FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Give the bag to the front desk with your name and room number, then tell us in the chat. The 24-hour desk keeps the clean order for you, whatever time you return from the Corniche or the mall. The hotel has 155 rooms on 21 floors and a 24-hour desk, so even a 3 am return is not a problem.
- Handy for late check-ins
- Tag each bag with the room number
- Our driver collects from the desk
It is +971 50 384 1660 on WhatsApp, the Laundrykhalas line and not the hotel's. Say your room number, roughly what you have, and whether you booked under the Flamingo name; a price and pickup time follow.
- Five shirts and a casual bag is a fine list
- You confirm the total first
- The old Flamingo name works too
The same day, if it is in the driver's hands by 12 noon. The suit comes back cleaned and pressed on a hanger; one that arrives after noon is back in 24 hours, which suits most onward flights. The business centre on site is where many guests print the agenda for the meeting their suit is cleaned for.
- Tie: AED 15
- Overcoat: AED 50
- Evening returns can run as late as 11 pm
A 6kg bag of washing is AED 60. Dry cleaning is charged per piece, and the chat shows the sum before a driver leaves, so the figure at the door matches the quote. A tour desk and car hire at the hotel mean days out on the road, and dust on the clothes that follows.
- Baby items: AED 6
- Sweater or hoodie: AED 20
- Bath towel: AED 6
AED 12 to AED 120 a piece, depending on the garment. Guests at Le Royal Meridien, a few doors along, are charged the same list.

- Saree: AED 40
- Sherwani: AED 40

That depends on the rate you book, so ask the hotel. Breakfast or not, a shirt for the morning can be pressed the evening before and left at the desk, ready before you go down to eat or set off on a day trip.

- Pressing a shirt on a hanger: AED 9
- Ready next morning if booked early
- No need to be in the room
Yes, free of charge. Mention it in the chat and the whole order is washed in unscented detergent, kinder to children and to skin that reacts to perfume.
