Al Seef Heritage Hotel Dubai, Curio Collection by Hilton

The hotel is situated in the middle of a Souk. The buildings are scattered over a large area. For a person that is not accustomed to the style of the in color. all look the same. There is no signage on the buildings to indicate the number of the building. There is no signage throughout the Souk letting guests know how to get to the restaurant or the lobby. The hotel has a golf cart service to take the guests from one place to another. However, the wait time for the service is between twenty minutes up to more than an hour. I upgraded my room to a room with a balcony. The reason is that i love to sit on the balcony and watch the world go by. To my surprise, the sitting arrangements were two extremely old, wabling chairs. I understand that the hotel is 12 years old. However, being part of Hilton, I am confident that there is a maintenance budget. The same goes for the coffee machine that didn't work. And the hotel water Kattel that I had to ask to be replaced. The bedsheets were old and off-white.the breakfast buffet was monotonous, and the non middle East foods were made as if to use the most inexpensive ingredient. For instance, the potatoe salad had by far too many podcasts and no other or not noticeable other ingredients. The same goes for the Walldorff salad. Previous to this hotel, I had stayed at XVA art hotel, which is built on the same concept .where the management seems to care for the property and the experience.

I had a wonderful stay at Al Seef Heritage Hotel! The property truly captures the charm of traditional Emirati architecture — beautifully designed with authentic details that make you feel part of history. The rooms are spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated, blending comfort with heritage style. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, always ready to help with a smile. The location is perfect — right by the creek, surrounded by Al Seef’s lovely shops, cafés, and restaurants. It’s peaceful at night yet full of life during the day, offering the best of both worlds.

Amazing service, top hotel. Thoroughly enjoyed it, would defnitely visit again if next in Dubai.

Enjoy the traditional hotel style. Just unique experience to live in the old town. You can take pic with Starbucks just with less than 1 min walk and have lots places to shop and eat!

Great location and cozy room. Is well maintained and staff are helpful and friendly.

The atmosphere was beautiful and the staff very welcoming and helpful. The area of the hotel is at the center of Dubai and it will be perfect for winter weather to have walks all around the area
