"This hostel does not exist, there is also no pool or breakfast. Instead, in the neighboring building, people sleep on mattresses on the floor.They sent an email that there were no places in the hostel when we were already on the plane. And when we arrived in Dubai, people in the neighboring building told us to look for other accommodation. Everything that is written about this hostel on the Internet is a lie. Be careful."

"It is in a nice and convenient part of town. They did not have good directions for getting into the property. Did not even explain that there was another bathroom to use with a shower which would have been nice considering the bathrooms were always occupied. Worth the stay, but could have been better. "

" La chambre est telle que la description l’annonce mais l’oreiller et le matelas ne sont pas vraiment propres. Il faudrait mettre un protège-matelas et deux housses car, par transparence, on voit que ce n’est pas net. Pas de clefs aux serrures alors que c’est un hostel ou tout le monde va et vient. Et mixte. Je suis allée prendre une douche mais le tuyau était totalement détruit et donc cela ne sortait pas par la pomme de douche mais par la fente de ce tuyau et donc le début et la projection...
