Dubai - Hotel Information

[QUOTE=Big Bob II]But does anybody know if Sheraton Dubai Creek is still green?[/QUOTE]It was extremely Green about 10 weeks ago.

Update on York Hotel:

The Philipino Bar Downstairs is now an Indian Mujra Club. Only stayed a few minutes, but it looked okay.

I asked the York duty manager about their policy on bringing girls into the room. He said it is not allowed. I asked "Are you 100% sure?" He replied "110%, Sir".

Update on Regal Hotel: The duty manager said I could bring a girl to the room, for 150DH guest fee.

Karama Hotel - fully GF, no extra fee. Some nice Filipina semi-pros in Ratsky's Club. Quite tasty. :)

[QUOTE=Cool Tiger]Piper, your photos brought back wonderful memories ..... not the girl... but the room at Karama, lol.

Very spacious rooms, with a well-stocked mini-bar (although sometimes this works against you). Many a times, I have forgotten to close the curtains or left them open, only for the girls to point out that we were in full view of the apartments behind the hotel. [/QUOTE]Yep, the room was spacious, clean and comfy. No complaints at all, and good value at 400AED total, and they let me check out at 4pm.

I like Ratsky's Club also. The girls are sweet and not hardened. As far as I could tell, there were many non-pros, and none of the girls were full-time pros. First girl I was chatting up turned out not to be a WG, but a shy girl out with a group of friends/cousins, including guys (they kept encouraging her to take up my request to dance).

Do you have to book a double at Four Points to bring guests in? There is a 50D difference in price.

I also noticed that, though booked "single" and had no problem bringing someone very recently. I still dont know what extra 50 goes to, since there is no breakfast offered.

I always book a double (price is usually the same anyway) and a small charge like 50dhs would be worth it in my book.

[QUOTE=Mike Mike]Hi,

New hotel oposite the Grand Haytt but very far from city (about 60-70 dhms = 20$ for return taxi fee) qualiy is good each floor have very big tv and newspaper room. Low price is for weekend Friday-Sunday with breakfast+lunch+dinnir+6 drinks but your menu is limited 2 or 3 selection in main food

Superir room 465Dhm just soft drink and 525Dhm with alcohle drink.

Rooms not as big as they show in site.

There is a bar Oasis but always few people.

In my idea if you choose a hotel in city center it is better unless you rent a car but in the main raod to hotel there is not you turn you must go to end of road in takes time. Hotel stuff is good, there is shutlle for airport, beach and wifi male center.[/QUOTE]Mike Mike, check the links I posted last week. Current special price is 275DH including tax and breakfast. (I called them and confirmed this price, and confirmed it is GF - no extra charge). I saw the package prices including drinks and food, but I prefer room only, so I'm not locked into the place for food and drinks. (1Ball emailed me yesterday that the rate will be 1200DH in October/November when there are some trade shows in town!) As for taxi, depends what you mean by 'far from the city'. It would be 10-15 mins (around 15DH) to the golden triangle area in Bur dubai. Thanks for reminding me it's next to Grand Hyatt - had a good time in Club Mix last year - might try it again next week.

Thanks Mike. 20 sqm is fine, I'm sure. I'll check it out soon.

This is a good price for a Dubai hotel. Is it too far from the Golden Triangle for a Dubai newbie?

Cheers.

Just returned from a night at the Sheraton Dubai Creek. (See FR). It is 100% girl-friendly. Nice big rooms, nice gym and swimming pool. Decent restaurants especially the British pub called Chelsea Arms (Unfortunately the decor of the bar is Chelsea FC memorabilia. I hate Chelsea).

If your girl obviously looks like a WG, the security guard will ask for a copy of her passport. But otherwise, there is no fee.

The downside of Sheraton is the VERY LONG WALK OF SHAME that involves an escalator of shame from the main entrance to the lobby, followed by a long lobby walk of shame, followed by a balcony of shame because all the rooms below 5th floor overlook the lobby atrium. Try to get a room on 6th floor or higher.

The Sheraton is 15 minutes walking distance to Broadway. Walking directions: From the hotel, turn RIGHT. Go one block and at the first traffic light, turn LEFT. Walk one block until you reach a major highway, which I think is al Rigga street. Cross at the intersection and turn RIGHT. Continue down this highway for about two blocks. On your left side you will eventually reach a covered alley that cuts through a small shopping center. Turn LEFT and go through this alley. When you emerge, you will be facing the Broadway hotel. Enjoy!
