.....just for the experience. I don't ever see much advertising for trips to Dubai, might have to just go there ! To think I began watching you in Cromer !
and I always return for a good cromer LIVE every now and then :-)
Stayed in several Premier Inns in Dubai, always had a great stay and well looked after.
The greatest TV ad ever was that fly by with the lass dressed as Emirates cabin crew atop the Burj Khalifa - stunning
Yes I did see that amazing
Premier Inn Abu Dhabi International Airport is also very nice & also has a pool. The best part is that itâs inside the airport so itâs perfect for long layovers
If you're trying to convince me to come to Dubai, then you're certainly going about it the right way. What a wonderful hotel this is, you'd never believe that this is a Premier Inn, and I can't believe the price either. Breakfast being included is an added bonus.
If you're curious about the plugs and sockets showing up here, the UK isn't the only country to use the type G, they're used in a handful of smaller commonwealth countries as well as Saudi Arabia and its neighbours.
Great video - You also forgot to mention that there is a bridge that gives you direct access to the massive Ibn Batuta mall which has loads of restaurants and a cinema.
My Premier Inn adventure. London, I checked in, got my key card, went to "my" room. Opened the door and there was a naked woman standing there, fresh out of the shower. She yelled and I quickly headed back to reception. While I was explaining, the police showed up. Since 1978, I've stayed in hotels around the world for work. Only time anything like that has happened.
I love Premier Inns in the UK when we go there so impressed with price point and cleanness and such friendly staffs. Very helpful, too. Your room was amazing the corner windows were fabulous and loved the bathroom set up. Your reviews are top-notch as you cover all the important points with such a friendly attitude.
Wow! Them Premier Inns look more posh then the one back in the UK. I have never seen a swimming pool or a gym in a Premier Inn. The corridors looks a bit more wider then the ones in the UK, such a nice room with a nice window view. Oh how cool is that with the bathroom door. You can easy tell that someone was on floor 3 when waiting for the lift.
The main airport hotel at Abu Dhabi Airport with connecting walkway to the terminal is a Premier Inn, yes has a roof top swimming pool with views over the airport and it was quite nice, it even has a Costa Coffee inside reception area. Nice vlog. đ
Premier Inn in Dubai? Who knew! Really useful info, thanks. Actually, apart from the bathroom layout, there are similarities with the one I just stayed in at Heathrow T4. That too had a fridge, safe, big TV and phone. Same reading lights as well. Price is a no-brainer. If you factor in that a Premier Inn breakfast is around a tenner in the UK then, for a couple, it brings the âroom onlyâ price down to the equivalent of ÂŁ79 a night, which is similar to many PI UK prices in popular locations.
I didnât catch whereabouts it is. Some distance from the city centre given the distant view of the skyline, I guess?
Ibn Battuta Mall
I had the worst night's sleep in a Glasgow premier inn 5 years ago. The main reason for that was the bedding - pillowcases, duvets, covers, etc. was made from 100% synthetic fibers which is the cheapest and worst fabric to come into contact with human skin. I may as well have wrapped myself in foil and tucked into an oven. Within minutes of contact, I heated up and couldn't sleep a wink. Never again.
You know what, I was surprised when I first saw PI in Dubaiđ, and if they could replicate that standard back over here in the U.K., it would seriously challenge a lot of bigger name hotelsđđŸ
I like that you always check how clean the kettle is đ
Always
What a splendid hotel! Gorgeous room and amenities. Iâd definitely stay there for the majority of the holiday, maybe splurge for a night or two at a really fancy hotel. But this looks like a great place to spend the most time at as your home base during the holiday while you explore Dubai.
What a lot of people do not or even refuse to acknowledge is that basic living standards in the UK are pretty substandard when compared with the majority of the developed world so it comes as no surprise when you see that hotels and accommodation are of a much higher standard than we see over here, you notice these things the more you travel abroad.
I donât think these countries want to import poverty like the U.K does
Well said
I've seen the conditions the foreign workers live and trust me they don't compare at all to what we have in the uk
NoNHS or social housing in Dubai. Also human rights are non existent.
Iâve been in lots of lovely hotels in UK.
Wow absolutely fantastic Tim great room and a lovely pool, breakfast looked good and the price was great, I would definitely stay there x
Welcome to my neck of the woods, nice to see you further afield have fun canât wait to see more of this trip
Canât get enough of your videos I always smile when I see there is a new one. Keep them coming.
Glad you like them!
Hi Tim. This looks fab. I would love to travel more now that we can. It's hard to find reasonable priced hotels that includes almost everything. I would definitely look into this one. It would be for 2 or 3 adults and a baby. Thankyou for your videos. đ. Hope you're all well. UK is pretty miserable right now lol. Can't wait for the next video. đ. Xx
Thatâs a stunning room for the price - I used to sell holidays to Dubai many moons ago (Iâve never been) and that room is comparable to many of the âfamousâ hotels in Dubai that cost a lot more!
One of my friends has been to Dubai numerous times and just loves it, for work, not play. He said they look at him crazy then talk his ear off about all his tattoos.
I certainly would Tim! Great review as always with the classic camera anglesđ
Thanks đ
Love your content mate, always watching it. Thank you for this amazing content
Much appreciated!
It's a good job I was sitting down when you said how much you paid, that's a bargain đI really liked that room and the hotel, I said wow too, the only thing that let it down was the random passageway carpet, I think that would make me cross eyed! Thanks Tim đ
The premier Inn looks so clean and modern ,and the price per night very good ,alot of UK ones charge more ,and without Breakfastâ, great tip, Tim,book there , and a flight , bargain , thanks another great vidio Tim đ
Yep tim, I'm as sad as you. Said "wow" when you entered the room. Love the cream headboard rather than purple. Lovely Premier Inn. Weird toilet!! Phone in toilet. Soaking your trousers đ. Brilliant video đ€đ
Ah, I wish I knew you were in Dubai! I stayed in the Premier Inn by Dubai International airport 2 nights ago, and thought it was alright (but nothing special), but decent for what I paid to be honest. Great video - will be watching what else you get up to during your stay here!
Tim definitely a wow I would definitely stay there as you said itâs affordable thanks so much for this useful information canât wait for more videos on Dubai hopefully next tour with gabby and your lovely son xx
I came across your channel today and Iâve watched a dozen videos. I really like your style and that you review a variety of places. Just subbed. Thanks from Las Vegas. đ
Fab room Tim, looked comfortable, made me laugh when you had the little water accident đ , amazing view from your window, lovely pool area too, thanks for sharing how the other half live, till next time đ x
Brilliant video Tim, what an eye opener compared to Lenny Henryâs array of offerings here in the Uk đ Keep up the amazing work đ
Thanks đ

As someone who wants to visit with my partner but doesn't want to spend hundreds on a room this video is great. Least we know we can get a fairly cheap hotel that actually looks very good
Thanks Tim!
Thanks for watching!
I stay Novotel mall suites of emirates ÂŁ45 a night great location rooftop pool extremely clean itâs lovely in middle of everything
Hey, Tim. Great vlog. I would definitely stay here! I love Premier Inns when travelling in the UK.
Thatâs some stylish looking premier inn. Great review Tim!
Another amazing upload, thanks Tim! :) Would love to see a USA series one day!
Be cool to see what their motels are like on the road!
Really enjoyed this.Your personality always comes shining through!Appreciate the detail you always put in.Also , love the polo shirts very professional and smart .Thank you for bringing Dubai to us!
Your devoted fan from America
i love your channel. i am going to malta june 15th for a wk and we are staying at the double tree hilton which has just reopened a few days ago, as it used to be the dolmen hotel, but doubletree hilton took it over, i love your channel, i feel like im away wih you ! thanks Tim x
That is really nice! I was pleasantly surprised at the rooms and the offerings. The cost is reasonable .
Interesting. I like Premier Inns in the UK, especially the all-you-can-scoff breakfast. Some hotels in Dubai, at the higher end of the market, do serve pork bacon and sausages, but they need a separate kitchen to prepare them and you are supposed to use separate cutlery to eat them. Similarly, some supermarkets sell pork products, but the area for that is sectioned off.
maybe they do across the road in M&S ?
There used to be a Premier Inn at Norman Cross near Peterborough that used to have a health club but I think itâs gone now!
On Dubai, nice to visit but we prefer Abu Dhabi, probably as I have family there so accommodation is freeđ
Hi Tim ! Wow this was a great hotel I'd stay there looked lush . Especially for the price and it was so clean . Looking forward to seeing the next vlogs. Thanks for sharing with us love to you as always Tracey đ xxxx
Wow, & yes Iâd stay there. Thanks for showing us around. đđ
Hi Tim thanks for making that great video and wow its amazing that Dubai has a premier Inn and the room looked so awesome. I would stay there for sure.
Thank you Tim for this I had no idea you could stay there at a good price. I knew they donât have pork bacon or anything but thatâs OK. The room look beautiful. good job Tim
I lived in Dubai for a number of years and it is so clean, hotels, malls etc puts our country to shame
Canada same. Nothing but debt and taxes.
Hello Tim,as a premier Inn like this one I would stay there,the room is amazing,looks more expensive,the breakfast meal was nice and plenty to choose from.
That food looked pretty yummy :D also you had a lovely room!!! I love rain head showers though I've never used one, can't wait to try it out sometime. â„
The water thing next to the toilet isnât for cleaning the bath đ it for cleaning your bumbum after having number 2đ
loving all the videos Tim, glad you are enjoying travelling to new places, me and my partner sit down and watch your videos all the time, we are visiting the waterpark in berlin this year becuase of your video! :)
That really is one lovely room. Enjoy xx
Wow now that's a lovely premier inn. Love the corner views. Not bad price either. â€
The cleanlinesses of that hotel was rather mind blowing. I was really impressed with your room, especially the fancy bathroom doors. 3 bum washers too đđ
For a similar price to here đŹđ§ with all those extra amenities too !!!
Breakfast âŠâŠ At least the eggs will be real, not like the bacon but theyâre a Muslim country arenât they so thatâs normal for them.
Can we score ? Iâll say 8/10. -2 points for bacon and the sausages.
TimâŠ.looks lovely! Iâve never been to Dubai, great video as usual!
Your new youtube videos always cheer me mate legend
Great video Tim , wow I would definitely stay there đ
Great vlog Tim! I was in Dubai for a week in May 2022 and I found it weird having a telephone next to the toilet đđđ and glad you mentioned how strange it was lol
Hello, is that reception? / Yes, are you on the toilet? / Err, well, yes if you must know! / What are you doing? / Never you mind! / Do you need toilet paper? / NO!!! I wanted to know if breakfast is served!
lol
This guy is the goat of travel videos. From flights to hotelsđ„
goat?
@@WalkWithMeTim yeah your are my greatest of all time travel channel đ„đ„.. you are a goatđ....đ đ Binge watching your videos now.
Please dont use the word goat, its embarrassing
ÂŁ97?!?! Thatâs amazing! It makes sense though in an area of the world that everyone assumes you must be a millionaire and everything must be gold. The âbaseâ level is raised and the western idea of 3* is more like a 4 - 5 star in UAE.
Itâs funny how the star system has a universal use, but the grading is wildly differing based upon expectation in that area of what constitutes as a 3 or 4 star hotel. That said, I am equally as surprised that this is a Premiere Inn. Iâve stayed in many over the years in the UK and this is fantastic.
Wow what a lovely place and the views you had were stunning đ
Well presented as usual Tim It would be good if British Premier Hotelâs were as plush as the one in Dubai. Donât think that one could be beaten.đ All the best i look forward to more future videos I really enjoy them.đ
Agree
Hi Tim. I love your corner room just how they should be for a standard room in Dubai although I know you said it was an up grade.perhaps the single rooms in that one are the same but smaller. The room by the airport looked cheap and nasty.
Wow well impressed with that room and the price as well, fantastic
Itâs got MeilĂĄ vibes especially with the design of the bathroom, although the sliding doors adds some comfort. Not sure if sharing rooms with twin beds have that, but some donât, which makes business trip sharing rooms really awkward
ÂŁ97 a night for that is superb
Have you ever considered staying at any of the Leonardo hotels in the UK? I recently stayed in one and was impressed and I'm planning on trying out one in London later on this year.
I just stayed in the Leonardo Hotel in Brighton, loved it. Will be uploading a room tour a hotel explore in the next few days!
Another good video, only just came across your youtube channel on Thursday, I have watched quite a few of your videos since then, but I can remember when you were on Jackpot TV in the early hours of the mornings.
Welcome aboard!
Fantastic I am planning a trip over and did wonder about the premier inn there, great insight
Everything is better than the UK, here you have to pay extortionate fees for below standard products / services
Love how much they adopt from our country, especially the sockets.
It makes Britain look so boring seeing you there đđđ
Great Vid Tim hope you had a great time in Dubi
Wish all premiers were like that,have a great time đ
I am a regular visitor to Dubai, love my annual trips, yes I'd certainly stop there as it looked really nice indeed - it's a bit far out to where I would like to stop, but overall I was impressed by the room and the facilities, but it's Dubai so what would you expect, nothing but the best and its always spotless and clean, nothing is ever a bad experience there in all fairness, in fact I have never had a bad experience, and staff at Hotels are first class and nothing is too much trouble. Now I've seen this, I'm now itching to go and book a trip there in September LOL.
Generally hotels arenât expensive in Dubai, itâs everything else which is super expensive. Good video Tim and remember you canât please everyone all of the time! Do you videos how you want.
It was a very good travel blog today of you chilling out and staying in premier inn in Dubai tim
Iâve visited Dubai twice now and would go again. For a few nights. Itâs a great hotel to stop in, as most of the time youâre in the city I notice itâs also close to the Metro. đđ
Wow! That's the most massive Premier Inn I've ever seen!
What a beautiful pool!
The Night Lights in Dubai look amazing đgood for football supporters with the big screen outside!
Looks a lot posher generally than UK Premier Inns, more Premiere First Class!
Wow amazing corner Dubai Room.
Looks opulent!
Mini fridge & condiments standard.
Room service very good.
Open plan Bathroom very chicđ
Ringing someone on the Toilet from the phoneđ& a bidet squirter!
Nice neutral decor.
Massive TV.
Breakfast included is fantastic.
The views are spectacular.
Was that Kedgeree in one of the dishes breakfast looks pretty good.
I'd love some Kedgeree!
And Waffle's!
So many different cafes & places inside the Premier Inn.
ÂŁ97 pounds isn't bad at all.
I thought it would be alot more expensive than that!
A great first night in Dubai for you Tim
Yes I would definitely stay here!!!
The one in Cardiff is far bigger lol
You know it's not your bog standard Premier Inn when it says "Reception is on level 3" đ great vid again Tim. Loved it â€
thanks Hannah
We stayed at the premier inn in Edinburgh recently and the bed was exactly the same and the room was very similar except for the bathroom was basic but did supply all the shampoo shower gel etc, tea/coffee mini bar for a basic double room I thought it was great value for money. So maybe they are upgrading their properties
Love that Premier Inn Id stay there with that lovely pool!
