    The room is slightly small for the number of beds. But overall it is a very good compared to other hostels.

    Very close to main station. Clean and friendly staff.

    the bed was quite hard, the dorm had no furniture outside of the lockers, no chair or table or hooks for jackets or towel. it seems like they don’t always change the sheets, two girls arrived late and left in the morning, and the other girl in the dorm stayed there all day and they just made the beds but didn’t change the sheets. they would come to turn off the AC when we were in the room, and even when we were all awake and talking and packing quietly in the room they came two times to turn off the light saying that it’s time to go to sleep ! also laundry was expensive.

    location, kitchen was clean and good equipment, staff very knowledgeable about what to do in the area. locker in room, AC

    It could have been better if someone didn't take my food on the ridge :(

    The location is excellent it's in the city and near the bus station and mall very easy to locate. The staff also sent me an instruction on how to get there it's very convenient.

    They don't provide towels and I don't know I just had a weird feeling like they don't really care about clients but more about profit... I don't know maybe I'm wrong, I just got this vibe...like for example when I arrived there was no sign telling that this was a hostel which is a bit unusual. I had to ring the bell many times when I arrived and the Colombian guy from the reception who opened to me seemed a bit sleepy and annoyed to see me there. I mean it's wasn't that bad but overall I'm not sure I would recommend it...

    Nice place to stay a night or two! They have a kitchen which is good! You have to know that there aren't bunkbed like in other hostels it's "normal" beds which is okay. You have a locker each wich is good. It was good for a night or two.

    The check-in and check-out times for the selected dates should be of the whole day long this is something that booking.com need to consider because I selected the dates from 21-26 and the check-in time start from 2 pm and checkout time was 12 pm on the 26 date-- and it is very strange and confusing for a visitor that why the check-in and check-out time is not of the complete day duration -because of that I had to pay extra amount for the hotel of keep language after checkout time ended for the last date of booking

    Overall it was great - The hotel was at good location - easy access to the bus terminal mart and host was good

    The WI-FI did not work at all, so don't expect to work or use a lot of internet, unless you use your own mobile data. The beds are made in really hard mattresses, which I assume it can be a cultural difference.

    The location is perfect for an Abu Dhabi trip: exactly next to the Central Station, which has buses to every attraction and to Dubai. The Villa has AC (really important in the Emirates) and has individual lockers with hangers and mirror to which guest, a luxury!

    On the first floor there is only one bathroom and the floor of the bathroom is always wet. The plugs are not available in every bed, if u are not lucky u have to connect ur charger a bit far from ur bed

    The staff is amazing!!! The building is very good located, u can find the bus station and a mall only 7 to 10 minutes walking

    a rather new hostel. still in the development. the rooftop terrace and the frontyard will be equipped with tables and chairs in the near future. nevertheless I enjoyed using the facilities also as blank as they are currently. location is fine. there are busses running on the main roads to both sides of the hostel (e.g. Bus 22 to the white mosque in one direction and to the presidential palace, the beach and the historical fort in the other direction; Bus 94 to Louvre; Bus T2 to the airport). if needed they also offer taxi rides to the airport at a reasonable price. the room was good in size and the hostel in general a calm place.

    The rooms need more sockets and blinds for the doors and windows. More bathrooms would also better, especially at rush hour. The noise of other guests or from reception might be disturbing.

    Friendly and helpful staff. New hostel 5min walk from the main bus station. I loved the hard beds and pillows.
