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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 !!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
