Beautiful premises, excellent breakfast included in the morning, great location right on the sea and near to good bars and restaurants. The staff was helpful and friendly. The bathrooms were a little bit questionable, but not terrible. Another downside, the female dorm room heats up like a sauna during the day thanks to the plentiful windows.

Still the best value in Dahab by a long shot, great breakfast and fantastic facilities. There are nice rooms around the back in a villa that are well worth considering especially if there are two of you or you can find someone to share. Bar is the centre of life in Dahab so can be quite lively at times.

Great hostel, probably the best I have stayed at. Owners are excellent people, location is fantastic, and the price cannot be beat.

Very nice hostel. We stayed in a double room which was very clean. The shower wasn't the best but it did the job. The staff was helpful enough but not particularly friendly or flexible. Free breakfast was nice and plentiful, pool area was lovely, location is smack in the middle of Dahab next to the beach. There seemed to be a crowd hanging out in the bar every night too if you're looking for some fun. All in all not 100% perfect but probably one of the best in Egypt. Definitely recommed it!

I stayed at Red Sea Relax Resort (Dahab Dorms) for 4 nights & it was a great experience! It is centrally located, hospitable people, very good complementary services on the house (WiFi, Internet at the reception, all-day coffee / tea, kayaks, breakfast) & a great travelers lounge! Must be about 100 yards from the most used dive site - Light House. They also offer reasonable laundry services. On the whole, a great place for a very economical price!

Outstanding location, you will meet the best people here, I travel alone and this place was perfect. Right on the water and within walking distance of anywhere you will need to go… shopping, diving, eating. Outstanding and helpful staff.

Good staff, good food, mediocre Wi-Fi, lack of lockers in room (broken). Difficult to sleep because of bar noise. Reasonable value for money.

Without doubt, the best hostel in a 3 week tour of Egypt. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

Osama and Said do a fine job of managing the place & r both informative + helpful with Maintenance Mgr, Ehab, ensuring everything works. In the kitchen: Ahmed, Hany and Alaa serving up delicious meals around the clock. Cleaners Ali and Tahar not only keep the place spotless but also do the most impressive origami with your bath towels ranging from hearts to fish to swans. Tarek is the best bar manager/dj with smiling attendant Ahmed who both ensure that the party stays alive! Clarice from Oz.

The breakfast is great, it's wonderful to be able to use the gym and sauna for free and they have deals on scuba and snorkeling through their hotel. For 40 LE I think it was a great deal. However, keep your stuff locked up, my camera was stolen and so was the phone and wallet of another person in my room. When I complained I was told that I should have had my stuff locked up and the staff did nothing about it.

the stay at the hostel was great value for money. the breakfast is great, the bar probably has the cheapest beer in town and the food menu is extensive and cheap- all sports are also shown as well. the only criticism is the hostel doors don't have locks (get a padlock for your locker from reception) and there are only 2 male and 2 female toilets so in the morning it can be difficult to get access. i would stay there again though

Thank you very much for your review and I am glad you appreciated our services and value for money. Thank you also for your comment reference the lack of key for the main dormitory door. Customers frequently lose their key and we have a high turnover of guests in this part of the Resort . This is no excuse however and we are now urgently rectifying the problem. Thank you again and I hope you enjoyed your further travels in Egypt.

Great dorms in the heart of the tourist area. Clean and well presented reception area, and equally nice rooms. Security was a bit of an issue since you cant lock your rooms, they did not provide us with keys. But we still had nothing missing anyway.

Thank you for your review and the kind comments about or rooms and services. Thank you also for bringing to our attention the fact that you were not given a room key for the shared dormitory. We have a frequent problem with guests losing keys- for your room we have to have six. However there is no excuse for us not getting new keys cut immediately, and I have spoken to reception to quickly rectify the problem. Thank you once again and I hope you enjoyed your further travels in Egypt.

Everyone was AMAZING here! Abdul, Said, and Osama were great and helped out with everything anyone could ask for. Great atmosphere, great people. I didn't want to leave!

I've stayed in dozens of hostels worldwide, and this is absolutely the very best dorm I've ever stayed, regardless of price, and it is also one of the cheaper hostals I've ever used. I love the aircon, clean rooms, wifi (not SUPER fast though), pool, bar, restaurant, location 5 meters from beach chairs on the small beach, and kind staff. This is the only place I stayed in Dahab.
