Dubai - Hotel Information

[Cooldoc72]

Hi,

Does any one have or heard of any experiences at the hotel apartments.

Unfortunately dont have too much choices due to affordable vacancies at the reasonably nice hotels.

My left choices are:

Jormand or Fortune Suites

Have usually stayed in hotels so dont have any clue of these being GF?

Will definitely post FR ending the trip!

Have fun!

Planned to try out KUBU (when I am at Radisson) & Rattlesnake for a change along with Premiere which is my priority. Quality Stuff.

When at the Radisson also check out the lobby bar, called Marbles, band are quality eye candy and there's always a WG presence in there, though quality varies. Enjoy.

Hi guys, I am new to this site and have registered recently. I am a regular visitor since last 3 yrs to Dubai.

I stayed at Hyatt Regency last year in month of March and found it totally safe for mongering. I believe it is safe in a hotel to pay "Room Supplement" then taking risks and finding out other ways to avoid "walk of shame" or LE. I had a nice time for 3 nights all spent at premiere there itself. Quality place without any hassle of going to other places and wasting time in taxis.

All this is advised for a new comer to Dubai who is fully prepared to enjoy without any risks.

I am going next week on 24th Jan and have planned my stay at Crown Plaza & Raddison Deira for 2 nights each (Hyatt was unavailable) after going through immense amount of study on this site and knowing from fellow mongers. I will keep you informed with my latest experience. Planned to try out KUBU (when I am at Radisson) & Rattlesnake for a change along with Premiere which is my priority. Quality Stuff.

I am looking for budget style accomodation in Dubai (under $150 per night).

Is the Ibis GF?

Can you recommend other hotels in that price range that is? I am just looking for a clean room within reasonable distance of tourist and night spots.

I am due to stay there next week. Can anyone contribute anything re it.

I am assuming like its sister hotel the Crowne Plaza Hotel on Skeikh Zayed road bringing back companions wont be an issue.

I imagine it is not open long enough to attract its own bar scene and even if it did the ladies would be trying it on thinking people dont know any better but if anyone could add anything I'd appreciate.

Could anyone tell me how far out from town it is via taxi and also will getting taxis be an issue.

I do have the option of staying downtown but this hotel looks superb on the pictures and my friends are staying there so it suits.

I posted some info on the Intercon a few weeks ago. Can't help you with GF status but old Intercon was green plus! Only a couple of bars are open and are very quiet. No girls when I was there. Hotel has its own limo taxis (small surcharge on normal taxi rate) and out of rush hour only 15 mins to Bur Dubai, Sh Zhahed etc.

This board while a superb read is hard at times to follow for a tourist due to the number of regulars posting using acronyms and shortcuts eg jockeys (where is it what is it etc. it took me 2 days of reading the forum to find out about it

Been said before: First stop: Reports of distinction thread...

For my part I will right a detailed report on my trip while there and on my return.
I think it will be useful to many to get a tourist viewpoint on the scene in Dubai currently (albeit a tourist that knows what he is doing)

Has anyone any update whether the Ramee Royal (near Maktoum Bridge) is GF?
There was a report mid last year on Ramee Hotel, but not sure it is the same.

Got very good experience with Chelsea Tower appartements. Direct access from car parking to room without passing main security. No problems with WG and also not with 2 at the same time.

Does this mean you don't have to "sign in" the girls when you enter the hotel ? I'm sure the hotel security see that you have 1 or 2 girls with you.

Thinking about my next trip; does anyone on the forum have any experience of staying at the Park Hyatt and whether or not it is girl friendly? Any advice gratefully received

My experiences to date have been;

Hilton, Green
Taj, Green/Amber
Grand Hyatt, Amber/Red
Emirates Towers, pain in the rear end
Shangri-la, Green/Amber but the rooms are really pokey

Hi,

I stayed there, they didn't told anything first night but the girl I took next day said that they are not wellcomed in this Hotel so we entered from back door (creek side) and there werent any problems. I advise you not to use the main door very often.

I live in Marina, never experienced any problem with security. The girls in the coffee shop downstairs now when I am bringing somebody because I order croisssants (usually only bread) and they provided a detailed report including nationalitites) to miss A... besides that the only issue is that girls will put you in the idiot/with money cathegory and will assume that you will pay more.

Merci FC.

Does anyone have any experience with flats out there in the Marina area?

Happy new year to everyone!

Planning a visit to Dubai in March and was wondering if any updates as to whether Avari hotel in Deira is still GF.

Also goes anyone have any info as to whether the Grand Moov hotel in Deira is GF.

Cheers

I live in the Golden triangle in a area called the Sands, there are many appartements here and many of them will either not let you take WG in your place because of all the families that also live in the building or will ask for a passport copy of the lady visiting you. Most of these appartement have a security desk and cameras all over the place not as easy to sneek in as some might think.
