Family rooms
One family stay found the room clean and appreciated having a kitchen and bathroom.
Reserved parking

Helpful reception
A review describes the reception and security team as very helpful during the stay.

Tips for a Better Visit
Request views. Ask for a fountain- and Burj-facing apartment if the view is your main reason for booking.
Check AC. Confirm the air-conditioning setup before arrival; one guest could not lower it below 24 degrees.
Allow time. Confirm the key handover arrangements and leave a buffer, as one arrival waited 45 minutes.
Ask about parking. If you drive, ask how to access the dedicated parking space assigned to your apartment.
Expect apartments. Treat it as a residential tower with holiday-home operators rather than a conventional hotel.

The Bottom Line
Burj Residences Tower 5 is a residential-style holiday-apartment stay in Downtown Dubai, directly opposite Burj Khalifa. The main draw is the view: guests describe balconies and apartments looking across to Burj Khalifa and the dancing fountain, including a “water fall show” view and especially memorable night scenes. Its position also puts Dubai Mall close by.
The apartments can suit families better than a standard hotel room. One guest specifically praised a clean room with a kitchen and bathroom, while another mentioned dedicated parking for each apartment. Some units have extras such as PS4 and Netflix, although these details appear in individual apartment reviews rather than as a guaranteed building-wide offering.
There are important checks to make before booking. This is a residential building managed by different holiday-home operators, so apartment condition and service may vary. Reviews mention dated-looking interiors and elevators, weak common-area or gym AC, cleaning problems, and one serious complaint about the water system.
A separate guest waited 45 minutes for keys despite arriving on time. Confirm the apartment’s AC, view, parking access and key handover arrangements in advance. A reported price of 3150 dirham for one apartment was also described as poor value by that guest.
