Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

Excellent, charming hotel. Wonderful experience. The only issue was that the taxi driver was unable to find it. To get there from the main road at 1AM was challenging. Small streets are like a maze the first time you walk. Daytime is no problem, and if you walk a few times, there's no issue. Better signage at the taxi drop-off point would be helpful.

This is one of the few properties in Dubai where you can stay right in the middle of the historic district and walk to the textile, spice and gold souks. It is a wonder boutique hotel with unique rooms, great food and delightful, friendly service.

A Beautiful Traditional Stay in Dubai's Old Town

XVA Art Hotel is a stunning example of traditional Arabian architecture, located in the heart of the old town. The atmosphere is charming and full of character, making it a hotspot for tourists. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, enhancing the overall experience. One thoughtful touch is that the hotel provides a shower room for guests with late flights, which is really convenient. If I visit Dubai again, I will definitely stay here again!

I really wanted a more Arabic experience on this trip to Dubai. I could not have been more pleased. The staff couldn’t do enough for me. The location is perfect for a quiet 90min walk at night. I had a single room, small but comfortable. I needed to be in the main bar area for WiFi to work but it was no issue and the staff kept the tea coming. Brilliant. Can’t wait to go back.

Very well located inside the souq (though that means a car cannot drop you off at the front door). Great locale, close to restaurants, everything walkable. The bedroom was great, but just a little small - or maybe the bed was too big. Staff were very nice. I would stay there again!

Amazing hotel

Amazing boutique hotel in the middle of historical district of Al Fahidi. We wanted to take a break from the steel and glass high rises and didn’t regret it. The hotel is combined with cafe and art gallery. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast in cafe is lovely. All rooms are designed in different traditional style. We had room 10, designed in Turkish tarboosh theme. The location can’t be more perfect to explore old Dubai. We were able to walk to Al Seef. The Al Ghubaiba ferry station and Al Fahidi metro is also nearby, so we could travel to business district and Burj Khalifa by metro and to Marina by ferry and Deira soul by abra. Will be definitely come back!

The place is hard to find. Taxis don't know exactly where it is. You have to walk around the historic site to find it. The rooms are clean. You really have to like rustic looks to appreciate this place. If you want modern amenities, this place is not for you. They had Perrier water and regular water in the fridge..no mention of costs associated for the Perrier..then they charged nearly$15 Canadian for 2 small bottles of Perrier which I found to be totally out of the norm. overall good spot
