Set within 17 km of Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and 19 km of Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Centre, Top House Hostel provides rooms in Abu Dhabi. The property is located 28 km from Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital, 29 km from Al Wahda Mall and 31 km from Ferrari World Abu Dhabi. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi.

At the hostel, every room has a wardrobe and a balcony with a city view. At Top House Hostel the rooms come with air conditioning and a safety deposit box. One of my best hostel experiences yet! The hosts are kind and amazing, had a great time, and can't recommend them enough! The rooms are exactly right, there's AC, the sheets are extreeemely smooth and comfy. Location wise, it's around 1h away from main attractions. However, you find everything you need nearby and there are plenty of cabs/ buses taking you where you need to go. From the European perspective, you'll find the mattresses a bit hard and the wet toilets, well, wet. But it's normal the further East you go, so do not expect these aspects to change elsewhere. (Saw a lot of reviews mentioning these things as a minus point, though they're a normal part of the traveling experience.)
