Dubai - Hotel Information

[LekkiDave]

Hello guys,

I have seen the color coding of hotels here but it has not bothered me much as I normally get a rental car. Your Western DL are usually acceptable and is cheaper and more flexible than taxi if your stay is beyond a few days.

Typically, the car parking are either on the basement floors or the lower floors of the building. Access is normally by room key card or security guard-controlled. When I come back with a guest, there is no need to go through reception as the lifts are accessible directly from the car parking floors. So, I never have to contend with access issues. I am not the only one here operating in this mode, am I?

Defo red if bringing from main entrance, cameras all over, they allow only one guest during registration and must provide details. After is not allowed.

However couple of options I could spot: there is a bar at 39th floor and one at first floor.

So with some discretion and girl being smart squeeze in to the bar then to the room.

Sorry but which one?

Called up the Sheraton Grand and they said as long as you register your guest, it won't be an issue.

Tried calling the Habtoor Grand Resort and the phone doesn't seem to be working. Can anyone provide info on the Habtoor policy?

Sheraton Grand is OK, many ways to bring in someone. You can pretend to got to one of the bars on the 4th. Besides if you sit in the hall in the evening you will see a lot of "movements."

Hi Mate.

Can you please clarify if you are talking about any particular hotel, or in general.

Best Regards and Take Care.

This is for Park Regis Kris Kin, although when I called the receptionist didn't tell me that, so check if that's the specific rule.

[Makaveli87]

Called Hyatt Regency, they allow guests but still charging Dh270 for bringing a guest to the room.

Hi,

An easy Trick I use to search for guest friendly Hotel is to ask a girl or agent / Mama-san.

Before my trip I search for girls on MR I like and ask if they are still there, tell them I will be in Dubai in xy week and if they know any good hotels. Each send me 4-5 hotel names. I search the name choose the best for me.

And for the people who ask if xy hotel is green. Try using the search button her. If you don't find anything then we mostly also don't know. Asking her is useless.

Have fun and please Report back your hotels.

Sorry to say this but I stayed here yes they allow only one ID visitor per stay! So I called later for another recent stay to see if thier policy has changed and again reception confirmed one visitor per stay.

I guess it depends how you ask the question or the person who answers. , I suggest you Call and speak to Manager Roger and see?

IMHO.

Onto another issue, this thread is losing its purpose as almost every post is from people asking if such and such hotel is green instead of providing info if such an such hotel is green, defeating the entire purpose of this thread. It's very simple, if you want to know the status of a hotel, do what I did and RING THEM UP, they will tell you straight up because they already know what you mean, and then you can pass that info here to everyone else, just like I did. And I just called all the way from London because I'm planning to visit Dubai when I fly back to Abu Dhabi this week. It's really frustrating coming here to find info on which hotel is green or not but then see entire pages of people asking is this or that hotel green, nobody wins that way.

Well, there's a simple run around that, make two separate bookings for two nights in a row and problem solved. I was going to do that at one hotel but for 10 nights in a row until I found another green hotel.

Hi Guys,

I'll be in Dubai in a few days for 2 weeks and am looking for a hotel apartment that's reasonably priced, GF, and which has a kitchen with stove where one can cook. Now I can book Pullman apartments or Burjuman Arjaan, but the prices are sky high and I don't want to spend that much.

If anyone has any recommendation for an apartment that is GF, reasonably priced (say 100 USD per day) and has a kitchen with a stove, please let me know.

Cheers,

BR.

Called up Park Regis Kris Kin to check their status and they are green, receptionist told me you can bring a guest after check in if they show their ID.

Nail on the head. You are so right, more questions than answers and even when those are answered the question poster never comes back with a report on their stay and feedback. Information is truly lacking.
