It should be GF, but I do know of some people who had some troubles there, nothing a bribe couldn't sort out, but its better to find something else IMHO.

It's hit or miss but I got the Sheraton at Dubai Creek for $151 recently from the hotel broker in the exit area of the arrivals terminal in the airport. I think it's called around the world or someting;it's right next to to Mariott hotel desk.

I think you have to kind of push the attendant though...he tried to give me no name places like the Star Towers for more than what he gave me Sheraton at Dubai Creek for. Perhaps he gets a bigger commission from the 2nd rate place.

Dar Al Sondos very cheap now, Towers Rotana, Jumeria Rotana also very cheap, Media Rotana...all GF (never sure if Sherton is or is not depends on which one). Permier Inn but far from the action, Holiday Inn Express...but far from the action

TJ have emailed you...

Guys

Any suggestions for a budget hotel that is GF? Is it better to drop in at the hotel and enquire the rate or book it online? Since I read in the papers that dubai was experiencing very low occupancy rates.

Hi guys,

I am still waiting for my membership to go through but have a gem for you guys. The new ramada opened behind the mall of the emirates is currently doing deals of 5000k per month for new hotel room breakfast included. The hotel doesn't officially open for a week or so. Its also girl friendly as I know that a few WG's have taken the rooms there seeing as the price is unreal. Is it ok for me to post the number of the guy dealing with the rooms here? I don't want to break any rules and I don't have PM yet.

Would like a pm with the contact when your membership pulls through

Might be interesting since I'm always on the lookout for good hotel deals because of problems with the "security" guard in my company provided acco.

Hi all,

After a week in the rainy middle east, I can report that the Burjuman Rotana is definately GF. A passport copy is all thats required.

Enjoy!

Just back from Dubia, I spent 6 nights in the 4 points Bur Dubai, GF but girls did need to show copy documents, staff were relaxed so no looks of disgust etc. I am back in DXB in May, it appears that 4 points is closing for a period as you can not book it on any sites or direct. Can anyone advise on the four points Downtown, There appears to be mixed reviews, when we told girls we were at the 4 points they immediately asked which one, giving an immpression that Downtown was not GF. Another option is the Majestic, I have found 1 recent positive report, but it is not included in the GF friendly lists. Has anyone used this hotel recently? . Failing this I will use the Royal Ascot, used this hotel last year, GF but a bit of attitude towards the ladies. Also have used the Faimount very GF but it comes with the price tag.

Which 5-star hotel is closest to the action, or has action in it? Marriott? Sheraton? I'm open to suggestions. Thanks very much.

The Sheraton on Kahlid Bin Walid road is GF and within easy walkng distance to York and Panorama

Guys,

Will be in Dubai for a 15 hour layover next week. If anyone could provide any information on a reasonably priced GF hotel near the airport and is close to any afternoon, early evening action, I would be most appreciative.

Feel free to PM me.

Thanks

[Big Daddy 1906]

I just found out that my 3 pm Flight out of Dubai next week got pushed back to 2:30 am The following day. Can anyone recommend a GF friendly hotel near the airport at a decent price (knowing full well that I may be hosed) with (most important) easy access to afternoon and early evening "entertainment"? Feel free to post here or to PM me.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Go to the online hotel sites for best rates. Call directly if you want to be sure but usually the online rate (non refund) are best. Dar al Sondos Meridien is a solid non sleazy budget option as is 4 Point Sheraton on Manakol Rd., in the same area.
