I had the best time at the Dahab hostel, would really recommend it for your stay in Cairo. All the employees are very friendly and helpful. The terrace is very nice and you can have good cheap breakfast on the roof if you like. The rooms are clean. Overall I would definitely recommend it and for sure stay there again if I go back to Cairo!

Perfect for layovers
I got in early from a trip to siwa and I was able to check in early yet they also let you store your items and take a shower if room is not available. Very friendly perfect for a quick layover in Cairo or to be in the center of all the action with walking distance to Egyptian museum.

Great little place with an amazing rooftop, very friendly and helpful staff, good location, tasty breakfast and great atmosphere. Unfortunately the amount of mosquitoes is just something else - we could barely get any rest as the whole night you just fight with the annoying beasts. Because of that I would definitely choose another place next time. Shame!

The location is quite good, as it's a very short walk to a nearby supermarket and a liquor store, a bit further away is Sadat metro station and various places to eat. Plenty of showers and toilets. Kitchen was equipped for real cooking and has a fridge. Plenty of sitting places around the open areas. I'm not sure what the smoking policy is but guests smoke everywhere. I was in a room with 2 beds but it had no shelves nor a table or any storage to put stuff in or on. The door had a wide enough gap between the jamb and the lock to require two turns of the lock to lock it securely. If someone was smoking at a neighbouring door, the smoke would sometimes penetrate thru the gap. Sound insulation of patch strip of metal around the room window is nonexistent, and two rooms I've been to had the same flaw, so bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. Lift works but the minder has to be called by reception to send it up to the 6th floor. Too many cats wandering around. Allergics beware! Breakfast for 50LE was minimal. Heritage hostel serves a slightly better breakfast and it's included but it has its own foibles (see my review of it on booking)

My single room had only a comfortable clean bed, a light and a fan. The room and the bathroom were very clean. The staff was friendly, and the hostel had a nice vibe. It was centrally located was in the middle of busy area. Very safe and walkable. I only had one dislike. The elevator only goes to the 6th floor, however the hostel is on the 7th floor. So you have to walk up about 20 winding stairs with luggage. There is no call button to to summon the elevator up. The staff has to call to the elevator man to sent the elevator up. I felt stuck a few times because he stepped away. A staff member then has to go down 7 flight to bring the elevator up. Once I had to walk down myself. For.that reason I would not stay here again, as I am a senior and have a knee inplant. Other than that issue my stay was good.

中心地にありどこに行くにもアクセスが良いですし、スタッフも皆さん親切で、ホステル自体も環境が整っていてゆっくり出来るところです。私は深夜バスに乗るのに昼から夜までしか居ませんでしたが、こちらで何泊かしても良かったなと思いました。神経質かもしれませんが一つだけ、蚊が結構入って来てたので気になる方は虫除けスプレーなど持参が良いと思います！- ̗̀( ˶^ᵕ'˶)b

Pretty typically hostel. Nice staff. It’s all outdoors, on a rooftop, so not sure how comfortable that would be in the summer. WiFi was decent. They had staff continually cleaning the bathrooms and showers. Room was fine, nothing spectacular, or horrible. Really close to the Egyptian museum, not far from a subway stop. Lots of restaurant options within walking distance, even a couple of bars and drinkies next door (one of the few places to purchase alcohol).

Overall review: Fair カイロで個室、最安値？と予約したけど、税込みだと結局USD17くらいして、あの部屋でこの値段は高い。 スタッフは感じが良い親切な人もいるが、ルードな感じの人もいる。 ストレージの管理も、ちゃんと自分で鍵を開けて閉めるスタッフもいれば、鍵をゲストに渡して自分で開けて閉めてこいっていうスタッフもいて、微妙な感じ。 まあ安宿なのでこんなもんでしょとは思うし、清潔な部屋と、ちゃんとお湯が出るシャワー、24Hフロントもあり、全然問題ないけど。 USD17出して個室泊まるなら、他の安ホテルの方が落ち着く。他の旅人の交流目的、ドミトリー泊なら良いのかも。
