Everything was great. Near to beach and JBR walk is fabulous, especially in the night time. Other guests were good, we become a group in no time. I really liked the staff Ali and housekeeping girl Imma, they were very nice, kind and welcoming. I lived here for a week. Special thank to the host, Ali. He is cool and friendly, suggested me lot of good places. Helped me with some visa issues. Best memories, best hostel in Dubai.
