"Very lovely staff. However, in one of the restaurants the soup served had worms in it. We were comped a meal in another restaurant as a result, but this was a serious issue. We were also charged twice for using the minibar and had to point this out to the hotel."

What is a historic hotel like in Dubai?
Historic hotels give guests a chance to stay in a building officially recognised with a national historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world have had many former lives and uses, such as castles, stately homes, palaces or even pubs, lodges, old police stations or skyscrapers — any place of special interest. These types of hotels in Dubai typically retain original characteristics such as period features or traditional architecture within the guestrooms or public spaces.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
The two are similar. "Historic hotel" is more commonly used in the U.S., while "heritage hotel" is often used in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to emphasise the architecture and actual building. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the place's cultural value and how it inspired the community.
Do historic hotels in Dubai have modern facilities?
Yes, efforts are made to preserve treasured traditions and historic facades, but interiors include modern conveniences and safety features. Tourists who book a stay should expect the popular amenities you'd find in a hotel such as Smart TVs, WiFi and updated bathroom facilities. Booking a historic hotel in Dubai doesn't mean you will stay in a place that's uncomfortable for guests or rundown.
