The National said that the two people claim they caught the disease two years ago when they were visiting Dubai and stayed at the hotel.
Thomas Boyle, the British guest stayed at the hotel in December 2008 and when he returned to UK he had to stay for four days in a hospital after developing flu symptoms.
