Dubai - Hotel Information

[M Refaat]

Can you please confirm after your stay they are still green, or what other options are available. I will be there from 17th to 22nd of October and I got lost cause it seems like no hotel is green for granted so I have to be updated and postpone my reservation for a while, I also read through the forum about many hotels of which Ibis hotel seems good, so give your updates if you have any more information.

Hi fellow mongers,

Long time Dubai monger. 2003 to mid 2009 (left due to economic crash = lost my job) , now back for short visit of fun proportions. I've booked at the Tulip Hotel Apartments in Bur Dubai and wanted to know if anyone can shed light on whether the place is green? If not, I'll have to reconsider. Or rebook somewhere else.

Thanks for your earliest reply.

SL.

[ PS. After posting this I decided to take the in retrospect fairly obvious route and call the Hotel up, asking the innocent question that I am coming to the Hotel with my girlfriend, and would it be a problem? To which the friendly Fili reservation lady asked what nationality my girlfriend is, and I replied she is Russian. The immediate but polite response was that this was against company policy, which i accepted gracefully and put down the phone.

I have since rebooked at the London Crowne 1 Hotel Apartment which I called before booking and was informed that bringing my girlfriend was no problem so long as she had ID with her. ]

Yes it is red there are a better options green Hotels in Bur Dubai.

-Majestic Hotel.

-Panorama.

-4 points on Bank St.

-Burjuman arjaan.

Please always keep in mind that any hotel can change its policy in the last second and becomes red.

It happened to me many times where I call the hotel to confirm if it is Green or not 24 hours before I book and once I bring my catch they told me "Not allowed"

Can someone please confirm whether this hotel is still red?

Thanks Casey

Here are few hotels that was Green, but they are now Red.

- Moscow in Deira.

- Metropolitan Deira.

- Avari Dubai Hotel in Deira.

- Broadway in Deira.

- Crown Plaza in SZR.

- Chelsea Towers in SZR.

Crowne Plaza too! What a bummer.

Since last week City Max Bur Dubai is now red = No female visitors allowed unless wife.

Apprently there was a fight somewhere in the hotel (maybe the bar) and the police came and then CID also got involved.

If the hotel allow female visitors and the police finds out the hotel is getting a big fine.

Can someone please confirm whether this hotel is still red?

Majestic has always been green for me and like you I will be finally back in August (17-27). Elia Greek restaurant is where I will dine every night LOL and hit all the spots with my honeys I have lined up. Hit me up for a cold one.

Thanks Niko, I stayed on July 26 and had no problem. My guest came right up to my room with no one checking her I'd. The front desk called up afterwards wanting to copy her I'd, no big deal. We were going to have lunch in the pub on the first floor anyway. We had since then been in and out of the hotel a few more time without further issue.

I will probably stay at this hotel again at the end of Aug for a few nights since it's so close to the "attractions" nearby, can't beat the location.

Hi guys.

Anybody know if Ramada Plaza Jumeirah beach Residences is green?

[Massimoweb]

I've spent the last couple of days with a 'regular' Filipina. We've always entered through the mall entrances and have never been challenged. There's the regular mall entrance which is sometimes manned, although it's been mostly unguarded for these 2 days. If there's a security guard there he might ask for original I'd. If you see him there you might turn around and try the other entrance. It's through the Fitness First. Go into this fitness club entrance, up the first flight of stairs, turn right (AWAY from the fitness club counter). After you pass through a door you'll see a flight of stairs on the left. Go up the stairs, turn right and go down the long corridor / walkway until you come to the hotel entrance on your right. I've NEVER seen any security at this entrance.

Some caveats: This entrance is probably not available after Fitness First closes. There are cameras at both entrances and in the elevators so if they see you and want to catch you they will. 4 Points Sheraton Downtown nabbed me this way once.

I confirm. It is green, I have been there during last week and I had no problem to receive a girl in the room from the main entrance.

Any info on this Hotel Apartment? Would appreciate if experienced mongers could share their experiences.

Would greatly appreciate some help here. Any info on this establishment?

Many hotels with good bars are not green. Try cin cin in Fairmont. Expensive but good quality. Better option would be choose a green hotel and visit golden triangle You can get lot of information if you read first few pages

Dear Global Surfer,

Thanks for the good Info.

Is Fairmont still green? I know the hotel had some issues with LE in the past.

[Global Surfer]

All. Beyond the Grosvenor House hotel can anyone recommend any hotels (ideally 4/5 star) where their is a good availability of WG's in the bar or hotel night club. Especially during Ramadan.

Dear Mahku.

Thanks for the report.

Is the hotel Green in general?

I do not want to go up and down, left and right to pass the guarded.

Yes, it's green in general. But per prior reports make sure she has ORIGINAL I'd if you plan to pass the front reception.
