Being in the heart of Al Fahidi, you don't have a direct access to parking facilities. There is a parking area within the historical district about 5 minutes from the hotel.

An exciting blast from the past! Dive into those Arabian Nights in this traditional location with modern comforts. Nice breakfast and friendly staff. Al Fahidi is a key heritage site with much of the original infrastructure preserved and intact. Have a cup of coffee at the Bayt Al Khaniar Coffee Shop and a nice lunch or dinner at Arabian Tea House and thank me later. The hotel is just 8 minutes walk distance from the nearest metro (Sharaf DG - green line), but it's also easy to get a cab. Also, a few steps away from Al Fahidi abra (boat) station, so you can easily explore Deira Old Souk or wonder around Al Seef waterfront promenade.

if you’re not a deep sleeper, pack earplugs because the mosque next door has very loud call for prayer twice in the early morning…

Amazingly appointed, intimate property in the new cultural quarter of Dubai, Al-Fahidi. Art gallery on the premises, lovely café and courtyards, and only a few rooms! It made for a beautiful stay. This Dubai hotel will make you forget the kind of trashy tourism alas too usual in other Dubai hotels…A must-try!

Charming and quiet artful spot in the middle of the heritage area. Full of secrets to explore and books to read. Staffed with friendly people.

I stayed here seven years ago and upon return today, it was as wonderful as I remember, perhaps even more so because of the current staff. The relaxed atmosphere in this vintage Dubai home reveals how life can be lived, even in bustling Dubai. While the rooms are wonderful, leaving the room and sitting outdoors in the various nooks and alcoves promotes a serenity, whether reading a book, studying or listening to the world around you. Weather leaving a busy souk or the bustling modern downtown, the walk into the Al Fahidi historic district, the entry into the XVA hotel courtyard, the walk to your room, especially if upstairs, past the outdoor beds inspires an internal tranquility. Breakfast served under the courtyard Banyan tree is a daily delight. A caution, the room doors are low and even I need to duck a bit, but that is part of the heritage of the location!

charming courtyards historical location in old town area

Very small rooms.

I liked that it was in an historic section of Dubai, and I loved the restaurant and breakfast! It seemed more authentic then the rest of Dubai.

Rooms a bit small but i knew that before coming. I did.not realise it did not serve alcohol but they recommended local hotel bar. In the middle of 'heritage centre' which was still being built!

The staff were great, the breakfasts good, mint lemonade fantastic. I loved the atmospere and style and also the music. The relaxing spaces on upper floor were lovely. Highly recommend. Perfect antidote to rest of Dubai.

Location and the staff were awesome! Lots of attractions and good restaurants around the area. Our room was nice, quiet and clean unfortunately the other side of the bed creaked. Tip: if taking a taxi or Uber, just tell the driver to go to Arabian Tea House Bastikaya and its just a short walk from there.
