Guest Reviews

• Pasil (2/5): - Apartment had cockroaches, building and apartment has strong smell of spices. Parking is advertised as available but is actually for an additional daily fee. Anyhow what really was a no no for me is the cockroaches, which is what made the stay terrible, as a hotel that should be controlled, unless they have a cleanliness issue.
• Naif (2/5): - It’s really unclean, dirty and you will see bugs on the floor and bathroom
• Gorge (4/5): - You have to ask to clean your apartment every day, delay of service. Poor breakfast, price expensive.
• Vincent (8/5): - Need to improve on cooking utensils
• Ramses (10/5): -
• May Ann (8/5): Good Place - Its good place to stay with friends
• Katie (4/5): Extremely rude reception staff - The entrance is in the car park and had a strong sewage smell. Once in the hotel is was better and clean enough. However, my wife made this booking in my name with her credit card as security. The reception staff cancelled my booking as it was not my card, although payment was supposed to be taken at the hotel usu g my card with me present My wife called from UK and spoke to them they agreed to accept my card as the booking was in my name. However the next morning the new reception staff said my booking was cancelled and i had to pay new rate as they had no note saying existing rate would be honoured. They actually said pay it or leave! Clearly they just wanted a booking made directly cutting out agents and charging more for the same! I would not stay there ever again after such a huge issue being made that could have and actually was resolved
• Anshul (2/5): Pathetic experience with abysmal service levels - The front desk does not even understand the meaning of the word Customer Service. This hotel is not fit to be listed on any E-commerce website. Nasty fights with customers over trivial issues are common. It's best to avoid this hotel if you are looking for a comfortable stay in Dubai.
• Bilal (8/5): - I was conveniently located near everything. Great size of rooms we rented 2 bedroom apartment and it was great. Hotel need extrema cleaning in the bathroom they have mold and out dated. Water press of the shower's are so low that it will take you a while to take shower.
• Chandan (6/5): - Network very bad
• saad (8/5): Decent price - Very good
• Mohammed (10/5): - Very good
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice and clean. But only the corridor has smell old carpet Employees don’t smile.
• Edgar (4/5): No longer a nice place to stay - This is no longer the Al Manar Hotel that I used to book rooms for stay years ago. I checked in on the 23rd of November for an 9 nights stay. I called room service three times and after 1 hour my requested item was delivered. Room service is very slow. Cooking range cannot be used and washing machine is defective. Very poor maintenance. Room service is not prompt. No longer a nice hotel to stay. This used to be a good hotel years ago.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Location and convenience. Close to the airport and commercial area.
• Altahir (10/5): - I am very comfortable specially the staff here its very nice and mr.saleem the receptionists he is always helping the customer and he knowingly his work .
• Nancy (8/5): A very pleasant stay. - Had a 3 day stay while exploring Dubai. Apartment had everything we needed for self-catering. Nice to have free underground parking. Fast internet. Very friendly staff. Easy to get to areas of Dubai and lots of grocery stores etc within walking distance.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Hotel didnt provide a free water botel everyday. They provide it free on first day only.
• Abby (8/5): - My parents are staying in this property and they have nothing to say but praise. Staff have been very family and helpful because my parents are their medical treatment for my father. They love the rooms, mother love the kitchen area and the rmtiry structure of the hotel.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Very nice girl at desk. They upgraded me to,an apartment. Nice local neighborhood with shopping.
• Glenda (6/5): Ok - Arrived early & had to wait 2 hours for room & got upgraded to two bedroom but it was of no benefit to us. Huge area with kitchen but it did not have pots etc. did not need lounge area. The pool area ok but did not use. Close to airport was only reason we stayed here. Nice local restaurants in the area.
• Paul (4/5): Poor customer care - You get what you pay for....Rooms are spacious but poorly equipped - had to ask for towels, bath/shower mats, fixing of the A/C (although these were fixed eventually), and then on check out charged for broken glasses which we were not responsible for we presume caused by the cleaner. Some items (eye medicine in fridge), airplane headrest, USB drive items were accidentally left in the room from visit previous just 5 days earlier - hotel staff claim there was nothing left behind, so could not return any of them. Very poor show.
• Yakob (8/5): Nice hotel for transport - The hotel is too quiet and it is nice to have sleep without disturb. The staff are nice and welcoming. The hotel is very good for transport. I might book it for the next holiday.
• Raghunandan (8/5): Comfortable stay for nearly two weeks. - It was an amazing experience for me. The service is discreet but at the same time prompt. They are very helpful and the apartments are big and clean. Only they have to install new refrigerators as sometimes the milk was spoilt . I stayed there for 12 nights and had comfortable stay.
• adam (2/5): - One of the worst place I ever stays in the wifi was not working all the two bathrooms was very dirty shower both not working properly.
• Arik (6/5): Average - WIFI - Disconnected for a day; other than that, it worked well. Room - Spacious (pick the studio option that comes with kitchen). There's some weird smell in the room but you get used to it. Hallways - Have a weird smell Staff - Helpful but they don't go the extra mile. Distance to Metro - 10-15 minute walk A/C - Strong and Good
• TARIQ (10/5): Clean and nocee - Veryy good i was happy
• adelino (6/5): clean and large room , good wifi - Room was clean and large, has a decent exercise room as well
• masoud (8/5): nice , clean hotel - it was a good hotel located in calm area , no dancing noise . close to metro station . it is excellent for any guys or family just for relaxation , shopping and business proposes .
• s (8/5): Good hotel/apartment. Very close to rail/train. - Located in Old Dubai..a very nice area to get the feel of how the native ppl live. Authentic places to eat were plentiful and very reasonable prices. Many supermarkets around to cook home meals in room. A lot of glitches in the room, stove, microwave. Staff on floor of room very quick to help..staff at front desk somewhat helpful. Everyday my husband requested the cleaning staff to supply us with 2 hand towels...they never would. Make sure to request toilet tissue.. No view from room window at all. Felt very, very safe in area.
• SABIRALI (10/5): Just Awesome - Wonderful Experience ! - It's been wonderful 13 days with Al-Manar. Originally Booked was Studio but provided Double Room without any extra charge. Wow ! Free Unlimited Internet with High Speed. Excellent furnishing Inside. Such a lovely Amenities. I would greatly impressed with their Staff - Especially Mr Santosh - Kerala (India) And Mr Mohammad Saleem - Kenya. Many Many Thanks Guys - It's highly appreciated ! They are the Best Receptionist ever I had experience.
• Burhan (8/5): - Stay was very peaceful and comfortable Bt all my concern was about cockroaches in the bathroom.
• Mohammad (8/5): - Good hotel with friendly staff. I reserved a studio at this hotel but when I arrived they offered me a two bed room with the same price. I had a nice time there.
• Mahmood (6/5): nice place BUT... - Nice hotel and neighborhood, but I hate thar the internet is chargeable hourly and yet Hotrls.com doesn't say that. So you pay and go there and be surprised that you have to pay 10 ADH per hour.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Cheap and cheerful! - The front desk staff were amazing and tried their hardest to fulfil any request made to them. Housekeeping polite and also helpful. I have previously stayed in self catering apartments elsewhere in the UAE and had problems with electrical safety and kitchen equipment supplied but no issues here. Rooms were cleaned out daily to a good standard. I can't comment on in house catering as I was self catering throughout my stay.
• mao (6/5): Not bad for one night - In a strange place not the best neighborhood old smells bad For one night ok good size apartment
• Tim (6/5): Nice but overpriced compared to other Hotel Apartm - In general, a ok Hotel apartments but little overpriced compared to other hotel apartments on same level in Dubai. For me it is a mystery how the hotel have got the status "Luxus Hotel Apartments" There is many "Standard Hotel Apartments" in Dubai with much more luxus and much better service. For a guest it's matter, because have to pay 20 Dirhams instead of 10 Dirhams extra per night in Tourist fee. There are not free WiFi and this cost about 20$ extra per day (75 Dirhams) - very expensive. I decide use mobile internet (200 Dirhams for 10 GB/one month) it is fast and I used my mobile as Hotspot so I had excellent connection much cheaper. The rooms are in ok condition, there are what you need and clean. There are many shops, Supermarkets and restaurants around and Metro nearby. Airport just 10 min away. I had to stay in this area, and stay in the hotel 8 days. After I decide move to another Hotel Apartment nearby with more space, better condition, same price and free bottle water, coffee/tea, WiFi and Standard Status !!
• Veronika (10/5): Satisfied with our 1 night stay... - We only stayed one night as a stop over. Hotel staff was very kind, friendly and helpful. Room was nice and clean. No view but we didnt care for 1 night. We were happy to stay in Almanar, even with my 7months old baby.
• Alan B. (6/5): Lovely experience with maintenance concerns - The hotel was well cleaned and staff was very hospitable. Upon entry to the room, the temperature was too cold for comfort causing the need to shut off the Air Conditioning altogether. Turned on the hot water heater, went to the Business Center to use the computer for an hour of pleasant experience, went to the restaraunt for a wonderful dinner experience that took about an hour, and returned to the room. In attempt to bathe, the water was still cold so upon draining the water from the tub, the water spewed up from the floor drain. After calling service desk, I was informed that maintenance was on th e way but after waiting three hours, I went to sleep and the maintenance crew never showed. Left a critique with the check out desk upon departure. It was a pleasant experience in a very nice-looking hotel, but it must address the maintenance issues. I saw other patrons complain and leave early that same evening.
• Awari (6/5): The Apartment is ok for the price 60usd - The Major points for the hotel apartment are 1. closeness to the airport. 2. Nicely Furnished 3. Has a gym and pool 4. Close to a number of supermart 5. Has a fitted kitchen The Point Against this Hotel 1. You pay extra charges for WIFI or internet use 2. The internet was not available in my room and l had to go to the lobby. This was not okay for me. I was told they were trying to carry out some repair work. 3. The Shower cotton was too close to the people, quite disturbing.
• Verified traveler (6/5): For one or two nights ok. - Not many positives. Price ok. Metro nearby. Staff nice. Internet not for free but with 10 Dirham per hour comparatively cheap. Had stayed there before but found it slightly less comfortable than in the past. The best element is a very, very nice little restaurant when you leave the hotel on the right hand side approximately 10 metres away. The food was amazing.
• Shiv (8/5): Nice hotel apt - close to the airport! - We had a good stay at this hotel. Very clean and comfortable. Nice breakfast buffet! The staff were very helpful too!
• David (8/5): We stayed for a week and were quite happy. - There are some really nice and helpful staff at this hotel who were courteous and made our first stay in Dubai easier. Our airport arrival time was after midnight but with a special request I made a week before arriving the hotel arranged a late check-in and transfer which is exactly what a weary travelling family needs. The hotel room was spacious and clean and having a kitchen meant we could cook when and what we liked. Our air-conditioned rooms were serviced daily and when there were minor details overlooked such as a missing towel which was quickly resolved when I spoke to the front desk.The staff also gave us help when we needed information in general and helped us with the transfer to the airport on the flight out.
• Sherry (6/5): Don't accept to much from this hotel.... - Entrance of the hotel apartment is not what we expected. We had to pay for WIFI, front desk staff were not that friendly. Bathrooms were not to it standard
• Tom (6/5): It was OK - Generally, I was pleased with the service received. The exceptions are (a) the remote control for the lights (necessary for turning lights off and on) was not supplied initially and I needed to press for it; and (b) a requested early morning wake-up call, although promised, was not delivered.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Comfy Beds - Pleasant Stay, Very co operative staff, always welcome with a smile, but only the night duty reception staff looked tense, perhaps overstretched, will like to stay again and recommend.
• yan (8/5): - very nice and large room high standing, some efforts could be done about the bathroom, pity that the location was not good, nothing to see around the hotel, nice bakery and supermarket just beside.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent - R u from Canada? Guaranteed you will LOVE it!!!!!
• Max (4/5): Bad location - First and fore most this hotel is definitely no 4 star. Very shabby to Dubai standards. Its in quite away from the Jumearh area, we spent a lot of time there so it was a trek most days to get to and from the hotel. Pros Big room Near to the Airport Near to Diera Also walking distance to the Metro, but if you are a tourist then I suggest you do not use the Metro as at peak times it is packed. A very good service but just too busy. Neg The pool is small and not very clean The facilities are out dated Budget hotel The staff are very helpful but don’t really resolve any of your problems. Over all I would not recommend it to anyone.
• Sam (10/5): Good hotel to stay - I liked it because they had kitchen and washing machine. Cooking pots and pan and all other things. Very clean and good service. Good people. I will choose them again.
• Assem (8/5): Dubai for 2 days - I have only stayed for a night in this hotel and it really exceeded my expectations clean and massive big room with a kitchen. I haven't tried other services in the hotel but it was clean and quite and that's exactly what I was searching for.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Nice room, poor location - Very expensive wifi at $7 per hour. Poor location with no facilities nearby. The room was okay though. The shower went cold in the morning twice. Ok if you are looking for an apartment though.
• ASm Zunaid (10/5): close to all must-see sights - It was good that they have refrigerator, Oven, Cook top, Laudry washer machine. cooking pots and pan. Great place to stay.
• Lilyana (6/5): Good apartment, otherwise terrible - Apartment was well maintained & clean. However hotel staff, esp reception was especially unhelpful & at times rude. I have wot essed rudeness to other hotel guests. Hotel was difficult to find, a few taxis didnt know where the hotel was. Once we spent 30 mins trying to find the hotel. Tv reception was poor, we could barely see what was on tv. Amenity was only the bare minimum. We had to call room service to have them provide towels for us.
• Azordegan (4/5): - Reception at night time was not good.
• RK (10/5): RK - Best visit ever. Thanks to Almanar Hotel Apartments.
• Mrs. (6/5): stategically located for sights and departure - I arrived a bit late due to snow. Was a bit disappointed when the receptionist kept attending to other people coming in to make bookings and ignoring me who already had a booking, had only a few hours to my flight yet I had called to let him know I would be late. It would also be nice to have some one assist to carry luggage to the rooms let alone direct to the rooms for especially the female clients.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent value, big room - Excellent value for money, huge clean room. Would recommend to anyone
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Expensive Internet - not even available in rooms. Several lamps could not be turned on. But Hotel was clean and comfortable, staff was friendly and dining was cheap.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Good - Very nice Hotel
• Verified traveler (2/5): Not a nice place to stay - If you have a choice between sleeping on the floor of the Dubai airport, and staying in this hotel, stay in this hotel. Otherwise, skip it. There was no hot water in my bathroom, the towels were the size of hankerchiefs, the desk clerk would not connect me with an AT&T operator, the hallway reeked of cigarette smoke, and someone tried to get into my room at 6 A.M. The Metro was within walking distance, though, one positive note.
• Khan (2/5): No towels! Doors didn't lock (keyless broke) - Was not satisfied, called hotels.com and asked to cancel second night, but hotel didn't agree, claiming they were working on the electronic key system and it should work in the morning..also claimed towels were coming in the mornin
• Verified traveler (8/5): Decent hotel for the budget traveller - The entrance dosnt give a good impression as you enter via a dark side street. Lobby and overall ground floor is dated and a bit tatty. I was upgraded to a two bedroom suite which was nice. Comfortable and spacious although several large cracks in the walls which wouldnt take much to repair. Cleanliness was good although rugs and sofas need a shampoo. Bed was very comfortable and had a great nights sleep. Was there just one night so dindt try their FB - was going to take breakfast but buffet was very dissapointing. Cheap at Dhs 35 but would have rather paid more and seen a better spread. Best thing was the staff - friendly and efficient. Housekeeping promptly brought an ashtray on request and smiled and greeted me whenever I met them in the corridoor. Michelle on Reception was great. Lovely warm welcome upon arrival from her. Even though she was alone most of the time and had to handle phone and guests at desk she did so with professionalism and warmth - a real asset to the Hotel.
• Tim (2/5): Be warned - I just wish i had taken photo's to prove what a dreadful place this was, very hard to find in one of the worse areas of Dubai. The smelt and looked like it had been used as a brothel. chairs had stains everywhere. I was meant to be there for 3 nights but checked out the first morning, even locals would not recommend this hotel. Be warned.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Good for Business men - They need to work more on cleaning, the staff is good, the sitting sofas need changing, however, they do follow up on the daily room cleaning, the beds are clean, only the sitting (tv) room need more cleaning. toilets are clean, kitchen is also clean.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Enjoy - Very friendly staff and very alert of the needs I had there. I cannot remember the young ladies name at the desk I know she is originally from the Philippines. She is a credit to that Hotel. My stay was very good Just too short.
• Verified traveler (4/5): My Stay at Almanar - The Hotel is OK for the money you pay but you can see it is not well cleaned.I'd advice the management to change their Laundry Service providers because if your guest have good nose, he/she will definately not like it.
• Verified traveler (8/5): hi - Its very noisy and far from beach. .................... However rooms are big and modern staff are decent
• Verified traveler (4/5): Nothing as Stated - First of all. The room was very nice. But overall I was very disappointed in the room I stayed in because of several factors: The first is the location. The enterance is under a parking garage. 2. I had a cold shower. 3. There was a tea pot, but no coffee, tea or other condiments in the room. When I called and asked, room service only offered to bring a cup of coffee. 4. The hair dryer only blew cold air. 5. There was no wireless internet in the room like it says. 6. There was no robe or scales (which is no big deal) in the room like it says. 7. Yes it had a balcony, but my view was a dark building with no view what-so-ever. 8. Lastly, smoking room was an option to click when getting room, and I was informed there are no smoking rooms, so u can just smoke in the room! I smoked on the balcony.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Very friendly and helpful staff! except the maintenance person. Room, linen, towels clean. Smelled of cigarette smoke, though. Half the lights in bedroom did not work. Hair dryer (European?) did not match sockets. Washer leaked. Close to metro, close to city center.
• Michiel (4/5): Very helpfull staff. Close to airport - Very helpfull staff. Close to airport. Range of plates, glasses etc available in rooms well below par.
• Verified traveler (6/5): just ok - not a 4 * its just 3*
• Seth (10/5): Nice economical hotel - This hotel is not easy to find and is in a bit of a wack neighborhood. However, it is very close the airport and that is very convienient. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but one inside this is a pretty nice place. The room has a lot of amenities and the multi room suites are top notch. Heck of a kitchen!
• Masoud (6/5): Good Hotel, but still requires improvements - The Pros, 1- Cleanliness. 2- Modern Furniture 3- Good Air Conditioning 4- Near Restaurants and other interesting shops. 5-Quite The Cons: 1- Staff was helpful, but need a lot more training. 2- Non- smoking rooms are not really non-smoking, they have no way of enforcing the non-smoking rule, therefore, in essence all of their rooms are smoking rooms. 3- Their room key system simply dose not work, they really need to install a new one.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Almanar Dubai - the hotel was nice the bathroom showers were a bit small for me but I'm 6'4" so to be expected a lot of times other wise the room was nice and clean not the greatest stocked kitchen but still had everything you needed for the stay for me and my fiance bed was little hard for my taste but good bedding. All and all not a bad stay for the two weeks we were there.
