Frommer's "Inside the Bastakiya old quarter area, XVA is one of the best inexpensive finds in Dubai." Full review
Concierge "Artsy expatriates are drawn to XVA, especially on a Wednesday, when it plays host to offbeat art-house films and lectures."
Fodor's "Dubai's first boutique hotel still has a faithful following of trendy guests, and it's easy to see why." Full review
Insight Guides "No other paid accommodation in Dubai can compete with the XVA Gallery’s authentic Arabian offering."
DK Eyewitness "This elegant hotel in a restored courtyard house is full of atmosphere. The stylish hotel rooms are minimalist in design."

Afar Magazine "There is a running trail along Dubai Creek and the hotel can recommend nearby beaches, and fitness centers at all price points." Full review

Lonely Planet "Key features here are sumptuous beds and giant picture windows overlooking the Palm Deira." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Stunningly situated and completely renovated, the Hyatt Regency has spectacular views over the Arabian Sea."
Rough Guide "This gargantuan five-star stands in monolithic splendour on the northern side of Deira, conveniently close to the Gold Souk and city centre."
Time Out "You simply won’t find a more feature-laden hotel in the city. Pool and gym, check. Bars and nightclub, check. Revolving restaurant, check. Private golf course, check." Full review
Star Service "Set aside in its corner of Deira just seconds from the gold souk, this majestic edifice stands watch over the creek and the ambitious Palm Deira project still being created out of the sea." Full review

Expect little in the way of special attention to individual requests as this hotel is geared toward groups.
Oyster Upscale
