Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Everything was good right from the location, to cleanliness, facilities, good staff behaviour. It’s located just 5 mins walking distance from Al Wahada bus terminal which is the most important bus terminal in Abu Dhabi. From there you get bus for everywhere including Dubai. The hostel has kitchen where you can cook. Lots of cheap restaurants nearby also.

    The worst staff the I never found in 15 years of travels, the famale manager in front of the dormitory talk loudly about of my cheapest choice of room, I just requested if a lower bed was available and the answer was: “You pay the cheapest choice on booking you deserve the upper bed” I NEVER HEARD SOMETHING LIKE THAT, AND THERE ISN’T IN THE STATEMENT OF BOOKING, otherwise upper bed was totally unsafe cause there aren’t barriers (look the photos)
