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.

Hostel in Quiet Residential Location

Hostel is located in a quiet residential neighborhood within a large two-storey house with easy access to the free metro link busses and a 15 minute walk to the bustling "Bangkok type" Al Matar Al Qadeem Street" The owner Hassan kindly collected me from the Metro Station and showed me around local area, vicinity and brought me to the hostel. I spent over two weeks here. Rooms have all basics including air conditioning. The place is not perfect and not without some minor issues but of good value for budget travellers visiting the heart of Doha. Regardless of anything of most value is the intention of the staff, Ahsan, continuously trying to ensure I was happy and working hard to provide a clean, comfortable environment on a daily basis for me & all of the hostel guests! Thanks to Ali aswell for also accomodating me so kindly and being available when required. Hope to see you all again soon in Doha!

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.
