Al Seef Heritage Hotel Dubai, Curio Collection by Hilton

Superb atmosphere, inside the room and out. Decor and feeling in the room is top, exactly what it says on the tin but obviously without actually traveling back in time for convenience. Only difficulty was finding our room again as it is literally in the middle of this old town market, and if your sense of direction isn't the best you might struggle.

Love this place! Super pretty with cool old city vibes and great decor. The room was clean and nicely done, and the staff were friendly. Great Stay!

All staffs there are super nice and friendly and helpful but the room floorboard is little bit dust or dirty but acceptable, room very nice and hotel area is very nice too, enjoy sunrise and sunset, air condition is perfect not cold and not hot Thank you everyone there

I stayed here for 3 nights in early May. The experience was amazing. Special thanks to the lady at the reception Alice, she was very professional and friendly. I was upgraded to the suite which was so nice and elegant. I have been to Dubai several times and Al seef is definitely my favourite place.

I was really impressed with Al Seef Heritage Hotel and how well it showcases the cultural and historical side of the UAE. Staying here felt like stepping back in time—I honestly didn’t feel like I was in Dubai at all. It was a refreshing break from the usual high-rises and fast-paced city life. I wish more hotels had this kind of concept because it really gives a different perspective of the place. We arrived a little early for check-in (which is at 3 PM), but the place was packed with tourists, so we had to wait until around 3:30 PM to get our room. It wasn’t ideal, but I get that it was a busy time. What I found different about this hotel is that after check-in, we had to find someone to take us to our actual hotel building, since the rooms are spread out across different structures in the heritage district. Luckily, we met Sameh, who had a great attitude and really lifted our mood. He made sure we were comfortably taken to our room by golf cart, which was a nice touch. Ashok was also super helpful and always ready whenever we needed something. The room itself was amazing—it really gives off a traditional Emirati feel, which is a cool change from the typical modern hotel vibe. The design, the details, even the way the lights were set up—it all added to the experience. Beds were comfy, way better than most hotels I’ve stayed at. The only thing to keep in mind is that this hotel is more about heritage and culture than luxury, so don’t expect ultra-modern interiors. Breakfast at Sabaa Restaurant was decent—not mind-blowing, but good enough. The location, though, is one of the best parts. It’s right in the Al Seef heritage area, which means you can easily explore souks, traditional shops, and cafés. Deliveries are also possible, which is a plus. It really gives you that old Dubai vibe while still being close to everything. The service was good overall, but since the hotel is spread out, getting from one place to another takes a bit of time. We requested a late check-out, and they could only extend it until 1:30 PM due to high occupancy, which was understandable. Would I stay here again? Definitely. It’s such a unique experience that you won’t get in most hotels in Dubai. If you’re looking for something different from the usual glitzy skyscraper hotels, this is a great place to try. Just be prepared for a slightly slower pace, since the layout is a bit different from a standard hotel. Would I recommend it? Yes, especially if you want a stay that feels like a cultural experience, not just a hotel stay.

My 2nd time in Dubai. And I returned to this hotel to stay because its very nice area, near to shops, near to airport, near to Dubai creek easy access to Old Dubai for shopping via water taxi of 1 dirham. My parents enjoyed the aesthetics or concept of this hotel.
