Located in Riyadh and with Saqr Aljazeera Aviation Museum reachable within 8.1 km, Luxury Hostel provides a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a bar. The property is situated 10 km from Al Nakheel Mall, 16 km from Al Wurud 2 and 17 km from Riyadh Gallery Mall. Al Faisaliah Mall is 20 km from the hostel and Al Rajhi Grand Mosque is 20 km away. In a region not renowned for backpacking, the owner of this hostel has managed to produce a diamond. The place has a real homely feel , largely thanks to the hostel guests, and the bed spaces are amongst the best I’ve experienced in 200+ hostel stays. Mattress and bedding extremely comfortable. Very spacious. Personal light and sockets. Easy access ladder to top bunk and privacy curtain. Nothing has been omitted.

Set within 19 km of Aga Khan Mausoleum and 4.3 km of Nubian Museum, Nubian Hights guesthouse offers rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Ash Shallāl. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, a shared kitchen and room service, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The hostel features city views and a terrace. The hotel is in a privileged location, with stunning views of the Nile and direct access down a set of stairs. The surroundings are peaceful and beautiful, perfect to relax. The room was excellent: spotless, cozy, and tastefully decorated. Asmaa, the owner, was incredibly kind and welcoming. She also cooks wonderfully – if you’re lucky enough to try her traditional homemade food, you’ll truly enjoy it. The breakfasts were fantastic too, and one morning she even prepared a takeaway breakfast for our excursion. I absolutely recommend this place and would love to stay here again
