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. This was by far the best hostel I ever stayed in. Both the owner/host and the staff are amazing individuals, going above and beyond providing the best hospitality to their guests. The hostel is next to a bus stop that gets you to Al Hamra metro station, which has two metro lines. The bus works regularly and is easily tracked on Google Maps. There is a big 24h open supermarket across the road which is as convenient as it can get. The street the hostel is on is always full of life. It is impossible not to feel safe here. People are all smiling and busy eating or shopping around, which makes the whole hostel feel homier. Water is now provided with a dispenser, which is really convenient. Tufail makes sure that the place is always tidy and clean, and he does an amazing job doing it. While each may have a different experience, in my 9 days here, I did not wait for anyone to use the toilet, it was always free when I needed it. Maybe I am lucky, or maybe as travellers with some flexibility it is ideal not to use the WC around early morning and after work hours, when it could be busier. The bed is so good it deserves specific praise. I slept as good as I did back home here, and that is a rarity. I think it is slightly larger than a normal bed as well, because I was comfortable moving around in it a bit. Mattress was the finest as well. There is one USB C and one USB A charging socket right by your bed, which was all I needed for my charging needs. I did not spend too much time in the hostel since I wanted to see Riyadh as much as possible but whenever I returned here, I was greeted by friendly hostel mates that never made any noticeable noise. The host installed some sort of sound proofing on doors so thanks to those you will have an excellent sleep regardless of whether someone makes a noise in the general room or not. The place is really clean, and most importantly, there are no bugs etc.

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. This beautiful guesthouse hosted by the most wonderful lady has an incredible view of the Nile. The facilities are clean and the bed and pillows are very comfortable. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and she was kind enough to make us a superb dinner too as we were too tired from our travels to go out. The lovely host is responsive and happy to organise cheap transport for you to go wherever you need in Aswan. It might seem out of the way but the location is perfect for all the sights. I would 100% return here to enjoy the beautiful view, the delicious home cooked food, and the company of the wonderful hostess.
