Hotell Dubai Emirate - Hotell vid Guldmarknaden i Dubai Emirate, Förenade Arabemiraten

After arriving at midnight to the airport, I was greeted by their friendly driver who kindly showed me a bit of the historical city on our drive to the guest house. This was my first time in Dubai, and although for only an overnight stay while in transit, it was wonderful to experience the local kindness, sleep in an extremely comfortable bed, be close to the mosques during an early morning walk, and to have a delicious breakfast. There's an art gallery on the first floor with local paintings for sale. Just outside of the entrance is the Heritage Museum with a school house. Across the creek are more museums and the Princess house. Although I didn't have time to visit more places, the fish market, gold and spice souks are nearby.

1. Really unique experience in the midst of a historical complex. The place was easy to find (taxi drivers didnt know the place but know the bastakiya complex) and within a short distance to the metro. Walking to distance to museum, old soux and to take abra ride. 2. The staffs are great. 3. Breakfast is plenty and customized (make the order the night before). 4. Room was nice. I was concerned that the guest house given its style would compromise in its comfort. Turned out the bed is decent for sleeping (not marriot soft but good for sleeping), bath is good with plenty toilettries. No problemo.

As you immerse yourself into the real Dubai, from the friendly staff to the souks this hotel represents all that you could want. A two minute walk to the Rulers Court where we shared tea with the same locals as royalty and US presidents, and local to the souks and abras to tabe you across the Creek.

Interesting hotel located in the center of Deira. Room was very spacious. Bed was big and comfortable. Airconditioning was very cold when needed which was good because it can get inferno hot outside. Hotel staff was very friendly, helpful and all spoke english. There are not one but two night clubs occupying the lower floors and the sound is unbelieably high. Stay only on the 4-5th floors or you will never get any sleep. I stayed on the 5th floor and never heard a noise. Taxis are near impossible to get from 12-3PM. Great shopping right outside hotel. Nassar square is about a block down from hotel and it is extremely busy 24-7. I would stay again if I stayed in Deira again. Go to Jumeira market, mall of the Emirates(you can snow ski inside mall), Dubai museum, and sailboat looking building and have dinner at the top floor restaurant. Food is good, views are spectacular and the prices are reasonable.

Short walk to souks , great views overlooking city.

Village cultural area. Places to eat. Access to city and other side of the creek. The desert safari is a most recommended by the Inn.

Quiet, too far from the traffic, delicious food. You need a car to go there because the train station is not working yet.

I was looking for an inexpensive place to stay one night in dubai since I had a friend with a 10 hour layover there. This was a great hotel apartment that I am going to book again today for my husband and I to go to.

Very nice hotel in the right location. Close to the airport, walking distance to the Dubai Creek, Big Bus, shopping and Metro. Grocery store located next to the hotel in case you need any additional items. Cabs were plentiful on "Bank Street". This hotel worked very well for us during a week of sightseeing in Dubai.
