Dubai - Hotel Information

[QUOTE=Deon123]Both are extremely GF based on my previous experience; but I would prefer Ramada as the rooms are nicer and you have easy access to Rockafellas, York, Jockeys and Stayalive. Also, Ramada would generally offer you less room rate than Metropolitan. Don't get confused; go to Ramada straightaway.

Deon123[/QUOTE]Thank you, I guess you are right on. I am going to go with Ramada. I was a little hesitant about ramada after hearing that rumours has closed. But I see there are many other venues close by instead. BTW can anyone confirm if rumours is still closed?

Booked room for 2 days fri-sat in ramada burdubai during their promotion of Aed 299/- net p/night. and also confirm that its very GF, nothing ask even not p.p copy.

those who want purely GF hotel just go to this hotel and enjoy.

Hoping for some good intel. Usually when I come into Dubai for an 8+ hour layover I usually stay at the Intercontinental - Festival City. It's very green but kind of pricey. I have an option from a friend to try the premierinn at Dubai airport the next time I have a layover. Does anyone have any information as to whether it's green or not. I'm not worried about talent. I would probably order in during the layover. Thanks for the help.

It has bee a long time since I wrote on this forum, haven’t visited Dubai for more than 18 months. Nice to see that 11Bravo still is around.
I usually stay at Radisson Hotel as Kubu bar is located there, up to this visit I have had no trouble to get a girl to the room.
Arrive last Monday evening and went straight to Kubu to scout the talent. More or less same quality as at last visit. Picked up a girl and off we went, surprisingly she had to show original passport in the reception before we could go to the room. Same story on Tuesday, with original passport no problem. Wendsday evening I picked up Eva a very European looking girl at midnight, arriving at the reception it was impossibly to get trough security. According to security guy the police had visited the night before and informed that if a girl was found in a room there would be a 50 000 dirham fine for the hotel.
What to do ? I called Ramada end enquired about a room and their policy re. guests. Room was availably and for a guest an original passport was ok.
Checkout from Radisson at 01.30 AM, taxi to Ramada call Eva again and she meet me in the reception at 02.00 and leave for the room without security interfering.

Radisson has for now to classified as RED.

P.S.
As I was in Ramada I did take the opportunity to check out lunchtime action in Jockey’s.
I must say that the quality in Jockey’s where much better than in TGIT.

The fine is clearly communicated to Hotels if repeated cases of unregisteered guests are allowed into rooms after 10pm. I've heard some hotels getting caught as girls use a friends passport to get into hotel. If there is an incident where the LE are then called the hotel will be at fault for letting the girl in without checking the passport properly.

The reaction is a usual knee-jerk blanket instruction, as it is easier to follow a blanket no-girl admission until things cool down, than trying to let a poorly paid security guard make a judgement as to whether the girls passport is really hers or not.

So, just over 3 weeks to go to my bachelor days, and I've got found a great deal at the Arjaan by Rotana at Bur Juman. Deal is done by booking for a full month, which is working out at the same daily rate if I booked at Ramada, but so much better room.

The recent reports of stricter enforcement of original passports instead of copies made me ask the question yesterday and I got the response its original passports, not copies for guests.

Now this could be as I am asking by e-mail, and to find out in reality I would need to be at the door asking the guy.

Anyone got any recent experience they could share?

Steve,

I have had friends staying there in the recent past. It appears that they are very strict about the Original Document verification.

One day I was with the guys staying there when I dropped them back at about 10.00 pm and wanted to go up to their rooms, the security insisted that I have to give my original id to the reception before going up to the room.

Could be a problem for your objectives

Best Regards & Take Care

You guys are scaring me. Are you saying that the Radisson. the most punter friendly hotel in Dubai is Red now. I have not been through this before, How long will this condition last I was just about to book it for late july now I am scared Sh*tless.

The 4 Points Sheraton, Bank Street (Khalid Bin Waleed Road), Bur Dubai. is GF. There is another one - 4 Point Sheraton Suites (I think) in Bur Dubai, off Mankool Road, which is red.

I am there right now.

Not disturbed by the so-called walk of shame. I have been requesting clear statements from 4 different employees.

Situation is as follow:

- Kubu girls are black-listed. Apparently because one of us did troubles with a girl. Police was involved and now the hotel gets under pressure.

- Definitely not possible to get a Kubu girl back to your room. Despite warnings, I ve tried.

Possible trick definitely not recommended: pretend that you; et the girl elsewhere. She will get banned

Solution: Ramada. Still friendly at three in the morning. With the credit card in hand. 600 aed

Expect this to last until at least after Ramadan. My sources tell me a punter took a girl back and after the deed took the money back from her purse. She noticed after she left the room, and went back banging on the door, creating a scene (she was also drunk). Eventually LE were called to discover girl's passport copy was not her's and she was an overstay.
