Felix Arabia is a stunning antique 1001-night hotel, basic but very clean, with very firendly owner and nice staff . It is great to have a room in the top floor (no elevator!), stunning view over sanaa and all minaretts, especially during sun-rise . I have used this hotel as hub, check in/out 3 times and travvelled with light luggage,... more

A very nice Hotel. Staff is perfect. I paid 30 USD for one night for a room with a bathroom. Of course standarts are so low, but still good in Yemen conditions. In the heart of the old city. Close to Tourism police, where you need to get permission to travel out of Sana'a. The most important point is that... more

Remember this is the Middle East and a very poor country, so finding somewhere like the Arabia Felix was a great find. Built in traditional style and somewhat like a maze once inside, the rooms are basic but functional. Some come with bathroom ensuite, best to ask for these and also ask for a western style bathroom. I think some... more

Very good place to start your trip in Yemen/ Sanaa, very friendly staff. Rooms are fine, toilets some not very nice but usable. The location is good, and the building is a typical architectural style from the old Sanaa town. more

We booked a room in this hotel through UTC, one of the leading travel agencies in Yemen, right through the net, comfortably from home. Each night was exactly at 22 euros, which is roughly the price the hotel charges if you book directly with them. Altogether, we stayed here 5 nights, at 3 different times, so we experienced all their... more

We used Sanaa as a base for our travel in Yemen and saw good recommendation for this hotel from our guidebook. We booked two rooms for 3 separete nights and we specifically asked for private toilets. It turned out some of their so-called private toilets are outside of the rooms. They are "private" in the sense that they were assigned... more
