I stayed at Seven Emirates Luxe Hostel – Yas Island Gate recently while dropping my family at the airport, and it turned out to be a convenient and comfortable choice. Location (5/5): One of the biggest advantages of this hostel is its location—just a short drive from Abu Dhabi International Airport. If you're looking for a place to rest before or after a flight, this is an ideal spot. It’s also close to Yas Island attractions like Ferrari World, Yas Mall, and Yas Beach. Convenience (5/5): The check-in process was smooth, and the staff was helpful and polite. It's a no-fuss, budget-friendly option that's great for solo travelers or those on a quick trip. Room & Cleanliness (4/5): The room was clean, air-conditioned, and had everything you need for a short stay. Bathrooms were shared but tidy and functional. Value (5/5): Affordable pricing and great location make it excellent value for money. Perfect for a layover, early flight, or a quick stop in Abu Dhabi. Overall: If you need a simple, clean, and convenient place near the airport or Yas Island, I’d definitely recommend this hostel. It served my purpose perfectly. Rating: 4.5/5

Location. It was close to several bus stops from different directions. Friendly and helpful staff who go out of their way to help and can communicate well in English. Safe place to stay specially if you’re a lady. A clean place. Many take away places to eat or mini supermarkets to buy your groceries.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
