"The hotel is in the middle of a historical part of Dubai. It is also near Dubai Creek and an "aura" ride across to the Gold Souk. I really loved the cafe, where you could have a refreshing lime mint drink or watermelon juice drink. The room I stayed in was cute and perfect for my needs. The fruit plate was a perfect welcome gift. I wish I had stayed longer. "

"The best part of this hotel is the service and the staff — very friendly and extremely courteous. Their warmth more than makes up for any small shortcomings during the stay. The location is fantastic if you want to explore historic Dubai and be close to all the main shopping areas. The hotel features a charming courtyard with a vintage, antique-style setup. Breakfast is Arabic and absolutely amazing. Overall, a mesmerizing stay — though the cost is a bit on the higher side compared to other...
