The Good Stuff
Laundry Access

Spacious Rooms
Several guests describe the apartments as large enough for families, including one layout where five people could stay.
Quiet Setting

Tips for a Better Visit
Check Parking. If you are driving, ask about parking before booking because one guest specifically found it problematic.
Confirm Supplies. For stays of several nights, confirm replenishment of toiletries, coffee and bottled water rather than assuming they continue automatically.
Allow Walking. Plan for roughly a 15-minute walk to the metro according to one review, even though shops and restaurants are closer.
Check Breakfast. Ask exactly what breakfast includes before adding it, as reviews mention limited options and a poorly labelled setup.
Choose Self-Catering. Book this format if you value a kitchen and washing machine; one reviewer specifically recommended it for self-catering.

The Bottom Line
ZiQoo Hotel Apartment is a Japanese-themed stay in Discovery Gardens built around apartment living rather than polished city-hotel formality. The useful draw is having space to settle in: reviews mention studio and one-bedroom layouts, full kitchens, large fridges and washing machines. That makes it practical for families, longer stays or anyone who would rather cook some meals than depend on breakfast or room dining.
The neighbourhood does much of the heavy lifting. Guests describe supermarkets, groceries, Indian and other restaurants, pharmacies, clinics and salons within easy reach, while Ibn Battuta Mall is walkable for additional shopping and dining. Metro access is available, but one review puts the walk at about 15 minutes, so daily commuters should allow time.
Balconies and generally quiet residential surroundings are further positives, and the gym is considered functional, though small. The trade-off is condition and consistency. Multiple reviews call the building, furniture or appliances old, and others report smells, cockroaches or missed towel and toiletry replenishment.
Service feedback ranges from very supportive to distinctly rude. Drivers should ask about parking before arrival. Breakfast also draws criticism for limited choices and a confusing setup.
In short, it suits guests prioritising apartment facilities and local convenience over modern finishes, dependable housekeeping or a strong hotel-dining experience.
