The best boutique hotel in Dubai! Highly recommend if you are looking for the real old Dubai experience! Perfect immersive atmosphere, quiet and peaceful. Flowers, birds and perfumed air right next to the water. Very friendly and attentive staff in all of the areas, from reception to the restaurant! I'd love to mention of all them but I lost the list of names I could say that the service was as close as the one I got at St. Regis!!! Great breakfast options with a very extensive menu, a lot of nice local dishes, the breakfast coffee is prepared by a barista and all the food is Top quality. I would definitely go back. I booked a terrace room in an high floor, with my own little outdoor space and a fantastic sunset view over the traditional roofs on one side and the water view on the other. Please make sure you stay at least a couple of nights and flavor the full Emirati experience!

The best part of this hotel is the service and the staff — very friendly and extremely courteous. Their warmth more than makes up for any small shortcomings during the stay. The location is fantastic if you want to explore historic Dubai and be close to all the main shopping areas. The hotel features a charming courtyard with a vintage, antique-style setup. Breakfast is Arabic and absolutely amazing. Overall, a mesmerizing stay — though the cost is a bit on the higher side compared to other hotels in the area. Highly recommended for a one time experience but for a repeat only if you get a deal.

This has to be the most beautiful Hotel I’ve ever stayed at. The Hotel is single story in 2 parts, the 1st part opened in 2023 & the 2nd part in Jan 2025. It only has 18 rooms. The service was excellent & the whole place is traditional in style. The location is 25 meters from the Green line Metro (2 stops from the Red Line intersection), the Hotel is positioned on the Quayside of Dubai Creek. I would recommend anyone to stay in this Hotel, it’s an Oasis in Dubai

Beautiful, peaceful new hotel in old Dubai

Truly excellent hotel in the quieter bit of Dubai. Intensely calming and peaceful rooms that were beautifully designed in a modern traditional style and spotlessly clean. Exceptionally friendly staff who went out of their way to help. The place is hard to find - ask taxis to drop you at the Ministry of Finance parking and walk ahead to the water’s the creek, turn left and the hotel is right there. Exceptional food too. Really highly recommend.

Residence of the rulers of Dubai in old days

The hotel is located in the heart of the old residence of the rulers of Dubai, where the scent of the past is emanating. All services are available on both banks of Dubai Creek, and prices are competitive. Abdel Falah, the Front Office Supervisor made my trip very good. Thank you for your help and assistance.

The Arabian Boutique Hotel is less than 5 minutes walk from the Al Ghubaiba Metro station and it overlooks Dubai Creek in the old part of Dubai (near the Gold, Spice and Perfume Souks); a great location for us. The Hotel kindly let us check in early as the room was available and its traditional Arab style was just what we were hoping for. All the hotel staff were very friendly and helpful during our stay; Beatrice looked after us most days at Breakfast and she was lovely (the food was too). The ladies that serviced our room did a great job and we loved the traditional look and feel of the Hotel. Highly recommended!

Loved my stay here. My sister and I really enjoyed walking around the area. The metro, the bus station, and the ferry boats are all close by so it is very easy to get around the city. The hotel is right at the water and is part of the beautiful historical area. We had a fun morning exploring the Al shindaga museum which is a short walk from the hotel. The decor in our room was lovely, there were so many nice details. Shout out to the staff who made my birthday amazing we wish we stayed longer!

For a different kind of stay in Dubai, walkable and on the water. Literally a short walk in the park to the stellar Metro station. A little confusing getting to the hotel as there is no direct curbside access to the hotel which, again, is on the water. I would recommend that you get out at the Metro station and take the short walk to the river. This hang up is well worth the peace and serenity of the hotel.

Dubai is a city of striking contrasts: gleaming futuristic skyscrapers on one side, and the timeless charm of its historic quarters on the other, evoking the magic of Arabian Nights. I’m particularly drawn to the latter—the authentic, atmospheric Old Dubai. Staying at the Arabian Boutique Hotel more than fulfilled my long-held dream of experiencing Arabia as it must have been a long time ago. The hotel and its rooms are truly beautiful, blending traditional architecture with modern comforts ( the bathroom!! ) all set in the the historic district. I have to give special mention to Sona (forgive any misspelling) and her colleague. After nearly 30 minutes of frustration with a lost and increasingly aggravated taxi driver navigating the labyrinthine streets, they personally came to meet me nearby—walking nearly two blocks (though “block” hardly describes the maze of medieval alleyways!)—to collect my luggage and guide me safely to the hotel. Their exceptional kindness and hospitality turned what could have been a stressful arrival into a warm welcome. My entire stay was wonderful, peaceful, and deeply immersive. If you’re seeking the what was of Dubai—its narrow lanes and genuine cultural vibe—I highly recommend this boutique gem in the Al Fahidi (Bastakiya) area. It’s the perfect escape from the glizzy and a true taste of Arabian heritage.

Review: A Hidden Gem – Arabian Boutique Hotel I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Arabian Boutique Hotel, and I must say—it exceeded all expectations. Nestled in a beautiful riverside location, the hotel offers a serene and picturesque setting, perfect for a relaxing escape. From the moment I arrived, the warmth and professionalism of the staff made me feel truly welcome. Their 7-star hospitality stands out, effortlessly blending luxury with genuine care. It’s rare to feel so at home in such a refined atmosphere. The rooms were spacious, immaculately clean, and tastefully decorated. Every detail was considered—from complete toiletry sets to even a loofa, which speaks volumes about their attention to guest comfort. One of the highlights was the seafood restaurant by the river, offering not only delicious cuisine but also a memorable dining experience with stunning views. This hotel honestly surpasses many 6-star resorts I’ve visited. I wholeheartedly recommend it and look forward to returning. A true jewel in the hospitality world.

Arabian Boutique Hotel

Fantastic hotel, fantastic staff. For me it was the perfect location in old Dubai. The whole experience of staying in the Arabian Boutique Hotel was made all the better because of Ahmad and all his staff. Every single member of staff was amazing. I ate in the restaurant most days because I thought the food was excellent. If you are looking for the glitz of a Dubai Hotel with a pool in your room or 400 tv channels, then this isn't for you. This hotel is for people who want to be in the heart of the old town and who value contact with staff and locals. The hotel is spotlessly clean the bed was incredibly comfortable, the bathroom was great, everything you needed. Overall for me, it was Ahmad and his staff who made my 7days in the hotel something I will never forget. I felt like I was invited to stay in his home rather than a hotel and I could ask for anything more from these fantastic people. I loved every second of my stay.
