They need to fleet the beds bad bugs,and the staff friendliness to guest
You can not expect 5 star hotel for that money. Friendly and nice staff. Rooms very nice and clean. Close to supermarket And bus stop. I would come back again next time
They will make u feel like you are in yiur house the staff are kind and everyone there is good even the other surfers and also security and not a lot of beds per room , just the place they r located is kinda bad for transportation metro is 10QR by uber and dining only indian store
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!
During the World Cup I stayed here for 3 days and I really liked it because it was close to the center of Doha. The people was also really friendly and giving!
Easy location for a budget hostel perspective. Owner and staff are nice. Nearby airport n food n metro. Satisfies all requirements of budget hostel stay
This is an excellent, high quality, unbeatable value option for single adults on a budget. Staff are excellent, helpful, and friendly. Venue is neat, spotless and homely, in a quiet neighborhood that is well served by easy shopping. Highly recommend.
"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.

I would like to leave a review about this hostel – it is absolutely terrible. It’s completely unsuitable for travelers. The room was dirty, the bed sheets hadn’t been washed in weeks, there was trash lying around, and the bathroom was incredibly filthy. I definitely do not recommend staying here

Hostel host family was lovely. Helpful. Available anytime.
Rates were high vs other hostels but Doha is accomodation scarce. Transit very close and connects you to amazing metro! 24hr supermarket 500m away!!
Bring your own towel or can rent from them.
