Dahab Hostel Reviews

Extremely the best place to spend your vacation! The garden is amazing, we loved the rooftop-design. Also we met there very interesting people - the garden is suitable to make very good contacts :) The staff is reliable, and very kind, you can approach them with any question easily. It is also adviceable to ask them about facilities in Cairo before trips, to avoid being ripped off. Cleaniness is not that perfect but compared to price, still great!

Good locate.

Si quieres estar en el centro del Cairo, este hostal es ideal. Muy bien comunicado. Organizan tours a tu gusto.

This is something like heaven on earth in the middle of Cairo, there is no other place, hello to Mahmoud and Mahmoud and the guy who wrote souq al Gomaa for me in Arabic, and of course, the breakfast man, if I may call him so.See you, el.

Best hostel in Cairo. Open air you can sit and relax in the shadow on the rooftop of Cairo, very helpfull staff, nice rooms, best location( (downtown). it was really great. and the elevator!! how could i forget about cool elevator :)

Great place .. Amazing ambience .. Really friendly staff. Not pushy in selling their stuff

The hostel is in the 7th floor roof top surrounding by nice garden in open area.

It is an interesting and relaxing place in the middle of the caos of Cairo. Very close to the Museum. A highly recommendable place in mi opinion.

Very cool spot on top of a building in an excellent location in Cairo. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. Wifi worked well. Close to great restaurants, stores etc. Couple of minor let downs: The bathroom in our private double was far from clean, and we didn't realise until early in the morning that the hot water cylinder had to be turned on to work, so I used the communal bathroom. Was also dirty, band aids on the floor. Also, there are MANY cats. I like them though. Recommended

Friendly stuff, nice place to stay. Unfortunately there are a lot of mosquitos and during nights it can get quite cold. Elevator did not work the last day but the were about to fix it. Great hostel, would totally recommend it.

No computer available, wifi works only near reception. In all other aspects recommendable.

Nice place to stay in the heart of the city.All basic facilities,rooftop sunshine&good breakfast.Lots of helpful fellow travellers,but receptionists are awful.On arrival tried to sell me package tour at a high price to earn commission(not the backpacker-way).He shouted at a friend later for interrupting his sales pitch to me.Later accused me of lying,for not paying $2 for baggage.No polite reminder-just immediate aggressive attitude&telling-off upon my return one evening.2 similar stories heard.

The staff were wonderful! The atmosphere of the place was interesting - as it's so close to Tahrir Square, everything from revolutionary tourists to writers and journalists had some stories to share. Close to the Egyptian museum. Incredibly chilly at night, but that's Cairo in winter for you. A lot of cats, so not for the allergic. But a fun place with a nice view of the city, as it's located on top of a roof.

Some confusion about payment so get a receipt to avoid trouble.

Can you please fix the doors to the showers/toilets so they close properly? Also, some of the shower heads do not work well anymore. Other than that the hostel is fabulous and good value. Thanks to all the wonderful staff as well.

We had a wonderful time at dahab hostel. The staff were definitely the best part of that place; welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The only constructive criticism we would give, is the Internet connection is only available around reception so sometimes there were a lot of people there and there wasn't much room for privacy. Also, our bums started to hurt after a while of sitting on the hard benches. Small price to pay for a great hostel though. We would recommend it to anyone. Thanks guys!
