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. Nadia, the owner, is so sweet. She really made me feel welcome, and her breakfast was great! The hostel is clean and quiet, and the other women there were very nice. It felt like a family there. I would definitely recommend this hostel to any women who are traveling in Riyadh. I felt very safe which is important as a solo female traveler. Each bed also had a locker, so you could put your stuff there if you needed. She also gave us a little welcome package with a disposable towel and some toiletries. I wanted to stay longer, but she did not have availability the next couple of days that I was here. There were also laundry facilities, a game room, and a nice place on the roof to hang out.

Featuring a private bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer, rooms at the hostel also provide guests with a river view. At DoroKa Nubian House, every room is fitted with a seating area. It’s value for money, the staff were all warm and accommodating! Ahmad, the manager helped us arranged the excursions to Abu Simbel and to Luxor. It all went well and felt safe. Both trips require us to get up early, they were so nice to pack up breakfast meals for us. We tried to have dinner and it was delicious, we enjoyed the meat tagine in particular, similar taste to moroccan tagine actually. Internet was working, not so strong but it’s expected so nothing to complain about. The corner room on our last night was weak, it was okay coz we just crash to sleep for our early morning trip. Overall, everything went well and practically just what we need to experience Nubian community. Thanks to everyone for their hospitality.

Located in Riyadh and with Saqr Aljazeera Aviation Museum reachable within 8.1 km, Luxury Hostel provides a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a bar. The property is situated 10 km from Al Nakheel Mall, 16 km from Al Wurud 2 and 17 km from Riyadh Gallery Mall. Al Faisaliah Mall is 20 km from the hostel and Al Rajhi Grand Mosque is 20 km away. Amazing value for money. Beds are clean and isolated (minimal interruptions from roommates). Scented. Pretty comfy mattress. Ports and lamp within the bed space. Good wifi. No blackout times…can access property anytime. The dedicated locker made things much easier. Hangers within the locker as well as shared. Useful shared amenities like iron, microwave, washing machine, dryer,..The bathroom is decent with a shower. Good quiet neighborhood. Uber/careem/bolt doesnt take long. There’s a barber, restaurant, laundry, and 24/7 supermarket very close-by. I have never seen a host who genuinely goes out of the way for guest experience like Faisal do. It’s beyond imagination. In his eyes you are more of a friend than a customer. (Unlike few places, this isnt a review requested by the host. This is out of my genuine experience).

Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, a shared kitchen and room service, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The hostel features city views and a terrace. The hotel is in a privileged location, with stunning views of the Nile and direct access down a set of stairs. The surroundings are peaceful and beautiful, perfect to relax. The room was excellent: spotless, cozy, and tastefully decorated. Asmaa, the owner, was incredibly kind and welcoming. She also cooks wonderfully – if you’re lucky enough to try her traditional homemade food, you’ll truly enjoy it. The breakfasts were fantastic too, and one morning she even prepared a takeaway breakfast for our excursion. I absolutely recommend this place and would love to stay here again
