February 2008 After a long flight, transfer was waiting at airport. Checking in very smooth. In our room within 15 mins. All staff were very attentive. Indian restaurant was first class. Breakfast featured a huge choice. Central location in old town. Would definately stay again without hesitation.

"Excellent rooms and location." I stayed for 3 nights in May on a business trip. What i liked most was the quality of the rooms, excellent 4* standard with an Arabian feel. The view from the front facing rooms is fantastic. You can even see the creek. The staff were friendy and helpfull, breakfast was good, the atrium could do with a refurb , but it is no way in bad shape, just a little out dated. Overall would highly recommend if not wanting or able to stay on the beach.

"Remarkable service" We had a great experience staying at the Arabian Courtyard. All Staff is brilliant, very kind and helpful. The room is very cozy, nice view from the windows, quiet and very clean. I had such a great time!

"Pleasantly Surprised!" I've worked in Dubai for a while before moving to Bahrain and thought I'd visited or seen most of the hotels Dubai has to offer. Imagine my surprise when I came across the Arabian Courtyard in Bur Dubai. Location wise it's very close to most things of interest in Bur Dubai and only a short taxi ride from the airport and Deira. The hotel itself is not opulent compared to others but it still holds a certain charm. For service and value for money you would be hard pressed to find a better hotel in such a good location. The rooms are nicely decorated in Arabian style, we were upgraded to an executive suite so this report is based on this standard of room. The other good thing about this type of room is you get free food and :"beverages" in the executive lounges on the 7th floor. The hotel is nicely decorated and has several bars and restaurants including a spar and gymnasium. All in all I would definately go back again.

"Great location, great hotel" We stayed here for five nights and couldn't be happier. For us it was worth paying for an executive room for the free wireless internet, lovely breakfast (they actually know how to keep scrambled eggs moist!), free drinks at Happy Hour and a very attractively appointed lounge. Our room was delightful and overlooked the Museum. The staff are very efficient and friendly - a call to have a toilet fixed was responded to within 5 minutes! The bathroom is small but well maintained and the toiletries are generous. The only disappointment was that we would have liked more Arabic food such as hummous, kebabs and so on - the restaurants pride themselves on serving excellent international cuisine but we would have liked more traditional food. Be aware that this a Muslim country and you will not find bacon, ham or other pork products among the breakfast offerings. We agree with the comments from another reviewer about the tour desk advisor. The Big Bus tour is excellent value and includes admission to the museum and a dhow cruise, and it leaves from just across the road from the hotel. The abra station is a short walk away. We would certainly stay here again.

"Fantastic hotel in a great location" Just returned from a 5 night stay at the Arabian Courtyard...this was my first trip to Dubai and from the minute we stepped out the Taxi at 2am the staff at the Arabian Courtyard really treated us like kings! Check in was fast and friendly loved the fact that we were seated and given soft drinks, we were then taken to our room on the 8th floor overlooking the museum which was spotlessly clean and had everything that we could need. Room was serviced every day with fresh sheets and towels. As neither me or my partner are beach lovers the location of the hotel was perfect for us, the pool although small was clean, taxis were available at all hours from outside the hotel and with it being across the road from the museum and just a couple of minutes from the abra station you never had to walk great distances to shopping or sightseeing. I didnt eat in either the indian or silk route restautant but the food in the Sherlock holmes pub was good value for money and the service (as throughought the whole hotel) was exceptional. To sum it up if you are looking for a hotel with character and great service in Dubai you will not be disappointed!

"Lovely Hotel - friendly staff" We went to Dubai for our first wedding anniversary for six days We were not fussed on a beach hotel as we wanted to see Dubai itself that’s why after reading reviews on this hotel on this website we thought to try it out. Got to say the hotel is really nice. The receptionists are friendly, as it was our anniversary we were upgraded to a deluxe room for free with a museum view. Even though the room was facing outside, we couldn’t hear any noise from the traffic or even we couldn’t hear the Azaan. They are polite and very helpful The room was clean and a maid came everyday to make up our room which we were impressed with. Breakfast was included in our package and s served from 7.30 to 10.30 and it has a large variety – buffet style. The hotel also offers a coach service to Jumeirah beach free. It leaves the hotel at about 9.45 and picks you up from there at 1.15pm – which I would recommend as the taxi people charge a lot, a large amount of our cost went on taxi money, I would recommend hiring a car as Dubai isn’t that big and you get to know the streets really quickly Overall, I would recommend this hotel and would definitely stay there again.
