Tips for a Better Visit
Avoid long leases. Treat a one-year rental cautiously: reviews repeatedly flag deposit delays, rent increases and management disputes.
Clarify deposits. Before signing, get the deposit-refund timeline and process in writing; one guest was still waiting after five months.
Test Wi-Fi. If reliable internet matters, test it before settling in; one guest specifically advises against staying if you need good Wi-Fi.
Confirm check-in. Ask whether the room is ready before arriving; one guest waited 45 minutes despite a scheduled check-in.
Use mall route. From the metro, head to PF Chang’s on the Mall of the Emirates ground floor for the pedestrian exit.

The Bottom Line
Ivory Grand Hotel Apartments suits travellers who want more room than a standard hotel room. Reviews mention large one- and two-bedroom apartments with kitchens, refrigerators and washing machines, plus a rooftop pool, gym, sauna and spa. Its strongest practical advantage is the Al Barsha setting: Mall of the Emirates is described as roughly a five-minute walk away, with metro access, supermarkets and plenty of nearby eateries.
Short-stay feedback is often positive about friendly staff, daily housekeeping, parking and clean, comfortable rooms. Families in particular mention the apartment size and helpful service. The rooftop pool has sun beds, and older reviews also praise the breakfast buffet and Friday Brunch.
A few guests noted room-service delays and dated bathrooms, so expectations should match an apartment hotel rather than a freshly renovated property. The important caution is long-term renting. Multiple tenants describe security-deposit refunds taking two to eight months or more, alongside disputes about rent increases, maintenance and management communication.
Short stays are a clearer fit, but test the Wi-Fi before relying on it: several guests report slow speeds, frequent disconnections and one-device authentication. Confirm room readiness at check-in and clarify deposit terms in writing before signing any extended agreement.
