    For the price you pay is good. This could be a perfect accomodation, but need some improovements.

    Pillows were so Big and hard - we are not used to have such pillows, therefore we couldnt sleep good and also two saparate beds for kids were very hard. The bed was cover with bed linen just on the bottom, but you didnt get bed linen for covering, you covered yourself with just a blanket, with no bed linen. The equipment is quite old, in the kitchen there is no knife to use it for spreading cheese or Nutella. The bathroom has a strange shower which makes Water leaking around, the toilet cover was broken. There is no Windows with daily light in the apartma. Air condition was quite noisy. The accomodation is good for a night or two, but not for more. Dont expect to much, it is a Simple accomodation, for a day or two if you need to Explore Abu Dhabi and you are mostly outside, you dont need more. Overall for the price you pay it is OK.

    Very Big, spacy room, good location, close to the Al Wahda Mall, quiet and Safe neighborhood, close to the Central bus station, close to the main road Where can you quickly get a taxi. The owner is very kind and quickly response on questions. The price is very convenient. Easy check in and out.

    You must contact the owner in advance (I didn’t). I ended up arriving to a very calmed building. I messaged the owner through the booking app and he soon replied. He quickly came and led me into my room. It was part of another building close the one shown on maps. It was a strange place where there were lots of Philipinos living in super small rooms. To me it was a little weird and probably something not regulated. The room was nice but I didn’t feel comfortable know that close to me, in a similar 2x5m room there were like 10 people sleeping and living with almost no space. I wouldn’t come back here

    The room was nice and the only cheap price of the area.

    It is nearby the Central Terminal about 1.5KM. You can either take Taxi or Walk. It is in the neighbourhood area. The Taxi fare is about AED10. Thanks.

    Bathroom could be slightly more clean.

    Very good connection from the airport, friendly host, flexible check in time, and especially location is a huge advantage as all necessary buses are located just 5 minutes away by walk. In general in this price its really good option.

    There was no water supply for drinking. We thought there would be drinking water around. It was awkward to find that there was no water to drink in the middle of the night, as we checked in late evening. I consent that it is our fault to not bring water ourselves, However, as basic necessity, ensuring drinking water provision would have been great. The shower was broken, and I hope it is fixed now. The elder promised that he would fix it.

    Friendly staff. No noise, a quiet place with a relaxing atmosphere.
