Hi,

I haven't book my hotel yet so please some advice for the hotel selection.

I am looking for 100$ hotels. Last time I stayed at Dar al Sondos, it was totaly GF but this time we are coming as a group and others asks for a cleaner rooms and a swimming pool.

Please need your urgent advises.

Thanks in advance

Towers Rotana is GF and very green. There are lots of SW standing by on the sidewalks between this hotel and Sheraton.

Whats are the girls CIS/Arab?

I recommand Palm Hotel (ask for "Computer Street").

It´s an hotel with a night club with lots of African, Ethiopian, Congolese, Cameroon, Nigerian girls and a very good live band from Congo.

The girls are very opened and friendly.

Just the price to negociate in advance.

Is Hyatt regency no more red?

If the only problem is to show the ID, it is not a problem.

If I have to book a second room, this is bad.

What are the last experience at this hotel.

Thanks in advance.

Regal is red. Try Ramada, 4Point Sheraton or Dar al Sondos.

Kubu offers much better quality then regal but may be a bit expensive.

Thanks! I dug a little deeper in the threads and discovered that Regal is red, so I booked my room at the Ramada thru Agoda.com for $136 + fees, taxes, etc. I am good to go.

I appreciate the response...will consider the Kubu and the Rattlesnake on the roundtrip back. I had been to Dubai twice on short trips...stayed at the Crowne Plaza (Zinc) on the company's dime and discovered a very limited selection of WGs there.

My Fellow Mongers,

I'll be stopping by Dubai next month for a couple of days and will be looking at satisfying my "CIS itch". Based on past reports, it seems that the Regal and the Metropolitan Hotels are my best bet for some CIS action.

Question: Does the Regal charge extra for bringing a girl up? I read that at the Metropolitan, a girl just merely shows her ID and that's it -please confirm this.

Lastly, any CIS updates about the Rattlesnake and the Regal scene?

I appreciate any feedbacks and I hope to post a report next month. Thanks in advance.

Greetings!

I'm planning a trip to Dubai late February and probably staying at the Radisson Blu. I searched the forum and could not find any specific information on this hotel.

Is it GF friendly?
Any clubs or AMPs near by?

TIA,

Joe

Which Radisson Blu? There is the Blu at Dubai creek. Stayed there recently, super cool, although the girl needs to show ID. The Dubai Creek Blu has the Kubu club. You will find lots of info on kubu.

There is another Blu in Media City. Can't say much about that one, although the area is rather dead at nights.

Not to be confused with Golden Tulip Hotel which is further from the MoE. GF with ID. Curiously it must be original or colour copy only. They claim a recent government memo has instructed them not to accept B&W copies - a point to note for other hotels perhaps.

Hi Guys,

Need an advise. As I check the list that all three hotels (Karama , Novotel Deira and Panorama Bur Dubai) seems GF. Are there anyone who can confirm as GF.

I will stay for 4 nights in Dubai next month and I want a clean GF hotel with a pool if possible.

Looking forward for your help.

Thanks a lot in advance.

I would stay away from Karama, they are not 100%GF, it's a hit or miss.

Hi Folks,

Have to spent some miles from my mileage program and planning therefore a visit to Dubai in May 2010 (maybe later or earlier. Depends on your recommendation).

Looking for a girl-friendly hotel near the center (walking distance to bars) with maybe some "action" inside (pub, bar, etc.). Prefer the well-known international hotel groups. But not to expensive.

Any recommendation from your side?

Thanks,

LS

Got an email from Ramada Dubai offering rooms at 375++

Pretty surprised this rate is going in the winter season!

From Sun night to Tues night, the base rate (not incl taxes) I got at Ramada was about 320 on agoda. Com. Wednesday it was back over 600 so I went to another slightly more expensive place which was considerably more luxurious (Arjaan by Rotana at Bur Juman). I recall Ramada being regularly in the 700+ range about 3 years ago, but that was when Dubai was going bonkers.

Actually Ramada is more GF than ever, no passport or visa taken from my guest (although with this particular one I wish they had turned her away.) Arjaan is not "cheap" but is a great value if you want something upscale, especially considering what the rates probably were a couple years ago. And it was just "slide-on-through" with my guest.
