Dubai - Hotel Information

How much of a drive time and taxi availability do we have for these too

Taxi availability in Deria, these days! That’s an oxymoron. Particulary mornings and early evenings taxis are very hard to come by. The only chance is to book in advance. ‘Still come October, Broadway to Marriot will be walkable.

Dear Members,

I have an upcoming trip at the end of October. Place of business is at the JW Marriot in Deira.

I got thinking whether would be better to stay at the Broadway which on the map seems 3x3 blocks away. How much of a drive time and taxi availability do we have for these too?

Would appreciate your help... Thanks!

Eric

PS: I haven't forgotten, just was extremely swamped with work last couple of months + Family vacation. My FR is coming soon...

Is this hotel GFE?

Some good guys stolen my credit card

Cash is the norm here, especially for locals. Just be careful about withdrawing too much cash from an atm or cashing too many traveller's checks in a bank - eyes are watching... Dubai is VERY safe, but there are the usual scams about...

You might want to consider having a travel agent in Italy (wherever) book the hotel for you - you paying the agent full amount back home. Hotel still might want "some" security deposit, but as they've already been paid in full, MAYBE less of one.

Also, IF you still have your atm card, is it also a debit card? That too can work.

Thank you Piper1,

How is the Crown Plaza? GF and the room.

Thanks again.

Cash is accepted everywhere. The only issue you will have is putting down a security deposit at hotels. At Crowne Plaza Hotel a couple of months ago, they wanted to take an imprint of my credit card as security, but I refused, and they accepted 500 DH cash deposit instead, over and above the hotel room payment (the 500 was refunded when I checked out). That was only for a day-room - if you're staying several nights, they may ask for much more on check-in - ie full payment for all nights, plus extra for 'security'.

Some good guys stolen my credit card and for 2 weeks I must pay in cash, also for my next travel in Dudai.

Someone to know if there are problem for the deposit or pay bill in cash?

I know is stupid question but is my first time without my dear credit card.

PS. im Italian not easy in italian bank have replaced.

Tks all,

Bye

I don't think its is a much frequented place as such; didn't see too many reports pertaining to this establishment.

The well used thread on GF hotels lists ascot as green, albeit dated ages back. Any updates, friends?

Just to clarify, I am talking about the older one, not the new Royal Ascot.

In any case, i will post my experience there later on.

Been there few times. No problems getting your girl upstairs. Probably they asked for a passport copy(I am not sure). Tha was a year or so ago.

Couldn't book at my usual Crown Plaza or Fairmont (fuck you GITEX!) so am staying in BF(UA)E out at Jebal Ali Hotel. Thanks, last minute trips!

My mate pulled a PRC bird last night and had no issues bringing her in. I showed up with a couple Emirates girls for some lounging by the beach and didn't get hassled either.

Is actually a pretty decent little hotel. Being way out of town makes mongering tedious and the girls tend to complain but the beach is nice and there are tons of opportunities for non-P4P action. Shockingly so, to be honest.

The unfortunate deal breaker for me which will make me avoid the place in the future is no internet in hotel rooms. Seriously, how stone age!

I am travelling to DXB during first week of Nov and have wait listed room at Capitol @ US$265 per night. Iam also trying at Broadway hotel because of 24 hr in house availability of girls. But I wish to know the status of Broadway among the residents of Dubai. Is it known basically as mongering place? ie: if I stay there will my friends or relatives suspect me as hardcore monger?
Am also planning to try Moscow hotel,but there are no report here during the last 6 months whether it is still GF? Kindly respond.

[Oetziboy]

Have been in both places last week thye're GF - Taj request passport copy while you walk in the Sheraton without any bother, reg. girls I was little disappointed seems that level is generally gone rather down, before 10 PM there was some nice Chinese at the York

Woxi,

I replied specifically to your questions and suggested a very reasonably priced hotel (US$80 per night for a SUITE) within 10 mis of the Golder Triangle. You ignore it and ask the same damn question again. It is bad enough that you did not read the forum properly. Plus there is a gigantic list of hotels in ROD as already stated. Geez.

I said thanks for your hints, and I said sorry, that I didn't read properly.

Actually I booked a room in Dar al Sondos, but for the the second dates in Oct. it was full, from Astoria still waiting for answer, so, before knowing about ROD, I asked again. Very sorry.

[Crypton]

And what are GF hotels near golden triangle? Affordable ones? You know, friends, there are so many usefull informations. But to get out of this puzzle what you really need. Maybe there should be a thread just about hotel adressses and pick up location for a quick info. Love the reports. But so timetaking to suck out pure informations. Sorry.
