Staying at this hotel was like stepping into a piece of old Dubai charm with spacious and well-maintained rooms furnished with traditional pieces. The service was a mixed bag of noise and help, but they did arrange for a fantastic early morning airport pickup. The location is a gem for those looking to explore the heritage part of Al Hamriya, though not ideal if you prefer modern malls. The dining experience was pleasant, especially with the friendly young man who handled everything.

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The rooms were small but very quiet, opening onto two lovely courtyards and an upstairs roof terrace. The modernized bathroom was a nice touch, though the furniture felt like recent replicas of antique pieces. The service was helpful and the staff friendly, especially at night when I needed assistance with taxis and other requests. The location was perfect, offering a traditional local vibe in the quiet Al Fahidi Fort area near the museum and fort. The dining experience was good, with a variety of cereals, fruit, yogurt, croissants, and Arabian foods for breakfast. Overall, a great value for money.
