Very Bad Hotel
This is not a good place to be at all. They called me to know when I will be checking out a day before my check out time, and I told them it’s 12pm. They started calling me at 10:30am just because of checkout, I was so pissed that I refused to pick their calls, and they kept on calling continuously. Worst experience of my life

This property is in need of renovation. There are loose sockets in the walls and damp inside the kitchen units. The bathroom looks tired and very 70's 80's era. The first time we ran the water in the taps it was yellow although this was fixed straight away, I personally washed my face with bottled water after that. The staff were friendly and punctual and I suppose that's what keeps the hotel a 3-4 star. You will not be given tea/coffee nor bottled water but 1 bottle on the first day. Its close to the metro about 7 minute walk and has many local shops around. However minimum time was spent in the hotel as we went around Dubai:) We would not book this property again as we believe there are safety issues, the cooker kept turning off and on as it pleased when the switch was turned on. We traveled from the UK.

Close to food and tube
Booked room with washing machine so I was upgraded to a one bedroom which was very spacious. There were building work taking place st the hotel during daytime and there was no notice given to customers either on the website or throughout the hotel, this meant it was difficult to sleep during the day. Staff at the hotel decided to try and enter my room while I was sleeping although a do not disturb sign was posted, their reason was they wanted to check in ok because I was not in the room over a weekend.

Terrible Hotel, smells bad
Less staff, bed is saggy, bed mattress needs replacement, non smoking room but it smells cigarette. Shower knob is missing and i have to get out of the shower to call them to fix it. There are molds on the shower tiles as well. The worst thing is, it took them more than an hour to bring our luggages to our room despite my several calls. Also when we check out, it also took them long to take our luggages down. Staff not so nice. Not a single smile. I will not recommend this hotel.

GREAT VALUE AND OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE
Let's deal with the "negative" first - this is not the most modern or recently refurbished hotel in Dubai. In all other respects our experience at the Almanar was EXCEPTIONAL - not a word I use lightly. The apartment we had was exceptionally large, very well maintained, had a huge and very comfortable bed with new linen - and a kitchenette which gave us great flexibility in our eating arrangements Sheetal , the Front Office Manager, supervises a highly effective operation with very helpful staff who responded very quickly and effectively to the two minor requests we made. The apartments are very well located close to the metro. We ate on the 17th floor of a neighbouring very expensive hotel - the Park Regis Kris Kin. The view at night was absolutely stunning and the buffet was superb. The combination of apartment and restaurant represent unrivalled quality and value. Unless you want to pay very substantially more for one of the new high rise hotels, you will find it very difficult to match the Almanar Grand.

OK hotel close to metro.
The hotel and apartment was clean. Not cleaned properly when we were not observing. Washing machine had to be replaced. Had to move rooms as it had stale smoke ingrained in the curtains and furniture. Could not find my vari focal glasses when I was leaving. Did not rde taxi on time a requested and was late for airport. Staff polite and friendly however not very professional. Will not return.

Had to remember to switch on the water heater for hot water, which was inconvenient. The TV remote had to be replaced and cable selections were poor. On the plus side, the room was spacious, with a functional kitchen and utensils etc.

great hotel. improvements needed to enhance exprnc
Good hotel. Only problem is pool and gym are not open early morning or late evening. Fire alarm went off more than five time around 3 am during our two weeks stay due to other guests smoking in the room at night. The hotel needs to fine such guests. The one room we had was well kept but shared a locked door with the next room so noice from there came through and was disturbing when tv was loud or guests were talking at night.

Convenient location if you are in Karama for work
Stayed here for three nights during my training at work, choose this hotel as it was close to the office and had pool and gym, however I didn't get to use pool and gym as these close at 8pm - very strange for the hotel. Breakfast wasn't good in my opinion so I only had it at the hotel the first day and then bought food in nearby Spinneys and used kitchen in the room. Overall very average stay nothing too exciting or very disappointing.

Try Al Manar: a nice place to stay in Dubai
It was a very great experience staying in al manar. The room was huge and super nice. Near to metro and market and malls and in the airport. It was a nice place for comfort and relaxation. I really love it. well, me and my husband love the place. You can cook food according to what you want to eat. It was a plus factor because they provided you with everything. It was really a value for money. We just had a problem turning on the other lamp shades but it just need additional plug, but its fine because the over all lighting was enough. I hope they will add more channels in the cable tv though. Try it,its very nice place.

Fantastic all rounder, minus the bathroom!
Brilliant clean, organised and well situated hotel. Very reasonable rates and fantastic value for money. Close to local metro station, mall and many other amenities; all within walking distance. Only downside being the bathroom in the apartment, it was out of date and in desperate need of redecoration and clean up. Apart from that, it was a brilliant all round experience.
