- Amany (10/5): - The place is very nice and clean All good
- Faress (7/5): - Emplacement Propreté
- Roque (3/5): Need to clean so it can attract the customer - Actually in the pic it's good but when I'm there it's different 😂 so nothing I like as my experience only the 2 receptionists are accommodating while I have trouble for the room I booked sadly I'm pissedoff The room is so dusty and does not need to have air freshener and check all the room ac not working it's so hot wifi slow and pool not open
And the lady in reception is so mean I just ask a little favor if I can check out at 1pm because I check in almost morning at 1:30 and upon arrival in our room we encounter a bad heater water needs to change and have rusk it's totally not recommended for me in my experience house keeping it's nice they asking us...
- Presenjit (8/5): -
- Aggarwal (6/5): -
- Sunil (1/5): sad hotel stay, it was not a good night - nothing is there to like, other than there is a bed to sleep! This hotel has deteriorated significantly and is heavily occupied by nightclub visitors during the evenings, making it an unsuitable choice for families. The overall atmosphere and crowd entering the hotel are not of a desirable standard.
There are many better hotel options nearby in Al Seef or Mankhool that would be worth considering instead.
The hotel appears to be managed by a single owner who is unwilling to accommodate any booking amendments and offers no flexibility. The staff are rude, and the management seems unconcerned about how the hotel operates or how guests are treated.
It seems the hotel’s main focus is the nightclub businesses operating on the ground floor, which dominate the property.
If you consider yourself part of a middle-class or upper-middle-class clientele, I would strongly recommend avoiding this hotel. The current management standards are very poor.

- vanita (8/5): Stay at Arabian Courtyard Hotel - All amenities are good.
Otherwise reception staff Mohammad Usman was exceptional commendable with his smiling friendly approach and went out of the way to change my room as it was a very chilly room on the first day. Breakfast the paratas were bit monotonous. Toiletries were not replaced daily until asked for.lacking bathroom slippers.
The AC from the bathroom makes the room chilly.

Serviabilité du personnel.
Emplacement non loin du Vieux Dubai. Restaurants à proximité. Look ancien et l'absence d'espace.
- Juan (1/5): Estafado - Me estafaron la reserva. Si estas buscando donde alojarte no es aqui, son unos estafadores, confie en ellos me fui y jamas me habian devuelto la reserva, en recepción me dijeron que la devolvian y una vez me retire del lugar pusieron que no. NO RECOMIENDO ESTE LUGAR, DESHONESTOS Y ESTAFADORES. Te recomiendo buscar una opcion mas confiable.

- Sergey (1/5): - Stuff was not bad, they tried to do the cancellation of my booking as it was very much understandable why I do not like the hotel. But as I reserved through Booking.com it suppose to be done by Booking as well. And it was challenging to contact with booking support to cancel my reservation. Horrible experience, seemed in the slums of Mumbai and not Dubai at all.
Location is the unbelievably bad. Nothing you can expect from Dubai, cleanness was bad, name should be Indian courtyard. Although staff was not bad, but the location and the whole environment is something to avoid.
- Jane (7/5): - The man in the coffee shop was kind and made great coffee.
We like the location. The food, breakfast was very poor quality, and so was the food we ordered from room service.
- Claudia (4/5): -
- Sagar (9/5): Good place to stay for budget travelers and great opportunity for shopping - Good location and a lot of food restaurants in it Room was a bit damp and a smell was there, old furniture may be, but it was clean .
- Aissata (10/5): Très bon séjour - Impeccable Rien
- Wael (7/5): Nice & clean hotel I would stay again - Gym swimming
Cafe bar lady from Naples was very helpful I tried to call back to see her to say Thankyou but unfortunately I did not see her Cafe staff near reception I did not like them using there phone all the time
I asked reception to change my room from back to Fri t no body came back to me

- dilip (7/5): -
- Ali (3/5): - توجد رائحة كريهة بالممرات
لا يوجد زر كهرباء للمصابيح مما أدى إلى ازعاجنا ليلا
تعطل بطاقة الغرفة بدون مبرر عند العودة ليلا مما أدى إلى انتظارنا لعامل الفندق ليفتح لنا الباب
- Ryad (10/5): Excellent séjour à l’Arabian Courtyard. Hôtel très propre, personnel professionnel et accueillant. L’emplacement est idé - Hôtel très propre, personnel attentionné et emplacement parfait. Petit bémol concernant le personnel en charge de la sécurité de la boîte de nuit : l’accueil était peu agréable, sans sourire et avec une attitude plutôt froide. Dommage, car le reste du personnel de l’hôtel est très professionnel.
- Flintmcc1956 (5/5): Rather old fashioned hotel - Near the Sook. Reasonable price, rather tired. Very noisy at night due to renovations to the Dubai Museum.
- Kulsum (8/5): -
- Nadia (8/5): - Gutes Frühstück. Schöne Zimmer. Bei uns hat das mit dem Licht nicht sehr gut funktioniert, es lies sich manchmal nicht einschalten oder schaltete sih in der Nacht selber ein, wurde aber schnell behoben.
- jivan (7/5): - Room were clean Availability of rooms for travellers before check in hours are not available..
Gets disturbing when with little kids
- BIBI FARZANA (8/5): - Staff were very welcoming.
Special mention of Mohamad Osman(hope this is right spelling of his name)
Osman always make you feel welcome,always smiling.
He goes extra mile to make your stay pleasant. Need laundry facilities.
Music too loud in corridor.
Music in lift a bit annoying.
May be need to improve on breakfast, more choice.
With the roadworks ongoing,was a hassle even by taxi.
So sad that could not visit the museum opposite it as still under renovation.
- Diana (10/5): - Personale cordiale, posizione strategica
- فهد (5/5): - السعر مناسب فيه رائحة في الفندق
- Ramilla (10/5): Excellent hotel to stay. I wish I could stay longer. - The location was really good to walk around. The attractions were within walking distance which was convenient and perfect, since I didn’t have much time.
I really appreciated that the receptionist was available 24/7, as it made me feel safe and well looked after. The staff were consistently helpful, especially Simon, Bilal, Sajjad, and Mr. Peters, who were attentive and accommodating to my needs. They were always available and willing to assist whenever I needed help. Simon, in particular, always greeted me with a big smile, even when he was clearly tired, which made a positive impression. Not a thing
- Navindren (6/5): - Very old school type considering its in Dubai. Not enough plug points. Too much of construction going on in area especially at night. Difficult to sleep.
- ابراهيم (1/5): -
- Marwa (3/5): -
- Lian (8/5): - Het zwembad. Vrij hard bed.

- عبدالله (1/5): مزعج البار وانا في الطابق الرابع بف بف بف لين الساعه 4 الفجر - أعجبني في الاستقبال فقط المغربيه منال كان تعاملها جدا لطيف ومتساعده معك هذا الذي اعجبني بشده لم يعجبني صوت لهنود عند خروجهم او دخولهم للفندق مزعجين ولا يقدرو احد في الغرف الي جنبهم او في لاين بلكامل لوك لوك لوك ما يسكتو ابدا في ناس نايمه وناس تبا الهدوء في الفندق م تحب الازعاج وهم شالين الدنيا بأصواتهم وصوت البار بليل بروحه عالم ولم يعجبني الانترنت ضعيف جدا ولم يعجبني TV لايوجد فيه سمارت ما تقدر تشوف يوتيوب كأنك عايش في زمن 2001
- Taskeen (10/5): -
- Gareth (8/5): - Nice little pool as well as gym and plenty of food & drink options. Handy location for the old town & creek - which is what I was after. Dubai museum is closed (since Covid, I think) and there is construction going on. A shame but staff were happy to move me to a quieter room with no problems.
Booking dot com promised a free airport taxi which wasn’t included but this is Booking dot com’s shortcoming, NOT the hotel’s. Not the first time the site has advertised falsely!
- puri (4/5): - I like the hotel location and the staff was very good and kind. The breakfast was horrible. Even after sharing a written complaint about the breakfast they still served nonsense not so edible food. Then there was the electricity issue yes imagine the first morning in the hotel with your family who are enjoying their first ever international trip and boom there is no electricity and not only that the other day we received a notice stating there will be no water supply so adjust and get your stuff done before it after that .
- Reinhard (7/5): -
- banjara (9/5): - Every thing 💖
