    I appreciated the very early check-in. The only problem was that the staff were watching noisy stories. I would recommend to use headphones like guests do......

    bed is hard as f**k, very uncomfortable, it is like a stone. Noisy, people didn't care about being quiet and talked loud outside, other left his phone with the alarm turned on and ringing for half hour.. No good mood as in other hostels I stayed in the past.. no community vibe I mean, but perfect for people that just look for a place to spend the night.

    perfect location near bus stop and supermarkets. got kitchen to prepare your own meals. was mostly clean until indians arrived... no jokes..

    I arrived late at night and the staff wasn't there, so I couldn't formalize my check-in procedures. I called them lots of times to the phone number written in Booking and they didn't answer cause it was wrong.

    The place and the location is perfect, everything is so clean and comfortable, indeed beds are perfect.

    Perfect location, nice vibes, well-equipped kitchen, and a free water dispenser.

    Most of the guests were not respectful of hostel etiquette in my room. I believe a lot of them were long term residents working in Abu Dhabi, which is fine, but not great for socializing.

    The hostel itself is really beautiful and cool. The staff were friendly and helpful, and I enjoyed the vibe a lot

    The number of bathrooms were less compared to the number of beds. Should add a board with name of the hostel at the main entrance.

    The staffs were helpful and polite. The location is walking distance from the beach. You will find many 24*7 and restaurants around.

    Lights off time is not standardized. There are not enough bathroom/toilet facilities for the number of guests.

    Very clean, mostly quiet hostel with guests from all over the world. Good indoor and outdoor areas to relax. Laundry on site.

    Best hostel I’ve stayed in in the UAE! Bed were comfortable and clean. Room was big with a large locker under the bed. Lights, plug and curtains for each bed. Staff were lovely and lent me an abaya for the mosque whilst my washing was drying!

    Both the carer and the incharge are non-rechargeable. We were given the cot around 1pm even though we had already requested for an early check-in when we arrived at the hostel. There was no caretaker or supervisor to speak with. We wish to meet them after a lengthy wait. Feel as though they can't be recharged. We paid for and reserved six bunkers and eight bunker beds, but we were only given eight. She responded that this is the only option after I asked the same question. Since we are tourists, we don't care about this, but since we are the ones who pay for it, they ought to answer to the visitor.

    Good for solo travellers and in the prime location

    There is a small courtyard with tables and benches. But i cannot sit there, because guests constantly smoke in this place.

    This is a comfortable and clean hostel.

    HI DENISTY INDOORS,, FEELS LIKE YOU CANNOT FEEL FREE,,YOU HAVE TO TAKE CARE IN EVERY MOVE YOU MAKE TO TRY TO BE KIND TO ALL AND AT SAME TIME ALSO NOT TO INVADE OTHERS PRIVACY. MEANWHILE YOU HAVE TO SHOW RESPECT TO ALL EVENLY SO AS NOT TO FIND YOUR SELF IN TROUBLE IF YOU EXPRESS YOUR SELF IN WRONG WAY.

    LOCATION IS CLEAN SURROUNDED BY AMINITIES OR ATTRACTIONS. YET LOTS OF WALKING NEEDED CLOSE TO BUS STOP. FLEXIBILTY IS ADMIRED , HONESTY AND GOOD HOSPITALITY ARE GOOD QUALITIES FOUND AT THE VILLA. ITS RECOMMENDED .

    The bed was a little hard, and there was only one bathroom (including a shower) upstairs for three different rooms with multiple beds, so there would be a problem if too many people needed to use the shower/bathroom at the same time.

    I liked that it was fairly quiet, and the people were very nice. There were drawers in which to place belongings under the beds. The air conditioning was working well, and the hostel was very close to a bus stop and grocery store along with restaurants.
