    Nothing really, place is a find!

    Eben, Mary & Irene are keeping it amazingly friendly, and the place is always spotless clean. Water, tea, and coffee are complimentary, and the area is packed with good restaurants and supermarkets. There is a common area to eat, watch TV but there is also a quiet work area. The location is walking distance from the beach as well.

    The location might be a little tricky but I managed to find it even at 01:00

    The staff were very helpful even when I checked in at 01:00, wifi was strong, free water, the shower was great hot water and very clean added bonus was the the rain shower head (bottom floor) Very happy about my stay here and will return in a month’s time!

    A nice budget stay in Abu Dhabi that I recommend.

    • Bed in 6 Bunk Beds Room - Male

    Bunk beds are metallic. I expected wooden ones. Property has only one bathroom on each floor compared to high number of guests it is not enough. I used to wait 30 minutes sometimes to use the bathroom.

    Located close to Corniche beach, popular fastfood restaurants and supermarkets around. The staff are friendly and making nice conversation with funny jokes. A private courtyard to rest but its open without a shade, could be hot to sit there during daytime. Dormitories are well conditioned and clean. Kitchen has all necessary to cook your food.

    Excellent accommodation, very clean and comfortable. Great atmosphere, shared spaces are well maintained; perfect for relaxing and ideal location for transport links. This hostel is top choice for anyone visiting Abu Dhabi, could not ask for better. It is close to beaches and many wonderful sights and attractions. For your day to day needs, everything is in the local area; most necessities are within 15 minutes walking distance. The kitchen is fully functional and very well equipped, always clean and ready to use. Spacious bathrooms, very good showers; hot water is always available. The beds are extremely comfortable, air conditioning is a welcome bonus especially in Summer season. The laundry service is excellent value for money, very fast and reliable; the best I have experienced in any accommodations. All staff are a true pleasure, friendly and welcoming; very hardworking and dedicated to providing the best experience for all guests. I cannot fault any of them, they are wonderful. Special mentions: Dorcas, Comfor, Mary Joyce, Vicky, Abdul Eban, Juan and Ayman I appreciate you all, the hostel would not be the same without you; you are the most amazing people and truly essential. I hope to see you all again soon

    Nothing I can think of.

    The space and everything was top. We initially booked another villa, however Boroski assisted moved us to another one that will suit our group. We were given the whole room to ourselves - we were 8 of us. The kitchen was clean and space was big. Bathroom was well maintained and cleaned. The staffs were very friendly and kind. Comfort collected our laundry and was done on time. We love it here. It was very close to the Corniche beach. We walked around the neighbourhood to explore without any issue.

    Less plates and cups at the kitchen And you can suggest to the guest the food application like talabat, noon if they don't want to go outside thru uae dirham payment only for buying the food.😊

    Comfortable and nearby at the shops, restaurants etc.

    No sign outside, hard to find. Not a traveller vibe hostel. Most of the guests are there for long term work or looking for a job. This makes it hard to meet people. The staff is helpful but it seems that you bother them more than anything.

    Location is good

    Only issue is that their is lot of noise around the ground floor rooms as people are chatting even after 10pm till like 1pm and most of the the room doors are kept open and some time even the lights are on. So it's very difficult to sleep because of this hassle. Might be because the crowd who is staying may not have stayed in the hostel before and don't know the hostel rules.Lots of Arab national like Egyptian and Syrian.

    I have been a regular visitor to this hostel now for almost 9 months .Everyone is very nice.And always tries their best to give the lower bunk bed.Almost every week i book this hostel for 2 nights due to my business trip to Abudhabi. No complain about the staff .

    The wifi was a constant issue while I was there. Most of the people living in the accommodation said they don't use the wifi for this reason. I didn't buy a sim card so I had to suffer through it for working. It was up and down, usually good enough to survive a video call.

    The location is pretty big if you count the entire area of inside and outside which is nice. The working area on the second floor is hard to work from though since the voices from downstairs travel upstairs as well. The bunks in the males only room is nice, they have a locking cabinet underneath just bring your own lock. The beds have curtains as well which is nice. Kitchen is large but most people there cook, so prepare for lots of people in the kitchen. Free coffee water and tea is nice though.
