The Good Stuff
Kitchen facilities
In-room kitchens let some guests cook as they would at home, making the apartment format useful for family or longer stays.
Laundry option
Some apartments include a washing machine, a practical feature for solo travellers and longer stays.
Central location
Guests describe the location as convenient for metro access, shopping, restaurants and supermarkets around Bur Dubai.
Long stays
Reviews mention that the property accepts longer rentals, including stays of 15 days, one month or more.
Helpful service
Some stays included clean rooms, prompt support and staff who responded quickly to requests or complaints.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check appliances. Before settling in, test the kitchen appliances and fridge; guests have reported equipment that did not work.
Verify pool. Ask reception whether the pool is open during your stay; one guest found it unavailable despite the facility being advertised.
Clarify parking. If driving, ask about parking charges in advance because a review specifically says parking is not free.
Confirm checkout. Get any late-checkout cost in writing: one guest said two extra hours were charged at nearly two days’ rent.
Ask long-stay rates. For a stay of 15 days or more, ask about long-term terms and pricing before booking rather than assuming a nightly rate.
Inspect linens. Check the sheets, bathroom and kitchen on arrival and report problems immediately; guests have described damp sheets and pests.

The Bottom Line
Nihal Residency Hotel Apartments is a spacious, budget-style apartment stay in Al Mankhool. The main draw is the extra room to live in: reviews mention one-bedroom apartments, in-room kitchens, washing machines and four-fixture bathrooms. That setup can work well for families, solo travellers carrying out longer stays, or anyone who wants to cook rather than eat every meal out.
Long-term rentals are also mentioned. Location is another clear advantage. Guests describe metro stations as walkable, with a supermarket nearby and shopping and restaurants around Bur Dubai.
Some reviewers also report clean rooms, prompt service and helpful reception staff, so experiences are not uniformly poor. The caution is consistency. Other guests reported cockroaches, bedbugs, stained or damp linen, bad smells, blocked bathroom drainage, broken showers and kitchen appliances that did not work.
Reception service also receives mixed feedback, ranging from helpful responses to complaints about unfriendly attitudes and mishandled checkout charges. Parking is not free according to one review, while the pool has been reported as non-functional or locked. Inspect the room on arrival, test the appliances, and confirm pool, parking and late-checkout arrangements before committing.
