What guests think

At Arabian Courtyard Hotel & Spa, travelers consistently highlight the convenient Bur Dubai and Meena Bazaar location and generally friendly staff, while noting spacious yet dated rooms, inconsistent cleanliness and maintenance, mixed facilities with elevator problems, and breakfast quality that varies.

Many appreciate proximity to the creek, souks, and budget shopping, plus on-site restaurants, a small pool, spa treatments, and easy transport access. Critiques recur around worn or smelly linens, occasional pests, dark or tired decor, intermittent AC, hot water or TV faults, and some frustrating front-desk experiences. Expect a convenient, good-value base in old Dubai, with service often warm but facilities and upkeep showing their age.

I've stayed many times in this hotel, but it seems in recent years, it's going downward only. All my customers around also said this hotel quality reduced too much. The luggage and front desk service and Sherlock Holmes bar are good and excellent. But the reception and environment of whole hotel are very worse. I booked for one room with two twin beds but they only provide one room and reluctant to admit it's their mistake. The environment and route to everywhere are terrible. cleaness very bad, you can see stains on pillow, sheets... elevators not functioning safe and comfort, air conditioning always crazy hot during day time and freezing cold at night and no way to adjust....service and facility all worse than ever seen. This is a hotel I will never stay and will only give bad credit to others.

The hotel is located in Meena Bazaar, Bur Dubai, with lots of Asian shops and restaurants. Abra-station (water bus) is a mere 5min walk away - take the Abra to Deira for 1 Aed! clean hotel, a little cold room - AC was too good, I guess! Hotel needs to be shined up a little, but is nice, generally speaking. Its a good 3.5 star hotel.

What large, spacious rooms they were too. Comfortable beds and a spacious bathroom. Good shower. We even had a separate lounge with a sink and microwave. The staff were amazing greeting us each time as long lost friends. Everyone was so willing to help. Swimming pool looked great but unfortunately ran out of time to have a swim as there was too much to do. Our room was serviced well providing bottles of water which was much appreciated. Beds lovely and comfortable. Would love to return.

The website's high ratings raised my expectations, but unfortunately, the experience fell short. While the location was convenient, the rooms need significant updates, as the one we stayed in was overly dark. Although the towels and linens were clean, they were noticeably worn and in need of replacement. The service was commendable, but the hotel could benefit from some much-needed upgrades to enhance the overall guest experience. Lastly, there was no mention of the Dubai Museum being closed for nearly two years, which is a highlight of the location.

I am writing to formally express my deep dissatisfaction with the unethical and unprofessional treatment I have received from Arabian Courtyard Hotel regarding my recent reservation. I cancelled my reservation two days before my schedule check -in, Yet I was still charged for the full four- days stay. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this fairly, including four emails and multiple phone calls, their management has been completely unresponsive, Shockingly, my calls were even hung up twice, which is entirely unprofessional and unacceptable. Asa good will gesture, I requested to be charged for only one night instead of the four- full day stay. Even Expedia intervened d on my behalf, they refuse to coperate. This conduct is not only unethical and unprofessional but also potentially illegal under consumer protection law. I demand an immediate refund for the excessive charged beyond a one -night stay. I am prepared to escalate this matter to Dubai's Department of Tourism.

I've been to many hotels in my life, and I would NOT call this a hotel. I booked it for two nights, and left the hotel in the MIDDLE of the FIRST night for a different hotel. The windows had paint, dirt, scratches all over them. There were weird holes in the ceiling. Nothing in the hotel had been cleaned in a long time it seemed. All the outlets were physically broken. EVEN the main elevator was more dirty and awful than I could have imagined, it seemed as if people were just spitting in it and no one was cleaning it. I was planning on leaving the day after I checked in because of the conditions, but the reason I just had to leave in the middle of the night was because of the night manager. He was a Pakistani guy, I forget his name, but he DID NOT KNOW how to speak with another HUMAN BEING. Most disrespectful person I've ever encountered. Even simple genuine questions or requests, he completely threw a tantrum about. DO NOT STAY IN THIS HOTEL

Beware of the mosquitoes in the lounge area! Really Disappointed that hotel charged us for breakfast but did provide the breakfast take out on the day of early checkout at 6:00 am with kids! Room was good size with little kitchenette however we had issues with lights not working which took few attempts to fix. Housekeeping was good but there was never enough complimentary water in room for all the guest. Staff were pleasant and happy to assist when required. Shuttle service to LeMer beach was also good. Location not recommended for relaxing holiday. Area is surrounded by markets, very dusty Definitely not a 4 star hotel….Having stayed in so many hotels and for Dubai standards i would give it 2 stars.

Great service by reception desk, the restaurant at the 7th floor and the cleaner who took care of our room. The room looks a bit dated but everything works and it was not an issue. No outside noise, TV had western channels and aircon works really well. I'd stay there again and recommend the hotel to other travelers who want to stay near the old Dubai, instead of the flashy new districts. Thank you for the great service.
