Zabeel House Mini

New to the hotel scene, Zabeel House Mini is part of the luxurious Jumeirah hotel group, so you know you’re in good hands. With a focus on interesting design features, the Zabeel House collection has a couple of locations in some of the Dubai’s top neighbourhoods, but we reckon this one is top for budget, adventurous travellers.

Zabeel House Mini is a funky three star offering in Al Seef. Located in Dubai Creek, Dubai’s historic neighbourhood, there’s plenty in the locale (Dubai’s famous souks are only a stone’s throw away) to keep you occupied. The adorable ‘pocket rooms’ are fully equipped with everything the millennial traveller needs.

Rooms from AED195
