Dream Palace Hotel
by galatea234 about Dream Palace Hotel
The hotel rooms surpassed their rates. I was expecting to be staying in a really cramped room as I paid only AED250 for a night's stay (which is cheaper than the hell-holes of Ibis hotel rooms) but the room was big, the toilet was not cramped at all and the service was superb. I left my ring when I checked out of the hotel and called them up the same day and was advised that the housekeeper already gave it to the reception and I can take it anytime. I've been recommending this place to all my friends visiting my here in Dubai as it really is a good deal for your money. The rooms were very much alike Grand Millenium Al Barsha's rooms which is a 5star property.
Dream Palace, More Like Nightmare on Elm Street
by Geordiecarl about Dream Palace Hotel
After 18 hours of travelling ia bed was very welcome indeed but the 'dream palace' was not a blace we could relax. The reception was dirty, and service was slow for check in. Our Room was on the 5th floor, a hot room which the door kept jamming damp floors. On closer inspection the place got worse, window wouldnt shut, door wouldnt lock appliences were plugged in using wires (ie had no plugs) there was even NAKED WIRES IN THE BATHROOM, health hazzard.
During our short 2 night stay our party had many problems, I could'nt get my passport on checkout. Worst of all another member of the party came back at 4am to find his room 3 inches deep in water (remember 'electrical faults' above) which ruined the majority of their luggage.

dream palace hotel is located in Muraqqabat Road and the distance is about 20 Kilometers from jumeira mosque!! Seeing Abu Dhabi if you have a car can be done on yourself, otherwise taking a guided tour would be a good option!!

I agree with Amir, a guided tour of AD would be the best option.

Does anyone know anything abou the Ascot Hotel in Dubai. I looks like a small 2 star hotel near the commercial centre.
I'd be grateful for any comments.

The Ascot Hotel is located near the creek, in the heart of Old Dubai ("Bur Dubai") in centre of the Textile Souk :-) It's a nice area for exploring Dubai by foot and seeing the traditional and historical side of Dubai.
The hotel is nothing special, but it's ok.

Hi Pat. It's a 2 to 3 star hotel. Located on the busiest street in Bur Dubai but a good location for exploring the centre of the city. Close to some shopping malls and the local shopping area around Al Fahidi Street, then on into the souks and to the Creek.

Shopping in Dubai
by Sherl
Hi, I'm Sherl & is coming to Dsf on 7th Feb for a short trip.I' ve just come across this site & joined it. I live in Manchester,UK & thank all those who have answered to the queries in this forum which has been a help to me too.
I'd like to kno is it ok for a single girl to shop around alone & any specific timings for shopping malls being open & best shops in gold souk for gold & saris & casuals & also a funny request,kitchen items.
Also how far is dubai airport from dream palace hotel ( is this hotel safe for a single female )& distance approx from this hotel to shopping malls.
Hope to recieve good replies & thanks.

Hi there Sherl,
Well as I have mentioned before Dubai is safe for everybody male or female , single or married :-)
The best time for shopping is 10:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M.
For saris you can go to Meena Bazar located in Bur Dubai or Karama Shopping Center. There is a big supernarket in Deira City Center called Carrefour, they have all kinds of kitchen utensils.
I leave you an URL giving some information about dream palace hotel, it says that the distance is a five minute drive to Airport and walking distance to shopping malls. The URL is:

The hotel would be safe, in the unlikely event of being in any kind of risky situation you can contact police on telephone number 999.
Wish you a safe trip and happy memories to take back home.

There's not really a 'best shop' in the gold souk, they're all good and have a huge range of jewellery. The best thing to do is spend some time wandering around and looking - which you'll enjoy doing anyway - and when you see something you like, go in and look at it & get the price. Make a note ogf the shop's name and carry on wandering, you may well come across the same thing at a cheaper price in another shop, or something you prefer. Keep on until you've finally decided what you want and you've found the best price for it.
There are shopping malls all over Dubai - I think the nearest to your hotel will be Al Ghurair City.

Also, Deira City Centre which Amir mentioned is not far away.

welcome to dubai sheri. I am sure u will enjoy the trip. weather is nice and shopping is good. brings lots of money to shop. Thats what this place is famous for, among a few other things.
Single girl, half a girl or many girls...dubai is pretty safe. Just dont ask for trouble and you wont encounter any.
Dream palace is an ok place. I have known some ppl who stayed there in the past. I mean no one is going to knock on yr door and harrass you there. its quite central to where the action of DSF is. In any case police here is very efficient and polite.
Have a good trip.Once you are here an need anything then write to me on my hotmail addy truth786@hotmail.com
