At the hostel every room is equipped with air conditioning, a seating area, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a kitchenette, a dining area, a safety deposit box and a private bathroom with a bidet, free toiletries and slippers. All units will provide guests with a desk and a kettle. Ladies hostel is a perfect place to stay. It is safe and comfortable. Gas station around the corner for basic things to buy. The staff is amazing, friendly, helpful. Speaking good enough english for necessary comunication. Of course all are women. Complimentary WIFI (that is working well) besides that water, coffe, tea all the time and by arrival they give you toaleteries and disposable towel. The location is not far from airport, not far from city centre and other attractions. Interior is nice, rooms big enough, bed comfotable, big wardrobe - you get the key. There are no singel rooms, but there is a curtain by the bed so you have enough privacy and not many beds are in the room. The front door is opening with your fingerprint so you don't need a key.The kitchen is big, there is living room, another lounge room on the highest floor with big TV (netflix), a terrace with open roof but walls high enough to have a privacy.There is even a small fitness room.The place has a great wibe. I felt like at home or in the residential comunity. It is nice to meet other women - traveling for business, as tourist or just girls that stay there for longer time going to University. And have possibility to socialise and do sth together - sightseeing, go for coffee. I first booked for 1 night but later stayed more nights. I feel very lucky that I found this place that was such a great experience including freedom of dressing without any worries.The hostel is new on the market. I definetely recommend it. If I come back to Riyadh this is my place to stay :-) MJ

In a region not renowned for backpacking, the owner of this hostel has managed to produce a diamond. The place has a real homely feel , largely thanks to the hostel guests, and the bed spaces are amongst the best I’ve experienced in 200+ hostel stays. Mattress and bedding extremely comfortable. Very spacious. Personal light and sockets. Easy access ladder to top bunk and privacy curtain. Nothing has been omitted.

I was staying there for the second time, and this time for almost a week, and it was a great pleasure. Room was super spacious, and bathroom as well. Other guests are just gold. So many nice people, and nice memories too. The smoking area and the chill are are the best. 10 minutes walk to the beach (but mind that you're not allowed to swim after 18:00) A lot of cheap fast food places with Indian, Egyptian, Pakistani and Afgani cuisine Omar organised a nice play at the beach, with voleyball, Uno and nice music, thank you! Some nice chill cats around as well. When another guest suffered from sun-burn, she was given medicine and taken to a nice place to eat.
