The Good Stuff
Spacious rooms
The apartments are repeatedly described as large, clean and comfortable, with large beds and well-equipped interiors.
Helpful service
Reviews consistently describe staff as attentive and quick to respond, including prompt help with requests and maintenance issues.
Quiet base
The property suits guests who want a peaceful stay away from central Dubai's noise, including longer-term business stays.
Useful access
It is convenient for Dubai Investment Park, Expo City and road links including E311 and E611, with comfortable parking.
Good dining
Gul restaurant is praised for its food, including tandoori chicken, biryani, breakfast and a reasonably priced lunch buffet.
Excellent shower
One review specifically highlights the shower, alongside clean, modern rooms and a well-equipped kitchenette.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check water. Ask about hot-water availability before settling in, since one guest reported no hot water and others found it insufficiently hot.
Choose apartments. For stays of a week or more, book an apartment room to use the kitchen, washing machine and other household facilities.
Plan transport. Allow extra travel time for central Dubai; the property is near the end of the metro line and the station may require a taxi.
Confirm charges. Check the booking total and tourist charge before arrival; one guest paid AED 90 for six days.
Ask breakfast. Confirm whether breakfast is included in your rate, as one guest said an agreed buffet breakfast was not provided.
Pack drying. If using the washing machine, ask how laundry can dry: a review noted there was no dryer or drying line.

Common Concerns

Dubai Investment Park is far from central attractions; reviews put the drive to the city centre at roughly 30 to 40 minutes.

The Bottom Line
Abar Hotel Apartments is built more like a home base than a conventional city hotel. The spacious rooms have kitchens, full-size appliances and washing machines, making the property a practical choice for week-long stays, family visits or longer work assignments. Reviews also mention comfortable beds, clean modern interiors and an excellent shower.
Gul restaurant is a useful part of the stay rather than just a fallback. Guests mention breakfast, a daily buffet, tandoori chicken, biryani and mandhi with full lamb; one review specifically reported an AED 29 lunch buffet. Food delivery through Careem is also allowed to reach the rooms.
The rooftop pool is available, though its upkeep and furniture receive mixed feedback. The location in Dubai Investment Park is peaceful and works well for Expo City, nearby business areas and road access via E311 and E611. Parking is described as ample, while shops and Choithrams are within walking distance in some reviews.
Central Dubai is less convenient, with reported drives of around 30 to 40 minutes. Before booking, confirm breakfast, tourist charges and hot-water arrangements. Reviews also raise recurring concerns about cockroaches, dirty floors, an under-equipped or poorly maintained gym, and occasional maintenance noise.
Those issues matter more for a short tourist visit than for someone prioritising space and apartment facilities.
