Hawana Hostel

The balconies all have captivating views of the marina, and the location makes nearby attractions easy to reach. My room at Hawana Hostel was spotless, nicely decorated, and had modern amenities. Bilge greeted me warmly and made me feel welcome the whole time. The comfortable atmosphere made it easy either to explore the city or just relax there. I left feeling rested and already looking forward to coming back. A wonderful stay in Dubai marina. Cheers!

The manager and owner were attentive and easy to reach, making sure things were taken care of. They also created a friendly, relaxed atmosphere that made me feel at home. Hawana Hostel has a welcoming environment and a great location close to everything you need. I'd recommend it for a top notch hostel experience.

I've been at Hawana for a month and plan to extend my stay. I'd tried plenty of hostels in Dubai before a friend told me about it, and this is easily the best in town. It's very clean and has a vibe you'll love, with balconies overlooking palm jumeirah and beautiful sunset views. Ramadan, the host, is very cooperative, and Mohammad, the owner, is decent and helpful. Keep up the good work, guys. I highly recommend this place.

The beds make a lot of noise with even the smallest movement. In just 10 days, money was stolen from rooms three times. The host never warned us that this had happened or that the place was unsafe, so there was no transparency. First he told me they accepted only CASH, but after my money was stolen, he said digital bank payment was also possible. The owner is very incompetent, passive about the issue, and unwilling to accept constructive feedback. If I had a little more money, I'd move to a hostel without thieves and with cameras in the halls, so we'd know who entered the room and took the money. If you're smart, spend 20-30 AED more a night and find a better hostel in Marina.
