⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My mum and I had a wonderful stay at the unique and charming XVA Hotel in Dubai. The service was excellent and our room was absolutely beautiful. The whole hotel has such a special vibe. A huge thank-you to Joy and Demrick for their outstanding service—second to none. And Stephen, we can’t thank you enough for being so especially helpful. Highly recommended!

A very artistic hotel as the name suggests. It is the neighborhood of the heritage museum so a little too touristy, but that is not a concern. Very nice staff and a decent café with varieties for everyone.

A very peaceful place, with a lot of suprises. The staff is very nice and available, the room was perfectly equipped and clean. Don't hesitate to go - even just for the gallery or to take a coffee - it also worth to stay !

For my post Birthday celebration me and my partner stayed here for a night. The place is really cozy and unique. The place is also quiet and very serene. I love the interiors as its giving the Old Dubai vibes. The staff are very accommodating and polite. We opted for breakfast inclusion which has less variety to choose from. But still portions are good and delicious. The place is very accessible to galleries, and other establishments. All in all it was a great experience staying here as I have always wanted to try this local kind of Hotel setting.

We stayed at XVA Art Hotel for 8 wonderful nights with my wife and our cat — and it truly felt like a home away from home. The staff were absolutely fantastic: warm, friendly, and always ready to help with anything we needed. Their kindness made our stay even more special. The rooms, while not large, are cozy, well-designed, and equipped with everything you might need for a comfortable stay. One of the highlights for us was that the hotel is pet-friendly — a rare and valuable find in Dubai. Our cat felt completely at ease here, exploring the peaceful courtyard and soaking up the relaxed vibe. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for the warm welcome and all the support throughout our stay. This is more than just a hotel — it’s a place full of heart and character, and we’d love to come back again.
