Dubai - Hotel Information

After the Regent Palace dump last night, this is nice. Hard to believe they are both rated 4 stars. Somebody that rated the RP 4 stars must either have very low standards or got some payola to do so. To me it was barely 2 stars. And I am not very picky when it comes to hotels.

It seems that the rating system is essentially technical on rests on the availability of certain equipment and amenities such as: valet parking, concierge, fitness center, private bathroom hair drier, desk, TV, phone or even if room service is available etc. It does not measure how clean it is or how comfortable the bedding is or even if the TV is a recent one or if the food served by the room service is good and fresh. Therefore you're better off checking the reviews.

Stay safe.

Stayed at the Radisson Blu on the creek for nine day, it's green with no issues, girl has to just show ID at the reception.

RTFF as there are lists everywhere in the thread, call the hotel and ask, research aka RTFF.

Not. Rocket. Science.

Its not about FR. Theses rules change all the time and hotels change their policies. Also I have not found any review Regarding address marina, it would be kind of you to tag me in if it is there.

Also I have narrowed down my search into BB area, which is the most green hotel there, preferably with some onsite action.

Cheers.

Just checked in to the Burjuman Arjaan Rotana. The gentleman at the desk assured me I was allowed to bring visitors to my room, as long as they showed "original" ID at the desk. I didn't ask if there were any limits, I figured if I don't ask I can pretty much bring whoever and however many I want at a time.

I was very tired today and wanted to take a nap to rejuvenate before going out on the prowl tonight, but I was put off for almost two hours while they "fumigated" my room. I hope they meant sterilized, the other would seem to mean there was an infestation.

The room is spacious and comfortable.

Fellow mongers:

Regent Palace is solid RED. Desk lady said no visitors in the room, not allowed. Having said that, the lack of cameras and keycards in the elevator would be hard to stop someone from coming to your room.

BUT, it is a dump. Dated, dirty and dowdy. Very much in need of a deep cleaning to get rid of the dirt on the carpets along the walls and mold in the shower tile grout. Tried to go to sleep about 11 but the thumping of the band was so loud I finally got dressed and went down for a beer. Full of 20 something Indians. They were having a great time but it really wasn't my scene. Man / woman ratio about 15 to 1 and all looked attached to someone.

Dining options: 4 Indian restaurants, one Indian bar, the only breakfast option was room service. I got a so-so "American" breakfast.

I booked for three nights and checked out after the first one. None of my money was refunded. Moved to the Burjuman Arjaan Rotana and booked for the next 5 nights.

Just got an intriguing message from a regular, who said her friend is back in town and offered both girls for 1200 for the night. Now I'm aware of quite a few hotels that are green, but unsure if they allow 2 guests the same night? Any info or tips would be appreciated on this subject.

A hotel that just has a numeric value and is one of the two hotels in Dubai that comes with private pool and the room. Just call them ahead for clarifications. Hope that helps.

I think that it is more a matter of money than anything else especially whenever a breakfast is packaged with the room. Many families and friends go to hotels and ask for a foldable bed so that more than two pax can stay in the room. So you can call them and pretend that your fiancé's cousin would like to stay with you one night and would require a foldable bed. Hope it'll work for you and you'll spend a memorable night. Waiting for the FR LOL.

Burjuman Arjaan should be fine, try it out and good luck.

I will be visiting in mid October. I am asking about famous 5 star hotels that are green (Having a pickup bar is a plus if it is available).

I used to stay at Fairmont (Bar downstairs gives you a late night Plan B).

No I am choosing between Address marina, Grosvenor house, or any other 5 star hotel in Business Bay area.

Thanks.

I recommend Damac properties in Business Bay if you don't mind the apartment feel. My personal favorite hotel is Sheraton creekside in Deira.

Hi all,

I'm planning to visit Dubai the third week of October, and I'm looking for guest friendly hotels to stay at. I'm not particularly picky about the quality of the hotel itself, but I love the idea of being able to go up to the bar / restaurant in the hotel and pick up a really hot girl on a whim, so ideally a hotel that has a bunch of WGs somewhere in the hotel itself or within very close walking distance would be ideal. Also, I'm much more interested in quality than price, so happy to pay premium for a beautiful girl, and not interested in hotels with unattractive WGs. Anyone have any suggestions of where I can stay? Considering staying at 2-3 hotels during my stay just to switch things up a bit, so open to multiple suggestions.

[Blood Red]

I have just about decided to book the Burjuman Arjaan Rotana. The price is good and from RTFF, it looks like a rock when it comes to being green over the last few years. I have also decided to treat this as a tourist trip with some side mongering, rather than a full-out, how many can I nail in 6 days extravaganza. This will take the pressure off and I will still be able to walk when I get back from holiday!

Thanks for the advice, Blood Red.

That's a safe bet. I have stayed there a slew of times and it has always been super green. Multiple visitors allowed, sometimes they can come up directly to the room which is what I prefer. Connection to the mall and metro is another plus. I did check with them prior to my recent visit and they confirmed to me via email that my 'girlfriend' could indeed stay with me. .
