    Bathroom is not very well tbh and surrounding place is not comfortable

    Staff are with good behaviour (Egyptian guy that owns the place) They provide water tank for drinking so no need to go out to buy water Very good value for money ( cheapest hostel i went to )

    1. No obvious sign of the hostel, really hard to find it 2. Not clean. Toilets and room aren't clean. In the room it is dark In general, it is a creepy place, i wouldn't recommend it

    friendly staff, the japanese girl working here is really kind and helpful, she makes my stay pleasant I am happy that I have met some kind people here

    There was a leak in our bathroom - from the ceiling. We reported it but nothing was done about it. Of course, we could have followed up on this and chose not to because there was only one night remaining.

    First of all, we were upgraded to a bigger room free of charge when we arrived. While we did not need this, it was so thoughtful and we really appreciated having so much space (and a fridge!). The staff were always responsive when we approached them. The person who came to offer for our room to be cleaned was particularly friendly and kind. The entire area was very clean. It was easy to find taxis and buses near the hotel, and there was also a little shop and restaurant nearby.

    People were smoking outside of the room and smell comes inside. And there is no elevator. So if you are with big luggages, you are in trouble..

    The host was good and welcoming. Place was cheap.

    A bit noisy in the evening. People go to bed late and can hear them talk.

    I enjoyed the atmosphere here. The staff was eager to help and accommodate us. Friendly fellow travelers. Near metro and shops. Really clean compared to another hostel I tried, you basically must take your shoes off once you get in. All facilities work properly. I think it is the best value for the money in Dubai.

    Dark and tiny common area. The manager enjoyed watching TV in the dark. My eyes suffered a lot while using my laptop in the dark. I ended up using my laptop in my room with light on. This is not a hostel, but a worker dorm. Over 95% males. Job seekers...whoever... I saw Cochroaches... No locks, no door bell, anyone can come in. But there is one security camera at common area. Room is too tiny. Tooooo tiny. You can not enjoy the free ground in the middle of room. False rating of 8.6. I think workers dorm should only earn 7 to 7.5. Anything above 8.0 must have proper common area, normal size room and good security.

    Quiet night. Good sleep. Free drinking water.

    The store here is dirty and messy. No one greets you after you take money. No one responds to messages you send. There is no store name at the door. You don’t even know if you are a guest or someone who will trick you into going to another hotel on the second floor. It’s disgusting.

    Staying at sphinx hostel was an absolute delight! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality. The hostel itself was impeccably clean and had a vibrant atmosphere that immediately made me feel at home. Ahmad, the manager, was incredibly friendly and went out of his way to ensure that all guests had a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Whether it was providing insider tips on local attractions or simply engaging in friendly conversation, I left feeling refreshed and grateful for such a wonderful experience. If you're looking for a memorable stay with exceptional hospitality, this place is for you
