Middle East Accommodation

If you want a hotel with character in Dubai then the Arabian courtyard and Spa is perfect. It feels eastern butwith modern comforts and the staff are amazing. Nothing is too much trouble and they wil go out of their way to help. We booked an executive room which didn't cost a lot more but came with breakfast, coffee, soft drinks and cakes all day and three branded alcoholic drinks each evening with canapes. These were all served in the Executive lounge which never got busy and was a lovely place to relax. Ask for a highfloor room overlooking the museum and you should also get a view of the creek. The hotel is in the Silk Souk which actually means loads of material shops selling every type of material you can think of and will also make clothes for you. Dubai creek was a short walk away through tiny alleys selling all sorts of goods. They do try to sell you things but arenot as pushy as Egypt or Tunisia. On the other side of the creek is the gold and spice souk and you can get across on an Arabic boat called an Abra which costs 20p.All in all a great place to stay.

Amazing!! if you have children this is a must everything you could ask for under one roof. Perfect! However be careful when you check out as things where added to our bill we had not used (internet & mini bar items) so double check you bill!!

Great location, with shopping, beach and restaurants at your door step.

Awesome hotel; great location on the beach. German restaurant, trader Vic's, Benihana and Finz! Great price for a five star hotel.

Very helpful staff, location was okay but taxi really cheap. Pool area was delightful. Would stay again.

Great staff, wonderful experience and a great location.

Very nice hotel! Great location within walking distance of restaurants and the Old City. We had a room for 3 adults which turned out to be more like a suite. My daughter slept on the sofa bed and was very comfortable. The breakfast was amazing, although the coffee could be hotter. The food and drink in the bar was also very good. We would stay here again. Free parking too!

A great location, central in Jerusalem, close to things we are interested in--Old City, Rehavia, Israel museum, German Colony, Ben Yehuda, across from Hechal Shlomo as well as the main Masorti synagogue--can walk or taxi everywhere. Front desk staff, mostly Jerusalem Arabs, are extremely helpful. Hotel guests are mostly religious Jewish, but this is not a problem. Very comfortable, easy to use/stay.
