Serviced apartments in Dubai
 

Does anyone have any recommendations for a serviced apartment in Dubai. Ideally it would be (very) close to the metro line.

Thanks in advance.

Jumeirah Lake Towers apartments for rent in Dubai - Apartments in Jumeirah Lake Towers- JustRentals.com
two metro stations there.

Hyatt Galleria in Deira. Close to a Metro Stn on the Green line. Attached to the Hyatt Regency Hotel so you also have full hotel facilities if you want them. Incl Spa & Gym FOC. Discounted rates in outlets. Tennis courts. Squash. Small Choithrams supermarket and ice rink in the complex.
Rooftop pool on 30th floor for Galleria residents - great place for plane spotting ;)
Not the cheapest place in town but close to the airport. Well managed - you will have no hassles over cleaning, maintenance, etc.

Depends on what your budget is apart from how long you want to commute.
If your work takes you to DXB Airport every day and you dont want to commute for too long then you could choose a place close to Airport preferably on the Airport Red Line. Look up google maps for places close to Airport. BE ADVISED: Metro doesnt take you to Airport Terminal 2 / Gate 3. If thats where you intend to go.

SERVICED APARTMENTS DXB
 

Suggest you try the Trade Centre Apartments on SZR, 1bed/2 bed
5 min walk to Trade Centre Metro station.

Make sure you get apartment on the back of the buildings,otherwise traffic noise.

Caveat - both the Trade Centre Apartments & the Hyatt Galleria are getting a bit long in the tooth (i.e. approx 30 years old. Ancient by DXB standards). Decor and furnishings not to everyone's taste. But as they say 'location, location, location'. ;)

You might want to try 'Time - Topaz Living Courts' in Al Barsha. Right next to CityMax Hotel. 2 bedroom, 3 bathroom place fully furnished with all utilities/amenities was 9000 AED up until the beginning of this year. a 30 second walk to the back entrance of Mall of the Emirates (Metro is in MoE). Good value for money. Spent a year and a half there and can say I was thoroughly happy. The convenience of the mall was prime. Traffic (if driving) was a nightmare though!

Thanks to all, I'll set up some visits when I'm over for my interview!

What about City Centre Residence, Deira ?
Any experience of that?

Metro Times
 

Bear in mind it never operates 24/7 and doesn't open until 1pm on a Friday.

There are plenty of service apartments just behind the Burjuman Mall which is next to the Khalid Bin Waleed metro stop. You can get a studio, 1 bedroom or from bigger around AED 200-300/night, or opt for a monthly rate (long stay).
These places usually include breakfast and free WIFI.
