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
Travel + Leisure "Owned and operated by the XVA Gallery, the XVA Hotel is located in the Bastakiya district." Full review

"The Taj Palace Hotel certainly comes across well on paper; with a rooftop pool, five restaurants, and an on-site spa, this Dubai hotel is an impressive addition to the luxury Taj chain." Full review
Jetsetter "Family-friendly retreat in Dubai's historic Deira neighborhood with huge rooms and a rooftop pool."
Star Service "This airport-convenient hotel offers little for the leisure traveler, but perhaps that's why business guests love it. " Full review
