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!

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.

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.

Beware that this hostel is not really centric. Nevertheless, tt is connected to Ibn-Nafie through the bus M125. It is used more than by tourists by immigrants while managing their visas. The mood is not especially funny. No lockers. The toilet was not clean the days I visited it. If you want a simple and affordable stopover stay it may be your option, but be aware that it may not reach your standard.

They have charged us more than what we have agreed on. It is not a real hostel. Not safe and no CCTV available. Terrible service or no service at all. There is nothing good I can say about it. I dont know where the good reviews cane from and thats why we booked. I have been around hostels but not as messed up operation as this.
