We consider it fortunate that we were able to stay at the Orient Guest House. It was such a delight to enjoy the historic atmosphere of the hotel and it's surrounding area. The staff were most helpful and welcoming, the breakfast was very good and the room comfortable and just so charming. Thank you Orient Guest House and staff for making our visit to Dubai a wonderful experience.

Chic, old-Dubai style guest house - highly recomme

I was so glad that I stumbled on this place and spent two nights here. This is a chic, old-Dubai style guest house that is a stone throw's from Dubai Museum and the Textile souk. It is located in the Al Fahidi Historic District. I had no regrets at all booking the place. Hot showers and working air-conditioning, with a very comfortable bed. THe breakfast was buffet styel and more than sufficient. The price - it was a very good deal - well worth the money. To top it off, the staff were excellent and very accomodating to my requests. My friend and I came in at 5am and they accomodated us in the Majlis (a room for us to rest) and even agreed to change my friend's breakfast to the first day. He entertained my many other queries as well and was so very patient - thank you so much Patric! The lady at the reception (Lorena) was also great and very helpful! The hotel has no gym and pool but you can head over to their parent hotel the Arabian Courtyard Hotel where you can use their facilities free of charge. I would not hesitate to stay at the Orient Guest House again if I return to Dubai and I highly recommend this place to anyone who want to explore a different side of Dubai.

Lovely accommodations and friendly owner

Lovely inn in a beautiful old village. The accommodations were much nicer than expected given how rustic the rest of the town was. The owner was very kind and hospitable, serving coffee and dates upon arrival (a true Omani tradition). Dinner and breakfast were delicious and made my the owner's family next door. We even got a tour of the family home and plantation the following morning. Will definitely stay here again next time we go to Oman!

Escape hyper modern Dubai to enjoy its history

Enjoy a unique historic experience in a hyper modern city. Great place to stay, and convenient location. True, many cab drivers do not know the Orient Guest House, but my airport cab driver just had to call to get specific directions. Google Maps also knows where the hotel is and can be helpful for cab drivers. The guest house is located inside the Al Fahidi Historical District, very close the river. While you can see signage for Orient Guest House from the road, you do have to walk about 75 meters to get into the courtyard of the guest house where you check in. When I departed and knew the area, I just walked an easy 10 minutes to the Al Fahidi Metro station and went to the airport for just AED 8. The taxi from the airport cost me AED 65. When you stay here, you'll know you're in the Arab world - this is definitely not an ordinary, modern, personality-free hotel that exists in any city or country. Room was comfortable with old world Arab furniture, the door was a double wood door with a giant pirate chest looking paddle lock. The breakfast was tasty with some Arabic offerings in addition to the usual scrambled eggs. Very friendly staff.

Charming guest house, full of character.

The Orient Guest House, built round a courtyard in traditional Arabic style, is a peaceful haven in Dubai's old quarter, close to art galleries and museums, and on the edge of a maze of shady, stone-paved streets. It's remote from both the glitz of the high rise hotels and the bustle of Bur Dubai.

Great location in the historic section of Dubai

As my wife and I wanted to visit the older section of Dubai, ahead of taking in the "glitz" of the modern city the hotel was in a wonderful location, close to the Creek and to the Dubai museum - staff are very friendly and accommodating - very comfortable room and we were provided with generously sized breakfasts - we will be back!

small and pleasing but difficult to find initially

in the old part of town, close to the creek and 15 min walk to metro. large and tasty breakfast, accomadating staff. its situated opposite the post office on al fahidi street-good to know as there is no house number on address, and al fahidi st is quite long. lovely room, 4 poster bed, aircon etc. there was a telly in my room, but every 2 minutes the signal would go and u would have to turn it on again. i did ask staff about this, who said they would get it looked at, but that didnt happen, so i had no telly-not a terrible thing, but nice sometimes in the eve.

A great find

This hotel is in a great location for exploring Dubai. It is located in the Al Fahidi historical area - an interesting place containing, amongst other things, some enticing doorways that lead into wonderful art and cultural exhibitions. It is also a very easy walk to the Al Fahido Metro Station, the Dubai museum, local markets and the small ferry boats over the river to the fascinating markets and souks. The hotel was QUIET, well air-conditioned, clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. This place is great value for money.

Comfortable with great staff!

This hotel was in a great location to walk around some of the historical areas of the city. There were many art galleries and cafe's nearby. Once out on the main road there are many shops and more restaurants available. Taxis are easy to get also. Did not use the bus, but did walk about 1km to the nearest metro station.

Cute guest house walking distance to Dubai museum

This is a cute guest house with kind staff and an excellent location. We were around the corner from Dubai museum, Dubai creek and Al Fahidi metro station. It's part of the heritage village and right next door to an excellent middle eastern restaurant. I am so happy we stayed there. Breakfast was not very good and also wifi was not always reliable in the rooms themselves.

A lovely place to stay

We only stayed for one night, the room was traditional and very comfortable and we had a great night's sleep. There is a lovely quiet internal courtyard where breakfast was served. The location was within easy walking distance of the Metro and for exploring the souks. We would thoroughly recommend for people wanting to get away from the busy areas of Dubai. Wonderfully friendly staff would definitely recommend this guesthouse.
