Dubai - Hotel Information

[QUOTE=Global Surfer]Regal is red. Try Ramada, 4Point Sheraton or Dar al Sondos.

Kubu offers much better quality then regal but may be a bit expensive.[/QUOTE]

Thanks! I dug a little deeper in the threads and discovered that Regal is red, so I booked my room at the Ramada thru Agoda.com for $136 + fees, taxes, etc. I am good to go.

I appreciate the response...will consider the Kubu and the Rattlesnake on the roundtrip back. I had been to Dubai twice on short trips...stayed at the Crowne Plaza (Zinc) on the company's dime and discovered a very limited selection of WGs there.

Is Hyatt regency no more red?

If the only problem is to show the ID, it is not a problem.

If I have to book a second room, this is bad.

What are the last experience at this hotel.

Thanks in advance.

I recommand Palm Hotel (ask for "Computer Street").

It´s an hotel with a night club with lots of African, Ethiopian, Congolese, Cameroon, Nigerian girls and a very good live band from Congo.

The girls are very opened and friendly.

Just the price to negociate in advance.

Towers Rotana is GF and very green. There are lots of SW standing by on the sidewalks between this hotel and Sheraton.

Is the Royal Mirage one and only ,girlfriendly?

Thanks in advance.

Hello, friends.

What is your opinion about Hotel rates 3/4/5 star in this year 2010, it will increase or decrease or stable like 2009, as we have seen the best lower hotel rates in 2009.

In my opinion, hotel rates will stable like in 2009 or decrease little bit further in this year.

Looking forward for your informative reply.

Over and out.

...being the taj palace. place is a nightmare at any time of the day

[QUOTE=Steve Dubai]Yes - I haven't heard of any 5 star hotel around that area that is red.[/QUOTE]

but otherwise agree with steve's sentiment. there are some 5*'s that are amber i.e. they don't turn a blind eye completely and by enforcing the rules on registering guests etc, look to deter through creating embarassment.

royal mirage is very easy. just walk in and keep walking, there isn't a check in desk in the way that you have at a grand hyatt etc

M[/QUOTE]Mizak,

Hope you are keeping well. I predict that the hotels will continue to offer great deals throughout 2010. There has been a number of reports stating there is still a declining REVPAR in the hotel industry. Abu Dhabi is now suffering due to the large number of new rooms on the market. Ref: [url]http://www.thenational.ae/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100105/BUSINESS/701059894/1138[/url]

In Dubai there was another report that states UK travel Agencies see a huge new wave of tourist travel to Dubai due to reduced hotel pricing. Dubai also is offering itself up as a great short stay destination for people traveling to the far east from the west. So hotels will be fighting for a piece of that action in order to stay alive. The problem that any hotel under 5* is that they are forced to have rock bottom prices when the 5* drop to 4* prices. Its the only way to compete. In previous years the hotels we as mongers liked we artificially expensive due to huge demand that no longer exists now that the market has corrected itself.

I have seen this coming for a long time. However the core values of Dubai as a tourist destination, trading hub are still very sound. It was purely the real estate market that drove EVERYTHING up in price. I dont see similar price increases coming any time soon especially if Dubai wants to compete in the new world that we all live in today.

Hi

Has anyone stayed here since it was renovated, read on another forum, now only original passports, can anyone here verify this.

Stayed there and Majestic last year and both were copies only then. I've booked this hotel for 1st week in March at 297+taxes, great deal but could be hassle if original passports required.

Other past hotels that were GF. Fairmount and Royal Ascot.

I have also booked myself there and around the same time as you.

Based on the posts here it's still green I. E passport copies. I am not aware of the other forum that you mention.

Tried to pm you but believe it's not activated. Would have been nice to meet up as we might be staying under the same roof but I am sure you woould not be checking inwith the username on this forum. Neither me for that matter. [QUOTE=Hjn 0192]Hi
