Loved every minute there. It has the feel that you are really in another world. The area was very interesting. Hotel was within walking distance of many activities or take the dhow and also the underground transportation. Walked to the other side of the creek and saw the local people having their supper along the water. The breakfast was great.... More

The best thing about it is the location, in the only heritage area in Dubai. Our room needed improvement, the courtyard was fun at breakfast. The atmosphere was not very joyful. We more liked the XVA Art Hotel around the corner.

The pictures of the Orient Guest House look enchanting don't they, but don't be fooled. The lovely courtyard with hanging seat was nowhere to be seen, unless it is attached to one of the rooms. The lovely lounge you see, didn't exist. The rooftop had junk and only two stranded chairs and most certainly NO city view. The satellite television... More

The hotel is in heritage area with in the traditional Arabic architectural buildings, near the museums, the creek and another attractions. The staff is friendly but the rooms need extensive improvement, specially the bathrooms. The clerk left the desk alone while he cleaned the rooms. We booked in advance, but our rooms where still not adjacent.

Just returned from a 5 night stay for a girly break.Rooms were comfortable and breakfast was good. Location was near the creek and a short taxi ride away from a good Metro station which was perfect for getting around all day for approx 3 GBPs. Nice roof terrace and breakfast taken in a pretty courtyard with local birds doing their... More

Staying in Dubai for the first time I didn't realise that the Bastakiya Heritage Area is one that has no one living in it. There are only 2 hotels there and nothing much else bringing "life" into the area. Nevertheless, the area is nicely restored and looks great, the creek is a stone's throw away as is the Dubai Museum.... More

Its a good option to stay if you dont really have deep pockets (Dubai is very expensive, more often than not). There is a religious place next door and the there are prayers that you can hear but its not really a problem. Thats the best part of being in a new place. The rooms are spacious, clean and well...

i am a resident in Dubai, I bought a coupon to stay one night at the hotel, I had my valid reasons to twice postpone the reservation date 24 hours prior to check in time and they gladly accepted without warning me that if I want to have future change it should be done at least 72 hours prior to...

Spent 4 great nights at this very atmospheric hotel . Yes the mosque is audible but the call to prayer only lasts a short while and can provide a nice wake up call . Try to get the rooms at roof level .
