I stayed at Arabia Felix for one night for USD30 with free breakfast (jam+cheese+honey+bread+tea). The hotel is conveniently located in the old town. We picked a room on the top floor, where we had nice view of the traditional buildings in old town, but the steps were very steep and it was a tough climbing with all our luggages. The... More

I spent two nights at this hotel end of March 2013. I would say the hotel is nothing more than on average. Rooms are ok the bathroom is quite bad looking but usable. I agreed with them to pick me up at the airport and none showed up, maybe go there by taxi which is much cheaper. The position is... More

I stayed in Arabia Felix hotel together with a group of friends last January. The location of hotel is nice, near the old town and near the modern town. Garden is nice, although could be a bit cleaner. If you are in the garden restaurant (that is too pricy) and have to use a toilet it's better that you use... More

I stayed here 3 times - atmospheric budget hotel; beautiful old city building. Extremely low ceilings and doorways in some bathrooms - one of the doorways was about 3 foot shorter than my height, and I'm no giant. Reasonable food for a budget hotel, served in lovely courtyard.Friendly and helpful staff.

This is a nice hotel in the old town of Sanaa. If compared to other options this could be an excellent choice, if compared to locations in other large cities throughout the world this is downright dreadful. Let's start with the good stuff. Staff is very nice and check in is quick. They center courtyard is beautifully landscaped and this... More

This hotel is located in the old city of Sana'a where you fell the ancient days and people,therefore, the rooms design and the hotel as whole is inspired from this wonderful old mud city.So if you are seeking a 5 stars modern hotel this is not your place! but if u want to try something old and new just go...

Stayed three nights at Arabia Felix. The hotel exeeded my expectations. And if you consider the price - that is just one of the best deals I've ever had. We paid 35USD per day for 2 pers. with breakfast included. Hotel is a typical old Sanaa's building (with traditional interior and funny low doors). The room is nice (clean, comfortable... More

The hotel was booked for us by my husband's work (a school in Yemen) as a place for us to stay for a day before leaving at midnight to catch a flight back to the UK. I was pregnant and we had our 3 year old and 19 mth old children travelling with us. On arrival we were pleased to... More

Location is superb, right in the old part of the city. Rooms are nice -- I stayed for two weeks and fit in a side excursion so I had two different rooms ,both of which were lovely. The showers in both rooms lacked shower curtains ,a minor point. The dining area is not very prepossessing an it took me a... More
