Marina access
Its entrance gave guests direct access to Marina Walk, with the promenade and waterfront immediately nearby.
Dubai Marina
Nuran Marina Serviced Residences was an apartment hotel on the edge of Dubai Marina, with spacious units, kitchens and some marina-facing balconies. Customer reviews say it permanently closed around the start of 2025 and is being converted into private apartments, so these details describe its former offering rather than a current stay.

Its entrance gave guests direct access to Marina Walk, with the promenade and waterfront immediately nearby.
The apartments were notably roomy and included practical self-catering facilities, including fully equipped kitchens.
Marina Mall, JBR, supermarkets, restaurants and the metro were all within walking distance for many guests.
Large apartments, kitchens, washing machines and nearby groceries made longer family stays easier.
The outdoor pool overlooked the marina area and was described by one guest as a strong amenity.
Guests reported enough parking spaces in the building's garage, useful for stays involving a rental car.
Check status. Do not book based on older listings: a November 2025 review says the property had permanently closed and was becoming private apartments.
Use the kitchen. For special diets or longer stays, the in-room microwave, plates and kitchen made bringing or preparing food practical.
Use transit. The former residence was well placed for car-free sightseeing, with the metro and tram reported within a short walk.
Confirm guest rules. Before inviting anyone, verify identification and visitor-access requirements; one guest said access was denied over an ID issue.
Plan the visit
A later review reports that Nuran permanently closed around the start of 2025 and is being turned into private apartments.
Several guests found the furniture and some shared corridors dated rather than modern.
Breakfast was repeatedly described as modest, below average or smaller than expected.
Some rooms near the bridge or highway were noisy, and one guest had to leave a window open because the temperature could not be adjusted.
One guest reported feeling unsafe after a late-night incident and felt security did not investigate or help adequately.
The Bottom Line
Nuran Marina Serviced Residences was a spacious apartment hotel on the edge of Dubai Marina, valued mainly for its position beside Marina Walk. Guests could stay in units with a fully equipped kitchen, washing machine and living space, use the outdoor pool, and walk to Marina Mall, JBR beach, supermarkets and metro connections. Some balconies looked directly over the marina canal, while others faced less appealing walls, bridges or roads.
The residence suited families and longer stays better than travellers seeking a polished, contemporary hotel. Reviews describe one- and three-bedroom apartments, daily room service, garage parking and enough kitchen equipment to prepare meals; one gluten-free guest specifically relied on a microwave and plates. Nearby Carrefour made self-catering straightforward.
Breakfast was the recurring weak point: several guests called the spread humble, below average or not worth its cost. Furniture, corridors and some rooms also showed their age, with reports of damp smells, basic cleaning, lukewarm showers and highway or bridge noise. Most service comments were warm and helpful, but a few serious reviews raised concerns about late-night security and rigid visitor-identification handling.
Most importantly, a November 2025 review says Nuran had permanently closed around the start of 2025 and was being converted into private apartments. Check the current status before relying on older listings or reviews.
