If you want bare bones hostel. This is your spot. Everything was clean but I had a few minor issues that annoyed me. People do not respect the quiet hours which was annoying because there’s no sound proofing so you can hear everything all the time. Staff were friendly when they were around.

Overall it’s a good hostel if you are here to visit Riyadh. Location is good. Staff good. But it’s not very clean as he should be (specially the shower…)

THIS IS A NICE HOSTEL, MANAGED AND ASSISTED BY PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE. IT HAS EVERYTHING THAT TRAVELLER CAN NEED. VERY CLEAN AND FUNCTIONAL FACILITIES. ABOUT VALUE FOR THE PRICE, IT IS CONFORTABLE, ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS (RIGHT FOR THE TRAVELLER). THE NEGATIVE SIDE: NO INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO GET THERE, AND SINCE THE NAME OF THE STREETS ARE NOT IN A NON ARABIC LETTERS TOO. IT IS DIFFICULT TO FIND. IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW THE NUMBER 13. THE SIGN IS HARDLY VISIBLE. A BIGGER SIGN WOULD BE IDEAL. DARIO USA
