Staff was great. Very clean and friendly, able to offer suggestions and tips for Cairo. Lots of long-term guests gave the hostel an intimate, community-like feeling. Location was a little farther from things I needed but I'm pretty sure that was mostly because I kept getting lost. Reliable internet, excellent service. Was nice that the staff ordered food in most nights from places that were a good value so after a full day of work I didn't have to think about that also. Highly recommended!

Honestly, one of the best hostels I have stayed at. Relaxed enviroment with friendly staff ( especialy Nana ) If you are in Cairo, you should stay at Dinas. p.s Remember to ask for the mosquito repellent adaptors and mosquitos wont be a problem.

We have been at Dina's Hostel for the second time now and really appreciate the friendly atmosphere there, as well as how professionally it is run. If you care about a neat and clean accommodation, a service-orientated and quite well English speaking staff, good advices on everything you are planning during your stay, Dina's Hostel is the place to be!

Clean, convenient, safe, friendly and a great bargain—that’s Dina’s Hostel. Rooms are large, spotless, and quiet, the bathrooms impeccable, the beds comfortable. Internet is available. Breakfasts are simple, tasty. Airport transfers are reliable, and a bargain. Internet is available for 5EP per hour. There is an elevator. The atmosphere is open, friendly and helpful. We will certainly stay there again

The staff at Dina's was great. They not only made us feel welcome but very safe in Cairo. It is one of the best hostels I have stayed at to date. The staff help us organize a tour of the pyramids and even sent someone over to the train station to purchase overnight train tickets for us. This place get s at 10 from me!

Dina's Hostel is definitely a great experience, friendly staff, nice common room to meet other travellers. I'd recommend booking in advance to make sure you get the type of room you want as it can fill up quickly but they will definitely do there best to accomodate you. The only reservation is that the internet doesn't quite reach back to all the rooms but this generally encourages more interaction with other travellers and is only and issue if you need to have a private Skype conversation.

Again, it's the 2nd time that we stayed in Dina. Same awesomeness! Nena helped us to call chinese food delivery when we were so tired to go out, that was so nice and thankful:) Plus it was a movie night, unfortunately we were too tired to finish the movie.

The hostel is a great value but the best thing about the hostel is the staff. The staff is really helpful and friendly. Especially Nana the receptionist, who made every effort to accommodate my last minute change in plans in Cairo. The bathroom and toilet are together, but there are multiple bathrooms and showers so it was not a problem.

The showers were not the best as they are combined with the toilet and this amkes it hard not to get everything wet but good value for money

Thank you kindly for your helpful review. We're sorry to hear you had trouble with the showers and keeping your clothes dry. We have a total of 8 shared showers, of varying sizes. Next time you can pick a different one that works better for you. We will also look into what we can do to remedy this problem. Thanks again for your feedback!

I have stayed at Dina’s hostel twice, and I love it. As a female traveller alone in Cairo, it was great having Dina’s Hostel to get home to every day. I always felt safe and the atmosphere and the people made me feel like home. The staff is kind and helpful. Especially, I want to thank the receptionist Nana for being like a big sister to me and always making me in a good mood when hanging out in the common areas. Dina’s hostel is an amazing place to stay and I would definitely recommend it :)

Really enjoyed my stay at Dina's. Great location in Downtown, wonderful staff who know the city, cheap, wifi throughout, large common area, free breakfast, the list goes on..... Sad to be moving on after something like twelve days here. You should stay here if you're coming to Cairo!

Paid in the morning, the girl at reception said that she hadn´t enough money to change, and if she could give me back later, it was about 10 or 20 EGP to return. I said no problem, So during the day nothing happened, I just though she forgot, in the late evenning when I asked her nearby, she said she had forgot, and asked me in an indirect way IF I CAN GIVE HER THE MONEY AS TIP, tip is ok, 10 or 20 EGP is nothing for me, but not in this DISHONEST way, and only if I want!
