SSaki TakiThere is a bus stop right in front of the hostel, and it is a 30-minute bus ride from the airport and about 15 minutes by bus to the metro Stadium station.
It is in a quiet area, and there is a shopping mall just a 10-minute walk away, so you won't have any trouble shopping.
The dormitory was clean and there was plenty of storage space.
It would have been better if there was a hairdryer, but the people I shared a room with were friendly and it was a nice stay.

Eenjoylife-atsuThe location is excellent, very close to Emirates Mall and the station. There's also a supermarket nearby. It was surprisingly quiet at night. The shower had good hot water and strong pressure, which was a plus.
The only downsides were the plastic cover still on the bed, which made a crinkling sound whenever I moved, and the annoying flies in the kitchen.

ZziyeThe hotel is fantastic, the rooms are clean and tidy, and the service is warm and thoughtful! When I checked in, I mentioned I had a lot of luggage, and the front desk proactively upgraded my room and gave me a small gift. They really paid attention to the details. The breakfast was varied and the transportation was convenient. I'll definitely come back next time!

GGuest User+ quite central location in Deira near metro station
+ dorm lies towards the backyard, not towards the street
+ quite friendly employees
+ grocery stores and hypermarket nearby
+ i had power sockets near my bed without needing an adapter
+ curtains for lower and upper bunkbeds
+ good wifi
• hostel lies in the approach path of the airport. So you hear airplane noise from time to time
- hard mattress, did hurt somewhat on the bones
- basic shower and bathroom
- several cockroaches mainly in the kitchen but also in the dorm
- no duvet cover for the blanket
- blanket and pillow case were smelly. i don’t think that they are washed after every guest’s check-out.
- you feel it in your bunk bed when the person above or below you moves

GGuest UserI took a capsule for an overnight transfer. If you're 174 cm tall, you won't fit in the capsule lengthwise; your legs will be hanging loose. The capsules are all shabby; they're clean, but very decrepit and flimsy. You can hear snoring from the next capsule and every little rustle. But the worst thing is the COLD. It's just so cold in there, it's impossible to sleep. They give you a thin blanket, but in a thick sweatshirt and sweatpants, it was terribly cold. When I told the staff it was cold, they said, ”Yes, we know it's very cold, we're very cold too, sorry.”
Basically, it was a waste of money.
There's no toilet. No water.

AAnonymous UserAdvantages: High cost-performance ratio, the villa is quite new, and the facilities are all complete.
Disadvantages: It's far from the city center and requires transportation, but it seems they offer free shuttle service to the subway station.
All of the above assumes a normal stay, because one night the host had to put us in an outdoor tent due to too many guests. Yes, you heard right.

MMuhammadomarrI had a really enjoyable stay at this hostel. The staff were incredibly friendly and always willing to help. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the common areas had a great atmosphere to relax and meet other travelers.
The location was perfect — close to public transport, restaurants, and main attractions. I also appreciated the lockers and secure access, which made me feel safe during my stay.
Overall, it was excellent value for money, and I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Tteruvat Kunnil Mohammed RafiThe location is excellent, and overall the facilities are acceptable. Cleanliness and amenities are average and fine for a short stay.
Please note that the hotel requires a cash deposit at check-in. However, the refund of this deposit is very inconvenient. The refund depends entirely on staff availability, and reception staff is not always present, especially in the evening and at night.
In my case, I was told to wait until midnight or even 1:00–2:00 AM to get my deposit refunded, which is not reasonable, especially for guests with early morning departures.
Staff professionalism and service organization need improvement. Apart from these service issues, everything else was okay

ДДарьяExcellent new hostel, clean, well maintained, pleasant staff, comfortable beds, bathrooms separated for men's and women's, light breakfast. Of the minuses, the beds are wobbly, towels are 20 AED. Otherwise a very good hostel.
Since it is new, it is difficult to find, it is located on the 9th floor of an apartment building, the reception did not know about this hostel, I had to call and check the apartment number.
