What’s let it down is the tour I booked with them to the pyramids. Firstly I was booked onto a tour to see multiple pyramids when in fact I’d just wanted to see the Giza pyramids and sphinx, maybe there had been some miscommunication. Firstly on the Giza pyramids part of the tour I was unexpectedly taken to a dodgy looking guide centre outside of the Giza site and pressured to pay ##### ROBERT Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Fabiola 24 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities The staff was great but my room could use some renovations and a dresser. I had a private room and bathroom. If you are planning to live out of a backpack then the lack of storage space will be fine. I had to live out of my suitcase because I had no where to store my things. ##### Fabiola Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joseph 15 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This will definitely be the place I'll be staying at when I come back to Egypt.

The terrace is also amazing to relax within the hectic city ##### Julia Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### yassine 24 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort This place is lovely! Made friends from different nationalities The rooftop is windy and a great place to chill Cats are all around which is cool cause i love cats Staff are so friendly ##### yassine Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### yvonne 18 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### yvonne Stayed 10 nights in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Roman 29 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities 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) ##### Roman Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Matthew 11 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service 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). ##### Matthew Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### chiaki 8 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities breakfasti is expensive ##### chiaki Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julia 11 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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! ##### Julia Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lucy 14 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Lucy Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gabriel 4 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Surprising The hostel is very organized! Good rooms, clean bathrooms and good showers! I was really surprised about the conditions! The staff are helpful and polite! The share living spaces are comfortable and there are many people from all around the world, it's a good place to know different people and have fun. Moreover there was a lot of cute cats in the hostel! It was surprisedly good!

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.

Bohemian and laid back. Lots of adorable cats who are super friendly. Great breakfast! I was super cold in my room (no heat), but I didn’t pack for winter very well either. Old fashioned (but quick) elevator takes you to 7th floor, you walk up to the 8th. You cannot call for the elevator to go down (sometimes you’re lucky and it’s there and sometimes not). I would definitely stay here again! ##### Charlotte Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels near Dumfries Ice Bowl](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dumfries-Ice-Bowl-Hotels.0-l553248635142354930-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Al Masa Hotel Nasr City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairo-Hotels-Al-Masa-Hotel.h10069968.Hotel-Information) > > [The Gate Hotel Front Pyramids & Sphinx View](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairo-Hotels-The-Gate-Hotel.h95034071.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Siroco - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Teguise-Hotels-Hotel-Club-Siroco-Solo-Adultos.h1200238.Hotel-Information) > > [Mamlouk Pyramids Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairo-Hotels-Mamlouk-Pyramids-Hotel-Spa.h74898481.Hotel-Information) > > [Nine Pyramids View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairo-Hotels-NINE-PYRAMIDS-VIEW-HOTEL.h66022511.Hotel-Information) > > [Soul Pyramids & Valley Temple View ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairo-Hotels-Soul-Pyramids-Valley-Temple-View.h103742567.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Blundellsands & Crosby Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blundellsands-Crosby-Station-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d553248634539837324-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sodankyla-Hotels-Kakslauttanen-Arctic-Resort.h12318138.Hotel-Information) > > [Madinaty Lodge By Travelholic](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairo-Hotels-Madinaty-Lodge-By-Travelholic.h70898560.Hotel-Information) > > [Steigenberger Pyramids Cairo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairo-Hotels-Steigenberger-Pyramids-Cairo.h36021864.Hotel-Information) > > [Concorde El Salam Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairo-Hotels-Concorde-El-Salam-Hotel.h21806.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Hotels in Bournemouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bournemouth-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d654-tLuxuryHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Pyramids Overlook Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairo-Hotels-Pyramids-Overlook-Inn.h31696805.Hotel-Information) > > [Beirut Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairo-Hotels-Beirut-Hotel.h1188678.Hotel-Information) > > [Pyramid Front Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairo-Hotels-Pyramid-Front-Hotel.h91258080.Hotel-Information) > > [White House Pyramids View](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairo-Hotels-White-House-Pyramids-View.h106379555.Hotel-Information) > > [STEPS IN Pyramids View](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairo-Hotels-Skay-Pyramids-View.h92319640.Hotel-Information) > > [Mazar Pyramids Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairo-Hotels-Mazar-Pyramids-Hotel.h109978871.Hotel-Information) > > [Gaia Pyramids Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairo-Hotels-Gaia-Pyramids-Hotel.h106793010.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Birmingham Snow Hill Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Snow-Hill-Station-Hotels.d6164758.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Le Méridien Pyramids Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairo-Hotels-Le-Meridien-Pyramids-Hotel-Spa.h24034.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Letterkenny](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Letterkenny-Hotels.d11270.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Derby (EMA) to Dubai (DXB)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ema/dxb/east-midlands-to-dubai) ### Activities > [Things to do in Snettisham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Snettisham.d6125402.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages ---
