The Bottom Line
Al Manar Hotel Apartment is a modest apartment-style stay in Abu Hail, with spacious rooms, a rooftop swimming pool and a casual restaurant serving breakfast. It suits guests who want more room than a standard hotel room, especially for longer stays: one reviewer stayed for more than 30 days, while another spent 24 days in a clean, spacious apartment. The nearby metro station is mentioned repeatedly, and restaurants and shops are also described as easy to reach.
Service is a major strength in the reviews. Housekeeping and room service are often praised for being polite, punctual and thorough, while security and front-office staff are described as helpful. Families may appreciate the pool area, where a reviewer noted pool beds and towels, and the restaurant has also received praise for breakfast; another guest enjoyed both breakfast and lunch.
There are important caveats. Some apartments feel dated and may have awkward layouts, while reports mention bad smells from kitchen sinks and washrooms, poor ventilation and dirty carpeting. Kitchen equipment can vary sharply: one guest found only a kettle, despite booking an apartment with a kitchen, while another found the kitchen well equipped.
Confirm your room's facilities, cleaning schedule, arrival arrangements and parking before checking in.
