I stayed at Seven Emirates Luxe Hostel – Yas Island Gate recently while dropping my family at the airport, and it turned out to be a convenient and comfortable choice. Location (5/5): One of the biggest advantages of this hostel is its location—just a short drive from Abu Dhabi International Airport. If you're looking for a place to rest before or after a flight, this is an ideal spot. It’s also close to Yas Island attractions like Ferrari World, Yas Mall, and Yas Beach. Convenience (5/5): The check-in process was smooth, and the staff was helpful and polite. It's a no-fuss, budget-friendly option that's great for solo travelers or those on a quick trip. Room & Cleanliness (4/5): The room was clean, air-conditioned, and had everything you need for a short stay. Bathrooms were shared but tidy and functional. Value (5/5): Affordable pricing and great location make it excellent value for money. Perfect for a layover, early flight, or a quick stop in Abu Dhabi. Overall: If you need a simple, clean, and convenient place near the airport or Yas Island, I’d definitely recommend this hostel. It served my purpose perfectly. Rating: 4.5/5

I stayed here because I had a short transit in Abu Dhabi. The hostel is easy to reach with a public transport from the airport. The room, the bathroom, and the living room are all clean, so I was very happy with it. Got a nice, comfortable sleep before continuing my morning flight.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
