Dubai - Hotel Information

This is an up and coming area, and several girls are available in the area.

I was looking for an economic hotel in the area, and the best I found was 270 inc, apart room.

However the web site, said NO VISITORS IN ROOMS.

I checked in with my PI "wife", complete with wedding ring. The receptionist (possibly iranian! ) said it is the hotel policy not to allow GF in rooms.

Free wireless internet in all rooms, but beware NO mobile reception in the "inside" rooms, so ask for outside room.

I responded, my wife and I often have this problem presented to us. IF you are unhappy with a mixed married couple, please just say so.(LOL). And we will leave.(slight threat).

He said No problem sir.

When we went out for dinner, we stayed at the desk, and chatted, ensuring they saw the ring.

ROSE GARDEN Al BASHA RED RED RED.

But are there any reports re the other many hotels and apart hotels that are opening by the MoE in Al Barsha 1.

All,

Has anyone stayed at the Address Downtown Burj in the recent past? if so, could you please let me know if they allow girls in through the door or not?

Another thing, how far is the rattlesnake and regal from Address Downtown Burj ?

regards,

Sharq

[QUOTE=Engrahmed]Any body please let me know that K-Port Inn hotel Deaira is GF?[/QUOTE]Definitely not when I stayed there. They have security on the 1st floor so when you get in the lift reception immediately warn security who stop the lift you are in and take you back down to ground floor and you will not get to your room.

Luckily and thankfully for me the Girl( Taiwanese) I picked up in Kubu took me to her apartment.

Not GF friendly, most the time anyway. I've stayed there quite a bit since it was close to the office and my GF. No problem with her coming up a few days then the next is was no way. Think the Indians working the counter didnt like me taking an Indian girl up. I did the yeah whatever and went up any way. The bar and resturant on the roof is a nice place to chill but no action at all.

Now she is the EX and it's game on, back in Dubai in a couple of weeks.

The Hilton Creek is still absolute GF. 2 main benefits:

Super rooms (book the rooms with creek view) incl jacuzzi and a back entrance.

Sharq[/QUOTE]Address is GF - no problems. It's about a 10 min cab ride from both Rattler and the Golden Triangle (ie. Seaview, York, Regal etc.)

[QUOTE=Wilts Boy]When you say outside, is that the gardens and pool etc, or just the outside area of the bar?[/QUOTE]I just meant the area immediately outside the bars - don't know about pools etc but would assume they are still open, pool chilled etc.

Anybody any news about Atlantis?

Hey guys, I might be returning to the UAE, but the thing is that I need to find accommodation for the month of August before my company is putting me up.

So basically I need to find something as cheap (as in ultra cheap) as possible, you guys have any ideas? Sublet are fine, even preferred.

Many sublets, rooms to rent etc.

Flora Diera City Centre.

Add to green CITY SEASON SUITES entrance via car park directly to rooms, sometimes stops on reception level, but lift contetns not visible from desk, only CCTV, not certain about the CITY SEASONS HOTEL.

is probably your best bet to find short term accomadation. Much better than expatriates. I know that the grandeour hotel al barsha (behind mall of emirates) is doing 20nights for 3,000aed perfect for people on a budget. Clean place pool etc. A friend of mine staying there at the moment.

Gents, I land at midnight, and take off again 9.00 am.
I need a bed next to the runway. Meridien is quoting 1200 AED ,which is a bit steep for just 6 hours.

Anybody have any thoughts for 400-500 per night, 5 minutes from the airport?

TIA.

Most of these budget hotels will be around 300aed/night, but quality may be dodgy for an old man like you.

Holiday Inn express is another option - should be less than 500, and max 15 minutes from the airport.

I always thought it was you who was the greedy one Piper.....and in case she says no, 1Ball does not want to share a bed with you.....

1Ball. Last week in the Gulf News the Holiday Inn Express hotels were advertising AED 199 per night. Think there is one Deira side so should be close(ish) to the airport.

Basic but clean ..... somehow that phrase does not remind me of Piper :D

Enjoy
