Dubai International Hotel
I am travelling YYZ-DXB-CAI at the end of May with a long stopover (20.5 hrs). As a Canadian, I would need a visa if I wanted to leave the airport for a hotel night in the city.
I was wondering if anyone has used the Dubai International Hotel. I gather it is physically inside the airport, and so I am assuming that I would not need a transit visa. I could of course eat in the airport or the lounges, since I am flying J.
Any advice or comments would be very much appreciated.

We used it last year for one night (about 8 hrs) was pricey but dont recall how much i paid for it (iirc it was about the same as cost of dubai visa for self & s.o.)
The room was pretty good and we could sleep very soundly before we headed into the highly therapeutic 10 abreast Y secton of EK
staff was efficient and friendly, check in was quick. I think there is complimentary internet though we didnt use it
