Reviews repeatedly describe the team as friendly, professional and welcoming, with some baristas remembered for warm, attentive service.
The lobby outlet has a well-spaced seating area, and customers use it for laptop work, meetings and quiet coffee breaks.
Customers praise the coffee as strong and tasty, including well-prepared lattes and speciality drinks such as Spanish latte and magic coffee.
Some seating is available outside, giving you an alternative to the hotel lobby tables.
One long-term local specifically noted that the toilets were very clean and the indoor temperature was usually comfortable.
Reviews mention tasty cookies, croissants, egg tarts, pastel de nata and blueberry muffins alongside the drinks.
Check timing. If visiting early, confirm the outlet is staffed first; reviews mention opening-hour delays and late arrivals.
Avoid rushes. Visit outside busy morning periods if possible, as one review describes a solo barista working during a busy morning.
Bring a jacket. The indoor seating can feel very cold, so take a jacket if you are planning to sit for a while.
Use basement parking. If you are driving, check the basement first; a customer specifically reported plenty of parking there.
Ask about offers. Premier Inn guests may want to ask whether the buy 1 get 2 offer mentioned in a review is available.
Expect a queue. Go to the counter to order rather than waiting at a table, as reviews describe this as a self-queue setup.

The Bottom Line
Set in the Premier Inn lobby in Al Jaddaf, this counter-service Costa is a useful stop for coffee, tea, iced drinks and light snacks. Reviews describe it as a comfortable place to work on a laptop, meet someone or take a quiet break, with a seating area and some outdoor tables. The latte, Spanish latte and magic coffee are among the specific drinks customers mention.
The strongest theme is the barista service: several customers describe the team as friendly, welcoming and professional, while one regular says staff remembered an order after a month away. Food mentions include croissants, egg tarts, cookies, pastel de nata and blueberry muffins. A review also praises a matcha latte with coconut milk, served hot or cold.
The atmosphere is not consistent. Some visitors find the hotel setting calm, cosy and quiet; others report loud noise, children screaming and no privacy. One review found the interior too cold, so a jacket may help.
It is counter service rather than table service, and there are reports of long waits when one person is covering the outlet or staff arrive late. Parking is described as available, including basement spaces, but check opening and staffing if timing matters. Prices receive mixed comments: one customer called the outlet pricey, while another described seasonal drinks as affordable.
