Orient Guest House - Dubai

We are so happy to have stayed at the Orient Guest House on our recent short stay in Dubai. The service was wonderful with very helpful staff especially Lorena and the night clerk Biblal. The room was spacious with a very large new bathroom. It did need a little better lighting but was still wonderful with tasteful Arabic style furniture. The location […] was very good as the area was walkable with good restaurants closeby. Be sure to see the closeby museum and the cultural center. Read more

the hotel is good, the breakfast was ok, the price was high

Genuine Expedia guest review

What was advertised was not an exact match pertaing to the bed, internet and other amentities. the staff were very nice and helpful and the location is ideally suited for the heritage Village, Dubai Creek and Souks.

The staff is wonderful and they really try to make the stay very pleasant.

It was a pleasant surprise when I arrived the hotel. Although it's not near the metro but it is very close to a busy neighborhood where there are plenty of small eateries and shops. During my stay I found plenty of tourist straying into the guest house because of the allure of the setting. If you're looking for western style hotel where you gets everything […] then this one is not for you. It's private and has a lovely courtyard and a lovely rooftop sitting area. It's close to the Dubai Museum and is within walking distance to the creek which is vibrant. Staff are helpful and friendly. Many taxi driver did not know the place so tell them it's close to the Dubai Museum and will save you some money. There is limited free shuttle service to the airport. Read more

A perfect location. Room very dark because of lack of windows. A little hard to find.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is just located in the historical area in Dubai, so if you want to absorb yourself in the Arabian night this hotel would be a first choice. Also it is so easy to get to the Dubai musium, Old Souq and Gold Souq. Goos for sightseeing! Rooms are not so big however, neatly cleaned.

Check in was fine. The hotel staff was very helpful and accommodating as I had made the booking, but my travel companion was arriving before me. The hotel rooms were well decorated and very nice. The breakfast was very good as well. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The location of this guest house is very, very good, quiet and in the old quarter of Dubai. The staff is very nice, the breakfast can be better with fresh juices and the coffee was better the second day. BUT it was VERY, VERY, VERY DUSTY when I looked under the bed !!!! They must use a vacuum cleaner instead of a broom for the cleaning and shake and […] vacuum the carpets in the rooms. Yes it's an old house but it must be CLEAN. I will go back again in spite of this. Read more

I took Granny and my daughter on a short trip to Dubai for a girls' weekend. We were very impressed with Orient Guest House as it makes one feel being surrounded in an atmospheric Arabic setting, unlike big modern hotels that lack personal touches. We love having breakfast in the courtyard, hearing the birds sing and lapping in the morning sunshine. […] The rooms are very comfortable for 2 people. We had a child to share in the double bed, so space was compromised. Nonetheless, will book to stay there again as it is within walking distances to 2 Big Bus tour stops, and many shops and eateries are abound. It is located also within the Bastakia Quarters, where we bought some more saffron and had our names written in Arabic by a quaint old Arabic Master Calligragpher in his own shop 2 minutes walks away from OrientGH.

great staff and service. catered to all my needs promptly and i felt like they had been waiting for me all day.

Comfortable, spacious rooms with big beds. Staff were very helpful and welcoming. 24hr reception is great for early arrivals and departures. Good breakfast. Not far from the metro or Bur Dubai souq. Would stay again and recommend to friends.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The outside of the hotel is promising and the road style is appealing. The hotel has a sign advertising 24hr 'butler' service and although the small reception is manned 24hrs, the staff are actually not very able to help out with any normal hotel type requests (i.e. booking taxi's, arranging tours - that are not inflated in price to seemingly cut the […] hotel in on the deal, even a fax that had to be sent needed to wait until the morning so that the night duty staff member could check what the charge should be - surely a single page fax could've been sent without such trouble!).

I debated whether to stay in Orient Guest house vs. a 5 star hotel and I am glad I chose the Orient Guest house. The location perfect - surrounded by art galleries, muesums, lovely cafes, close to the creek and the souks. Breakfast in the courtyard with the other guests was a highlight. I was travelling with my 20 month old and it was great to be able […] to walk places, which wasn't o easy downtown as I found!. When we wanted to go further afield the Metro was quick and easy to use (taxis too!). Plus you had full use of Arabian Courtyard down the road for the pool, spa (which was very good), and free daily trips to Jumerieh beach. If souless hotels are not your thing then Orient Guest house is for you! Read more

I loved this hotel. It is conveniently located right in the heart of old town and close to the museum, river, cheap restaurants etc. but is still very quiet and relaxing. I loved the decor, its very simple but comfortable. There was a great selection of local and western food options for breakfast and the service was great. The best part of this hotel […] was that it provides a bit of an escape to all the other oversized and modernized monstrosities of Dubai. Read more

We enjoyed the stay. The building is an old courtyard stone house, not flash but comfortable. In an interesting area of old stone buildings in narrow stone alleyways that have been redeveloped as galleries and little shops, near the museum.Close to a stop on the hop-on bus route(recommended). Courtyard is not airconditioned of course, but rooms are. […] They did not respond to my email query about how to get there and we discovered after we arrived that the associated hotel The Arabian Courtyard Hotel has an airport shuttle we could have used. Used it to return to the airport. The hotel itself is fairly basic. The receptionist was very helpful. Read more

Wonderful location. Quiet stylish surrounds. Loved the court yard breakfasts

Genuine Expedia guest review

The Orient Guest House is a traditional-style riad in the so-called historic area of Dubai (in reality a cafe, guesthouse and arts precinct mimicking a medina). Its location is close to the wonderful Al Fahidi Fort Museum - not to be missed - and to the many dinner cruise boats moored on Dubai Creek. The guest house rooms are set around two courtyards […] - all on one level. Meals can be taken in the shaded courtyard or an airconditioned dining area. The guest rooms are comfortably furnished with contemporary bathrooms and in-room airconditioning. However, the airconditioner in my room was too noisy to leave on throughout a very hot night. Service is thoughtful and attentive. Read more

The cab drivers have never heard of the place so best to ask for the Arabian Courtyard Hotel and when they ask where that is say 'near the museum' and when they ask which museum, say 'the Dubai museum' then its a short walk to the hotel. Tip: don't get an airport cab unless money is no object. Walk away from the airport, dicing with death amongst the […] traffic, until you get to the perimiter road; it's thick with cheap cabs. Tip #2: If they give you room 8, don't shut the bathroom door unless there's someone in the bedroom; there's no handle and the door sticks - you could be stuck for hours because no one can hear you scream - trust me! But it's different as hotels go and fun! Read more

Our room was not as the photo that I saw. It was much smaller and not comfortable.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Need a break from the plasticity of Dubai? Head on down to this charming hotel in one of the restored windtower houses. It's a little quaint, but also very realxing, and it provides a feel for the history of the city. And that you can't get many places in Dubai.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

If you're looking for a modern flashy hotel, this is not the place for you. We loved this place. Traditional arab style with all rooms opening out into a courtyard. All rooms are air conditioned and our room was clean. Good selection for continental breakfast. The dining courtyard can get quite warm but it wasn't that bad first thing in the morning. […] All the staff were welcoming and willing to help in whatever way possible. There is no direct drive up to guest house but the road is only 100 or so yards away. The taxi drivers don't seem to know where it is, despite being on the Dubai hotel guide. Some locals say this is a ploy to earn a bit extra cash. The easiest way is to ask him to take you to their Sister Hotel - Arabian Courtyard Hotel and then ask the doorman to give the taxi driver directions - it is only just 200 yards down the road. They even let the Orient staff know that we were coming and welcomed us off the taxi and brought our luggage in. If you need to, free wireless internet is available and the connection was reliable from our room. The Guest House is well located within easy walking distance of the neighbouring Dubai Museum and to the water taxis to cross over to Deira. Would recommend this place to anyone after an authentic feel experience. Read more

die Hotelanlage ist in einem arabischen Stil erstellt. Sehr schön ist der offene Innenhof mit einem vorzüglichen Frühstück. Mir fehlte allerdings in meinem Zimmer ein Kühlschrank. Sonst aber ist alles klimatisiert. Die Fenster sind sehr klein und unerreichbar in gut 2 m Höhe.

Ten eerste verwacht je op die plek eigenlijk geen guesthouse, je zit midden in een "toeristische" actractie. Als je de deur binnenkomt stap je direct in een sfeervolle courtyard waaromheen de kamers gesitueerd zijn. In de courtyard wordt ook het ontbijt (in buffetvorm) genuttigd. Doordat de open bovenkant met een soort zonnescherm is afgedekt is het […] prima toeven. De kamers zijn echt heel mooi koloniaal ingericht, echt heel sfeervol. Wat ook heel fijn is, is dat je gebruik mag maken van het zwembad van een 4 sterrenhotel vlakbij. Wij hebben hier gebruik van gemaakt en dat loopt prima, je krijgt ook mooie badlakens aangereikt. Volgens de LP zouden de badkamers hier krap zijn maar bij onze kamer was dat in ieder geval niet het geval. Oke, een minpuntje dan, er is geen douche dus je doucht in het bad waar het douchegordijn te dicht om hen zit en dus constant aan je lijf plakt. Verder helemaal top!! Read more

El hotel , uno de los pocos que conservan un estilo Arabe tradicional , esta' situado en el centro "histórico" de la ciudad de Dubai.

Abbiamo soggiornato qui per 4 giorni. Il posto è davvero molto accogliente e intimo, tutto in stile arabo. Le camere danno su un piccolo cortile interno dove al mattino si fa colazione. Il personale è sempre molto gentile e c'è davvero 24 ore su 24 anche se le camere sono solo 10 in tutto! Molto silenzioso. Buona la colazione. Connessione internet wifi […] gratuita. E' nella zona migliore, secondo i miei gusti, per stare a Dubai e nello specifico in un quartiere della parte vecchia (Bastakiya) che la sera è senza traffico nè rumori. Dubai è una città in cui ci si sente al sicuro SEMPRE anche se si gira la sera tardi e si è donne. Ci tornerei subito! Vicino all'hotel c'è l'Old Souq e a circa 15 min a piedi ci sono sia il quartiere di Shindagha (bello per passeggiare la sera, molto il giovedì) e a 5 min dalla parte opposta inizia il Creek Walk (dove ci sono i battelli Dhow ristorante). Ci sono anche supermercati 24H e la metropolitana a 10 min a piedi. Il porto degli Abra è vicino all'Old Souq, quindi 5 min. Il taxi ti porta a 20 metri dall'hotel (che è in zona pedonale) lasciandoti su Al Fahidi St. Ci sono convenzioni con Arabian Courtyard Hotel e Spa (bellissimo!!) che è a 5 min a piedi per piscina, Spa, e palestra.

飛行機が遅れ、ホテル到着が午前２時になったのですが、ホテルのスタッフが非常に暖かく出迎えてくれました。 部屋のドアは大きな錠前でびっくり、部屋の中はまさにアラビア～ン。あ～アラブに来たと思わせてくれます。 設備は古く、お風呂のお湯の出が悪いのと、シャワーにならないのが難点でした。 朝、セーフティボックスが開かず、蒼白になってホテルのスタッフに伝えると、直ぐ来て、丁寧に対応してくれました。 朝食は夜到着時、リクエストにチェックしたはずだったのに、リクエストに書いてあったメニューのほとんどが出てきてびっくりしました。ごめんなさい、そんなに食べれません。 朝、バスタキヤ地区を散歩してクリークに乗って、スークに行きました。動きやすい位置にあると思います。 何でも世界一を目指す煌びやかなｲﾒｰｼﾞのド […] バイですが、昔のアラブ感が残る、こういったバスタキヤ地区にマッチしたゲストハウスで、スタッフもとても親切で、快適に過ごせました。 Read more

Das kleine Hotel (10 Zimmer) liegt zentral direkt in der Altstadt und ist eine Oase der Ruhe und Gemütlichkeit im hektischen Dubai. Es ist im orientalischen Stil eingerichtet, die Zimmer sind geräumig und mit allem ausgestattet, was man für einen Städtetrip benötigt (lediglich einen Kaffeekocher haben wir vermißt) . Es ist v.a. für Paare oder auch allein […] reisende Frauen geeignet, die die Stadt besichtigen möchten und nach einem langen Tag in der Stadt Ruhe mögen. Im 2 kleinen Innenhöfen kann man beschaulich frühstücken, hier treffen sich die Gäste und man kommt schnell ins Gespräch. Der WiFi-Empfang ist gut und man kann hier in Ruhe skypen, abschalten, lesen... Am Tag & Abend gibt es hier Getränke, Kuchen und Pizza (die von einer Pizzeria geliefert wird). Wer besser und abwechslungsreicher Abendessen möchte sollte ein Restaurant in der Nachbarschaft aufsuchen (z.B. das Bastakya Nights, das 5 Minuten zu Fuß entfernt liegt und gute arabische Küche anbietet oder das benachbarte Local House: hier gibt`s z.B. Kamel-Burger). Das Personal ist hilfsbereit, freundlich und spricht gut englisch. Wer möchte, kann den Pol, den Spa und die Restaurants des ca. 3 Minuten entfernten Arabic Court Hotels (zu dem das Guest House gehört) mit nutzen. Die Zimmer um den Innenhof am Eingang sind morgens etwas lauter, da die Türen zum Hof gelegen sind und hier ab 7.oo Uhr das Frühstück vorbereitet wird, nach einem Tag hat uns das aber nicht mehr gestört.

Man sollte an dieses Hotel keine europäischen Maßstäbe an 4**** Hotels anlegen. Es liegt zentral im alten Stadtkern von Dubai, schön aufbereitet und was für Romantiker. Der orientalische Stil ist eine attraktive Alternative zu den üblichen Businesshotels.

annorlunda och mysigt, men besvärliga trappor att bära resväskorna i. Belysningen var otroligt dålig, det gick ej att läsa i sängen. Möblerna var rustika och jättefina, men sängen stod så att man kliva över sin partner för att gå på toa. Läget var perfekt, nära soukerna och många affärer, väldigt centralt.
