Dina's Hostel Reviews

Had a great time at Dina's Hostel!! It's really got a great feel to it and the staff go out of their way to make your stay pleasant. Breakfast was tasty, the bathrooms clean, sheets are pressed and bright white, and the common room is full of life. I highly recommend Dina's Hostel. I also joined the pyramid tour, which was a great price. We were a big group and had a lovely day together.

This is a gem of hostel. The staff is wonderful and accommodating; some of the staff are new and still training, but they are super helpful and Dina is around alot and full of wonderful helpful information. She even personally drove me to a special bank when I was having trouble with my bank account and couldn't access any cash. I was really desperate and she calmed me down and fixed everything. The hostel also has film screenings on Sundays, which are attended by locals and guests. It was great

Great hostel! Very clean, the staff is amazing and makes you feel at home! Keep up the good work!!!

I have stayed at Dina's many times and it is always a great value for the money. It is a simple hostel to be sure but it serves its role well. Also the breakfast is delicious and very filling.

Great place to stay, very central, very welcoming & helpful - big comfortable common room for socialising. I would definitely recommend them!!!

Pretty much everything was great, except for the insects. The place is filled with mosquitoes biting throughout the day and night, and I also found several bed bugs in the dorms (in the bed and on the wall). I was completely covered in bug bites after spending a night there, and because of that I'm planning on finding another hostel instead of returning to Dina's.

The hostel was great, but I would not get the additional tours through the hostel. The tour guides are not very informative, and I get the feeling they were ripping me off.

Everything was wonderful. The only complaint we had was all of the mosquitos!

I was amazed after staying in several different hostels in Cairo over years that I have been coming back to Egypt at how unique and lovely Dina's Hostel was. The standards of cleanliness, inexpensive prices, the variety of breakfasts, friendly and engaging staff, spacious rooms, cozy common areas made my stay delightful from the beginning to the end. Dina's Hostel is where I will be coming back to on my next visit to Egypt. I highly recommend this hostel!

The breakfast is good but it could be bigger. The staff is always willing to help you.

We stayed for four night at private twine. It was great. The first our room was located along the big street so it was too noisy. Then they switched to quiet room. Right after our arrival, the driver picked us up at 3am! We're glad to find him easily. They also arranged the tour for us. The only thing I can complain is mosquitos.

great location and prices. very clean. the best part about dina's hostel is the staff; they are very helpful, organized, knowledable and polite. their willingness to assist travelers is among the bet ive ever seen I've stayed in several hostels budget hotels in cairo and this one is by far the best. would recommend to anyone and everyone traveling in cairo. five stars five diamonds!!!!

The staff at Dina´s Hostel were helpful and friendly. My sister and I had a good stay. Even when I wasn´t at the hostel that night an employee flagged down a cab for me to go to the airport. I would go again and my sister already has. :)

I ended up staying at Dina's much longer than I planned. This was because it feel like an oasis in the chaos of Cairo. The place is very clean, comfortable and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I did the tour of the pyramids and Alexandria through Dina's and was very happy. I am a woman traveling alone and I feel very safe at Dina's. Also, I loved the fact that you get to meet fellow travelers, exchange tourist stories/experiences, etc. in the common areas. It beats the Marriott

Great place to stay! The staff will make sure you get where you want to go and will put a smile on your face. Nice atmosphere in the lounge area because of the great Arabic music! Fairuz, Amr Diab and Oum Kultoum!

Even though Nadiawas really helpful in planning our trip, the staff, especcially the women tried to charge us several times even though we had already paid. It was really annoying and it showed a lack of organization. The showers are poor. When more than one person is taking a shower all of them turns really cold.

Really nice and helpful staffs.

All in all good. The place is clean and homely. Just don't look out of your windows into the inner courtyards of the building. There is an abundance of trash. Not the hostel's fault, just a Cairo standard. The hostel only occupies the 5th floor of the building. The elevator is a bit of an adventure. Morning staff seemed a bit clueless and disorganized at times. On the upside there was no sales pressure for tours. I would stay there again.

Dina's is a great place to stay in Cairo- The hostel and rooms are nicely furnished (plants!), clean, and bright, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. There's always a diverse crowd of interesting people passing through, and Dina's also holds regular film viewings and cultural events that attract locals and travelers alike. I especially like the location- its easy to walk to Tahrir or Zamalek, catch the metro to Maadi or Dokki, or a quick taxi ride to Nasr City/Heliopolis.

Excellent hostel. Charming, like the character and ambience with the lounge area and use of nice furniture too. Toilets were clean, well upkept and rooms were nice and cosy. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good with changes for variety. However, some points to note. Mosquitos are a bit of a problem. And the traffic can get really noisy even at night. Overall high marks for this great hostel!!
