Dubai - Hotel Information

[Discerning]

Ok, not a hotel, more of a hotel apartment. It is located well enough, quite close to Burjumans, more importantly, close to York and Regal. Its not a problem with the night clerk, worst case scenario is pay him 50 dhm. Once you know the guy, its usually a smile and walk on. Better still, use the underground parking and take the lift from there.

I am not sure about the costing, normal studio type is 450dhm and the bigger one is 550. Rates fluctuate depending on your connections. Mine was a client booked one, so thats that.

Field report follows.

I was in Dubai for a couple of days for business and stayed at Ramee Intl. in Diera.This hotel is Ok but NOT G.F. Decided to move to Dallas hotel in Bur Dubai and is GF but 100 Dh surcharge, by the reception staff.

Picked a looker blonde Russian (9) age 23yrs and agreed full night Dh 1300 from Cyclone.I know it is on high side but due to time constraints on my departure time decided not to negotiate for a futher reduction.Had a good night overall and because of her age she was on the go all the time until I called it a day.

Cyclone entrance charge was Dh 85 on Thursday and beer was Dh. 33 per bottle.

Before I went to cyclone I tried to get into Regal plaza disco on first floor and was refused entrance because of the hat.Same problem at Imperial suites.It is odd, even Taxi drivers would not stop without my hat.

Anyway trip was successful both business wise and pleasure. Business and pleasure do mix at times.

Best Regards

Zinc is one of those non-P4P places in Dubai that actually has P4P - each time I've been there, my WG Radar has spotted at least 5 or 6 obvious WGs amongst the crowd - usually sitting at one of the bars alone, or with another WG or at the long table near the entrance. I gave up on Zinc ages ago because the music is twice as loud as Seaview. Ouchy ouchy.

Crowne Plaze is GF - at least it was when I visited there for carnal delights a few months ago.

Ok, I was sharp.

Actually Zinc in the CP is not bad for non p4p. You get free entry with your room card ( I actually have one of each of the 4 colours and simply find out what colour is being used this week and get free entry!).

I would always recommend the Regal for p4p, but i like CIS blondes. Dubai dosent start before 11pm. Weekends (Wed Thurs) are crap too busy.

Oh comon Jamps - RTFF - this is one of the best forums on the site full of good info and guidance and you are on the wrong thread. Go to reports of distinction and read. Try 11B's 'Excellent summary by BarCrawler'. Then share your mongering experience with us. Suggest you post it on the photo page sans pictures and [CodeWord140] everyone off.

I'm off to Jockeys and the Regal now, I'm sure it will be just like a wet Monday in the UK, or maybe Zinc that's expensive and boring.

Be happy Sporadic didn't see your report before me.....

These so calleed totally flat seat in Lufthansa (new planes) and Singapore, are not really totally flat and are not necessarily more comfortable.
While the seat is totally 'straight', it is angled (not flat at 180 degree), so you tend to slide down the seat when you try to sleep. It does a number on your back.
I always keep the seats somewhat bent to find a position comfortable enough to sleep.

EK economy is beter than most.
Like Singapore, Thai and Lufthansa for business class (better attitude of the Germans in Business than Economy!).

LUFTHANSA - the upgradet planes (like flight to Munich) with new and really improved Business class sky beds is (on my opinion) on good money for value relation, beside this you can obtian sometimes good Corp.Rates with them

Ones I tried OK (czech Airlines) because of their realy chep price ...C Class Venice/DBX - RT Euro 1.200... well not bad, clean plane, nice passengers and staff but ...terrible connection...

Avoid Austrian which fit you into a 737 with 2+2 seats but not worth the price ( I guess it was around € 1.700 or so) too.

ciao a tutti

Piper & Sporadic ... maybe we have said too much about the Hotel Fantasia in Dubai. It is kindof low profile, I think because of the authorities. It's owned by a Turkish group that has a "special" arrangement in Dubai. The Turkish part of the chain can be found at http://www.fantasia.com.tr/.

Ah Tuggers! Why didn't you say so in the first place? I always make sure I get a seat right next to the one-way mirror. Which side of the mirror, you'll have to guess.

Piper, you don´t know about the club at the Fantasia?

It is divided into two main areas, one more or less like Cyclone, only better, and the other half, behind the floor to ceiling one-way mirror wall is for "one handed" types who like to watch others do what they can only dream of (sort of like the photo section right here!)

I tried finding Nihal Hotel last night - no luck. I should've done a quick search before heading out. It's next to Marriot in Deira, Maktoum Street, near clocktower. Rumour has it there are Filipino WGs in the nightclub. Will check it out next week. The girls in the band look good (see pics on website). Anyone been to the club there?

Marhaba services have been mentioned here briefly. 60DH ($17) for use of their lounge, including food, drinks, internet, TV. Well worth it.

Sporadic and NiceGuy99 recently mentioned Fantasia Hotel. I'm looking for new places to check out, especially the club/s, and it sounds worth a look. Nothing comes up from google. Any info Sporadic, NG99?

cheers

Dhow palace opened two weeks ago. Impressive building off Golden Sands, so handy for triangle. Have heard not GF but this is 3rd hand info. Try it and let us know. All staff are dressed in sailors uniforms - so I would definately not stay there!

[Sporadic]

JD, No need to repeat your request two days in a row.

If it is really new (I have never heard of it anyway) you may be a pioneer!

[John Dallas]

Need updation on newly built hotel in Bur Dubai name Hotel Dhow Palace.

Cheers,

JD
