Tips for a Better Visit
Clarify deposit. Ask before arrival whether the AED 500 deposit is refundable and what deductions can be made at checkout.
Confirm visitor rules. Get visitor-ID and after-midnight fee rules in writing before booking, since guests say they were not disclosed in reservations.
Check parking. If driving with luggage, ask about the route from basement parking; one guest had to carry bags up a ramp to the main entrance.
Verify facilities. Confirm that the pool and gym are open for your dates rather than relying on online photos, as several reviews describe closures.
Pack supplies. If you plan to cook, ask for dish soap and a sponge in advance; one guest found kitchenware but no way to clean it.
Plan transport. For Metro trips, allow around 12–15 minutes on foot; the bus stop is closer but reviews say buses can come every 20–30 minutes.

The Bottom Line
Grand Belle Vue Hotel Apartment is an apartment hotel in Barsha Heights, with a restaurant, gym and spa areas. The apartment-style rooms are the clearest reason to consider it: positive reviews describe a washing machine, refrigerator, microwave, stove, kettle and basic cookware, making self-catering possible. Some rooms also have balconies, and one guest praised the high-rise view.
Location is useful for everyday stays. Reviews place two Carrefour supermarkets within a five-minute walk, a bus stop about five minutes away and Dubai Internet City Metro Station roughly 12–15 minutes on foot. The rooftop has a small private pool, while a separate female-only pool is also mentioned.
Buffet breakfast and other buffet meals receive some praise for fresh, tasty and varied food, though dining feedback is mixed. The caution list is substantial. Multiple guests report cockroaches, dirty kitchens, foul smells and rushed housekeeping; room furniture and appliances can also feel dated.
The pool and gym were reportedly closed or barely usable in some stays. Visitors should clarify the AED 500 deposit, any checkout deductions, and the reported AED 100 after-midnight visitor fee before paying. Parking can mean carrying luggage from the basement up a ramp, and one review specifically found the property unsuitable for guests with walking difficulties.
Experiences vary sharply, so written confirmation of policies and open facilities is wise.
