Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
The place is beautiful and retains more traditional architecture and art. Staff was wonderful. Loved the location (short walk with luggage from the main road) within Old Dubai. I much prefer this accommodation to large skyscrapers that could be anywhere in the world. This maintains local character.
