My wife has an Indian passport, but she will have valid UK and Schengen visitor visas at that time.
Just send a message on online chat, and that's it. I did it twice in the last 2 weeks.
(As the lady said to me at the transfer desk, if the hotel booked in advance ( more then 72 hrs before departure) they will provide a room at the oryx garden hotel.

I'll let you know, this Saturday I'll have a stopover again, and requested in advance. Will see which hotel I'll get.
