A Great Place to Stay – Affordable, Friendly, and Well-Located!I had a wonderful time staying here! The location is perfect—close to everything but still quiet enough to relax. The views are lovely, and the price is very reasonable for what you get.The place offers both bunk beds in dorm-style rooms and cozy private rooms, which is great depending on your budget or mood. There’s also a shared kitchen and bathroom, both kept clean and functional.What I loved most was the friendly atmosphere. The staff are super helpful and welcoming, and I met travelers from all over the world—such a great place to connect with people. If youre looking for a laid-back, affordable stay with good vibes, this is the spot!

I have stayed here for nearly 3 months. Extended my stay 3 times. The location primarily is wonderful with a beautiful masjid nearby. The service by the house keeper and manager 1st by Satveer and Lwin respectively and then Peter , who played the dual role of house keeper and manager have been excellent. For me the main priority has always been cleanliness and having my own bed space to work anytime of the day. I really felt comfortable which is understandable considering I have extended my stay the same place thrice. Also special mention to the management team of Brijesh and Shahil for understanding my requirements every now and then.

5 stars – Great experience at Urban Panda Marina!I had a wonderful stay at Urban Panda Marina. Peter was super friendly and helpful throughout my stay — he even took great care of my luggage after checkout, which I really appreciated. The hostel had a very welcoming and social vibe, with lots of kind and interesting people around. Plus, the location is excellent — close to major attractions and easy to get around from.Highly recommended for solo travelers and backpackers visiting Dubai!

It was my first time staying in a hostel, and overall, it was a great experience. I really enjoyed the place, especially its location—you could even see the beach from the balcony! What stood out the most, though, was Peter (the host). He was incredibly welcoming, had a positive attitude, and was always helpful. He made sure the place was clean and well-organized, and he was available whenever needed.There were just a couple of minor downsides: the space was a bit small, and the building security seemed somewhat aggressive. But despite that, I had a pleasant stay!

I quite enjoyed my stay at the hostel, especially because of Peter the manager, that I ended up extending my stay from 1 week to 3 weeks. He was always attentive and helpful, keeping an eye on everything and everyone at the hostel.When it comes to the facilities: The female dorm room is quiet and comfortable with locking cabinets and closets, and curtains on the lower bunk beds which I quite appreciated. It would have been better that the bathroom is inside the room, and then it would have been kept cleaner. Peter did his best to keep everything in order but I suppose it is expected when a hostel has too many guests that not everything will be perfect. I would still definitely book here on my return to dubai as the location is also convenient, close to JBR and public transportation.

I have stayed 2 days here on my vacation, and had an amazing experience. The center point of Dubai is nearer to the tram, metro, restaurant, beaches, and all sightseeing places. They provide free Wi-Fi, a swimming pool, a gym, etc. The bed and blanket are good for sleeping at night, and the staff are friendly. Plan properly before coming to where you want to go, and execute correctly without wasting time. Nearby, they have a marina kitchen and the food is so good.

New manager Peter is great. He makes sure the place is pristine, clean, and organized. Staff are extra friendly. I stayed for 45 days and the people who came and go are what made my stay extra memorable.

Good place to stay. The place is at the 29th floor, the view of the palm is obstructed by neighboring buildings though. Company is urban panda and my handler is Peter (Peetah). He is a new guy and learning the ropes still, he will take care of what you need as he is a nice guy and respectful, he will take and do your laundry for a fee. Would recommend this place especially if you are on a budget as it is a shared space with bunk beds inside the rooms.

Exceptional Stay at Urban Panda Dubai – Big Thanks to Satbeer and Sumit!My stay at Urban Panda Dubai was nothing short of amazing! A special shoutout to both Satbeer and Sumit, the hostel’s incredible team, who made my time here unforgettable. Satbeer was always there with a warm welcome, providing great local tips and ensuring everyone felt right at home. Sumit, the manager, was equally fantastic – super professional, approachable, and always making sure everything ran smoothly.The hostel itself was top-notch – modern, clean, and very comfortable. The dorms were well-organized, with cozy beds, personal lockers, and charging stations. The shared spaces were excellent for relaxing or mingling with other travelers. I particularly loved the rooftop terrace with its stunning views of Dubai’s skyline – a great spot to unwind after a busy day.The location couldn’t be better! It’s close to public transport, making it easy to reach Dubai’s main attractions like the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall. Despite being in the heart of the city, the hostel maintains a relaxed and peaceful vibe, perfect for resting after exploring.What really sets Urban Panda apart is the friendly, social atmosphere. Satbeer and Sumit both did an amazing job organizing fun events and activities that helped bring everyone together. Whether it was group outings or just hanging out at the hostel, they made sure there was always something exciting going on. The Wi-Fi was reliable, and the kitchen was well-equipped, which was a bonus.All in all, Urban Panda Dubai exceeded all my expectations, and I cant recommend it enough. Huge thanks to Satbeer for his hospitality and Sumit for managing everything so well. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in Dubai!
