Its a good option to stay if you dont really have deep pockets (Dubai is very expensive, more often than not). There is a religious place next door and the there are prayers that you can hear but its not really a problem. Thats the best part of being in a new place. The rooms are spacious, clean and well...

i am a resident in Dubai, I bought a coupon to stay one night at the hotel, I had my valid reasons to twice postpone the reservation date 24 hours prior to check in time and they gladly accepted without warning me that if I want to have future change it should be done at least 72 hours prior to...

Spent 4 great nights at this very atmospheric hotel . Yes the mosque is audible but the call to prayer only lasts a short while and can provide a nice wake up call . Try to get the rooms at roof level . More

Good: The place definitely has its charms. It is right inside the Bastakia Quarter and it just makes you feel like your in a different world as soon as you step through the old wooden doors. You are greeted by a nice little court yard as soon as you walk in. The check-in was not a problem and all the... More

The room & customer interaction was great but the price & shuttle service is misleading. Their website says they provide shuttle pick up at the airport. When I arrived at the airport, I called asking them to pick me up but the front desk said they don't do pick up. I had to take a taxi which was about 50... More

This place suited our taste as we are more interested in guest house type accommodation. Service was excellent, very friendly and helpful. The room on the upper floor was not at all as good looking as on their website, felt v.dusty and in need of an updating but comfortable. Bathroom adequate but nothing luxurious.Breakfast in the cute courtyard was excellent... More

Stay here if you want the other, I think, more authentic Dubai. It is not a high rise, mall area. It is in Bastakia, very close to Dubai Creek, in an area of converted old warehouses. Dubai Museum is there as well as some art galleries and a pretty mosque which looks beautiful lit up at night. The guest house... More

They rooms reflect the Arabic atmosphere and the culture of the city. The hotel has 10 rooms only of which two were busy. The receptionist gave us a very small room claiming "all rooms were busy" although we found out later that there were 2 guests only. I think they didn't want to have trouble cleaning up large rooms. The... More

We were made to feel very welcome by the delightful house Manager. If you want to experience the "old Dubai" the location is superb, being right alongside the Dubai Museum and close to the souks and the Dubai creek. They are affiliated with the Arabian Court Hotel along the road, and we used their restaurant. The room was fine with... More

If you want to feel like you are NOT on in the middle east then this is not a place for you. The decoration and the surroundings cannot get more Arabian. The service was good and the breakfast included was OK. The rooms are big and very comfortable. The restaurant next door has the most amazing camel burger and the... More
