[QUOTE=HcTiger;1546563]Hi buddies,
I'm planning to visit Dubai this weekend for an official trip. Just wanted to check if the Oberoi hotel is green. Would really appreciate if you could share your feedback.
Thanks![/QUOTE]Stayed there about 6 months ago. Was 100% green. They just called saying that a "lady guest is here for you" (as I had ordered from an old contact!) and she was sent straight up.
The second time (next day of the stay) another WG was sent straight up, no questions asked.
Dear ISG members.
There are several ways to know if a hotel is green or not. Here they are:
1-By Researching this forum.
2-Calling up the hotel or sending them an e-mail.
3-Pretend the hotel is Green "By default" and walk directly with your catch to the elevator.
I hope it helps!

2-Calling up the hotel or sending them an e-mail.
[/QUOTE]Don't straight away ask you want to bring a girl over.
Better way to put the question is that - What is hotel policy for overnight guests accompanying the checked in guest?
Most will reply that only double occupancy basis booking is required that is a positive sign.
Then call them and ask straight that do they require original I'd or photocopy is enough for your overnight visitor.
You get a clear idea on basis of their reply thereafter.
Usually I use the word "Girlfriend" when I ask!! I am sure most Hotels know the definition of "Guest". One reply that I got saying "Male guest is OK. Female is NO".

[QUOTE=Gunners1;1602408]Greetings,
As a regular guest of the hotel for years I had pre booked in a non refundable offer. When I checked in yesterday they said guest need to check in with me. Otherwise outside guests will not be allowed.
I was now in a spot of bother. After about 30 minutes of convincing with the manager finally was offered an option of checking in as single occupancy and then change it to double when the lady arrives. This will be at a cost of aed 150 . As I had no other option I agreed.
So punters beware.
I did bring a Uzbekistan girl from Rockfellas and paid the aed 150.
G[/QUOTE]Gents,
I wish I had read Gunners 1 report before I checked in to Ramada BD as the same thing happened to me very recently except I got stung for AED 200, in cash to the manager in question and no mention of giving me a receipt! I reckon this is some sort of scam or shakedown. Clearly I was not forced to pay this but I did of course as I had little choice (other than to forego my night of mongering, and that was not an option). So I reiterate Gunners 1 caution. Beware!
Oh, I also brought back a girl, a very nice Filli and so got some payback on my investment.

Does anyone know of any IHG hotels in DXB that they would recommend as being GF? I have done a search already and nothing showed up for IHG.
I was checking through different websites to find a decent hotel for my planned mo gearing weekend. While a lot has been said and shared about the hotels in Dubai. I was just wondering if anyone has tried the listed apartments on airbnb? Some properties seem very decent.
Greetings,
Interesting. AED200 for you and AED 150 for me sounds weird. They didn't give me a receipt either on both nights. I usually tip the bell boy quite heavily during all my visits and he also mentioned the same to me. That they have amended the process.
Anyway. I have switched to the radisson blu deira this weekend. Will keep you posted on the color when I get there.
Fingers crossed.
G.

The lobby is busy and the lifts are between the lobby and the bar. Also there is a bar on the top floor so it is quite possible to take a girl back. The only issue us you need a keycard for the lifts so you'd need to be with the girl.

Lifts at Crowne Plaza Festival City are viewable from reception but I don't know whether GF or not.

I also stayed at the holiday inn express in / near knowledge village and the girl was able to come up to my room on her own.

I stayed in the Crowne Plaza hotel in Sheikh Zayed Road earlier this week (having checked out of the Ramada Bur Dubai which is not GF any more) and brought a very attractive Ethiopian girl up to my room without even having to show her I'd, so yes it is very GF.

Greetings.
FYI the raddison blu deira is green. Great hotel. The Lifts are controlled by an access card so either you will have to come down to meet the girl, take the girl with you or inform the reception before hand.
They need to bring their I'd / passport which will be scanned at the front desk.
There are a lot of security patrolling the lobby around night. So you can hardly by pass them.
I am posting this from the hotel during my weekend stay.
Enjoy.

I had pre-booked the Ramada Bur Dubai a couple of months ago on a non-refundable booking using my credit card. As most people on here know already, its policies have changed in the last month so it's no longer suitable for our hobby.
In the meantime I've booked another hotel on SZR using loyalty points that is a better option. I can't cancel the Ramada booking without losing all the money. Should I just take the hit and go with a hotel that is more relaxed with visitors in rooms?
Confirming that during my stay Royal Ascot is green. Require original I'd and no copies accepted.
Remember to book DOUBLE occupancy.
A friend was al Al Mas and that too was green. They accepted copies of I'd as well.
