Dubai - Hotel Information

[BroScientist]

As of now I am still trying to find a hotel that allows early check in and guests. Emailed a bunch of them (confirmed green or at least not red in this forum) last night and haven't heard back from a single one yet. Maybe I shouldn't have emailed them with bcc and emailed individually. The original plan was to find a hotel around Mall of Emirates or Downtown Dubai within $150 before taxes + fees budget. But I think I might have to stay in Park Regis Kris Krin or BurJuman Arjan by Rotana just for the sake of convenience of location, assuming they permit early check in. I want a hotel without a very obvious working girl scene, as all of my dinner guests for the 3 night I plan to stay there are well educated professionals. And yeah, paper thin walls or pounding music that makes this 39 year old fella who like to sleep in early a bit grumpy.

Called a bunch of hotels this morning and no hotel agreed to confirm that they would be able to accommodate early check in. Here is what I was told by different hotels.

1) Park Regis Kris Krin: Girl friendly with ID, no issues with different guests in the morning and evenings. Early check in unlikely.

2) Majestic City Retreat Hotel: Not girl friendly.

3) Number One Tower Suites Dubai: Phone number not working.

4) Regent Palace bu BurJuman: Girl friendly with ID as per phone.

Early check in? Depends on the arrival time. If you land with a red eye flight book the room from the night before, specify your arrival time and it's done.

Guest friendly? On principle tourists (but not strictly family hotels) don't make too many problems if the girl is dressed discreetly. Even 5 stars hotel are so.

Booked Regent Palace with free cancellation as this was the cheapest of the lot. So I booked for the night before even though I land as 8-30 AM. I am trying to pack two girls on the day I land.

Can anyone confirm if this is girl friendly? If not I will cancel it and book another hotel.

I never heard of anything like this especially now when thongs a relaxing? Very strange report here?

Snow1998;2640072 his is concerning. Maybe they were acting on a tip off? A hotel clerk in Abu Dhabi once told me they send all registered guests data to the CID as its required. The LE of course do know what's going on. The clerk told me they use it to also monitor if COVID protocols are being violated. Anyway its still a bit worrying.

Happens in many countries since terrorism started to hit the world. That dates many years ago.

It's no secret all hosting places are required to communicate guest information. Most advance countries do it digital, others through handwritten slips. On principle you need to communicate these info also if you are a landlord and have a tenant.

When you check in in any Dubai hotel your passport or emirati ID is scanned just as it is done at the airport immigration and sent to the Police.

Worrying? With the thousands of daily check in's I wouldn't worry much, unless the police is tracking you for a specific crime and they know your identity.

I am currently in LM Dubai Airport and just spoke to a to our hobby friendly hotel manager:

He told, and on this I can trust him, that last night in the main building was a special police checking on all registered guest data and they found at least one working girl in a room. Anyway the arrested both, the Russian escort lady and their western client which did not return to hotel till now.

So I don't know if LM Airport can still be considered as green. Anyway he did not deny that in Royal Club the staff may react more polite.

Thought I should check first? How are Four Points by Sheraton Bur Dubai and the Downtown branch.

I did rtfr it read they got new owners earlier this year. Thanks Nickc.

Not green. You currently have to check in with your guest and no other guest is allowed after. Few sites saying green so don't just book and assume it to be so, best to call directly and get the info from the horses mouth.

Had some great nights there and after) Cheers Nickc.

Mövenpick Hotel Al Mamzar is very much green.

They allow guest without any problem.

[Mr Ricky]

Awesome! I am going to go with their most expensive room. Is it easy to get some nice WG's at this hotel? Is there a bar or something?

They don't have a bar, it more like a hotel apartment. You can see their facilities on their website. The lobby is tiny, there are no WG's hanging around other than the ones being fucked up stairs or getting a taxi home.

As reported by many, this hotel is totally green (a dry one) and no issues at all about bringing guests.

Currently staying here and love the place for its "green attitude". Other things I suppose could be better.

Best Regards and take care.
