Xva Art Hotel Bewertungen

Ein wirklich süßes Hotel mit so vielen Leseecken und einem schönen vegetarischen Café! Die Lage ist perfekt, weil es in Al Seef ist - ein wahrhaft magischer Ort. Das Bett war ein Doppelbett, daher war es für meinen Mann und mich etwas klein. Es gab auch Ameisen im Zimmer, aber ansonsten schien es sauber zu sein. Ein wirklich schöner kleiner Kurzurlaub. Wir würden für den Tag zurückkehren, aber vielleicht nicht für die Nacht.

Der Eingang des Hotels ist nicht leicht zu finden. Es ist nicht wie das hier gepostete. Der Parkplatz ist zu weit weg, was wegen der Hitze nicht ideal ist. Wir hatten ein Superior-Zimmer gebucht, aber es sieht klein aus, nichts wie auf dem Bild. In der Buchung steht, dass es eine Badewanne gibt, aber nichts. Es sieht aus wie das Standardzimmer nur. Die Klimaanlage funktioniert fast nicht. Nachts können wir wegen der Hitze nicht schlafen. Das Bett hat kein Queensize-Bett, wie in der Buchung angegeben. Das war nur eine doppelte Größe. Auch keine ergänzende Zahnbürste/Zahnpasta und das ist eine Grundvoraussetzung. Sie berechnen uns sogar zusätzliche 400 AED für eine Stunde, um Fotos vom Hotelgelände zu machen. Den Preis nicht wirklich wert. Ich rate Ihnen, ein anderes Hotel zu buchen, das sich lohnt. Gut, dass wir nur für eine Nacht gebucht haben. Ich empfehle die Mitarbeiter, weil sie gastfreundlich sind.

The XVA Art Hotel is just the best for travelers looking for respite from modern western-style hotels. Located in old Dubai, it has no street address. From the street, you walk in 200 yards, rolling your luggage. XVA is an old estate with 4 walls surrounding an open courtyard. Room doors are secured inside with a wooden slider. On the outside, doors are secured with padlocks. The chef and server offer up wonderful breakfasts and (I assume, lunch and dinner). Reception staff is customer-oriented. This was my second stay at XVA and I would do it again. (It's also fun to encourage Uber and taxi drivers who have never before dropped off riders at XVA. Location is near Dubai Creek and easy to get transportation to and from. Hospitality, cleanliness, service, food, ambience - it's the best!

Cute hotel on the edge of the old town and close to the creek. Internal courtyard with cafe for breakfast. Charming room with comfortable bed but no outside window. Helpful staff and some restaurants in walking distance. No other facilities.

good experience ! nice location. it is near old town. we will come again!

酒店坐落在老城邊，據説是原來一個阿拉伯富人居所改造而成，很有韻味，兩個庭院舒適寬敞，還各有一棵大樹，很有家的氛圍；早餐豐富合口，房間乾淨

這個酒店出乎意料的令人非常滿意，房間不大，但乾淨衞生，最令人叫絕的是酒店的早餐非常豐盛！並且這裏的每個人都非常的友好熱情，如果我再來杜拜，我毫無疑問還會住在這裏！

Für den EXPO-Besuch wählten wir dieses Hotel. Es sticht gegenüber den anderen Hotels klar raus: Nichts hohes, kein übertriebener Luxus, authentisch aufgebaut/eingerichtet. Zwar sind es rund 700 Meter bis zur nächsten Metrostation, doch dieser Fussmarsch machten wir im pulsierenden Quartier gerne. Denn da konnten wir uns gleich noch mit Kleinigkeiten eindecken. Das Hotel hat zwei Innenhöfe. Im vordern ist das Restaurant mit der Küche. Dort kann man am morgen nach arabischer Art frühstücken. Nebst Kaffee und Orangensaft gibt es auch Fladenbrot mit Frischkäse und Bohnen. Die warme Küche über den Mittag und am Abend ist sehr gut. Da kommen viele auswärtige Gäste um in dieser schönen Umgebung zu essen. Der Abend geht bis ca. 22 Uhr und es gibt manchmal auch Musik. Darum empfehle ich ein Zimmer im hinteren Teil oder im oberen Stockwerk. Wir buchten das Superior-Doppelzimmer und hatte so etwas mehr Platz im Zimmer für uns. Erwähnenswert ist das freundliche Personal. Für uns war es die perfekte Wahl. Für unkomplizierte Gäste welche auch ohne Pool und ohne Hotelshop ect. auskommen kann ich dieses Hotel wärmstens weiterempfehlen.

We wanted to stay in the old part of Dubai to get a different experience from the modern city. This hotel was excellent. The staff were very friendly and responded positively to all our requests. Some big 5 star hotels could learn from these people. There is a lovely art gallery on the premises with local art from contemporary artists. We didn’t eat much here because we wanted to explore the local restaurants but can recommend Turkish eggs for breakfast (poached eggs on a bed of natural yogurt with a basket of fresh pita bread). The coffee was excellent. If you want a simple hotel experience in this wonderful historic area you won’t do better than this hotel. Thanks to all of the staff who contributed to our wonderful stay here.

We planned our second honeymoon in Dubai, and not wanting to be in the city, we found this beautiful arts hotel downtown. When we first arrived, it was a maze to find the hotel, and we were slightly surprised by the size of the rooms; coming from the US, we expected a larger space. After bringing our concerns to the owner, Chander, he quickly accommodated us into their largest room. We also learned the room sizes are quaint due to the hotel being created after the historic area was built, leaving no room for restructuring. If any concerns came up, Chander came to the rescue! Once we were settled in, our adventure began. The Arts Hotel was picturesque. We ordered the breakfast package, which was delicious and filling. Additionally, each morning, we were greeted with Joy's smile. Joy works in the cafe and ensured we were taken care of and showed us the different areas we can walk around in the hotel. Outside of the hotel, there were many areas that we could walk to; there were countless restaurants and markets nearby, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the culture. Lastly, we were able to get our gift shopping done nearby as there were so many vendors offering many deals. When it was time to leave, we preordered an Uber, which continued to give us the runaround and eventually canceled 20 minutes after the pickup time. In a state of panic, we rushed to the front desk for help at midnight, and they quickly ordered a taxi for us, which arrived minutes later. The staff at the Arts Hotel made this experience memorable and comfortable. We will definitely be staying there again!

I hate to do poor reviews and held off reviewing it for a while - in the hopes the hotel would communicate about our awful experience, but they didn’t. I enjoy staying at unique and quirky accommodation and the XVA ticked the boxes with the price too. However we were utterly shocked at the condition of our room: We stayed as 2 adults and a young child for just one night. It wasn’t until I felt tickling on my skin whilst in bed, turned the light on and realised the bed and entire room, was teeming with ants. I’m not talking about one or two.. hundreds. With broken sleep and swatting them throughout the night, probably ate a few too.. we woke up early and swiftly left our ant infested room. The bathroom was riddled except they were all dead, including the towels to dry with after a shower. Shudder. We escalated our concerns immediately to management that declined any sort of reimbursement except “maybe a free stay?”. Tempting I’m sure, but no thanks. We tried to email to discuss further however our emails were never replied to. Such a shame as could be great but pest control needed asap. Poor service because of this and I wouldn’t recommend.

Peaceful small.old hotel with some restaurants nearby. Room was small. Staff were always helpful. Breakfast was cooked to order. Lots to see in this world heritage area

A quirky yet comfortable small hotel in the old quarter. Our room was very clean and serviced daily. The staff were friendly and helpful. We arrived very early in the morning well before the official check in time but it wasn't a problem and they let us into our room. The only minus was that it was the hot season (40oC plus during the day / late 30s at night) and the air con was off. We turned it on immediately and left it on the whole time were there but it took a good 24 hours before the room was comfortably cooled. Nevertheless we liked the hotel and would stay again. It's in a handy location about 20-25 minutes from the international airport (expect to pay around 30-50 AED for a taxi depending on the traffic - August 2023). The nearest metro station is around 10 minutes walk away and the abra (water taxi across Dubai Creek) was about 5 min walk. XVA Art Hotel is a bit tricky to find and your taxi will not be able to drop you at the front door. If you are dropped at the Arabian Teahouse, then walk up the lane to the left of it, turn right at the security guard booth, and you will see the entrance to XVA Art Hotel by the sculpture on the right of the big courtyard.

I had visited the café here in 2009, and finally decided to stay here on this trip. The hotel is a unique cultural experience. Used for a long time as a family home with beautiful courtyards, each room is unique and has its own charm. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Bikes are available if you wish to go for a ride, the addition of a gallery, shop and Café in one of the courtyards make this an ideal location especially if you want to explore old Dubai. Highly recommended.
