Dubai - Hotel Information

Hi Guys,

Just a quick question, after a break of around 18 month sit looks as though I will soon be heading back to Dubai for a short visit, hopefully I will be able to stay in the Ramada Bur Dubai as I have stayed there many times over the years, great memories of the night club (was called Rumours if I remember correcltly) and being able to simply walk to your room with the girl of your choice. I know that Rumours closed some time ago as I stayed there a couple of times since it closed and walked over to York. I see on the website that they now have the Lucien Belgian Cafe, does anybody happen to know if this is located where Rumours used to be and if there is any action there (doubt it but worth asking )?

Thanks,

Andy

The Belgian Cafe replaced the Old Vic (a pity. I went there for years). Rumours is now the site of a beauty salon. Ramada still GF last I checked. It's been a while, because I moved here permanently a year ago and the wife and dog joined me. She's back in the states for a while now so I am starting to venture out again.

I have to stay in Moevenpick / Deira next week as all my usual hotels are very expensive. (Gitex)

Does anybody have experience if they are green or red? (can't wait to see my sweatheart again.)

Thanks a lot for a short advise.

Hi Andy,

Ramada Bur Dubai is GF. During the day 99% never been asked for Id. Late evening and night, Id is requested by done quite discreetly.

If ordering in, you do not even have to go down to get the girl.

Enjoy.

Cheerio.

[QUOTE=Black Eyes; 1480786]Hi,

Is Ibis, World Trade Centre, green?

I couldn't fine any reference to it recently.

Regards,

Manu[/QUOTE]Yes, Ibis WTC is green, during the daytime it's possible for your visitor to access the lifts without a trip to the reception counter, but at night it's required.

Shame, I used to enjoy the Old Vic with the singing duo (really good) , food was good too, Rumours was excellent. Great band, reasonable selection of WG's too and so easy to walk with them to your room.

Happy days.

[QUOTE=LustForLife; 1412641]Hi,

Anyone know if Sheraton Mall of Emirates is green? Have seen green reports from when it was the Pullman but not since it became Sheraton. I am staying there next month for work.

I called them and they said you can bring a guest to the room as long as they have I'd so hopefully OK but wanted to check.

Cheers,

LustForLife[/QUOTE]I RTFF but did not find an answer. Any new experiences about the Sheraton Dubai Mall of the Emirates? Thanks in advance!

Good day. I'm visiting Dubai for a few days in December for the first time and have a few questions or am looking for some advice.

1. Looking to stay at a nice 4-5 star, but not outrageous, hotel that will be guest friendly but also put me near some of the good tourist and shopping destinations. So far I've been considering something like the Hilton Dubai Creek or the Conrad, which I understand is pretty new. I often use Hilton in the US so am comfortable with a western company or similar. Something in that price range that's nice and also friendly. Would anyone recommend either of this or something similar?

2. I'm not planing to rent a car so I assume I'll mostly go by taxi. If I meet a girl at a club or somewhere and want to bring her back to my hotel, is it typical to just ride together in a taxi? Any issues with that, with drivers, etc? Just want to keep things as orderly and trouble-free as I can.

3. Any general advice in dealing with the girls? Things or places to avoid? Practices to avoid or watch out for?

I'm starting to read the forums, but information is sort of all over so I thought I'd see if I could toss this out for advice. Also for what it's worth I'm American, caucasian, etc.

Thanks

thanks.[/quote]ad 1: hilton dubai creek is nice and green. they have a also nice a rooftop pool with bar with view over the creek and the sky scrapers of sheikh zayed road. try to sneak in with your catch of the day by the back entrance. sometimes the staff askes your company to show her i'd to the reception, sometimes not. read the forum for more green suitable hotels and read tripadvisor the see photos and experiences written by other travelers.

ad 2: no issues to go by taxi together, absolutely trouble free. the drivers (mostly indians, pakis, nepalese, ethiopians) do not even think of saying anything. taxis are cheap.

ad 3: dubai is a safe place. do not accept the first prices and do some bargaining. do not kiss (or more) in the public. it is forbidden by law and will be fined. respect the fact that you are in an islamic country (even though it is in many aspects a more liberal country than the us). anything else you can read in the forum.

have a great stay and perfect shags in dubai!

Hello fellows,

Ramada Jumeirah on Mina Rd. (btw. Port Rashid and Satwa) seems to be quite new and reasonable priced by DXB standards. Could anyone shed some light concerning the policy at this hotel please?

Thanks!

Hi mongers,

Except the Buddha bar where there is a lot of action, can members tell me in which night-club or bars, WG can be founded.

I am only interrested in the Marina aera.

Thanks in advance.

MP also if needed.

Most of the hotels became non GF after the crackdown following the incident where a British national threw a working woman from his 2nd floor room balcony. I stayed at the Broadway hotel in Feb this year this is the reason they gave me.

Sea View green folks.

The first night I took a girl she didn't have I'd, she showed her labor card and off we went.

Details to follow next week.

Millennium Plaza Hotel in SZR is green as of 21st OCT. ID card registration required.
