46 per cent of MPs back third runway at Heathrow
Related Articles
Published: 12 November 2012
A third runway at Heathrow is the most popular option among MPs for solving the South-East's air capacity crisis, an exclusive poll reveals today.
A powerful 46 per cent of MPs support strongly or tend to support expansion at the hub airport, research by Ipsos MORI discovered.
Strikingly, more of both Labour and the Conservatives support Heathrow expansion than oppose it — despite leaders David Cameron and Ed Miliband flatly opposing the idea.
The findings are a major boost to Heathrow's campaign to defend its position as the UK's premier airport against a plethora of rival plans, including expansion at other airports and the creation of a replacement.
By contrast, backing for Boris Johnson's bold vision of a new 24-hour London Gateway airport in the Thames Estuary is supported by a modest 16 per cent of MPs. Heathrow was four points ahead of Gatwick, which was backed by 42 per cent, and seven points clear of Stansted, supported by 39 per cent. "Boris Island" was the least popular option among MPs.
Tory MP Angie Bray, a leading opponent of Heathrow expansion, claimed the high support for a third runway was because nervous MPs were looking for a "not in my back yard" solution.
"I'm not surprised that a very large number of colleagues who live nowhere near Heathrow are happy to support that option," she said. "These MPs will be long gone in 30 years' time when, if we built a third runway, we would be suffering an aviation capacity crisis all over again."
More Conservative MPs support the expansion of Heathrow than oppose it — some 47 support it versus 39 against. Support was even higher in Labour, at 50 per cent. But a clear 70 per cent of Liberal Democrats opposed it.
Carl Phillips, director at Ipsos MORI's Reputation Centre, said: "The idea of a London Gateway airport has been disregarded by the majority of MPs – clearly the Mayor has his work cut out if he wants to win support for a new airport.
"Meanwhile, the option of expanding Heathrow sees MPs polarised, especially across the Conservative benches. Labour MPs are the most likely to support a third runway, but only half support it, while the Liberal Democrats are vehemently opposed. By contrast, while the idea of building additional runways at Gatwick and or Stansted attracts a comparatively strong level of support across the House, there is no majority view."
Tory MP Mark Field, who supports a third runway to fill in until "Boris Island" could be built, said he was "surprised and disappointed" by the low support for the estuary scheme.
"We need an airport fit for the 21st century," said the MP for the Cities of London & Westminster. "But since Boris Island would take 15 years to build we have to address the shortage of capacity now, and only Heathrow and Gatwick can do that."
Richard Ottaway, the Conservative chairman of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, said an Estuary airport was a better answer and predicted MPs would come round to it.
"I think it is the future, but I know that people are concerned about the cost of building it. If there were clear explanations of how it would be funded then support would grow."
An Estuary airport had the highest levels of opposition of the four options — Conservatives were 48 per cent against; Labour 64 per cent; and Liberal Democrats 80 per cent. But Heathrow had the second highest level of opposition, at 35 per cent, indicating it raises passions on both sides.
A spokesman for the Mayor said: "It is very good news that so many MPs now agree with the Mayor that new aviation capacity is required to serve London, and that is a big shift of opinion from only two years ago.
"Obviously there are organisations with vested interests in this debate who are fighting to expand their own airports and shore up their profits. But the role of Parliament is to take a longer term view in the national interest and the Mayor believes that, as the facts are laid in front of the Davies Commission, the case for a new hub airport will become compellingly attractive."
Ipsos MORI interviewed 93 MPs face to face this summer. Data is weighted to reflect the Commons by party allegiance and front/back bench status.

Sea turtles hit hardest by BP's Gulf of Mexico oil spill will be released today, as BP makes plans to permanently plug its leaking well starting next week.
More than 500 sea turtle deaths among several species have been documented by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's fisheries program, and turtle strandings in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle are said to be "much higher" since the Gulf spill.
The turtles scheduled to be released today spend most of their lives in the Gulf and therefore are thought to be most threatened by the spill, according to Todd Steiner, director of the Turtle Island Restoration Network.
Steiner is against the release because currents where the turtles will float lead into oil-polluted areas.
"We believe they're going to get into the oil and die," Steiner told USA Today.

Now hold on a minute. I was not a big fan of Demis Roussos' solo career. That wasn't my kind of music. Ever. But he was a bona fide mega-star when I was growing up, and a lot of people bought his records. However, I recently became aware of a late-60s prog-rock outfit called Aphrodite's Child, who were a bit before my time, and I was surprised to hear – at least, I thought I'd heard, then went home and looked it up – that their line-up included Roussos.
So with that, it is sad to hear that Demis died yesterday.
I was also surprised to discover that Aphrodite's Child included Vangelis (of Chariots of Fire fame). He said on hearing of Roussos' death:
As for me, I keep those special memories that we share together those early days and I wish you to be happy wherever you are.
Aphrodite's Child are worth looking up, as this video shows (remember: it's from the late-60s/early-70s, so make allowances for choice of clothing and general hirsuteness).
Yes! No UK dates yet, but they will surely come. The North American R40 dates are here. There are 35 dates up until August, which suggests they'll be over here later in the year. My guess is September/October.
I noticed a this topic on a forum recently and thought it would be a good thing publish some sensible stuff about it.
No one is absolutely and definitely certain why the UK drives on the left and everyone else (about three quarters of the world) on the right. However, there are some very reasonable arguments about why this is (I got this from Tesco Bank). It's worth noting that in order to understand these arguments, you have to consider an extended historical timeline. You can't just take one piece of historical information and then poo-poo it in a modern context. Well, I say that – don't forget that we're talking about driving instructors here, and they can do things like that at the drop of a hat!
In the past, when swords were the weapon of choice, most people were right-handed. It was therefore common practice to walk on the left and pass other travellers sword arm to sword arm. Many years later, in the mid-18th century, the General Highways Act was introduced and this practice was carried over with the recommendation that traffic keep to the left. This was then further carried on into the Highways Bill in the early part of the 19th century.
In France, there was probably a similar approach to start with, but when Napoleon came to power, the fact that he was left-handed meant that he marched on the right. So France adopted this, and since both France and Britain were active colonisers any country they colonised was forced to adopt the respective system.
America was initially colonised by Britain, France, Spain, and Portugal. Britain was a minority player, and so using the left-hand side of the road was never adopted over there. As America grew, many other countries changed their system to match.
It would cost billions for the UK to change now.
Like it or not, swords are part of the reason why we drive on the left. There's no single reason why the world does what it does, but an interconnected series of historical situations that stretch back to mediaeval times.
It looks like part of a coordinated exercise, as this email from DVSA advises that the Sinfin test centre in Derby is moving to the ex-VOSA testing station in Alveston. The timescale is similar to that for the Leicester move in the recent article, and people should carry on booking as usual in the meantime.
This one might cause a few more hisses of disapproval from the vipers, as a distance of around 4 miles is involved. Jeez, when I first started I used to cover tests at Sinfin (not many), even though I'm based in Nottingham.
An update from DVSA reports that the last test at Sinfin will be 10 February 2015. Tests as the new Alvaston centre will commence 16 February.
Well, competition is hotting up already for the 2015 Darwin Awards. This story on the BBC skirts around the details, but The Independent apparently calls it like it is.
Two men are almost certainly dead after going swimming in the sea in Brighton. If that wasn't bad enough, consider that they were in their 20s, had been drinking, and decided on this seemingly clever course of action at around 1am. And if you still think it sounds OK, consider also that there were force 9 gales – the sea tends to become a little unpredictable when it's that windy.
At the end of the BBC version, a separate Brighton incident is reported where an 18-year old deliberately went into the sea at 9am. He got out again.
It's hard to feel any sympathy whatsoever for any of these morons. Coastguard staff could (and still could) have died, just because of these juvenile prats and their undiagnosed learning disabilities.
An update to the story suggests that it was a "dare". In some respects, that makes it an even more stupid act.
Originally posted in 2009. Updated for 2015.
Further to a post about cancelled lessons due to weather, I noticed on one forum someone getting all excited about how there is a market for specialised snow lessons.
Let's have a reality check here.
- Until February 2009, it hadn't snowed to any appreciable extent in the UK for around 26 years!
- We had two bad winters, then a few years ago several mild ones with almost no snow.
- When it DOES snow a little it is usually gone inside a week or two.
Admittedly, local councils' incompetence and bureaucracy (Nottingham councils are certainly no exception here) means that every time there is any bad weather it is like they have never experienced it before. This – and the media hyping it to death – makes things seem a lot worse than they really are.
Will I be ditching my normal pupils and specialising in snow driving? Will I be buying a Ski-doo and offering lessons on that? I don't think so.
You see, having a "specialised Snow Instructor" in the UK (particularly in England) would be like having a fleet of icebreakers sailing around the Mediterranean: bloody stupid! Which makes it an ideal venture for some clown to take on to Dragon's Den, I suppose.
Those of use who remain here on Planet Earth will carry on doing things the way they do now: use whatever weather comes to hand as a teaching opportunity if it is appropriate.
Here are some typical search terms people use to find the blog.
Will my driving lessons be cancelled due to snow?
It depends on how much snow there is, how far advanced you are with your training, and your instructor's attitude to teaching in snow. There is no rule that says you mustn't have lessons in snow. In fact, it makes sense to do them so you can get valuable experience. But beginners perhaps shouldn't because it's just too dangerous for them. It's your instructor's decision, even if you want to do it.
Do driving lessons get cancelled when there is snow?
It depends on how much snow and how advanced you are as a learner driver. Your instructor will decide. You won't get charged for it – if you do, find another instructor quickly. Remember that if the police are advising people not to travel unless it's essential, having a driving lesson in those conditions might not be a good idea.
Will my instructor tell me if my lesson is cancelled?
He or she should do. But why take the chance? Just call or text him and ask. Why make life so complicated when a simple text will sort it all out? If he just doesn't turn up, get another instructor as soon as possible.
Will I have to pay for my lesson if it's cancelled due to snow?
Well, there's no law which says your instructor can't charge you. However, if he or she does (or tries to), find another one quickly because the Law Of Common Decency says that they should NOT charge you. Not in a million years!
However, if it's you who wants to cancel – but your instructor wants to go ahead with the lesson – then it is a little more tricky. It all depends on whether the conditions really are too bad, and whether or not your ADI is making the right decision based on the right reasons. Unfortunately, this is between you and your instructor – but as I said above, if you aren't happy then find another one.
If you want to do the lesson, but your instructor refuses, again – if you're not happy with that (and you must be realistic about the conditions) – find another one. When I cancel lessons it's usually with my newer pupils who I know can panic and brake too hard. All the others can handle it as long as conditions aren't too bad. As a general rule, if the advice is not to travel unless it's absolutely necessary, or if the roads are gridlocked, then I will cancel a lesson no matter who it is.
As an example, it recently began snowing heavily about 30 minutes before I was due to pick someone up. The roads quickly got covered and traffic began to slow down. I made a choice there and then to cancel the lesson (we actually moved it back a few days) because I had no idea how long the conditions would last. With hindsight, it was the right decision because the snow continued for about an hour.
I'm worried about driving lessons in snow
Don't be. You're going to have to do it when you've passed, and it makes sense to learn how to do it now while you have the chance. A lot of people never see snow until they've passed their tests, then they don't know what to do.
Will my driving test be cancelled due to snow?
Quite possibly. You need to phone up the test centre on the day using the number on your email confirmation and check. Otherwise, you MUST turn up – even if they cancel it at the last minute. If you don't, you'll probably lose your test fee – or end up having a drawn-out argument over it. Make life simple and follow the guidelines.
If my test is cancelled, will I have to pay for another?
No. They will send you a new date within a few days (or you can phone them or look it up online). And it will not count as one of your six "lives" for moving your test.
Can I claim for out of pocket expenses if my test is cancelled?
No. Neither you, nor your instructor, can claim any money back – which is one reason some unscrupulous ADIs might try and charge you for the hire of the car on the day as if the test had gone ahead.
Will snow stop a driving test?
YES. Snow can easily stop a test, or prevent it from going ahead. It doesn't matter how you phrase the question, or who you ask, if there is snow then the test is likely to be affected. They tell you all this when you book it – it's on the cover note that no one bothers to read which goes with the confirmation email.
Driving tests cancelled due to snow 2015
It doesn't matter if it's 1815, 1915, 2015, or any other date. They will probably cancel your test if there is snow on the ground and/or it is icy. And it doesn't matter what you, your instructor, or your mum or dad says. It is up to the test centre to decide.
Why was my driving test cancelled because it snowed?
Use your common sense. Driving in snow is dangerous even for experienced drivers. The side streets are covered in sheet ice and compacted snow and you WILL skid if you even drive carefully on them. You could EASILY lose control. That's why there are so many accidents in snow and icy conditions.
On top of all this, you are a new driver and you are NOT as experienced as you think – in fact, you may never even have driven on snow before. The DSA isn't going to take the risk, so you have to accept it.
Incidentally, I keep seeing search terms like "cancelled driving test 23rd" from people located 300 miles away in my stats. The internet doesn't work like that!
This DVSA email reports that from Monday 12 January 2015, the Hazard Perception Test will switch from real clips to CGI (computer generated) ones. The Theory Test is otherwise unchanged and it is quite likely candidates will be unaware of the change – the clips are so realistic.
I can't wait to see comments from the ignorati out there. I think I'll open a book on who brings up "video game" first.
Incidentally, the Driving Test Success (Focus Multimedia) app now has a Vol 2, which consists of CGI clips. It only costs £1.49 and is well worth downloading.
You can scan the QR code shown here to find it, or search the app store for your phone – search for "Hazard Perception Test vol 2″.
My advice is to download ONLY the Focus Multimedia apps for the theory test (questions and hazard perception). Nothing else comes close to the quality of these.
Technically, you can get away with just downloading the volume 2 clips now, but I'd strongly advise downloading volume 1 as well if you want to have the best chance of passing. Even if you buy all three apps – questions and two HPT volumes – you're paying less than £6 for all the training materials you will ever need.
I've been trying to steer clear of this, but I can't. Before I start let me make one thing absolutely clear: RAPE IS WRONG.
For anyone who's been living in a cave, Ched Evans is a footballer who used to play for Sheffield United. A couple of years ago he was convicted of rape and sent to prison for five years. He's served about half of that sentence and is now out on probation. He is trying to rebuild his career. Initially, it looked like Sheffield Utd would take him back, but there was an outcry and they backed down. A Maltese club wanted to sign him, but the Ministry of Justice said he couldn't play abroad. Currently, Oldham Athletic are in talks about whether or not to sign him, but they are under intense pressure not to.
Evans still maintains his innocence, even though he was convicted. He is preparing an appeal.
The reason I have decided to comment on this very sensitive issue is down to this article I saw today on the BBC website. Of course, the first thing I did was locate the Jean Hatchet blog mentioned in that article – it's here, if anyone wants a look.
What immediately struck me about the blog – and in all honesty, I just wanted to see a selection of Jean Hatchet's writings to find out what sort of things she wrote about – was that in spite of the BBC's label describing her as "a blogger" she has, at the time of writing, only actually published five articles. The first was produced in November last year – less than three months ago, which hardly makes Hatchet the fount of all blogging knowledge the BBC story implies. All five posts are essentially foul-mouthed rants, and all but one of them is specifically to do with Ched Evans, with the other one certainly being along related lines. Jean Hatchet's main claim to fame (other than being a self-proclaimed "radical feminist"), and the main reason the BBC sought her out (though being a self-proclaimed "radical feminist" was undoubtedly part of the equation), is that she is the one who started the online petition that is trying to force Oldham not to sign Evans. I have no doubt that she would start any number of additional petitions if any other football club showed an inclination to sign the player.
On her blog, Hatchet makes the following statement:
It is evident that Mr Evans, and men like him, do not understand the notion of consent.
This is the crux of Evans' conviction. The girl he is said to have raped was allegedly out of her skull on drink. She had already gone with one of Evans' friends – presumably while she was still capable of thinking and walking – and was having sex with him when Evans turned up and joined in. The friend was acquitted, but Evans wasn't. The girl says she couldn't remember any of what happened. The whole situation is far from being black or white, except in terms of the Law and Evans' subsequent conviction.
The issue with "consent" is far more complex than Hatchet seems capable of realising. You see, it is absolutely possible for a woman to consent to sex with a man, then to have regrets the following day and make allegations concerning non-consensual intercourse (possibly throwing in a few comments about being drunk). Intercourse may not even have taken place for such claims to be made, and the motive may well be financial gain or some sort of retribution, but it will immediately be labelled as "rape". The man's name will automatically be published in every newspaper in the land, whereas the woman will automatically be granted full anonymity. Even in cases where the woman is proved to be lying – and it happens quite often – her anonymity often remains in force, yet the man's life is in ruins. But what makes this even more frightening is that Hatchet (and, increasingly, the Law) actually seem to believe that that rape of some sort has still taken place… if not in actuality, very nearly so.
At this point I will say again: RAPE IS WRONG. If a man forces himself on a woman, he should rot in prison for a long time. But should that still be the case if there is any doubt at all over consent?
The girl involved in the Ched Evans case is no exception as far as official anonymity goes (she's even been given a new identity). However, it isn't difficult to find her name (it actually appears in Hatchet's blog in several of the comments). Assuming that what I have read has even a grain of truth in it, the woman in question appears to have a previous (failed) history for attempting to blackmail sportsmen. At the very least, she went willingly with Evans' friend and was not quite so comatose when the friend picked her up in the chip shop or wherever it was. Much is being made of the fact that she was possibly – not definitely – around two and a half times over the drink drive limit, but that doesn't automatically mean you are unconscious. It also appears that the girl in question tweeted that she was "going to win big" on the run up to the trial, and made various promises to friends about how she would spend the money on them. If you Google it you can dig all this up – including the tweets that the girl had apparently attempted to delete (and it is worrying that the new identity she has been given is perhaps partly an attempt to side-step this Twitter history without actually considering any of it). I'm not aware that any of this was brought up in court. Interestingly, Welsh police arrested 23 people for naming the victim, and to date nine have been convicted. The full case is described on Wikipedia, though you can see numerous side stories in the media.
None of this proves that the judgement against Evans was wrong, of course, but it does make you wonder. Well, maybe not those like Jean Hatchet, but certainly normal people. The girl who was apparently raped certainly didn't seem to have had her life damaged the way rape victims' lives usually are judging by her tweets, and that doesn't make any sense. The point is that this wasn't a case of a man kidnapping a woman in the street, dragging her into an alley, and forcibly raping her. It's much greyer, and as I say it all hinges on the issue of consent and the court's interpretation of that in this particular case. Evans' guilt appears to have been as marginal as his innocence would have been.
Irrespective of this very important background information, the big question to me is: should Ched Evans be allowed to have any sort of career?
There is one sensible argument that says he should wait for the outcome of his appeal before trying to play professional football again. However, no matter what the outcome of that appeal, Evans will be hounded by the feminists until the day he dies. You see, the big grey area of the Law that deals with the matter of consent has a bottomless chasm on one side (i.e. you're totally guilty). Unfortunately, on the other side there isn't the expected "totally innocent". Instead, there's another chasm almost as deep as the first which merely says "you're nearly guilty, but not quite". Feminists like Jean Hatchet make sure it stays like that with their foul-mouthed tirades.
At the present time, Evans is being prevented from working by people like Hatchet and the British Legal system. Even Ed Miliband has stuck his nose in – all I can say there is that Miliband is bloody lucky that my support of Labour goes deeper than him. Effectively, people would rather Evans die on the street than rebuild his life. Oh, I'm sure that people like Jean Hatchet would argue in favour of the rebuilding that his victim has got to do – and I'd agree… if only the unused evidence didn't suggest something more.
Don't get me wrong. I don't know Evans personally, though everything points to the usual problems of a young man acquiring fame and money, and having it go to his head. Even without the issue of rape coming into it, footballers getting involved in sexual activities that are bordering on the realms of pornography are not uncommon. But it takes two to tango, as the saying goes, and young females are increasingly drawn willingly into the same world.
Yesterday, Oldham had all but signed Evans in the full knowledge that some sponsors would pull out. Today, they have withdrawn the offer due to threats to staff and their families. They cite the sponsors, but the threats are the main reason. The people who made those threats are scum. The worst kind of scum. And the type of scum that is far lower down the evolutionary chain than Evans could ever be.
This is an old story from November 2012 which I've updated. As of September 2014, tests are conducted at Colwick, Beeston (near the train station), Clifton (on the Trent University campus), and Watnall (the old LGV testing station).
Note that Chalfont Drive stopped doing tests in 2012. Clarendon Street (the Trent University campus in the city centre) ceased conducting tests in late August 2014 a few weeks prior to Watnall commencing operations.
This article is now summarised from the original sequence of will-it-won't it relocations in 2012 and 2013.
The DVSA had to vacate the Chalfont Drive location as the lease had run out (the entire site, which housed many government offices, is now deserted). They seemed to have left it a little late to start looking for a new location, and for a short time tests moved to Watnall and the DVLA local offices (which have now also closed).
DVSA announced that a new centre would open on the Beeston Business Park in the Rylands before the contract had been finalised. As a result, the whole deal almost fell through when the area was inundated with idiot ADIs conducting their lessons in the Rylands (in actual fact, no test routes cover the Rylands, and there is a notice up in the test centre waiting room informing instructors of this fact as a result of complaints by residents).
Anyway, to cut a long and very confusing story short, the Beeston Test Centre began operating in June 2013. And after the closure of the Clarendon Street trial, tests have once again started being conducted out of Watnall.
This story from ITV News reports that in Birmingham it is routine for drivers with 12 points or more on their licences not to be banned. Examples include:
- 77-year old has at least 12 points for speeding
- 63-year old has 12 points for using mobile phone, speeding, and shooting red lights
- 56-year old has 12 points for drink-driving and having no insurance
- 19-year old has 15 points for speeding and failing to identify the driver
- Of the 20 youngest to have 12 points or more, only two have been banned
All those in the legal system associated with not banning these people are complete arseholes, intent on sending this country into the sewer (and it doesn't really need much help with that as it is).
These miscreants should be named. Come to think of it, so should the morons who didn't ban them.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Ram0 Value for money for Business Travellers
A great concept that gives excellent value for money for the bueinss traveller. A few events in the calender makes it enjoyable during some evenings and weekends.
With a bit of improvement on the facilities / building matainence (some construction issues needs to be resolved) and service in the restaurants (F&B staff attifudes could be better) they could become the best business hotel in town.

Rated 5 out of 5 by varusam Room was sad, bed was brilliant. HSK + Engg was Okay. FNB all over was blissful and a treat.
The best Sushi I have ever eaten. Met with the Chef (Royal) I wish you could deliver to where we stay in Dubai. Was amazing.
Amit at the pool bar was brilliant and Simson on the 12th floor was great too.
Visiting your FnB outlets seeing your staff smile and enjoying what they do just made everything perfect.
We dint care about our room and check in experience anymore.
Manager Rochelle was good too.
Thank You for a lovely stay.

Rated 4 out of 5 by officemanager Super Breakfasts , Excellent service
We stayed at Aloft Abu Dhabi while exhibiting at ADNEC. It was the ideal position as it adjoins the Exhibition Centre and it was easy to go back to our room whenever needed.
Every staff member we dealt with was extremely friendly and helpful.
There was a huge selection of tasty dishes to choose from at the buffet breakfast.
I did find the snacks at the re-charge a bit pricey, but that would be my only negative on this trip.
If you dont drive there a taxi is easily hailed from the porters downstairs. and they are reasonably priced.

Rated 4 out of 5 by PistolPete Lovely hotel but staff was really poor
Good design however the phone in the room didn't work throughout my entire stay.
Service was bad. At breakfast, the staff was busy socialising between themselves and kept ignoring the customers. Also they were noisy in their conversations. Floor was dirty, a guest dropped some food, and the staff just left it there. Was not offered anything to drink. Asked if a food item I wanted contained sugar but got no answer and it turned out it was full of sugar.
Worst was when I ordered sea food platter. The mussels shells were all broken with end result that lots of tiny pieces were mixed with the actual food. When I mentioned it to the staff, I got a dismissive response. I did not eat it but ended up paying for it.
March 10, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Bale1 No wake-up call
Although the room was top notch, construction on the facilities marred my overall view of them. Also a non-existent wake-up call almost caused me to miss my flight. Had I not woken up and checked the time, and had my flight not been delayed by 30 mins I would have missed it.
For the room (and facilities without construction) I would highly recommend this hotel however the staff never seemed to be rushing to serve a customer, at one instance I was ignored by a receptionist not to mention me not receiving my wake-up call, a small issue but one that could have cost a lot.

Rated 3 out of 5 by AlWashaq Why?
Parking issue at the hotel (you have to deliver your lugguage at main entrance the check in to get a parkin access card to multi storey car park , go down again to get the car an enter multi storey parking , and this time security sent me to a higher level with no reason provided the hotel designated parking is free, so it took me 45 min to check in after i handed my lugguage )
Room not clean when checking in (coffee spilled on carpet) house keeping not effective (cleaning cloth left at room, dining tray not removed , number of towels after cleaning not as before

Rated 5 out of 5 by David21 Business trip to Abu Dhabi
I found Alot to be a relaxing friendly environment. It is not opulent, but rather stylish which was far more suited to my tastes and aided in recovering following a long days work.
On arrival I was greeted quickly and in a friendly manner. The hotel was described to me and my keys were handed over swiftly.
The room was spacious and clean with a good decor.
I ate at the buffet each evening during my three night stay and the selection was varied to suit all tastes and the hot meals changed each day. Was great value.
I particularly enjoyed watching the sun go down from the 12th floor bar where the music was good, but not loud to stop conversation, and the staff were terriffic.
I will stay at the Aloft Abu Dhabi again in future.

All staff very helpful - desk particularly Rochelle and Sam. Guys who park the cars have tough job as not much space but unfailingly helpful and polite. Nice sizeable room - quiet and good air con - very restful when necessary - will stay here again.
September 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Moe2000 Hotel is mixed review
The Aloft is a conveniently located in Abu Dhabi. It offers decent comfort in its room and cheerful service.
Unfortunately, they could a better job in the following:
- more comfortable pillows (e.g. Larger more supportive than the tiny kid pillows currently in the room)
- more prompt laundry service, quite slow in responding and take longer than 24 hours
- Parking access is a nightmare, the newly installed parking gates don't work and lock you in
- Food buffet is very repetitive, frequent guests will get sick of the same food.

I would like to record here excellent improvement on service from call center convert messages in professional way also front desk girl did the check in & another girl on the check out was so helpful with outstanding smile on their faces.
I believe there's new leader blood join the company recently to have all changes as this time is the best services visit for me.
Hope after that comment It will continue good service and exceed more.
Note... My special thanks to Mr. Zayed in reservation (awesome).

Rated 5 out of 5 by cipoza3 Absolutely fantastic stay!
Everyone is so casual it feels you come home the moment you walk in. From the front desk that probably beat a World Guinness Record by checking me in a heartbeat to the room service who were very polite and deliver great service. When you have a late party though, more consistent food would be better than the ready sandwiches. I got really hungry and I wanted at least a club sandwich…
Overall I loved the stay and I will most definitely come back for more hospitality excellence!
Thank you Aloft team!

Everything about this hotel is great, the staff are so attentive and the hotel is vibrant and exciting! Can't recommended it enough!
The Hotel is really interesting and the rooms are great size and stylish, nice gym, beautiful pool and staff who go the extra mile! one of the best I've stayed in globally! well worth the money!
The Duty manager R was one of the most attentive people I've ever met, a she is real credit to the SPG group.
Thanks R, I really appreciated the extra effort.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Moe83 Smoking room
I requested a non smoking room but I was placed in a room that seemed to be a smoking room. I was too tired to request change of rooms and ended up not enjoying my stay. I'm a frequent visitor to Aloft and this is the first time I face this.
Also better coffee machines should be installed in all rooms. Instant coffee is not sufficient in such business friendly hotels.
September 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by McGuire Great staff, clean, modern hotel.
This was my first stay with Aloft, and it was a very pleasant one. The check in was efficient and very friendly. I was upgraded to a suite. They treat their Platinium guests well!
They have a nice looking bar, although I didn't use it. Very nice gesture of a drink on the house coupon for Plats, along with a warm drink coupon that can be used downstairs.
Can't go wrong for service and the great rates. Checkout was quick, simple and just super friendly.
Will definately return when in town.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Misha99 OK Hotel
We had a quick visit to Abu Dhabi which unfortuantely coincided with the F1 which meant hotels near the business we were visiting were all sold out, with Aloft the only one available. The hotel was OK, although the floor I was on smelled of cigarette smoke (my room was fine). Bars were satisfactory, as was the breakfast areas. On checkout we had arranged an airport drop off with the hotel which failed to materialise so we took cabs instead.
Next time we will stay in another hotel.
November 7, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ouafi Great staff!
The staff here go out of their way to make all guests feel welcome. Catering to a younger, more hip clientele, I personally experienced excessive rowdiness from other guests in the middle of the night yelling through the hallways though realize the staff can't do much about that in the moment. Great place to stay if you're attending something at the Nat'l Exhibition Centre but a bit out of the way from many much of the city. Plan a cab to local attractions.

Rated 4 out of 5 by John This hotel is cool!!!
I just need to check if your hotel staff are allowed to use the gym? If yes, not a problem, its good to know that the hotel support their staff to stay fit and healthy. But, keep them not to be too loud in the gym as for me there should be a little respect for other gym users (better talk a language which gives respect). Is there an attendant should be around to keep guest feel safe at all? Keep that great ambience! I like most the bar on the top, awesome view.

Must say that I was totally impressed with the excellent reception and check-in I experienced at your hotel. Rochelle spent a great deal of time helping me with some issues I had with my reservation and not being able to deal directly with my travel agent who had made my reservation. Rochelle's patience, determination to get things correct and extremely positive attitude so impressed me that I will definitely be back! AWESOME service .... way beyond the norm!

- Valet guy sent me back for the stamp even I had show him my room key.
- My clothes were missing by mistake of the concierge guy. It was sent to the other room.

This is not our first stay at ALOFT.
As expected the staff is the the master piece of the Hotel. They satisfied all our requests with a big smile and this is not new to this hotel that we elected as ours whenever we visit UAE.
We felt however that the cleaning staff was not as professional as our first time but whenever we requested our room to be redone, they do immediately.
I appreciate this professionalism.

Rated 3 out of 5 by JEF273 Good business hotel
I have stayed several times at this hotel, I like the atmosphere and the room. nice views.
Yet I am a Gold Member, this time I was not recognised as an SPG Gold Member, I was giver the purple card "Preferred SPG Member" and was not offered the "complementary drink, internet, or points", reception employee did not ware a name tag, so I can't refer back to him
This hotel will be GRATE if there is a SPA in it

The nicest Sushi I've eaten in the last 3 years. Absolutely fantastic. Chef Royal is a rockstar. Amit at the pool bar is really good as well.
It does take time to grab the attendants attention but when they have your attention they do a fantastic job of ensuring you are well taken care of.
House keeping did a fantastic job as well.
Amazing atmosphere at the pool and bars.

Kimmel's SXSW Austin tapings feature iconic business signs
- Chad Swiatecki
- Staff Writer- Austin Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
Adam Garber, owner of Rounders Pizza on West Sixth Street, said the business' neon sign has been a conversation piece ever since it was commissioned 11 years ago. Garber said he'd like to take Rounders' association with Kimmel's show even further so he can capitalize on the placement.
"It's good to get your name out there in a place like that, but what I'd really like to do is get them some of our pizzas so the word gets out more than just our sign," he said. "You're never really sure how your business is going to get out there."
Mark Dean, owner of the Austin Motel, said the signs used by the show highlight the creative small-business character of the South Congress shopping district.
"It's great visibility for the whole neighborhood and we're proud of it since we've been here for 75 years as a family-owned business," he said. "It shows us off well and even though our sign is creaky and needs a lot of maintenance we love it and with zoning laws now you could never put something of that size up in that neighborhood."
Chad Swiatecki covers Austin's creative industries, health care and education.

Texas Death Row Prisoner Faces Execution Tonight for Murder He Didn't Commit
A thirty-five-year-old man on death row in Texas faces execution tonight for a murder he didn't commit. Jeff Wood is scheduled to die by lethal injection at 6:00 p.m., unless Governor Rick Perry grants him clemency. Wood was an accomplice in a 1996 convenience store robbery.

DN! In Depth
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
On March 21, 1915, a motion picture was screened for the first time inside the White House. President Woodrow Wilson sat down to watch D.W. Griffith's "The Birth of a Nation," considered one of the most nakedly racist of all time. One hundred years later, another film was screened at the White House, this time at the invitation of the first African-American president. The film was "Selma."

One Direction Release 'Four' Tracklist [PHOTO]
What do 'Spaces,' 'Clouds' and the number '18' all have in common? They're all tracks on the upcoming One Direction album 'Four.'
What do 'Spaces,' 'Clouds' and the number '18' all have in common? They're all tracks on the upcoming One Direction album 'Four.'
One Direction posted a short teaser for their upcoming music video for current single 'Steal My Girl' and while it's super short, we're totally loving the Zayn-centric clip.
Directioners, can't wait for One Direction's 'Steal My Girl' vid? Well, neither can we -- especially after what director Ben Winston just teased.
Directioners and Sheerios, Simon Cowell has just revealed so many details about the song that Ed Sheeran wrote for One Direction.
Even One Direction get starstruck! Considering we know just what it's like to fangirl (it is our job, after all) we're even more obsessed with the band's best celeb encounters.
Directioners, get ready to swoon. Because Harry Styles just straight-up revealed that his favorite thing about going on tour is having fun with the fans in concert.
Earlier this month, photos of Niall Horan hanging with Chris Brown surfaced and One Direction are reportedly not happy.
'The Daily Show' offended millions of Directioners when they joked about One Direction being a part of a terrorist group.
One Direction's autobiography, 'Who We Are,' is finally here! If you can bear to tear your eyes away from binge-reading, we have even more exciting news about the book.
It's that time of year again — One Direction are about to release their next studio album, 'Four.' Check out our list of clues, quotes and rumors, culminating in everything we know about the album thus far.
The upcoming One Direction official autobiography just keeps revealing more and more secrets!
It's hard to imagine One Direction without any of the five guys, but Louis Tomlinson has come clean about initially having his doubts about joining the band.

Eastenders actress slams Nigeria's anti-gay law as 'absurd'
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Yes, Eastenders is certainly doing something brilliant with this character.. Within a few weeks of being in the show she slept with Billy Mitchell on NYE! Her nephew kissed another man literally within a couple of episodes of first appearing on it, but the gay woman has only been seen kissing a man and shown leaving his house the morning after! I dont know what it is about EastEnders. They seem to be able to write decent gay men, but when it comes to gay women they are abysmal! Just to fit in all the other tv clichés, she'll murder someone, have a mental breakdown and marry Billy by Christmas..
Thanks Ms Bradshaw-White and all best with rest of the career. Still nostalgic for the days of This Life when I was a teenager and her gay on-screen cousin Warren was a pretty groundbreaking character.

Sony vice president faces jail after stealing £1million and 'gambling it away'
A vice president at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe faces jail after admitting stealing nearly £1m from the firm.
Himal Patel, 39, won his job at the company even though he had a conviction for conning his previous employers British Telecom out of £100,000.
The department manager submitted false invoices claiming payment in the names of other companies but pocketed the cash himself.
Patel is thought to have spent the stolen money on his gambling addiction.
He appeared at the Old Bailey to plead guilty to three counts of fraud by abuse of position between March 2009 and April 2012.
Judge Paul Worsley QC granted Patel conditional bail until sentencing in March.
Patel, of Finchley, had been convicted of false accounting in 2006.
