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."
Rough Guide "One of Dubai’s very few genuine heritage hotels, this atmospheric gallery-cum-café has seven guest rooms tucked away around the back of a fine old Bastakiya house."
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

Frommer's "This Sheraton overlooks Dubai Creek and is a convenient choice for travelers wanting to be based near Dubai's older neighborhoods." Full review
Fodor's "As the oldest hotel on the creek, the Sheraton opened to great fanfare in the early 1970s, but it's showing its age."
DK Eyewitness "About as close to the Creek as you can get, it’s as if you’re right on top of the shimmering water when you’re in the elegant rooms at this striking hotel."
Rough Guide "This old-fashioned five-star enjoys a good central location, a scenic creekside setting, opulent public areas... and an unusual wedge-shaped atrium dotted with palm trees."
Star Service "Using a combination of beige sandstone, teal blue glass and multileveled towers, the building mirrors the constantly evolving skylines of this Middle Eastern urban oasis." Full review
The Wall Street Journal "The Sheraton Dubai Creek has views of Dubai’s foundational waterway and the ancient-looking dhows that still ply its waters."
