Barjeel Heritage Guest House v destinácii Dubaj

Nice clean traditional rooms and good breakfast. Downside is that you can not get near to the hotel by taxi but need to be dropped off at a taxi rank nearby and walk to the hotel. In that case you need to know where it is beforehand. The hotel is right on the creek and close to a large number of museums. A good option if you want something other than the standard large hotel.

Great location for Old Dubai. Our room had the barjeel - interesting.

This is a traditional hidden treasure. The Guest house is in a tradition Barjeel/ Wind building. The room was extremely spacious, outfitted with tradition furniture and a traditional feel. The bathroom was well equipped and modern and came with shampoo, lotion and body wash. There was a flatscreen with satellite. The room was perfect for my one night stay. The hotel is facing the creek which is lined with some great restaurants and sheesha spots. The Guest house is just a few steps from the metro which makes it ideal for getting around. The service at the hotel is virtually non existent, seems like there is one person that takes care of the reception, being a porter etc. I had to look for the person to check me in, wait, and same thing when I left. That didn't really bother me though. It really is a guest house and not a large hotel. It is quaint, traditional and cozy. I would stay there again.

Although parking is free, you must confirm with hotel for availability before booking. Hotel premise doesn't have own parking. The parking is big issue in nearby area too and RTA starts duty on time. After a hectic long day, I reached vehicle only 2-3 mins late, by then RTA finished their duty! And hotel obviously doesn't take responsibility even if they couldn't manage space for us.

Rustic with a little touch of authenticity and great service, but you need to do your homework to find it, taxi drivers need guidance. So identify the location on Bing or google maps, and use your phone's gps to guide the taxi driver to the hotel. Breakfast is good, internet works well, location is right in the old part of town with everything in reach by food. - To get to the new part, you either can take the subway or a taxi. We had chosen this hotel for a few reasons: - not too far from the airport and also close to the cruise terminal - it's location in old town - it's old-time charm: it once was the residence of the sheik (in the 1950s?) and then was transformed into a guest house
