    The location was too far from the downtown. The shower and toilet was general for female and male rooms.

    The owner of the hostel is really considerate and always ready to help. He helped me with the taxi and tried to respond to my requests.

    The hostel is cheap for Abu Dhabi, so you should not expect everything new and sparkling. The furniture and finishing is quite old. But it is surprisingly neat.

    It well worth the money. It is clean and no disturbing smell is inside the hostel as you may have experienced in some backpackers' hostels. We were proposed a transfer to the airport. We did not need it as we were travelling to Dubai. But it might be helpful if you travel without a car. The host is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious and enough food for us for a whole day. Thank you very much for the late check in and hosting us!

    Didn't notice the water heater switch until I left. I was taking army showers for no reason, heh.

    Host was very friendly and helpful, checked in on me to make sure I was safe. Comfy room, soft bedsheets, interesting doors, clean, nice guests, close to markets & restaurants, towel included, 2 toilets with shower, a kitchen. I enjoyed it here.

    Some persons in the dormitory were extremely noisy. i would have expected a cut of time for lights to go off. You come to a backpack dormitory to get shut eye. There should be no leeway.

    The property owner is fantastic. Very polite accomodating and supportive. I usually never got dormitory, was very skeptical on how it would be, but it turned out to be an experience to have.

    The bed was old so it was thinned foam and hurts your back after sleeping there long time. There was also no common area for dining, and the stove to cook is on the floor 😅. Some lockers also have faulty locks so iffy to leave your things inside.

    Location, free public parking, curtains around the bed provided privacy, and the host Shohaib was great and accommodating throughout my stay

    You can smell cigarettes in the room because the room door is 24 hours open. The hostel's door is also open until late evening and the room was just 2 steps away so you can hear all the noise. The bed makes a lot of noise so I couldn't sleep almost all night.  There is no check-in desk so you can't ask anything if you need.  The airport is 1h by bus far so I am not sure if it is good location

    It is a cheap place. It's probably the cheapest places in Abu Dhabi. Toilets are clean. There is a shared kitchen and washing machine

    Rooms very basic, no communal area just a small kitchen with 2 foot stools! 2 cooking rings on the floor not ideal but microwave and enough utensils. Needs a bit of doing up but has everything you need as a stop over.

    Manager was very helpful and friendly and nice guests passing through. Closeness to bus stops for airport, mosque etc Lockers and curtains round beds Always a bathroom available.

    My personal experience- Property is hard to find as I didn’t have a local sim/ internet and I was so late in the night, I have to walk the entire neighbourhood and borrow a restaurant workers phone to finally get to the property. An exact location on the map would be useful. Other than that no issues with the property and host is amazing

    Nice cozy bed and room for a short stay. I’m transiting through Abu Dhabi and wanted a place to crash for the night. Absolutely reasonable price and decent for a night stay.
