Vacation #2 - Dubai : Flora Inn Hotel Dubai Airport (Bilingual)

Daddy Bear came up with an idea that why I did not share our hotel room when we traveled to Dubai for 1 night. Considering that was a 4-star hotel too. At least it meets my hotel review criteria. I was like “oh yeah, why not!?”.

Daddy Bear datang dengan ide mengapa saya tidak berbagi kamar hotel kami ketika kami bepergian ke Dubai selama 1 malam. Mengingat itu adalah hotel bintang 4 juga. Setidaknya memenuhi kriteria ulasan hotel saya. Saya seperti “oh yeah, kenapa tidak!?”.

So let’s have a flashback for a bit. I remembered when we arrived in Dubai, it was around 11 PM. We went straight to our hotel by taxi. The hotel staff were welcoming, very friendly and polite. The only problem is we ended up paying much more than we expected, and the breakfast was excluded. I noticed that the hotel’s rate in Dubai is also changeable, it depends on the season we travel in. When we booked the Flora Inn hotel online, we chose the ‘pay at the property’ option. It was mainly because I was a bit worried if I was not allowed to enter Dubai without visa. As it turned out everything went smoothly. We only paid for the VOA, as we expected. But you know, I always prepare a plan B, so we don’t have to pay too much for nothing. Anyway, we thought the hotel rate was around 1,600,000 IDR ish as stated on the travel application, but we ended up paying around 2,600,000 ID. The hotel rate was almost 2,000,000 IDR per night plus around 600,000 IDR safety deposit that was charged to my credit card, and we had to pay for breakfast seperately. The hotel is normally way cheaper than that if you check on the search engine. But we flew there during peak season in December 2018. That’s why they raised their rate so much, sadly.

Jadi mari kita lakukan kilas balik sebentar. Saya ingat ketika kami tiba di Dubai, sekitar jam 11 malam. Kami langsung menuju ke hotel kami dengan taksi. Staf hotel menyambut, sangat ramah dan sopan. Satu-satunya masalah adalah kami akhirnya membayar lebih dari yang kami harapkan, dan sarapan tidak termasuk. Saya perhatikan bahwa tarif hotel di Dubai juga dapat berubah, tergantung pada musim perjalanan kami. Ketika kami memesan hotel Flora Inn secara online, kami memilih opsi ‘bayar di properti’. Hal itu terutama karena saya agak khawatir jika saya tidak diizinkan masuk Dubai tanpa visa. Ternyata semuanya berjalan lancar.  Kami hanya membayar untuk VOA, seperti yang kami harapkan. Tapi tahukah kamy, saya selalu menyiapkan rencana B, jadi kami tidak perlu membayar terlalu banyak untuk apa pun. Ngomong-ngomong, kami pikir tarif hotel sekitar 1.600.000 Rupiah sebagaimana tercantum pada aplikasi perjalanan, tetapi kami akhirnya membayar sekitar 2.600.000 ID. Tarif hotel hampir Rp 2.000.000 per malam plus uang jaminan sekitar Rp  600.000 yang dibebankan ke kartu kredit saya, dan kami harus membayar untuk sarapan secara terpisah. Hotel ini biasanya jauh lebih murah daripada itu jika kamy memeriksa di search engine. Tapi kami terbang ke sana selama musim puncak pada bulan Desember 2018. Itu sebabnya mereka menaikkan tarif mereka, sedih.

When we got into our room, we were like “wait, wha-!?” We got a double twin bed, instead of a king bed as we requested on our message. However it was late and we were knackered; we just wanted to lay down and rest. We couldn’t be bothered wasting our energy by complaining. We had to wake up early to have our breakfast and stroll around the city before catching our flight to London.

Ketika kami masuk ke kamar kami, kami seperti "tunggu, apa!?" Kami mendapat tempat tidur kembar ganda, bukan tempat tidur King seperti yang kami minta pada pesan kami. Namun sudah terlambat dan kami lelah; kami hanya ingin berbaring dan beristirahat. Kami tidak sanggup repot-repot membuang energi dengan mengeluh. Kami harus bangun pagi untuk sarapan dan berjalan-jalan di kota sebelum mengejar penerbangan kami ke London.
