In traveling to Dubai, my husband and I wanted to stay in a local guest house, rather than a large hotel. We chose Ahmedia Guest House based on reviews on Trip Advisor. The experience couldn't have been more pleasant. The night manager Bhawani Singh was one of the most gracious and helpful hosts we have ever stayed with. Every effort was made to assure we had a pleasant stay. We had an early morning flight and Mr. Singh was kind enough to bring a beautiful breakfast to our room before we left. The guest house was arranged and decorated in a very traditional style that was unlike the usual carbon copy rooms of hotels. I would have no hesitation in recommending the Ahmedia to any one that wanted a small, intimated place to stay in Dubai.
We had a wonderful time here. We booked 2 nights but added until we'd been there for 5 nights, cancelling the much more expensive Hilton Jumeirah. I came with my 2 teenagers. We had a room with 2 king beds, big and beautiful and private with it's own decks, overlooking the courtyard, high wood-beamed ceilings, beautiful carved medallions on the walls that let in natural light. A TV with 800 stations but only 1 in English (BBC news channel 280). There's an AC in the room we didn't need but ran it all night on a warm setting to provide white noise for sleeping. We could barely hear the pryaers, which I found lovely and not intrusive. We chose Room 309 in the Annex. Room 308 had lots of furniture that gave the beds privacy from each other. The breakfast was big and lovely, and Agnes would make you an omelet if you asked. The desk staff were all very helpful and sweet and understanding. They are not hotel concierge so sometimes I know more than they did from the internet and my wonderful Frommer's guide book to Dubai and Abu Dhabi. It's a little hard for guides to pick you up in these alleys so be aware. It was wonderfully safe and clean and pretty and quiet and inexpensive and charming and... what more does one want?
Excellent everything, 10 minute drive to the airport without traffic. Excellent breakfast buffet. I'll likely use it again.
The staff are very nice and accommodating at this guesthouse. The location is convenient for the souks of Deira, Al Ras metro station to access modern Dubai, and the abra station is nearby to cross the creek to Bur Dubai. Excellent relaxing stay.
I really enjoyed my stay here. The staff were great, the hotel was small and in the old part of town. When walking the neighborhood, it smelled of spices and the sea. The creak was a few blocks walk. A mosques was right next door and the payers could be heard five times a day. The whole hotel had an old Arabian feel. The room was very large and the terrace was great. I really liked the breakfast. The only problem were the beds. They were hard as rock. Almost uncomfortable. I hate that, because the place was great except for the beds.
Staff were very polite and willing to help in all my needs
