"No other paid accommodation in Dubai can compete with the XVA Gallery’s authentic Arabian offering."

"One of the city's least expensive four-star hotels... the Coral Deira is less expensive than comparable hotels because of its location and no-alcohol policy." Full review
"A short drive from the airport, it dominates Muraqqabat Street and is one of only two five star hotels in Dubai that doesn’t serve alcohol (the Taj Palace being the other)." Full review
Upper-middle-range
"This 147-room upper-middle-range hotel is reasonably well-kept... the rooftop pool is large and has great views." Full review
