The informality. Easy check in
When Ur not able to go to a toilet without getting wet feed (its more then water) because obviously ppl go with shoes eventually. A stay misses the basics. But maybe my standards to high not going hostels that much.

the place is exceptionally clean and quiet. kitchen facilities are a plus. open air sitting area is an edge
there is no under bed lockers as shown in pictures. its a safe location but there should be under bed drawer lockers.

For this money it is an excellent choise! Administrators were very friendly and helpful, the kitchen was great with a lot of staff for cooking, also comfortable shared rooms on 1st and second floor. I really like this hostel!
And yes - it is situated near the beach - what a great position!
I don't know what to write here. Maybe you can add some more games in shared room (like chess, etc), but it is just my wish.

The place has its own privacy due to some curtains on every bed. Huge open space room for time to kill or mobile work. Living room has its tv and kitchen is big. The terrace has a good atmosphere just to unwind. Next to so many eateries few minutes away. You won't feel the bed above you. City center is not far away.
I have nothing to complain except travellers think they paid like a lot of money and expecting too much.

I really enjoyed the calm and friendly atmosphere at The Villa Hostel. The staff were very welcoming, helpful, and always available whenever I needed anything. The common areas were clean, organized, and comfortable, and the beds were private with good curtains. The location is excellent—quiet, safe, and close to everything in Abu Dhabi. It felt like a very homely place to relax after a busy day.
There is nothing major to complain about, but sometimes the shared areas could get a bit busy during peak hours. Otherwise, everything was good and well managed.

Probably better pillows to make it perfect and fixing the hot shower in one of the washrooms

Reception available around clock. Nice staff. Each bed has its own electric outlet and light. Clean room.
I expected more since the reviews rating was high for the property. They have no shoes inside policy which was not mentioned befor so I wasn't prepared and they didn't have a spare slippers. The bathroom was clean but very small you have to set sideways to use the WC, I don't recommend booking the 6 male room with private bathroom. Very crowded with 6 to 8 people per room. Parking is very difficult to find especially after 10 pm. They didn't provide towel even they mentioned i. The website.

Beds have curtains, little lamp and locker. Materac quite hard, not the worst one, but I've slept on better ones. At least you don't drawn in it.
Clean toilets and helpful staff
Once I've arrived there was a rubble inside bathtub. After one day it disappeared but was quite shocking seeing that.
Curtain under the shower should be replaced by the new one.

Nice hostel, in a quiet and central area.
The rooms are big enough and clean. Bathrooms are cleaned daily.
Nice common area with a kitchen and a big fridge.
Too bad bathrooms are not separated for men and women
Also, noisy in the common area but still nice.

The location is good; close to the bus stops, grocery store, malls and the corniche. In 10 min, you can be at the beach. My dorm has its own bathroom which was nice. Electrical socket, night lamp, curtains and lockers in bedroom. Luggage storage provided. Full kitchen available.
I didn't feel comfortable in the hotel. The vibe is weird, it seems people stay long periods of time, they work in the city and sleep here. I had expected more of traveler's hostel. The crowd is older, the common area is small and loud, no windows in dorm, full AC the whole time, bathroom is humid. The receptionist wasn't friendly nor helpful. I had booked a female dorm and were put me in a mixed one.

Eben, Mary & Irene are keeping it amazingly friendly, and the place is always spotless clean.
Water, tea, and coffee are complimentary, and the area is packed with good restaurants and supermarkets. There is a common area to eat, watch TV but there is also a quiet work area. The location is walking distance from the beach as well.
Nothing really, place is a find!

The staff were very helpful even when I checked in at 01:00, wifi was strong, free water, the shower was great hot water and very clean added bonus was the the rain shower head (bottom floor)
Very happy about my stay here and will return in a month’s time!
The location might be a little tricky but I managed to find it even at 01:00

Located close to Corniche beach, popular fastfood restaurants and supermarkets around. The staff are friendly and making nice conversation with funny jokes. A private courtyard to rest but its open without a shade, could be hot to sit there during daytime. Dormitories are well conditioned and clean. Kitchen has all necessary to cook your food.
Bunk beds are metallic. I expected wooden ones. Property has only one bathroom on each floor compared to high number of guests it is not enough. I used to wait 30 minutes sometimes to use the bathroom.

Location is good
No sign outside, hard to find. Not a traveller vibe hostel. Most of the guests are there for long term work or looking for a job. This makes it hard to meet people. The staff is helpful but it seems that you bother them more than anything.

The location is pretty big if you count the entire area of inside and outside which is nice. The working area on the second floor is hard to work from though since the voices from downstairs travel upstairs as well.
The bunks in the males only room is nice, they have a locking cabinet underneath just bring your own lock. The beds have curtains as well which is nice.
Kitchen is large but most people there cook, so prepare for lots of people in the kitchen. Free coffee water and tea is nice though.
The wifi was a constant issue while I was there. Most of the people living in the accommodation said they don't use the wifi for this reason. I didn't buy a sim card so I had to suffer through it for working. It was up and down, usually good enough to survive a video call.

It is a good place to stay, with great internet speed and a very friendly atmosphere of young people the place has a good social life. I have enjoyed the stay

Staff is always very welcoming and nice. The villa is really giving home vibes. Bunk beds have all you can expect: sockets, light, curtains 👍 Lively living room.
Like in every hostel, having to share the bathroom is sometimes not so convenient 😅

It was SUPER clean, everyone respect the rules, the rooms were quiet, big tv on livingroom, grocery store near, clean kitchen, table for eating next to livingroom and a space specially for work upstairs:) very nice stay
The staff sometimes answer like they are angry but I think that's just the way they are, they solved any doubt I had:)

Perfect location (a few minutes walk from the beach and a nice park, plenty of nice and affordable restaurants nearby). Spacious room with big storage for the luggage. Nice common area and patio. Well equipped kitchen. Vibrant atmosphere. Good price/quality value.
During the first night the light in the room was switched on throughout the entire night. Me and other guests tried to find the light switch but unsuccessfully. During the day with the receptionist support we figured out that it was behind the bed (it was necessary to push the entire buk strongly back to have access). In this regard bad ergonomy.
Hostel WiFi is very unreliable.

Beds in rooms for multiple people had curtains above them for privacy which was really cool. Rooms were dark late into the day for folks who wanted to sleep in. AC worked well (really hot summer) Staff was friendly and so were the people who stayed at the hostel. Also the hostel was in a good location in the downtown, gym and supermarket nearby.
The mini-lockers for wallets, documents etc. could be easily broken open with your bare hands so not very safe. (though there's camera's everywhere too, so maybe it's not that bad) That's the only issue I had. I had a wonderful stay and thank you very much for one of the best holidays in my life ! :)

Located well (Emirates Palace, Qasr Al-Watan), easy walking distance to Corniche Beach, very sociable Hostel and easy to meet people. Very helpful, nice staff.
Limited availability of bathrooms. Cleanliness of bathrooms is so-so. Bed is quite hard.

I like the location, where it is easy to go to the bus station and the beach is nearby. Besides that, the neighborhood is quiet, so I think the place is good.

The employees were very good, friendly, caring and helpful. Especially Joy is a wonderful person.
The number of bathrooms and toilets is insufficient and you have to wait in line. If this issue can be overcome, it's a great place.

The team is violent in its dealings, chases money, and does not care about its comfort. The bathroom is very, very dirty, not cleaned, and smells very bad. The bed is dirty and the hair of the customers before you is on it (((It probably won't be replaced)))))
