Wonderful hosts, great community atmosphere in the hostel. Lots of events and tours can be planned easily, good breakfast in the morning. Great place to stay and a great value, will definitely return on my next trip to Cairo.

Dinas is a great! There are only nice people working there. Dina's is a good hostel but apart from that it became a place for culture and debate! You should definitely go there.

Dina's is wonderful. Period. From the friendly, helpful staff to the lovely rooms to the cleanliness to the lounge area with internet, this hostel goes beyond my expectations. The decor is tasteful and understated, and the hostel itself peaceful, cozy, and CLEAN. I and my friends have been multiple times, and as I told a staff member the last time I was there, I think that unless I at some point need to stay in another part of Cairo for whatever reason, I will always want to stay at Dina's.

Really loved my stay as Dina's Hostel. It was a great way to start and end my trip to Egypt. Much more personable than generic hotels. I learned a lot from the staff and owner. I will be back for a longer stay next time. If you're heading to Cairo, make this your first choice.

Beautiful building, perfect location, charming staff. Nothing more I could really ask for in a hostel, and I will definitely recommend Dina\'s to my friends. You might consider putting lockers in the dorm rooms.

Beyond excellent - 4th time here. The staff are beyond helpful and friendly, and I had a couple of enjoyable and enlightening chats with them. My sister was ill one day, and while I was out, one of the staff made sure to check on her. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and VERY good value for money. If I had two recommendations: 1) some of the rooms (not overlooked from outside) don't have curtains/shutters, which means waking up early with the sun; 2) there aren't any secure lockers.

The staff suggested a tour of the pyramids to my friend and myself. We were told the cost would be 110Egyptian Pounds for the ride, plus 100 split between the two of us for the guide. The tour was great took all day, but what we were not told was that we would be also required to pay to get into the pyramids, plus another guide once we were there. The day ended up costing much more than we anticipated. It was a great tour, but we were definitely caught off guard by the total cost.

Dina's hostel has a very dedicated staff ! We didn't have to bother, they took everything in charge (tours, drivers, guides...) And we've had interesting talks with them and Dina about the recent and comming events in Egypt No doubt, if I go back to Cairo, it will definitely be at Dina's Hostel !!! Thanksto all of you guys !

This hostel is fabulous. I've stayed in many, many hostels throughout Europe and this one could compete with the best of them. My only complaint is that there are no lockboxes/security lockers!

Nice Egyptian carpets, room is ok, bathroom could have been a little cleaner and it smelled pretty bad after taking a shower. Breakfast became less every morning, but was ok. Staff was friendly. The tour to the pyramids organized by the hostel was a little expensive as it didn't contain any entrance fees. We were taken to shops where we felt obliged to buy stuff. They probably had contracts with the hostel and just kept talking us into it without leaving us time to think. Guide was rushing us.

Although located in the middle of bustling downtown Cairo and within walking distance of many attractions, metro stations and cafes Dina's was also a beautiful sanctuary from the noise and bustle of the city. The staff were amazingly friendly and created an aesthetic and welcoming environment. I would definitely recommend this hostel to anyone traveling to Cairo!

Very nice staff, and a good location. The road noise is a little loud but that cannot be helped.

Change a very sunken mattress in the top bed in the dorm.
