XVA Art Hotel
Al Fahidi Bastakiya, Bur Dubai, Dubai, United Arab Emirates – Great location - show map
*8.2* Dubai Museum: only 5 minutes away! (1,100 feet by foot)
*8.3* Al Bastakiya: only 5 minutes away! (1,150 feet by foot)
Having stayed in Dubai many many times since 1996 I am fed up with over priced 5* hotels and mediocre service. The XVA is something completely different to all other choices in Dubai. The rooms are individual, the public areas are really pleasant courtyards and the food.....the food is fantastic especially if you are vegetarian or just want a change from meat.

XVA is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at. I loved it so much that I didn't really want to leave to explore the rest of Dubai! The food, the staff, the whole building and the location were just amazing. I loved this place so much that I was very sad to leave.

The XVA Art Hotel was absolutely lovely! The design of the hotel is a beautiful mix of modern art and traditional architecture; it had a dreamy bohemian feel. The location was excellent for accessing the souk and metro. Also, the vegetarian thali and XVA breakfast were delicious.

Xva was recommended to me by friends who had stayed there. I can not thank them enough. I really enjoyed everything about Xva as per my above answers. Oh, if you like art, the Art Gallery and shop are fabulous.

The formar Al Bastakiya area is my favorite place in Dubai. It was my birthday and the staff surprised me with singing "happy birthday" and bringing cake and other specialities on the house. Dinner was delicious. A must place to go! Thank you Mona for your excellent hospitality!

Perfect location and atmosphere. A taste of old Dubai with all the comforts of new Dubai

XVA Art hotel feels like a Dubai that doesn't exist today. It is easy enough to walk to the Metro and see the bragging right Dubai of gleaming architectural one-ups-manship, but sitting on the veranda or waking up in the morning to the nearby mosque or walking the waterfront or sitting in the atrium of the XVA hotel is relaxing in a time travel way.
