Orient Guest House  

Breakfast in the courtyard

Staff didn't communicate information regarding facilities available at a sister hotel close by.

A reallt lovely and unusual place to stay. Nothing else like it in Dubai a true traditional arabic boutique hotel.

It was an interesting looking facility which, with location was one of the reasons I went there.

Virtually no information on activities in the Dubai area and at least one staff spoke no English. No effort was made to clean the room from one day to the next. This was not a big thing and may be the way they do business, but chain hotels in Dubai do clean everyday, Rooms are noisy, especially when the night clerk starts setting up breakfast at 3am in the courtyard.

Lovely location in the old city of Dubai. Historic building right in the middle of the heritage square; lovely interior courtyard, clean room, nice staff.

The Orient Guest House is perhaps only one of two accommodations in Dubai where you get a feel of 'Old Dubai'. Being in Bastakiya the renovated heritage area and being so near the creek, the romance of the 'Old Middle East' can be enjoyed here like no other place in this bustling city. We wanted a romantic break as it was our Silver Wedding Anniversary, and no modern hotel fits the bill for us.

The Parking arrangements were not great...I Wanted to park my own car nearer to the accommodation. In addition, the breakfast was cold.

The hotel is located in a very nice position in the old dubai, into an old medina. Very romantic location, but the rooms need a refreshing and the wireless doesn't work very well. The breakfast very good but poor. For this reason my opinion is that the price of the room is exaggerate, mostly because you have to add at the price of the room +20% for taxes. I paid for a night 150€ and to me is too much.

The price very exaggerate for the level of the hotel. The wireless during my stay didn't work at all.

The Orient Guest House was well positioned (close to the old part of the city) and not far from some of the souks (markets). It was nice to stay in more traditional style of accommodation rather than your everyday hotel. All the staff were pleasant and helpful, would return at a cooler time of year if there ever is one!!!!!

Not easy to find if the taxi doesn't drop you opposite the Al Mussala Post Office as we arrived at midnight.

It was a charming individual place. It was very easy to reach from the airport ( ~ 15 minutes by taxi) . It was quiet, welcoming . Pleasantly air-conditioned on a veryhot day (40 degrees). There were many small snack bars/cafes nearby where we had a simple snack. There was no time for touring but I am told it is near the souk, the museum and other attractions.

The staff were very nice and helpful -- provided lots of useful info. e.g. transport, opeing hours of tourists spots, place for currency exchanges, etc. Specially like the tranquillity of the place. I arrived late at mid-night and the staff was kind enough to pick me up form outside. Very close to post office(opposite side of road), the Dubai Museum(a few minutes walk) and water sports station (another 5 minutes walk further). Day walk & night walk in this heritage area gave me diff. experiences of the place. I was given to know I could use the facilities of Arabic courtyard hotel nearby (a few min. walk again) but I just didnt' manage to (I'll definitely try next time). I think the price can be a bit more reasonable and there's room for improvement on the breakfast provided.

Très beau cadre et très beau mobilier dans le quartier historique (et le seul quartier culturel de Dubai). La meilleure situation géographique de la ville à proximité du Creek et son animation authentique (à la différence des quartiers modernes bling bling)

Das Hotel hat einen sehr schönen ruhigen Innenhof in dem auch gefrühstückt wurde. Ich war im Februar dort, ob das im Sommer noch so angenehm ist weiss ich nicht. Die Zimmer sind orientalisch eingerichtet, sehr ruhig mit Blick auf die autofreie Altstadt. Lage ideal direkt neben dem Dubai Fort und Museum, auch der Big Bus hält nicht weit entfernt. Die nächste große Shopping Mall ist das Burjaman Centre, auch der Old Souk ist gut zu Fuß zu erreichen.

Günstige Lage im historischen Altstadtviertel. Für Reisende, die gerne etwas anders (in diesem Falle arabisch) wohnen wollen. Ruhig. Freundlicher Service. Viele kleine Geschäfte in der Nähe.
