Why book direct

The same apartment, a better deal.

Booking platforms add their commission on top of the nightly rate. Book direct and that margin stays with you.

No platform fees

Your price has no booking-site commission or service fee added on top. You pay less, and the host keeps more of it for the apartment.

A direct line to your host

Message Hamza before, during and after your stay. No call centre and no middlemen, just a quick reply from the person who runs the place.

Flexible and personal

Early check-in, late check-out, longer stays and a mid-stay clean are all easier to arrange when you book with us directly.

The apartment

Bright, calm, and well thought through.

HZ Residence is a 65 m² one-bedroom in the Waters Edge community on Yas Island. It has open-plan living, a full kitchen, warm neutral styling and a private balcony, and it's kept to hotel standards between every stay.

Looked after, personally.

I'm Hamza, and I run HZ Residence myself, every stay from start to finish. Whether you're here to relax, explore Yas Island or just get away for a while, I've tried to think of everything you'll need to feel at home from the moment you walk in.

If there's ever anything more I can do, you reach me directly, not a call centre. That's the difference booking direct makes.
