Dubai - Hotel Information

[Barcrawler]

Quote from the Avari Hotel as to why they charge and register 'guests'. Do you believe this?

Partly. There is a legal requirement to register guests and the Hotel can get fined if the there are unregistered guests on the premises. There are checks from time to time by the LE. This information came from someone in the hotel industry.

Of course the extra charge bit is just the hotel cashing in, All the LE would care about is the registration, not how much was being charged.

Quote from the Avari Hotel as to why they charge and register 'guests'. Do you believe this?

"This is in reference to your below mentioned e-mail. First of all please accept my sincere apologies for the in convince faced by you and your guest. I have checked the visitor charges as this is a rule of Dubai government that visitors are not allowed in the rooms after 21:00 hrs and if they stay over night they have to be registered in the system the CID police are usually making rounds of different hotels in the evening to see for any such activities.

The hotel has to put the room registration as double with extra pax charges of 200 DHS as when CID see the guest going they verify the details with the registration card, hotel system and the police reporting system which is directly linked to the hotel system. If the details are not feed in the system they impose heavy fine on the hotel. CID police is in the lobby and keep vigilance on the hotel visitors.

This time when you had the visitors by chance it was the same time when the CID was sitting in the lobby so we had to register the guest of your rooms. We will be making sure that you get good service next time you come to Avari Dubai and to compensate we will be offering you a very special and discounted rate for your next stay."

Maybe, but another venue for us next time I think.

Stayed in the hotel (appartement area) now 3 days in the first week and again 2 days in second week.

In first week no question at all, WG came with me when I checked in, no question asked. Next day when came into hotel security guy tries to get some money from me, he entered elevator with me and WG and asked for some tips, I just ignored him and told him that we are checked in as regular guests. Left elevator without further question.

In second week did the same again, now reception asked for passport copy of WG, but that was all.

So Metropolitan is certainly GF.

Stani friend mentioned that there are more "non-GF" hotels these days.

Classic venues continue with either a PP copy and no hassle (Dhow Palace for ex.) or no copy needed (Sofitel for ex.) but she was certain that in the last month, many previously "friendly" hotels have started requiring original PP plus visa page for visitors

One must wonder if this was a heads-up about the current crackdown.

Sky is falling: While THIS crackdown is getting publicity, it is only one of dozens I have weathered in the last few years. I suggest it is more window dressing than actual "zero tolerance." As many have pointed out, someone is sponsoring the visa´s, and to date, they have not been a target.

Still GF are :

Holiday Inn downtown

Braodway

Avari Dubai - Red list !!

Thanks - a number of LITERATE members will be grateful for the info.

Visitors: you can always gain merit by posting about your hotel, even a simple "[yes I could | no I couldn't] take a girl in". Even if it's an oft reported hotel, FRESH info always appreciated - 'attitudes' can change.

Stayed at the Avari again in Diera last weekend. All change.

Thursday night they wanted to see passport copies, and on Saturday night the jumped up little prick behind reception ended up putting a 200 DHS charge on the rooms, that's 200 per each guest !!

WTF!!

Didn't pay it when we checked out obviously and will never stay there again.

Avoid it like the plague, there is plenty better for the money.

After long searching, I have found a GPS software with Dubais map that actually works!

If any of you need the software send me a message and I will give you the link.

Last time I stayed at the OLD one about a month ago it was still good, only a copy of the girls passport required (about half the time they didn't ask for anything though). I was describing the NEW Four Points below.

Thanks for the info. I feel lucky that I booked at the old one, because I was seriously thinking to choose the new one!

I will be there in a few days and I will report aout the current situation.
