Al Seef Heritage Hotel Dubai, Curio Collection by Hilton

HANLIN ZHONG

Review for Al Seef Heritage Hotel Dubai, Curio Collection by Hilton I recently stayed at Al Seef Heritage Hotel Dubai, Curio Collection by Hilton, and it was an unforgettable experience. The hotel is located in the charming Al Seef district along Dubai Creek, offering a perfect blend of traditional Emirati culture and modern comfort. The surrounding souks and narrow alleyways create an authentic and nostalgic atmosphere. The check-in process was smooth and efficient, with a warm welcome from the front desk staff. A special thanks to Mr. Mahmoud Elbendary, the Front Office Manager, who kindly upgraded my room and arranged a lovely welcome fruit platter. His exceptional hospitality made my stay even more enjoyable. One of the highlights of the hotel is the buggy service, which makes it easy to move between the different buildings. The room was beautifully designed, featuring traditional Arabian décor with modern amenities. Waking up to views of the souk rooftops and Dubai Creek added to the magical experience. The location is excellent, within walking distance of the Spice and Gold Souks, and the abra (water taxi) provides easy access to other parts of Dubai. Guests also have access to the pool, spa, and gym at the nearby Canopy by Hilton, with complimentary transportation provided by the hotel. Another detail that stood out was the hotel’s bath products—the shower gel had an amazing scent and luxurious feel, making every shower a delightful experience. It’s a shame that this product isn’t available for purchase on the market! Overall, Al Seef Heritage Hotel Dubai offers a unique and immersive experience, combining heritage charm with top-notch service. A huge thank you to Mr. Mahmoud Elbendary and the entire team for their warm hospitality—I look forward to returning soon!

The hotel is perfectly located for lovely surroundings and having some coffee shops, restaurants and market style shops on your doorstep. The service was outstanding and the hotel staff always made me feel cared for and at home. It’s an easy 15 minute taxi ride to most of the places you would want to visit in Dubai. The 24 hour room service was much appreciated when I was out shopping late at the mall. The food was also a good standard and the room was just gorgeous. It had a fantastic atmosphere. My only gripes would be that it can be a bit noisy due to the market below, but that didn’t bother me personally. Additionally, the TV only had satellite channels, most hotels offer Netflix at least these days. It was a nice surprise to hear we could use the pool and gym at the nearby Canopy hotel, to which the hotel will transport you via golf cart, but it was a bit of added hassle so I didn’t make it in the end. Generally, I would highly recommend it as a unique and charming stay in Dubai and very much unlike other hotels in the city.

This has to be the most interesting experience ever. Hotel room was beautifully put together, bed super comfortable and the hotel amenities smell so good. Breakfast was delicious with a decent spread. Not only was the hardware good, the service was even better. Have to commend Arjun for being so friendly and helpful, he engaged conversations and drove the buggy to the nearest point to the metro when I was checking out. A job well done to enhance guest experience. Definitely want to come back.

This hotel is perfect! My family and I stayed here for 2 nights and we’ve had such a pleasantly great stay. The overall design & ambiance of the hotel are what amazed us the most as it’s traditional & vintage Arabic look was very breathtaking and makes you feel like you’re in a movie. The rooms were very spacious and well kept. Although, I think the rooms would benefit with better lighting as I found it a little bit too dim even when all the lights were on at night, keeping in mind that this was all intentional in the hotel’s theming/design. But installing more lights in the rooms would help cater more to those looking to work from home. The service was absolutely top notch. The front desk team and the golf cart drivers were very friendly and welcoming. They also made the lovely effort to surprise me by decorating my room for my birthday with petals and a delicious brownie which made it feel extra special. The location of the hotel is very convenient as the creek, market & shops are just right at your doorstep. We also got the chance to visit the neighbouring Hilton Canopy Hotel’s amazing rooftop pool which was a 5 minutes golf cart ride. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be back in the future!

It is my second time to book in this hotel and definitely the last. As rooms are in the upper floors of every stores within Al Seef, you will never have a peaceful night to sleep. In my first visit, i woke up with the noise from the cleaners. Now, in my second visit, literally typing at 1am as the noise from the outside is unbearable. If you still want to try, try once and you'll find out! The reception is also inefficient. There could be a better way in catering the check in process, they will let you queue and stand for long time instead of taking your id's and call you once it is yiur turn to check in. Oh! They have assigned us in a room while starbucks is being renovated in the middle of the night! Great!
