All units in the hostel are 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. At نجد هاوس - نساء فقط Ladies Hostel every room is equipped with a shared bathroom and bed linen.

Ladies hostel is a perfect place to stay. It is safe and comfortable. Gas station around the corner for basic things to buy. The staff is amazing, friendly, helpful. Speaking good enough english for necessary comunication. Of course all are women. Complimentary WIFI (that is working well) besides that water, coffe, tea all the time and by arrival they give you toaleteries and disposable towel. The location is not far from airport, not far from city centre and other attractions. Interior is nice, rooms big enough, bed comfotable, big wardrobe - you get the key. There are no singel rooms, but there is a curtain by the bed so you have enough privacy and not many beds are in the room. The front door is opening with your fingerprint so you don't need a key.The kitchen is big, there is living room, another lounge room on the highest floor with big TV (netflix), a terrace with open roof but walls high enough to have a privacy.There is even a small fitness room.The place has a great wibe. I felt like at home or in the residential comunity. It is nice to meet other women - traveling for business, as tourist or just girls that stay there for longer time going to University. And have possibility to socialise and do sth together - sightseeing, go for coffee. I first booked for 1 night but later stayed more nights. I feel very lucky that I found this place that was such a great experience including freedom of dressing without any worries.The hostel is new on the market. I definetely recommend it. If I come back to Riyadh this is my place to stay :-) MJ
