[QUOTE=SanjayHra;2064921]I'm shocked to hear this. This was super green, with the massive rooms and rear entrance to the hotel, this was one of the nicest hotels in Deira to monger. Do you think the proximity to Moscow has anything to do with this. Crap l really liked this place.[/QUOTE]Who knows? They said they were raided recently. I was just going to stroll in the back but the guard is clearly being instructed to watch for visitors.
Girl friendly, no ID required. Stayed on a Thursday night, as we came in around 2 AM there was a clerk standing just inside of the doors. He said have a good night, and pointed in the direction of the lifts not the desk. On the following night he was not there, but I just went straight to the lifts, no troubles.
[QUOTE=Rick5269;2064485]I tried yesterday to bring a girl from Moscow back to HDC. I had read before it was green, and especially so, with the direct rear-door access to the lifts. However, I quickly was told "no visitors allowed" and had to send the girl off in a fairly embarrassing situation. Have had good experiences at 4/5* hotels in JBR and SZR, so was quite surprise (and disappointed) by this. Add to this the decidedly down market breakfast, the slow internet, and dingy lobby, and it's off my list![/QUOTE]I stayed there earlier this year and never stopped at the desk. I usually think as I do me picking, how would she look on my arm as we walk in. Just curious!

[QUOTE=Tkn14;2056422]Dear ISG Members.
I keep seeing men in local dresses standing behind the reception desk on most of the famous 5 stars green hotels between 10 pm til morning! I have discussed this with my friends and WGs and they have noticed the same thing.
Any Idea?[/QUOTE]I know that some hotels have staff (mainly Arabs from Yemen, or Egypt) dressed with local dress to serve coffee and offer dates. But in general they were a turban instead of the Agal (the black round thingy they put to hold the gutra). If you do think there are locals I see two possibilities. The first is that they are staff (which I doubt). And the other is LE.
Hi Guys,
Quick question. I've stayed in a slew of GF hotels in Dubai in the past and reported on them, however, this time, I'm planning on staying in Dubai for a week and would like to stay in a GF hotel apartment in the Deira / Bur Dubai area. I've looked on [URL]booking.com[/URL] and came across names like London Crown 1/2 hotel apts and Tulip Hotel Apaprtments in Bur Dubai. The reason for choosing an apartment this time around is that a hotel for 7 days would be a bit costly.
Does anyone know if any of these are GF or if anyone has any recommendations in the nearby areas, that would be good. I've stayed in Marriott executive suites before but they are very expensive.
Cheers.

And yes, the ones I noticed were more or less LE, you can tell apart very quickly. In some hotels with glass lifts in atriums, you may find them looking up following the lift.

Cheers.[/QUOTE]Usually these places are not GF friendly. If you book for two you can bring one girl in later but she has to register. Once you register one you can't bring another. Try baity or winchester apts. You can call these places and they would let you know their policies. I have stayed at somewhere hotel deira which is similar and is GF friendly. But check out their prices if it is suitable for you.
Was thinking it would nice to stay in one of the new hotels overlooking the canal, or maybe there Taj or the Ritz. Any advice?
Been told the JWMM is a no go. Surprises me to be honest.

Cheers.[/QUOTE]Last night I picked an uzbick girl from abjar hotel, and she took me to her room in a hotel three blocks inside the dira area just opsit the Hyatt. We walked in she greeted the receptionist got her key changed, apparently she was locked out of her room before she left and was handed a new key, all of this while I just stood there and no question about me or my ID or what I was doing at 5 am following this girl into her room.
If this budget hotel is this cool with girls, I can imagine they would treat the guys even better. The reason I bring it up is because of its proximity to premiere at the Hyatt, and the fact that it was new and clean. I guess this could be a good choice for someone who can't take girls back to their home or hotel for privacy reason, but don't want to fork out big bucks for few hours activity.
The downside, it's tucked in a bustling street in a dira neighborhood that's full of regular people.
I'm not going to name the hotel till I get more qualifications about their policy and was this just an odd incident.
I just noticed that the rate for a room in Dubai via [URL]booking.com[/URL] includes the other fees they used to charge in addition to the room rate. Saw this on [URL]booking.com[/URL]. Is this a recent development because I stayed for 4 nights in Dubai at the end of June and these charges were extra in addition to the room cost:
Prices are per room.
Included: 10 % Municipality fee, AED 20.00 Tourism fee per night, 10 % Property service charge.

10 % Municipality fee, AED 20.00 Tourism fee per night, 10 % Property service charge.[/QUOTE]This is standard in Dubai, and the 20.00 derhams tourism fee is a per unit charge, regardless of cost or number of guests.
[QUOTE=FloridaSun;2071021]This is standard in Dubai, and the 20.00 derhams tourism fee is a per unit charge, regardless of cost or number of guests.[/QUOTE]What I mean is that before the room rate was EXCLUSIVE of these charges and now it is INCLUSIVE, which is a nice change.
Has anyone ever tried using the Fairmont on SZR for picking up talent from Cavalli or Cin Cin? Any difficulties faced with security?
Hi folks,
I stayed at Media One hotel in the media city. Last year it was very green (except if you are waiting for an African lady! You have to go down and take her yourself to your room, personally find it embarrassing to me).
Anyways, this year I am supposed to stay for one month. So prefer to stay in a place more like hotel apartment (Or at least with Microwave and Refrigerator).
Any advise please?
Thanks.
