The Good Stuff
Easy check-in
Self check-in and late-night arrivals were described as smooth and hassle-free.
Well equipped
Several stays included fully equipped kitchens, appliances and practical amenities for feeling at home.
Fast responses
Reviews describe quick WhatsApp support and prompt handling of guest requests during stays.
Family space
Larger villas and apartments suit families and groups, including a five-bedroom penthouse and spacious villas.
Work option
At least one property includes a coworking space, useful if you need to work during a stay.
Pool access
Some properties include pools, including villas and apartments with pool facilities mentioned positively by guests.
Thoughtful touches
One anniversary booking included rose petals and a handwritten letter after a request for a quiet location.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm works. Before booking, ask whether construction or other works are scheduled; one Lana building guest heard work from 6am.
Document inventory. Photograph the apartment and report existing damage immediately, especially before checkout and security-deposit review.
Clarify refunds. Check the cancellation, refund and deposit terms in writing before booking, as reviewers reported disputes after disruptions.
Ask about maintenance. For longer or larger stays, confirm who handles urgent building issues such as lifts, air-conditioning and power.
Consider coworking. If you need to work during your stay, ask for a property with a coworking space rather than assuming every unit has one.
Check location. Ask about nearby transport and shops; one guest found a property close to shops and public transport.

The Bottom Line
Stella Stays operates furnished serviced apartments and villas, including homes suited to short holidays, family stays and longer visits. The reviews mention everything from a comfortable room with a coworking space to large villas and a five-bedroom Marina Terrace penthouse with a private pool and pool table. Barsha Heights is the listed neighbourhood context for the corporate office, while the accommodation reviews cover several Stella Stays properties across Dubai and other locations.
Cleanliness is a consistent strength. Guests describe apartments as spotless, villas as beautifully designed, and kitchens as fully equipped; one long-stay reviewer specifically praised new furniture and a quiet flat. Check-in is another practical plus, with self check-in and late-night arrivals described as easy.
Support is often handled through WhatsApp, and several reviewers say requests were answered quickly. There are important caveats. A Lana building guest reported construction noise from 6am, while others described delayed maintenance, including a broken washing machine and an air-conditioning issue.
Reviews about a Galata Istanbul power outage and refund disputes also underline the value of confirming cancellation, deposit and disruption policies in writing. Photograph the apartment’s condition on arrival and ask about current building works before committing to a longer stay.
