    I did not like some pots. They were damaged. My suggestion is switching to steel.

    I felt safe and relaxed. There was moments I laughed so much while socializing as well as some alone and quite time to think. The decorations the first I liked when I got there.

    I wish I could turn the conditioner off during the night but it didn’t really bother.

    I loved chatting with both guests and staff. Mahmoud is a really funny and kind host. The staff is super helpful and I miss my stay at FJH.

    It's all excellent, it's just that there are different cultures, different thoughts, different women and so many women. It's normal for you to get a little overwhelmed, but it's okay.

    I have been to many hotels and some are not always like the photos but this is it!!!!!

The location of the place and the view is perfect where i have to every place and facility 4. Great value for money and well located a short walk to the beach 5. Very clean room. Shared bathroom and kitchen well maintained. Helpful staff, good atmosphere If i come back to Dubai , I will definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!

    The best accommodation a single female traveller can find in Dubai

    If you are a female travelling alone of with female friend(s) and you want to explore Dubai and, why not?, make new friends, this is the place to stay. The location is the best to explore one of the most vibrant areas of Dubai by feet (been an ex-resident of Dubai, I’m familiar with most of the areas), and the apartment, even though it has shared rooms, provides all the amenities you need to feel comfortable and at home. 100% recommended and will definitely come back!

    The hostel is a VIBE! The best energy I’ve felt from all of the hostels I visited in Dubai. Good location. The owner brings his puppy sometimes and that’s definitely a PLUS. Nights are fun watching movies, having conversations, having dinner together or going out. The owner and his team make everything smooth and easy. I highly recommend

    It was a shame that it didn't seem very clean overall - I saw dust and dirt in the bathrooms and the bins hadn't been taken out for quite a while either. Also, there seemed to be people sleeping on the sofa/couch who didn't seem to move much which felt a bit uncomfortable and unhygienic.

    The best thing about the hostel was the extremely helpful staff, they were exceptional - especially one wonderful guy named Mahmoud who went above and beyond helping me from the beginning. I had issues with my bags because of the floods and he went out of his way to make sure my things were safe and got delivered to me in perfect order. I can't thank him enough!
