Positives

Quietness

One of the best building in Al Furjan, I was at Roy Mediterranean after that at the Glamz, I already visited Murano but, East 40 is one of the best. Perfect isolation.

Positives

A small green area and the security guys 👍

Negatives

Building management

Buildings are very fragile, thin walls, horrible construction noise, new apartment with defects in windows and balcony door. There’s no way anyone from management will ever answer or help so be prepared to pay stuff by yourself. Security guys incredibly professional and helps - most helpful people actually And the more… only ones to help if you need anything as new tenant. Chiller - be careful at how they bill and manage invoices. They are also unresponsive always. And quite steep.Show less

Horrible, building is falling apart

Moved here in 2020, Living alone.

Positives

Nothing

Negatives

Horrible, building is abandoned

Neglected building, regular sewerage flooding the apartments, apartments are extremely humid which is an issue they refuse to fix, chiller is super expensive, no external building cleaning or maintenance and careless management. Most tenants that were scammed into moving into the building have left, supermarket closed down, buildings are empty, more… may as we’ll be abandoned. Stay away if you value your dignity and standard of living!Show less

Good value for reasonable quality

Nick

From Australia

Moved here in 2021, Living alone.

Positives

Decent sized studio apartment

Negatives

The apartment is well sized and of good quality compared to the other buildings in the area. Has a gym and a swimming pool on the terrace. Just like most buildings in Dubai, maintenance can be improved. Contacting the owner provided a better outcome with fixing things

Al Shaiba Towers review, September 2021

Terrible building with pathetic maintenance staff.

Sam

From India

Moved here in 2019, Living with spouse.

Positives

Near to metro.

Negatives

Greedy maintenance, unhygienic, hidden costs.

Lifts are in terrible condition. Poor condition of parking. Maintenance and Agency staff always bother you for small things. Even if u bring an extra mattress they will question you unreasonably. Me and my husband waiting for our current contract to get over so we can shift elsewhere.

East 40 review, September 2021

Terrible low quality materials and interior

Manoj

Positives

Nothing

Negatives

Everything is low quality

The building interiors are very low quality materials as I rented the flat for one year and ran away after one year. Even one day the ceiling fell down on our head. You will get too better flats in Dubai so I would like to recommend don't spend your money more… to struggle with their low quality interiors and materials. I don't want to give any star, unfortunately without at least one star it's not allowing to post.Show less

Sulafa Tower review, August 2021

The worst building management

JRB

From United Kingdom

Moved here in 2019, Living with spouse.

Positives

Size of apartment

Negatives

Terrible building management, aggressive security

The building has decent sized apartments, but the whole building is run down and not maintained properly. They turn off your access card and then force you to pay for another. Block access to your parking space, block access to the gym. The gym is full of broken equipment and more… looks more like a garage. The building management do nothing to help and this leaves a situation where the residents argue with security, who become aggressive. I have witnessed several major arguments and near fights in reception. The apartment size, location and value seem good, however you will instantly regret signing a lease at Sulafa tower.Show less

Gangs of kids rule this place

Justin

From Australia

Moved here in 2018, Living alone.

Positives

Close to MCC

Negatives

Security unable to do anything about noisy gangs

There are gangs of children that roam the buildings and cause noise and disturb the neighbourhood in the late hours overnight. Despite multiple complaints and discussions with the property manager the same issue continues. Over two years of late night disturbances, loud children’s swearing and fighting. Security on more… the property do nothing and are useless sitting close by and watching if they are present at all. If they could fix this issue and take back control of the property from wild packs of kids it would be a great place to liveShow less

Great view but bad quality, narrow parking

NBao

From Vietnam

Moved here in 2019, Family with children.

Positives

Full Marina view

Negatives

Smell & bad bathrooms

We stay in 3 bedroom flat right in the corner with full Marina view and bright. There’s no traffic noise in this position but the speaker of mosque in the opposite side is really loud. Kitchen is too small and bad quality. Leaking from the A/c above kitchen ceiling happens more… many times Toilets are also bad quality and smelly. A/C is noisy and old. Water will pour inside windows when it’s heavy rain The swimming pool is too small to swim. Parking entrance is narrow Less traffic jam in this area of Marina. No visitor parking in building but there are always available public parking lots outside except weekend afternoon and eveningShow less

Positives

Value for Money

Negatives

This is a great building with a great location. The best part of the Building is that all the flats here are bigger in size as compared to most of Marina Flats. One Beds are with 2 Bathrooms and size is from 900 to 100 square feet. 2 Bed Room more… Flats are with 2 Bathrooms from 1150 to 1250 Squarefeet. 5 Floor building with 2 Lifts and no need to wait for ages to for lift. Gym and Pool is decent. Really good value for money and close to tram, metro, beach & Marina MallShow less

Negatives

Gym

I am still new in Armada Tower 1 moved in June 2021 Gym - Timings 9am to 6pm VERY WEIRD FRIDAYS - Gym Closed very very WEIRD and the worst gym ever I have seen in my life. No equipments, No machines So Zero Star for the gym, the Pool is nice. Parking is good more… but for the maintenance you will have to run behind the agent or the owner.

Positives

Layouts

Negatives

Maintenance, bad sewage smell

We have been living in this tower for 5 years and have lived here in a couple of different apartments. What is good about it? • Brick and mortar building – less fire hazard • Good layouts What is not so good? • Old building • Maintenance issues – very bad sewage smell comes in summers in the apartments, common more… areas and balconies. Makes it impossible to sit. • Water keeps dripping from chiller all year round • The building management is not very cooperative. • Lot of high rise building coming up under the Dubai Harbour project so view will also go away.Show less

Better than the 5-star Bonnington

Positives

Amazing view

Negatives

We lived in the 5-star Bonnington before and some time missed the hotel services there. But the view of our apartment in Saba 3 simply makes up for it. The Marina Skyline during sunset is a must see. There are also so many things to eat, play and do downstairs more… for the kids. We simply LOVE it!Show less

Positives

Common areas

Negatives

Chiller fees

The project is very new almost 1 and half years old. It is a community made up of 10-14 buildings and joint shops (which till this moment are not opened, not a single supermarket or any store is open yet) a common area with beautiful scenery and greenery, while 2 more… pools are made for children only as they are maximum 1.2m deep and without sun beds. The finishing of the building is very cheap, it very bad, paint comes off easily, tiles break easy, water leaks from faucets sometime, the sound isolation is ZERO if you like to live in a calm house, do not move in, you can hear your neighbors talking sometimes. The worst spec. is the Chiller fees, it is supplied by EMPOWER, however managed by the project agency which tends to split the billing and fees as they like, the average for 1BHK in peak summer is 1,000 AED (chiller only excluding DEWA) and on other day average is 500-700 aed/month however if you do not use the chiller at all you will pay 180-200 aed per month.Show less

Al Telal 5 review, March 2021

Leaking Basement & Poor maintenance

Annonymous

From India

Moved here in 2018, Living with spouse.

Positives

Room size is good

Negatives

I've been living in Telal5 for 2 years. Initally it seemed great with okay maintenance. The price was higher than market value but we decided to take it since it had closed kitchen and good room size. As the years went by, the reduced the rent due to market condition more… but maintenance has suffered. There is hardly any cleaning of the corridors and the floors are a mess. The basement is covered in water half of the time and am not sure what water has been leaking here for more than a year. The pest issues have increased due to poor cleanliness and bad habit of fellow neighbours who leave the food all around the garbage room. The management is least bothered by millions of complaints I hace made and am still paying more than market value for my stay. I would not reccomend staying at Telal 5 in the near future.Show less

Positives

Location is the best ever in Marina

Negatives

Security is too strict but hey thats good too.

Hey, I have been staying in Marina Pinnacle for the last 2 years now. One of the friends told me that it's not a good building but I feel it's an amazing building. Specially Tower A, facing Marina side. I have stayed in many places within Marina and JBR for the more… last 10 years in Dubai but this place is best-suited location-wise. Cabs are just down the building, Tram is 5 min walk at a visual distance, Metro is 10 min walk. Some of the best beach clubs in Dubai - Barasti & Zero Gravity are within walking distance. Skydive is at walking distance. You come out of the building and there is your Marina walk. The building is surrounded by over 4 supermarkets and 4 pharmacies. There is a dry cleaning and saloons inside the building itself. There are 4 pools, a jacuzzi sauna, a big gym and all most everything you can imagine. The security of the building is pretty tight but i consider it as good. It should be tight to keep the unwanted elements under control. Rents are low too.Show less

Negatives

No A/C for whole building

It's a new building in JLT, so we moved in with high hopes. There were lots of issues straight away but maintenance usually resolved them quickly. And then October hit and A/C was shut off to the ENTIRE building. We live on a high floor facing the sun all day more… so it got up to 28-30 degrees every day the whole winter. We woke up sweating and fell asleep sweating. Absolutely miserable. Spoke to many other tenants and they were all miserable too :( We raised the issue to everyone over and over: building managements, HOA, landlord, RERA, etc, No one could resolve this.Show less

Big apartments, decent views but the apartment is get worse with time. The yellow water in cisterns and taps will make your life miserable. The moisture due to old AC ducts will keep the entire apartment wet and moist whenever they are off or above 23deg. The tiles in the more… kitchen are falling down. The traps in the balcony smell of filth. The traps will keep on clogging every 2 months. Gym machines are damaged and not working anymore.Show less

Low quality finish, noisy neighbors

Pros: - spacious flats, but this is not rare in Dubai Cons: - low quality finishing; - the paint comes off from literally sticking a sticky note on the wall! - very loud neighbors. It seems this building only has young loud people living in it. Expect to hear music at all odd hours; - very more… thin walls. You can hear neighbors doing everything. It’s like they’re in the next room; - access to the building is very difficult; - no amenities nearby but a gas station; - AC bill is ridiculously high; - Overall expect to pay way more in bills in this building; - gym and pool area are very small for a building this big; - Way expensive for the area and what it offers; - management does absolutely nothing when you complain or about maintenance; TLDR: - Very loud people living in it. Pricey. Not worth it. Go somewhere else.Show less

Positives

Good location, good security, clean, big balcony

Negatives

Bad gym, bad maintenance team

This building is my favorite because of the location, easy access to metro, tax, marina walk, beach, restaurants, bars ... you name it. Right place to relax with 3 by 6 meter balcony. You don't need to go any where else, everything is here. Shopping mall is 5 minutes walk, more… metro is 2 minutes walk, beach is 7 minutes walk. Restaurant and bars are 1 minute walk. Massage and salons are around the building. I am enjoying staying here. Don't pay attention for picky people writing negative comments.Show less

Negatives

No park for loading and parking is hard to get to

It is a pitty that such a good tower, best location not to have good parking solution. Best Gym and swimming pool and good security. Building is very clean and good place to live a luxury life. Parking is the headache. First to get to your parking, very narrow passage and more… second there is no place for trucks to load and unload furniture. I believe they should allocate couple of parking at the ground floor for this purpose.Show less

Greenery and the ambiance. Best place 2 Stay Fit

Negatives

No small time groceries, stationary & laundry.

I moved in August 2019 with lot of anxiety after living in Sharjah for 17 years but this is a good move if I look back after a year. The Place is filled with Trees & Plants which makes it so nice on the Eyes and morning walks & cycling more… makes it so special. I love my Balcony view of the Greenery and Bird's chirping. The IBN Mall is right in front of us and manage most of the things but most of the options there are quite expensive. Luckily we have FESTIVAL PLAZA opened up and has IKEA & LULU which is a Double prize in the same place. The Exits & Entries are increased now in the last 6-8 months so it makes it much easier than before. We are waiting for the METRO works to finish so that the Roads between Gardens & Discovery Gardens open too. Only drawback is the District Cooling charges which is expensive apart from the DEWA & RENT. In short this is one of the Best place to live in Dubai & I simply Love it :)Show less
