I love the room which is very clean & nice. They also provide you a smart tv with Netflix and have a very strong connection of Wifi. The view from the outside is stunning because you are on the 50th floor. I got room with a gaming chair so yes I love it 😂❤️ There are plenty of snacks, instant mee, & frozen food (Yes have to pay Qr). If you want to cook, there are also utensils for you. Beside that, you can wash ur clothes too here with their Washing machine.

Great place! Nothing to complain about. It even has free coffee, and it's walking distance to the twin towers. They were nice even before my arrival as they gave me exceptional directions on how to get there. Unfortunately I only stayed for a couple of nights Highly recommended!

The breakfast was good. I liked the facilities. They have the whole library and board games, and overall very chic and comfy atmosphere. I enjoyed my time there. Will come back for sure. Also, there is an elevator available, so if you have heavy bags or can't walk, I think, that's the right place. Although you need to maintain cleanliness yourself as well. Like wearing clean shoes, if anything, they give you slippers.

Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    I had a very pleasant experience at the Hostel, the view is wonderful, the staff is kind and attentive, the structure of the building is great with an infinity pool, laundry, mini market. The Hostel was full of backpackers, so it was great to socialize and meet new people. The location is very privileged, close to the train station and 5 minutes walking distance to the shopping mall.

    The host is so friendly and helpful! The hostel is in a great location - so close to the shopping area and metro. It’s so clean and there’s plenty of space in your bunk! I did my laundry here too and it was so cheap and came back so quickly and so clean! Would definitely stay here again.

    Very clean, well located. Easy to get coffee downstairs and basic groecries in 7/11. Easy area for taxi pick up , in area which feels safe at all times. Good beds, showers, all great. I was intimidated by description of 20 beds per room, but actually very quiet and clean and neat, so doesn’t feel overcrowded at all! One of the best hostels i stayed at
