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.

It was a really nice Arabic experience at Al Seef, there are many places for photo, you can stay a night or two to experience the nearby tourist places if you want different Dubai experience!

🌈 👒 Imagine being transported to mystical UAE 🇦🇪. this fantastic hotel evokes a nostalgic charm 1001 Arabian Night in old Dubai Souq infused with contemporary modern style. The iconic hotel is situated @ the highly sought after Al Seet tourism attraction. The room overlooked the Dubai Creek River 💦.
The staff are incredibly warm, accommodating & helpful notably Mr Vaseem (Bell Desk) whom chauffeur us around in his buggy 🚙 + Mr Shaiq (Travel expert) whom is superb professional & awesome, showing the best of Dubai to us via the not to be missed Global City theme park & Dessert Safari & Sand Dunes bashing 🚘 🐪 🐫 with buffet dinner & entertainment shows. Shopping 🛒 🛍️ & authentic Emirati cuisine- Jumeriah Kitchen is right @ your doorstep 🛼🛼. We had a best time ever 🍾🥂. Highly recommended 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

It's a very nice area where you can enjoy traditional aqualife. It's like a world that goes back in time. Modern people may need a break here. But even though the environment is like that, life is safe. The rooms are also fun because they adopt historical designs from that time, but the system is new so it's comfortable. The people are especially friendly, and the roomkeeping staff also care about the guests. Thank you LAXMAN. Your concern for me during my stay made me like this place even more.

We stayed for only one night. The room was a short walk from the lobby and breakfast room. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay as well as the breakfast.
The hotel is close to lots of cultural highlights of old Dubai.

Amazing location. Interesting buggy service to go to the room. Breakfast was not good as expected. But A La Carte menu was good. A bit disappointed since no minibar, no room service for drinks. Decoration and design was amazing. I felt like it’s real Dubai

We booked this hotel for it's traditional vibe and location on the creek and we were happy that we did. The hotel is dispersed over the Al Seef area which has resaurants ans shops and is nice to walk through. The rooms were nice and comfortable with all the things you will need and the breakfast was delicious. The team were VERY helpful booking us attractions, giving advice and even showing us places to go.
Thouroughly reccomend!

Al Seef Heritage Hotel is one of a kind if you are looking to stay in The Old Dubai.
They do have great breakfast which I strongly recommend to get. The swimming pool and the Spa is just a short buggy drive away if you are looking for a relaxing day. The staff is extremely polite and very helpful. Sameh (Mr. Great smile ) made my breakfasts very delightful and Ramesh as well that made sure my room was always clean. Thanks to everyone at the hotel for making my stay memorable 🙏
Al Seef has plenty of souvenir shops, on top of that for just 4 Dirhams round trip you can get to the souks through an Abra and explore more.

Hotel itself is nice and clean, staff is friendly and available. However I was expecting it to be more “real” instead I found Al Seef area to be just a major tourist trap, fully surrounded by souvenirs shops… not the feeling I expected old Dubai to be. If you are into these things fair enough
