The staff at the hostel caused us to miss our ship by having us wait for an hour and 45 minutes for a taxi. During that time they repeatedly gave us false information and pretended the taxi was just about to arrive. We were eaten alive by mosquitoes because they keep the windows open and the lights on all evening. We had at lease a dozen in our room. Overall a very bad experience, and not an Aussie to be found.

Wonderful staff, extremely helpful, organised tours for me, shopped for me, booked further accommodation in other towns, booked bus tickets. Always ready to assist in any way. Room basic but spotless. Highly recommend this hostel which is in a great central location.

Thank you for your review. I tool long time to reply on your review to get myself a chance to ask all our guests if there is any bed bugs and we found out that there is no bed bugs at all. you have arrived at 03;00 am and left at 12:00 noon, means you stayed only 8 hours at the hostel. We wished we could serve you more than that....

The time we arrive Aussie they don't recognize our booking then even told us no room on dorm. The guy at the front speaks poor English and helpless. Don't take tea from them even they say its free,will be cost when you check out by different guy you were talking to.

The time you arrived guys it was too early to check in as the check in time is 12:00 noon and the guy who was at the reception managed to give you two beds in a Triple (air-conditioned room) by the time you have arrived in order to be helpful. you are right about his English. he is still learning and improving his English and that's why his shift is the night shift which is from 00:00 to 08:00. Thank you anyway for staying with us and for your feedback.

I'm glad that of all the places I could have stayed in downtown Cairo, I chose Aussie Hostel. The beds are comfortable, the bathrooms are clean. There's a kitchen and lounge area, but the thing that makes this place better than others is the staff. Hany, the manager is very helpful and will give you great travel tips, even if you don't end up using his tour services. He's a good guy and watches out for all the guests. I definitely would stay there again.

Very good place to stay in Cairo, run by the friendly and helpful Hany, and all his staff. Hostel is clean, offers a very good breakfast, and is a short walk to Tahir Square and the Museum. It also has two nearby metro stations. I would stay again.

Really good hostel, great cheap price, staff made us feel really welcome and helped us a lot by translating directions into arabic to make sure we'd find the next place we were going. Good breakfast and clean, comfortable beds.
