Rami any information and pictures regarding this internal terminal hotel?

Thanks
Yeah,what you are talking about is a business lounge,accessible by PP/walk up entrance fee. Inside,there were plans to have some kind of MH lounge style slumber rooms,but not the proper hotel style rooms. I don't know for sure if they opened them at the end,but will check.

To be fair I think the RJ hotel provision is good,you don't pay the visa fee,or anything for the hotel and you get a 4* hotel room and complimentary buffet meal(s).

I normally go home during the HKG-AMM and AMM-LHR flights transit
