Lumbini Dream Guesthouse

Bur Dubai


Opened in mid-2018, this new building was designed to emulate local traditional architecture with sand-coloured rough-hewn walls and rooms set on two floors around a central courtyard. Although it seems like a work in progress and could do with a few more grace notes, the simply furnished rooms are clean and spacious with dark wood furnishings and crisp white linen.

The downstairs restaurant is a good choice for an inexpensive meal; the Indian options are best.
