Clean room & Great location to airport

I stayed here for 1 night on my layover. It is conveniently located only 10 minutes from the DOH airport which was easy. The room was very clean and I also enjoyed the use of a full kitchen. There was always someone available for security as well. Doors have locks. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Great spot with nice service and price !

"Great spot, super clean room, the location cant be beat for the price." Nice space in the lobby to sit. Good outdoor space to chill. Unbeatable location near to international Airport. Specially Mr. Hassan & Mr. Vinu are super helpful. The cots were comfortable and the linens were included. It was actually a neat experience! Overall a quiet and respectful hostel experience.

Hostel host family was lovely. Helpful. Available anytime. Rates were high vs other hostels but Doha is accomodation scarce. Transit very close and connects you to amazing metro! 24hr supermarket 500m away!! Bring your own towel or can rent from them.
