Guest Reviews

• Seyed Moein (1/5): -

• Albina (10/5): It was a great and comfortable month of living in Dubai! The service is top notch, the building is gorgeous! I will defi - It was amazing! Absolutely nothing! The best apartment in Dubai🥰
• niko (10/5): -
• Reem (1/5): Very bad. - was impressed by a Pakistani employee who was the only one who assisted me, and I am truly grateful to him. I did not like that the location provided on Booking does not match the actual location at all. When I arrived in Dubai early in the morning and used the provided location, I could not reach UP Side. Each time, I was taken to a different place, and this continued until 10:00 AM. The location must be verified and corrected. When I finally arrived at UP Side, I was told that my reservation was not completed, even though I had already paid the full amount. I was also asked to pay a security deposit of 1,000 AED. In addition, there were no slippers provided, only one box of tissues despite my stay being for six nights, and although there was a coffee machine, there were no coffee capsules. The cleanliness was extremely poor (2/10), and there was no luggage assistance service. I do not understand why I paid 5,000 AED for this place. This was a very disappointing experience that I will not repeat, and I will advise my friends not to stay here.”
• Chloe (9/5): -
• Rouda (1/5): The worst stay ever, I checked out on the same day - Nothing Nothing
• Kayleigh O'Malley (5/5): - The pool and beds Location (close to the airport and dubai mall ect) The touch lights The lack of communication throughout my stay. I advised the iron wasn't working and had no reply. I thought there would be things like toilet roll, dish soap and sponge (to wash the dishes with) as we've had these in other apartments. The bed and pillow wasn't comfortable at all to sleep in/on.
• ariel (9/5): - למרות המסרים השונים שהבהירו כי ההזמנה הושלמה, בפועל, נדרשו מספר שעות עד שקיבלנו את החדר. נדרשו התכתבויות שונות בימים וזמנים בהם לא היתה זמינות מלאה. מן הראוי שאם אדם קיבל הודעה הזמנתך הושלה הוא לא יקבל הודעה אחרת באופן שקט יותר שתסביר לו משהו אחר. אם אדם שילם, אי אפשר להשאיר אותו בארץ זרה ללא מענה הולם או פניה מקדימה אל המקום המארח לספר ק את החדר ולמחרת להשלים את ההזמנה כאשר משרדים רבים פעילים. אי אפשר להתעלם מאורח ששילם הכל ולהגיד לו לאחר אישור כי חסר משהו שכנראה היה ממש לא רלוונטי !!!

• Ardita (8/5): Bellissimo appartamento - E un bel appartamento, spazio, bella cucina , tutto sommato ok Non proprio mantenuto direi nei termini di pulizia a lunga durata,
• Sam (1/5): - I have reserved a unit with burja Khalifa views which was priced higher than a regular unit. Once I arrive, they did not offer the reserved unit, furthermore they claimed it was subject to availability which they had no disclaimer for upon reservation. They're happy to make you pay extra and give you whatever unit they have. I have tried to contact them on several times with no response.. they have lied and acted in bad faith with each attempt I had to agree on a refund for the features that I've paid extra for and they didn't deliver. A legal claim has been filed as all attemps to resolve this issue were totally ignored. This is a clear case of a deceitful announcement and da deficient management. It is advised to avoid any apartment managed by fam living.

• Adel (1/5): I requested smoking room from booking , and once I go to my staying they take deposits 500 Derham , and didn’t give me b - They cheated my money, and didn’t sent back my deposit They are cheating me
• Labinot (10/5): All in all a great stay and highly recommended! - Wonderful location and view. Also felt like a resident. Nothing.
• Oliver (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gugu (9/5): Superb - I really loved the apartment. I would definitely recommend!
• Harun (8/5): Very good -
• Matthew (9/5): great complex. The apartment itself was fairly okay - The bed and pillows weren't comfortable. No provision of an iron or ironing board. No provision of extra toilet paper. For the price l paid, provision of coffee, tea, sugar and milk would have an extra add on that goes a long way
• Mert (1/5): i stayed diffeent type of room than i saw in the photos. - They definitely do not give the same room in the photos, its very disappointed when you get to the room. The beds are very cramped and against two walls. When I say I want the same room type, they say they cannot because of the hotel fully booked.The person working at the reception is not the upside living officer. It is very difficult to contact the upside living staff. They are not friendly, they do not have customer-oriented service.
• Ahmad (6/5): Pleasant -
• Ipa (9/5): Superb -
• Aleksandra (1/5): Avoid at All Costs – Disorganized and Untrustworthy Management - I have never felt such discomfort from any booking as I did with this place. From the start, the booking process was chaotic—different people messaged me about various requirements, forcing me to fill out forms and sign a side agreement with numerous penalties for non-compliance. They even sent me a suspicious link requesting credit card details for a 500 AED deposit. After enduring this disturbing process via WhatsApp, they informed me—without permission—four days before my stay that my apartment was undergoing maintenance and had transferred me to a different hotel. The alternative was a cheap, dirty place with stained walls. When I requested a refund, they responded vaguely, only to text me the next morning, saying they had “sorted it out.” I suspect they received a better offer from someone else and tried to deceive me. To make matters worse, the apartment lacked even basic amenities like hand soap. While the apartment itself was beautiful, the company managing it clearly prioritizes money over guest comfort. Every interaction highlighted their disregard for customer experience. Avoid this company at all costs!
• Varun (10/5): Exceptional -
• Amr (8/5): A good place to stay at business bay. - The studio was very modern, and the entire building was amazing! Also, the location was perfect, and they have free parking. The check-in process wasn't the best, as I was surprised that I had to pay a security deposit. I couldn't pay that online because I had a problem with receiving an OTP from my bank, so I had to go to a separate office to pay it using an OTP. The employee was very polite to stay after her working hours waiting for me to pay it because it took me longer than expected to drive from Abu Dhabi to Dubai. However it wasn't a pleasant surprise and I prefer if they have charged that through booking.com instead of surprising me hours before leaving Abu Dhabi heading to the place.
• Rahmani (8/5): Very good -
• Adeel (9/5): Great! - Awesome building with great apartments and facilities. Excellent coworking space. The location isn’t that good- no supermarkets or decent restaurants are available at walking distance.
• Mohamed (9/5): Perfect would recommend to everyone to stay there. - Perfect none
• Abdeladim (10/5): Exceptional -
• Chathura (5/5): Passable -
• Rahmani (8/5): Excellent. Will return. - The pool area and remote work space. Coffee shop too expensive not enough shops in walking distance.
• Wendytongg (10/5): Best views in Dubai - Views are stunning! From the room or from the pool! The design of the hotel is amazing! The room is big! Maybe include some amenities would have been nice, such as hair conditioner
• Olivier (8/5): Very good - Coworking space Pool Workout space Noise from the highway
• Stacey (10/5): Gorgeous! - New beautiful gorgeous Nothing
• Corina (6/5): Terrible management, great apartament - I really really liked this property. What a stylish unique decor in Dubai, lovely views and amazing coworking space. I could see myself living there full time, and we even enquired about purchasing within the first days. We liked it so much we extended our stay, too. However the current management of the property is what’s driving the review down. The self check in is a pain. You have to send money for a deposit to some link - suspicious! - and if I didn’t recognise noon, I would’ve cancelled the booking and asked for my money back. We arrived very late and we were tired and complied. But this is unacceptable. There were pages and pages of rules, adding signature to 18 page documents, sending passports in advance, only to get the self check in details (and then to have to do the same at the reception when we arrived). The fees upon fees of what we would have to pay for breaking things, was rather off putting as a welcoming service. It felt like we enter a very one sided agreement in which they were expecting the absolute worst of us, whilst we had to hope our deposit would be refunded meeting all the requirements. Also, are you going to explain to me where is my deposit held, given that it’s not on booking.com? And that in order to get it back in 14 days and I need to file a form with the refund request as I’m juggling all matters of leaving the country? These things should be streamlined. We pay for a service to have peace of mind. We are on holiday, we had no plans to dedicate our evenings to paperwork. I spent hours dealing with this on a very short visit in Dubai. I would’ve rather spent it doing literally anything else. The lack of amenities is also unforgivable. It’s a two star hotel basic standard of providing a toilet roll and a soap, at least, and we didn’t even have that. Having to go out at night to buy basic amenities it’s not very … upside living. It’s a shame as there were kitchen cleaning products but not hand soap. I checked with the team and they said they indeed do not provide it.
• Iyad (7/5): Good -
• Elizabeth (9/5): Superb -
• Tenisha (10/5): Exceptional - A lot better than I expected amazing view from rooms and facilities here exceptional
• Chris (3/5): Quality apartment a lack of understanding who is going to stay. Who walks with toilet roll, the small things make a big - Not having any contact with the agent. Their style of management is arms length only offering excuses. Considering I had booked for 8 days coming from another country. I would have expected some sort of a welcome pack. I arrived at 1am in the morning. The supermarket wasn’t open and the was no toilet roll luckily my partner came the next day. And when I spoke with the agents they could not offer any solution only excuses why they didn’t do it. If you are to compete for the hotel business. Then compete, I would suggests that was a poor effort
• Elena (10/5): Very good -
• Dexter (5/5): Disappointing experience overall - Location Host switched my booking 2 hours before check-in even after asking for a deposit and travel credentials shortly before. Substitute properties offered were not as nice as what I initially paid for and booked which had dirty walls, hard beds, minimal toiletries, and strange plumbing sounds in master bathroom.
• Zahra (9/5): Nice- will consider going again hope next time with easier check in - The facilities The chick in time- they kept me waiting for 35 mins coz there was a lack of communication between the agent and the property
• Josiah (10/5): An Unforgettable 5 ⭐️ Experience! - Our recent stay at Upside Tower was nothing short of spectacular! From the luxurious accommodations to the impeccable service, every moment surpassed our expectations. The real standout, however, was the 3rd-floor common areas. The scenic pool, with its breathtaking views, offered a perfect retreat for us. Whether we were enjoying a refreshing swim or simply soaking in the cityscape, the ambiance was unparalleled. The co-working areas on the 3rd floor were equally impressive. Stylish and functional, they provided a seamless blend of productivity and relaxation. A game-changer for anyone needing to attend to work matters while enjoying a family getaway (guilty as charged :P). We look forward to our next stay with fäm Living!
• De (10/5): My stay at Upside Living was fantastic and would highly recommend it! - The property is in a great location in Business Bay with lovely leisure facilities and workspaces to work, the view from the apartment was beautiful specially during the evening sunsets. The staff is very cooperative and helpful.
