Happyland JBR Dubai Hostel

I got more than i expected

Pros: Location was very good, close to the beach, short walk from the metro and tram, lots of shops around and places to eat. The place was very clean and well maintained and everyone was very respectful, I liked the vibe there, I felt safe at all times. The communication with the host was excelent. I could not recommend this place more.

Cons: I honestly felt sorry that i had to leave.

Was Convenient and Comfortable.

Pros: Host, Common Place, Arrangements, People and Location. Almost Everything was good there. Special Request was Taken Care by Host.

Cons: Nothing.

Definitely will return again!

Pros: Everything was great! Felt very welcomed and comfortable - it was like staying with family. Ahmed is paying a lot of attention to the needs of the guests and maintaining the place. Everything is very clean, kitchen got all you need. Swimming pool water was warmed up so you can swim even in the evening (In January it gets quite chill as sun goes down). Plenty of supermarkets 24/7 in the area, the neighborhood is very safe - very near to the beach. The beach has an open-air free gym. I wish i stayed longer. When i return to Dubai - i know where i will stay :)

Cons: It's a bit unfair that the upper and lower beds are same prices, but the lower bed has more advantages - like, besides the fact you don't have to climb up, - you've got access to the plug and have curtains (which not only give you privacy, but also save you form sudden lights on at night and the a/c cold wind). However the stairs are with handles and are comfortable to climb, and the bed itself was very nice - comfy mattress and pillow, and warm blanket.

Pros: Friendly staff, clean environment , clean ablutions and the location

Must stay in Dubai

Pros: MUST-STAY @Dubai which i ve stayed at a wonderful hostel in Dubai and had an amazing experience. I was able to check in early, which was a big plus after a long trip. The host, Ahmet, was incredibly kind and helpful in every way. This place feels like much more than just a hostel or hotel — Ahmet treats everyone like an older brother would, always supportive, friendly, and genuinely caring. It truly feels like a family-run place. The common areas have a very warm atmosphere where guests feel like family. The shared kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might need — all utensils and materials are available and more than sufficient. I felt very comfortable, welcomed, and at home during my stay. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Dubai and looking for a friendly, cozy, and well-managed accommodation.

Pros: The host’s behavior was excellent. The place was very clean and hygienic, with all facilities provided. I have not experienced such a comfortable and well-maintained bunk bed in the past year of staying in Dubai.

Cons: Limited space to our stuffs

Pros: Excellent place and very very clean. The host and staff went over and above to meet my needs. It truly is a place away from home. It has a great vibe! The place is close to eatries, restaurants and supermarkets. It is also a few metres away from the tram station.

Cons: Everything was excellent.

Great stay

Pros: What a social hostel and nice vibe! The host was very nice, friendly and open to meeting new people and exchanging conversation! I was able to gain further insight into the life in Dubai, thanks to people being open-minded and friendly. It feels more like staying at someone's flat, rather than a hostel. Some people are there for short-term stay, some people for longer stay. There is separate bedroom for girls (3 bunk beds in one room, 2 bunk beds in another) and a separate bedroom for guys. Each room has its own bathroom. There is also a kitchen and a chill/living area. It is very clean.

Cons: I enjoyed my stay here. It was a lovely and welcoming environment where I met a bunch of people with whom I hung out and exchanged conversations. Just maybe one suggestion: to have some rules around using the TV and noise level. The chill area represents a great environment for hanging out as well as co-working space. However, it can be greatly interrupted when someone has a TV turned on the whole day, until 3am. There should be headphones connected to the TV for people who wish to engage with it, still giving space to others to use the area for other purposes. There are plenty of plug ins in the chill area, however, it was quite disappointing finding out there were no plug ins next to the bed (as they usually are in a hostel). Maybe something to change, if possible ..? I wish the beds were more comfortable. I still had a good sleep but the mattress was very firm.

Happyland? Happy days

Pros: Good chilled vibe staff very friendly I wasnt expecting to be invited for dinner on sunday nice surprise

Cons: Clean af very close to the beach and marina

Highly Recommend

Pros: This place was so wonderful and clean, the atmosphere was amazing. The location is the best as it in between the beach and marina, close to tram and metro, bus route just outside the building. The pics are actually really how the place looks. Very well run and maintained , I felt safe. The pool and gym was the cherry on top for me. Thanks so much guys, I will definitely be back and will recommend all my friends and family.

Cons: I liked everything besides the fact that I had to leave.
