The location is good,the price included a clean towel and a breakfast quite enough to get you started,the noise from the streets aren't heard in the rooms and the staff is extremely helpful,especially Nana. Downside is that it's on the 5th floor,but that's a problem only if the elevator isn't working.

The hostel is close to the Attaba metro station. The shared toilets are impressively clean, with stable hot water. The wifi works well. Overall very good value for money, nothing much to complaint about.

Nice place, center location with easy walking to most things. Got spot to meet new poeple and compare travel notes. Dina did look after me after a tour I booked did not go as plan and she arrange to allow me to do it again and when I came back wanted to know in detail the problems. Very happy in end and greatful for her help and concern

Dina is the best. She went out of her way to accommodate us. She gave us free breakfast too :)

Cairo is a city ful of traffic and therefore a lot of dust but they cleaned the hostel every day. The staff was very nice and helpful, you can ask them anything. Breakfast is included in the price and it was really good.

Great staff. Everything was fine. I asked for airport pick up. The driver was really nice person. You can trust everyone from this hostel.

Friendly staff, nice little breakfast, great location in a wonderful downtown fin de siècle house (type Yacoubian building), incredibly quiet in Cairo proportions. Highly recommended.

Security is a big problem as my passport and purse went missing from the hostel. The owner was very unhelpful, making what was already a stressful situation even more stressful. The staff politics at the hostel was also really tiring to be around. The cleaners often didn't turn up. The laundry service is awful and a number of my clothes were ruined. They have a really bad mosquito problem!

Dina's was a very good hostel. Very helpful in booking really money saving tours (would for sure book the Giza and other pyramids tours). Bathrooms were wet bathrooms and one wall mount was broken and sometimes there was no toilet paper. We even checked out other hostels after our arrival (to see what was around) and dinas is by far the best. Would recommend highly and would stay again. They have solved any previous Mosquito issues they had.

I stayed 2 nights as a solo female traveller in March. Arriving late at night the hostel organized a transfer from the airport which was good. Security is basically non existent which I experienced on the first night when someone tried to get into my bed. The showers are shocking, I tried 3 and none had more pressure than a leaking tap. On my last day the driver was 45 minutes late and the guy at reception seemed pissed at me when I asked him to chase up the driver. Service lacking.

Great place to use as base to explore Cairo, pity they lost the "right" to sell you a cold beer

It was ok. I thought it was supposed to be run by women, which I thought would be refreshing, and it felt like I was surrounded by men- only one woman serving brekky in the morning. Was only here for one night. Busy, central area. Noisy at night. Apparently brekky had been better on other mornings. Smoking allowed inside. Ok small book exchange

If you get lost, ask for "Midan Mustafa Kamel." The hostel is nearby. When I was lost, I found it easier to ask people to point to the square than to try to understand directions to the street.

Dina's was such a great place to have a home base when first arriving into Cairo. I love the fact that they have lockers. They have good/reliable wifi, hot showers and overall service. I was helped with all my inquiries. They provide a nice adequate breakfast every morning. The location is great, just a few minutes walk to multiple metro stations and a few minutes walk to the museum and Tahrir Sq. I highly recommend staying here to anyone. Thanks Nana, you've been wonderful.
