The Good Stuff
Large Rooms
Several reviews describe the apartments as spacious enough for families or longer stays.
Apartment Setup
Some studio apartments include a kitchen with cooking utilities, with utility washing available on request.
Shopping Base
The market setting puts shops, malls, restaurants and Deira shopping areas within easy walking distance.
Helpful Staff
Many guests found the staff friendly and helpful, including during longer stays and when resolving small room issues.
Spa Access
One long-stay guest reported complimentary spa access during the stay.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm Rate. Confirm the final room rate before arrival and again at check-in; one guest reported a large difference between the phone quote and hotel price.
Plan Breakfast. If you need an early start, ask about breakfast timing first: one review says it begins at 7:30am and can be monotonous.
Bring Water. Plan to buy drinking water locally rather than assuming it is complimentary; a grocery downstairs was useful to one guest.
Use Metro. Use the nearby metro for predictable travel, as one review found taxis difficult to find around the busy market.
Mind Timing. If you are unfamiliar with the area, plan market walks in daylight and take extra care around the surrounding traders’ market at night.

The Bottom Line
Florida City Hotel Apartments is an informal apartment hotel in Naif that makes the most sense for visitors focused on Deira shopping, business trips or easy metro access. Baniyas Square metro station is described as roughly 30 steps away, while shops, malls, restaurants and the Deira market sit close by. That location is the clearest reason to consider it, especially if you would rather use public transport than hunt for a taxi.
The accommodation itself is fairly practical. Reviews mention large rooms, a studio room with internet and a kitchen stocked with cooking utilities, plus good room service during a two-month project stay. Families and longer-stay guests have found the space comfortable, and one review mentions complimentary spa access.
Breakfast and the apartment-hotel setup are useful, though the kitchen may need refurbishment. Expect an older, uneven property rather than a polished modern hotel. Guests have reported damaged furniture, a tiny bathroom, missing shower glass and bath mats, weak electrical fittings, ineffective air conditioning and no complimentary water.
Service feedback is mixed: many guests describe friendly, helpful staff, but others report poor reception manners and an uncomfortable trolley incident. Confirm the final rate before arrival, check breakfast timing, and remember that the market area can feel sketchy at night.
