I had a mixed experience at this hotel during my stay. While the location is fantastic, close to the creek and several dining options, the room provided initially left much to be desired. Luckily, the staff were accommodating, and I eventually got a room with a better view. Unfortunately, the executive lounge didn't meet my expectations, and the noise from the nightclub made it hard to enjoy my time there. Overall, though, the hotel has potential with its charming decor and lovely staff, but there are areas, like the management and dining quality, that need improvement.

My stay at the Arabian Courtyard Hotel was truly delightful. The rooms were spacious and offered a fantastic view of the historic district, making my nights enjoyable. The service was excellent with genuinely welcoming staff. The location, so close to traditional souks and the creek, provided a genuine feel of Dubai. While the breakfast had a variety of options, I found it could use some improvement, but overall I felt the hotel offered great value for the price.

I had a wonderful stay at the Arabian Courtyard Hotel during my 22-hour layover in Dubai. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff truly made me feel at home. My room was spacious and had a fantastic view of both the Dubai Museum and the creek. While I enjoyed my meals, I missed out on breakfast, so I can't comment on that. The location is perfect for exploring old Dubai, particularly if you're interested in cultural sites. It's a great choice for anyone looking for comfort and convenience at a good price.

We found this hotel to be a real gem, offering an incredible experience in the heart of old Dubai. The room was beautifully decorated and spacious, and the friendly staff made us feel at home. The dining was delightful, especially the breakfast spread. Although we wished for more time to use the spa facilities, the overall value for money was exceptional. The only downside was a slight musty smell when returning to our room without the air conditioning on.

I had a mostly enjoyable stay at the hotel, thanks in part to the clean and comfortable rooms, and the friendly, attentive staff. However, the experience was marred by some issues, including a lack of hot water and loud music from the nightclub nearby. While the location is fantastic, being close to local restaurants and attractions, I wouldn't recommend the executive lounge amenities because they didn't live up to expectations.
