June 08 - Great hotel/apts.Booked via Expedia and got a good deal. Only 10 mins from airport. We had the one bedroomed apt which is great - huge rooms with 2 bathrooms which is a bonus. The hotel has NO tourist info/facilities so you're on your own re finding places to go/visit. You need to flag a taxi down to go anywhere which is a total nightmare. Taxi drivers can also hardly ever find the hotel! Best to direct them to Ramada Continental on Abu Hail and then once you get there, you take the alleyway road to right of Ramada and straight on - then you're at Almanar Apts/Hotel.No social area/bar of course either so its your room and dining room and thats it. The pool on roof is good but the pool side bar/snack area didnt exist when we were there. Staff are very friendly however and helpful. Standard of rooms/cleanliness is excellent. MAJOR BUT !! - they are building a hotel or appts (or something) immediately next door to the hotel so building work ongoing from now to probably end of 2008? You cant see out of windows because of dust and its too noisy/hot to want to. Views are non existent so dont choose this place for views or location!! Personally I would recommend finding a hotel closer to Deira or Jumeirah where you may not need to get taxi's so much.
Only problem with hotels outside Deira/Jumeirah area is its off the beaten track and you have to flag a taxi down to go ANYWHERE!! That in itself can be a task. Some hotels have their own taxi's that can take you but generally charges double that of normal ...
