Kitchen facilities
Some apartments include a refrigerator, oven, washing machine and kitchen equipment for self-catering.
Pool and gym
The property has a gym and swimming pool, useful extras for longer stays or downtime between outings.
Nearby essentials

Tips for a Better Visit
Inspect first. Check the room, corridors and refrigerator before unpacking, given repeated reports of cockroaches and bedbugs.
Confirm billing. For monthly stays, confirm how the billing period is calculated and get any early-checkout refund terms in writing.
Check room type. Confirm the exact room category and total rate before arrival; one guest was given a different room at double the price.
Request quiet. If you need sleep, ask about a quieter room because guests report hearing low voices and hallway movement through the door.
Use the kitchen. Ask what kitchen equipment is included if you plan to cook; reviews mention a refrigerator, oven and washing machine.
Use nearby shops. Plan simple grocery runs nearby: reviews mention two supermarkets and a restaurant close to the property.

The Bottom Line
BURAQ ABAR RESIDENCES is an apartment-style hotel in Al Sufouh, built around larger units rather than compact hotel rooms. Guests have used the apartments for stays ranging from a few nights to six months. Depending on the unit, the kitchenette can include a refrigerator, oven, washing machine and other cooking equipment, while the gym and swimming pool provide basic leisure facilities.
The practical side is strong when the room is in good condition. Reviews mention two supermarkets and a restaurant nearby, plus Talabat delivery directly to the door. Parking is also mentioned, including underground parking without valet service.
Several guests found the rooms spacious and the staff polite and responsive, with housekeeping praised for quick help. The main caution is consistency. Multiple reviews from 2023 and 2024 report cockroaches, insects or bedbugs, while other guests describe their rooms as clean.
Night-time noise and weak soundproofing also come up, including clearly audible voices and corridor activity. Ask to inspect the room before settling in and request a quieter position if sleep matters. Long-stay guests should clarify the billing cycle, refund terms and exact reserved room before paying.
One guest reported a delayed refund, while another said the booked room was unavailable and the replacement cost twice as much. Breakfast feedback was also sharply negative in one review.
