XVA Art Hotel, Dubai

Beautiful place, super friendly staff and great location!

We loved everything about this hotel. We have never stayed at a more amazing, comfortable and welcoming place. The people made it feel like home and we spent a lot of time taking in the ambiance and the delicious food! We had the exquisite moon room and it really spoke to us. The art work and the decor took our breath away. We just couldn’t praise this place enough! Do yourself a favour and make this part of your journey, you won’t regret it!

Breakfast was great! Located in a quiet, beautiful area, close to art galleries and eateries.

XVA is super charming and lovely. Clean and easily accessible.

The faucets were a bit difficult.

Beautiful hotel. Excellent service. Great location. I have enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend it.

Very nice old building, full of secret places to relax, staff helpful, good food and fantastic location in the old Dubai.

Nothing to report.

We both really liked our stay here! We were doing a day stopover in Dubai and it's the perfect place to stay if anyone is doing anything similar. It's located in the historic part of Dubai, and I loved the architecture and decor – the upstairs roof terraces are real highlights! The breakfast is great too.

It's quite close to the airport so you might be bothered by planes if you're a light sleeper.

The ambience and authenticity of the hotel. The courteous service and excellent food quality are worth noting too.

Leaving!

Coziness of the place

No parking provided for the car

tranquility, quiet excellence of service, location, wonderful building

there’s absolutely nothing to not like

The place is beautiful and retains more traditional architecture and art. Staff was wonderful. Loved the location (short walk with luggage from the main road) within Old Dubai. I much prefer this accommodation to large skyscrapers that could be anywhere in the world. This maintains local character.

WiFi didn’t connect in the room. I used hot spot from my cellular data or worked in the cafe area. Room was bit dark if the windows are closed and at night.

A very charming hotel, in a historical district of Dubai with amazing architecture. Persian merchants definitely had a sense of beauty and comfort.

Love the beauty and creativity of this place. Staff are lovely.

Food nice, but I think it could be better. Veg-fish diet fine, but not exceptional.

This is the most amazing hotel I have found in Dubai. It is more than beautiful, skilfully furnished by the owner and managed in such a friendly, courteous and professional way that it is the most delightful place to stay in the middle of Dubai in the Bur district, the Al Fahidi neighbourhood, close to the ferry, a metro station, taxis and busses. The hotel is exquisite, elegant, unusual with its different rooms, artwork, inner courthouse and terraces. But that is not all, the manager Chandra handles all your questions, his favourite saying is "I will help you", the staff in the kitchen, at the bar, in the shop is polite, forthcoming with ideas, guidance, help. Whatever you want, you will find it or get it from them. Breakfast is excellent, food is available all day until 6pm. The rooms have everything and more than you need: ironing board, hair dryer, robe, extra towels, travellers' plugs, etc. The neighbourhood is to be discovered: historical Dubai, old city. It is very quiet, super well managed, just outstanding! And I forgot the white piano.....you can play it! Thank you Mona Hauser, thank you team, I will come again. Mariana Amar

nothing.

A hidden gem in Al Fahidi close to Dubai museum, Souq Al Kabir, Al Seef and the beautiful Creek. It has a lovely cafe in the big patio and an art gallery. The rooms are simple, with the charm of the past. Staff was very nice.

Dear XVA Team, We had a great experience at your beautiful hotel with the history. The Hotel staff are welcoming, always ready to help. Thanks to General Manager for fast checkin and explaining what to see nearby. Breakfast was fresh and delicious with local touch. Really liked that the team placed welcome amenity - fruits and water with lemon. Every detail in XVA art hotel is the true art. And it was nice to meet with Mrs Mona Hauser. I wish more and more positive reviews from guests.

Breakfast. It will be nice if guests can have two options of coffee (americano or cappuccino/latte). I do not prefer black coffee, and separate milk wasn’t enough.

Amazing boutique hotel in the heart of old town, located on the bank of channel. Friendly and helpful personnel. Beautiful and cosy artisan design of hotel and rooms make you feel like you’re in Arabian fairytale. Perfect place for city getaway.

Love this hotel- fantastic boutique hotel. Beautifully designed, decor great and courtyard restaurant fabulous. Art gallery amazing and so central. Great service and lively room

Everything perfect

Great location, fab style, lovely staff and relaxing - great value!

Relaxing and location, with an art gallery and local Arabic Tea House! Just fab.

It's an interesting hotel, in an older mansion, I believe. The staff were very nice. The district is an older one, but one that has been so completely refurbished that it seems not quite real.

The room was tiny. It's also difficult to get to from a taxi because it's in a pedestrian-only area. However, the hotel sends you instructions. There are a lot of tourists in the neighborhood during the day.

Loved the uniqueness of this hotel. Staff was extremely friendly & very helpful. The room was perfect for our needs. There was also some good local restaurants near the hotel If you did not want to eat in-house.

Location was a bit of an issue as getting a taxi proved to be difficult if you wanted to go to the city of Dubai.

XVA provides a personal and enriching experience, perfect for art lovers, history enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a tranquil city escape. It's where modern luxury meets timeless charm, leaving cherished memories behind.
