Marina

this hostel does not exist .

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.
