HI fellow hobbyist!

I stay often in marina area after Burj closed down which was my fav spot,. ,and I was a bit weary of Bur dubai Diera area did that done that,hihi!

Now would anyone know if these hotels are green in marina area and if it is well worth the stay for WG in this area as in bar or spa on sites?

I have stayed at Wydham green, Media one green, many walking opportunities here in spas as well as Wg on marina walk.

If anyone has other well situated hotels in marina please let me know".

Thanks mates!

When I going to Dubai, my first choice of hotel in dubai is Canopy & Double tree M Square (Hotel, not apartment).

Couple year ago Canopy won't check and ask WG have to register when visit your room, even I pick WG together to hotel.

But last year one of escort visit my room, hotel front desk call me she have to going to register at the hotel front desk.

But I didn't pay any extra charges even she visit to me.

The better thing is Canopy next to Dubai creek, up stair have one lounge with beautiful Dubai creek view and swimming pool, you can drink something alcohol before or walk along the creek if you want.

Breakfast not that much choice than double tree M square.

Hi All, anyone stayed at Mercure Barsaha. I am planning a trip and my usual hotel M Square is very expensive at that time (specially for apartments). Booked Mercure from reading blacktea report. But mixed reviews on trip advisor re cleanliness and quality. I gathered the suites are probably more modern and better than apartments. But if anyone had any experience of the place let me know. I was tempted by what blacktea called (harbour sharks) but don't want to compromise on hotel quality.

Also I assume the place is green?

Ignore this, I have cancelled it due to location and quality. Found another place closer to my desired action areas.

Got 2 weeks free which means incoming reports of my 'first experience' doing this. Can anyone recommend 5 star hotels in JBR / MARINA / Downtown with WG that are in the hotel / lobby itself? Looking for easy access, sky is the limit with the budget.

Thanks allZ.

Hi fellow mongers,

For now, for my upcoming trip, I was looking to book Shangri-La on SZR as this is where I have stayed previously and I know it has been totally green, however the price of this hotel does not match the high end decor (a little dated now) you would expect from a 5* hotel. Would appreciate if anyone could suggest a better standard, green hotel for roughly the same price.

Welcome dude, looking forward to reading your experience.

On that price range this time of year you can get a one bed suite at Double Tree M square. Really good hotel and green. If you want to save money then the standard king room would do too at that hotel. Others may have better suggestions.

Hi fellow mongers,

First post for me although I have been reading the forum for quite a few years and have benefited from the info on this forum. Nothing new to report just now but will be heading back to the desert in the next couple of months and will surely share my experiences (now that I have popped my cherry).

Thank you for sharing, This is the Doubletree by Hilton, correct? What are there clubs within walking distance to this apartment?

The nearest club to Doubletree M2 is Ratsky which is about 15 minutes by walk but this month Dubai is hot and humid. You will be drenched in sweat by the time you reach Ratsky. Not recommended. Taxi is your best option for Czar or Moscow too. It will not take more than 15 minutes by taxi to both these clubs.

Thank you for sharing, This is the Doubletree by Hilton, correct? What are there clubs within walking distance to this apartment?

Yes correct. The place is about ten minutes drive to the action spots at Deira. I don't think there is any club walking distance from the hotel so drive or taxi are your options.

I see someone already commented re Airbnb. For me, hotel apartments M square is the place to go. I park and use the lift to a separate lobby and lift for apartments. No one cares who you are brining with you. Had no issues at all but from November onwards can be on the expensive side compared to Airbnb.

Appreciate your answer. When you say register, would this be with the front desk (if there is one) at the time of bringing the guest to the room? Or do you have to inform the AirBnB owner?

I'm booking airbnb's all the time in dubai and never had any issues with this. The owners won't care and 90% of the time you will never fysically meet them. Checkin is mostly done by the building reception. Nobody will care or mind if you bring in a guest, but you still might need to register them.

I'm planning a trip to Dubai next month wondering whether an AirBnB / rental would be easier than a hotel. Any thoughts? I know most AirBnB's would say you can't have guests but I think it would be hard to enforce this as it is not easy for a host to keep track. I'm just trying to avoid the whole embarrassment of having to register WG's at the lobby, if possible.
