Guest Reviews
- Imran (10/5): - Great location and comfortable stay! Best of all is the crew and their service.
- Laurent (10/5): Super ! - Guesthouse très bien située avec une magnifique et immense terrasse donnant sur la ville. Personnel serviable et très agréable. Les chambres ne font pas 18 m2 comme dit dans l’annonce mais entre 8 et 9 m2. Dommage également qu’elles ne soient pas équipées de climatisation…
- Villarreal (10/5): -
- Cris Afani (9/5): -
- Pauline (10/5): Venez ici sans hésitation, vous allez adorer ! - 2eme séjour dans cet hostel que j’adore, immense terrasse avec beaucoup d’espace pour se détendre, beaucoup de plantes, c’est très agréable ! Super emplacement, proche du musée égyptien (le petit) et du vieux quartier de Cairo (10min en uber). Le personnel est adorable, mais je recommanderai plutôt une chambre particulière, je n’ai pas eu la meilleure expériences dans la chambre partagée notamment à cause de mes colocataires qui étaient peu respectueuse et bruyantes … Salle de bain partagée dans les dorms, j’ai préféré aller me doucher dans les douches collectives de l’hostel !
- emna (8/5): -
- emna (8/5): Mon sejour etait tres court donc je ne peux pas donner un avis - L’emplacement et l’énergie La règle concernant les voyageurs arabes n’était pas indiquée lors de la réservation, et apprendre ça à l’arrivée m’a mise dans une situation très inconfortable. En étant placée seule dans une chambre, je n’ai pas non plus eu l’expérience de pouvoir socialiser et rencontrer les autres voyageurs comme prévu.
- Daniel (10/5): - Great staff, very helpful and friendly, well organized...Plenty of space, rooftop terrace, comfy dorm bed and excellent breakfast. Highly recommended
- Antoine (10/5): - Location, staff, roof top, ambience, cost,
- Freakezoid (9/5): -
- Saar (9/5): - Toffe hostel. Goede vibes
- Kyong Ah (9/5): -
- Zélie (9/5): Localisation idéal, staff top et disponible 24/24 - Localisation idéale au centre de Caire et proche de beaucoup d’endroits à visiter. Le staff est super, très gentil et disponible 24/24. C’est propre et le rooftop est super agréable. /
- Carol (10/5): Um Oásis em Cairo - Um oasis em Cairo. Vc paga o mesmo que um hotel em um quarto privativo e não tem ar- condicionado.
- Pello (10/5): Buen alojamiento en el centro de El Cairo - La ubicación. Es un oasis en el centro de El Cairo. Terraza gigante con muchos sitios para descansar. Gente joven y viajera.
- Sun (8/5): -
- Laurenz (10/5): - The best hostel I’ve been to in Egypt! Very helpful staff and great social atmosphere. Would definitely come back
- Joseph (10/5): - Great friendly hostel - the staff were very happy to help & engage with us. The rooftop lounge is a cool chill out spot & the rooms/bathrooms/showers were very clean The location is great too.
- Lionel (8/5): Agréable pour un court séjour - L'accueil du personnel, la sympathie, la terrasse en roof top, la localisation dans Downtown, la climatisation, le petit déjeuner. La salle de bains très sommaire avec un systeme de douche tres peu pratique.
- Rachel (10/5): - Super zentral im wuseligen downtown von cairo, aber eine kleine oase zum runterkommen. Sehr schön eingerichteter rooftop, mit vielen nischen und Sitzgelegenheiten zum verweilen. Schön grün! Lecker Frühstück, zimmer waren auch gut. Und du konntest die Mitarbeiter immer fragen nach Tips in der Umgebung oder Ausflüge, sie konnten dir immer weiterhelfen :) Wenn man Angst vor Aufzügen hat, sollte man wissen dass die Unterkunft im 7. Stock liegt
- Sylvain (7/5): Agréable, mais peu confortable. - La situation de l'hôtel au dernier étage de l'immeuble, distribué entre de multiples terrasses pleines de verdure. Chambres peu confortables : aucun meuble de rangement, rien pour accrocher les vêtements ou faire sécher les serviettes de toilette. La douche inonde complètement la salle de bain ; un rideau serait au minimum nécessaire.
- Mehamud (8/5): -
- Jonas (10/5): - Magnifique séjour au Dahab Hostel très bien placé petit-déjeuner au top staff incroyable au petit soins et ambiance chill détente magique je recommande sans hésitation !
- IZABELKAP (10/5): - The great team (staff), very comfortable hostel, delicious breakfast. I had a wanderful stay. I would reccomend this place!
- Ahmed (10/5): -
- IZABELKAP (10/5): - This is a perfekt hostel with a great staff!!!
- Ke (10/5): Over expectations. Highly recommend. - Super clean! The location is super convenient. Walk distance to the small shop with clear price so no need to bargains at all. Restaurants and small cafes are around it with clean and delicious meals, also in a reasonable price. Stuffs are kind and helpful. They organised events every day so it’s a really hostel vibe. The rooftop and public space is spacious enough for you to work and enjoy some peaceful time. Nothing with this price and service.
- Cheikh (10/5): -
- Lino (7/5): Niet voor herhaling vatbaar - Rooftop, badkamers waren net. Ontbijt dat je kon verkrijgen was ondermaats. Personeel raad activiteiten aan maar deze zijn te hoog geprijsd Algemene ligging is niet goed, heel veel lawaai en afval De lift is niet te vertrouwen
- Jennie L (10/5): Cozy stay in Cairo - Rooftop garden with my private room I felt relaxed and my side of the place was quiet. Nice hot shower facilities and I met some nice people. Sometimes the people hanging around at night were a little loud… luckily my room was not close to them.

- Aslan (8/5): Great place I will definitely recommend it island in the storm - It feels like you’re not in a city with the plants and has a lot of space . Communication with the breakfast staff and the fan smell .
- Félicie (10/5): Meilleur rapport qualité / prix de la ville !! - L’emplacement est idéal en plein cœur de ville. Le personnel est très serviable. Le petit dej est copieux. J’ai particulièrement aimé la terrasse sur le roof top qui offre une vue imprenable.
- John (9/5): Great hostel in Cairo - Great atmosphere, comfortable beds, organized activities, excellent location Hard to communicate food allergies to kitchen staff. Elevator feels sketchy
- Clemence (8/5): Très bonne auberge bien placée - Super ambiance conviviale, calme. Très bon emplacement en centre ville. Belle vue depuis la terrasse. Bon petit déjeuner. Bouteilles d'eau à disposition pas chères. L'auberge organise des services de chauffeurs pour des tours à la journée, malheuresement pour la visite de fayoum, personne n'est venu nous chercher. Nous avons été remboursé mais nous avons perdu une journée de visite.

- Dana (9/5): - Sehr freundliches Personal und super Lage
- Favier (9/5): - I particularly liked the terasse, When I was there, there were a good group of people ! Thank you very much Katha for the entertainment and your lovely architect personality. Had fun here for sure.

- JACQUELINE (8/5): parfait - très bien
- Elisabeth (8/5): -
- Aline (9/5): - Tasty Egyptian breakfast, lovely rooftop terrace
- Rivas (10/5): Kindness in one place - The place is situated in the heart of the city. Super easy to navigate and get around from here. What makes this place special is the staff. The staff is the friendliest you will meet in Cairo. Plus as a Spanish speaker, I was able to connect with them easily. Ahmed, H, and Fady made me feel like I was home. Always willing to help me. Highly recommend this place!!
- CATHERINE (6/5): - bien situé, joli terrasse, pratique pour unes escale au Caire, possibilité d'avoir des chambres à 2, 3 ou 4 avec sanitaire privé la douche qui ne fonctionnait pas et qui n'en était pas vraiment une ( robinet situé entre les WC et le lavabo sans bac) donc salle d'eau qui se transforme immédiatement en piscine
- Ivan (9/5): Hôtel original perché au septième étage. L’ambiance est très routarde. Très sympathique. -
- Louise (9/5): Nice hostel in city centre - Rooftop, friendly and helpful staff, great location, comfy beds. Price is a bit high in comparison with other hostels in Cairo, and also because it's exclusive towels and a simple breakfast
- Willem (10/5): - Het personeel, zeer vriendelijk, behulpzaam en professioneel. De rooftop locatie en het centrale punt in de stad. Niets
- 邓小彬 (9/5): 入住感觉不错，毕竟是在s z x - 酒店位置很好，方便到任何地方，就在解放广场附近，乘公交系统很方便，老板很热心，帮助我们解决了交通问题，只要有需要，老板和员工都很热情的解决问题， 如果能房间再大一点就好了
- 邓小彬 (9/5): 感觉非常高兴，就像回到家一样，前台服务小哥英语都很好 - 入住体验非常好，老板很热心，不但帮我们解决了交通问题，连手机的问题他都能解决，我觉得很满意，这个青旅价格便宜，交通方便，性价比高，还可以做饭，非常好，可以推荐给朋友 房间再大一点就好啦

- Ryan (10/5): - The guided trips they were selling was really just a driver and not a guide. We paid a lot of money to basically have an Uber driver who just waited for us all day but otherwise everybody was very nice and it was a very cool place.
- stephan (9/5): - L'emplacement, la gentillesse du personnel. Le rapport qualité prix imbattable.
- Dragan (10/5): -
- Anthony (10/5): - J'ai beaucoup la proximité avec le centre de la ville. Bon staff, équipements utiles à l'auberge. Le rooftop est incroyable. Les chambres sont simples, mais propres. Tout était bien correct.
- Louis (10/5): - Very friendly and helpful staff!
- Guillaume (9/5): -
- Andrea (10/5): - Probably one of the best hostel in general, and extremely cool. The terrace and rooftop is amazing, while still cozy and not hyper loud as the rest of Cairo. Owners and staffs are very gentle, available and funny. Rooms are small but functional, and the blankets were clean as everything else, especially bathroom which were spotless clean and very modern. Breakfast is nice, with choice of menus and long hours availability. Once out, you’re in the city center immediately, yet a very cozy area awaits at 2 streets away.
- Damla (10/5): - We stayed 3 day. Everything was good, it will be my first choice if i come back to cairo Take care!!
- Patrick (9/5): -
- Julian (8/5): Hôtel très sympa qui aurait juste besoin d'un petit coup de frais... réception au top - Un super roof top pour profiter du petit déj au soleil ou d'une soirée très sympa. Equipe d'accueil au top ', très disponible, prompte à rendre service, et qui propose des visites et excursions intéressantes à des prix très intéressants Certaines chambres mériteraient un petit coup de neuf (des lampes plus lumineuses, des rideaux en meilleur état et un peu plus propres, et des alèses sur les matelas) Pourquoi pas aussi ajouter de quoi poser sa valise ou pendre un manteau dans les chambres ? Les sanitaires privatifs dans les chambres qui en sont équipées pourraient être aussi rénovées... Peut-être aussi penser à agencer le roof top et à le débarrasser de ce qui traine et n'est pas utile
- Backpack28 (10/5): Recommended - Friendly and helpful staff Cleanliness Good breakfast Good location

- Charlotte (8/5): Parfait pour une courte escale au Caire - Auberge bien foutue, propre et efficace avec une terrasse en rooftop. Enregistrement un peu long à l'arrivée surtout qu'il était 4h du matin pour nous.
- Bruno (10/5): - Presque tout ! L'emplacement sur le toit, la localisation en ville, l'accueil ! Pas de chaise ni la moindre étagère dans la chambre, dommage ! Un porte manteau dans toutes les douches serait un plus !
- Dragan (10/5): Great stay in the heart of downtown - Warm atmosphere, lively and full of energy. The rooms are good — I extended my stay, so I changed three rooms, and the last one was excellent. The staff are friendly, and the breakfast is good, enough for a solid start to the day. Honestly, it was better than I expected. I will definitely stay at the same place again when I return to Cairo. Just to add building entrance is clean and elevator even old working well.

- Dragan (9/5): Recommend - Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, small but functional rooms, great rooftop terrace. Recommended. Some small renovations are needed, like painting and minor fixes, but it looks like they are already working on it. Overall, great value for money considering the low price and what you get.
- Dragan (9/5): -
- Nicolas (10/5): Jeder Zeit wieder! - Das Dahab Hostel liegt perfekt in der Stadt auf einem Dach mit riesiger Terrasse. Man thront über der Stadt, hat eine tolle Aussicht, während man an einem der vielen Tische gemütlich sein Frühstück zu sich nimmt. Die Zimmer sind einfach und wunderschön, das Kopfkissen super, die Zudecke kuschelig. Das Personal ist supernett, man kann lange und entspannt duschen, das Internet funktioniert problemlos, man kriegt für sein Geld ausgesprochen viel, besser geht es nicht.
- Ignacio Joaquin (7/5): Práctico - La tranquilidad Mi habitación estaba al lado de una obra. Había mucho ruido todo el día y mucha música. También estaba al lado de la zona de descanso de los empleados, por lo que a las 6/7 de la mañana me despertaba con el ruido externo.
- gabriel (7/5): -
- Charlotte (10/5): I’ve stayed in several hostels in Cairo and this is by far the best!!! Stay here - The location was perfect Nothing

- Zsombor (8/5): -
- may (8/5): - Location and staff both very good. Rooftop location great. Very comfortable and clean beds and bathrooms. Cairo traffic is noisy, so earplugs are useful for sleeping.
- Louis (9/5): -
- Michelle (10/5): - This was my second stay at Dahab Hostel and the reason for that is because of the staff. They always make you feel like you're part of the family and no problem is too big. A huge thank you to Hesham, Fadi and Ahmed and the staff for making me feel at home and comfortable.
- David (10/5): Wonderful stay!! - I had a great stay at Dahab Hostel! The staff were really friendly and knowledgeable. They also asked, “Is there anything we can do to improve?” and genuinely listened. Thank you!! The road traffic was a bit noisy. I suggest earplugs (in general, everywhere in Egypt).
- Marcus (10/5): - Wie immer, war es wieder ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt. Das Team sehr hilfsbereit und sympathisch. Heir kann man gut Leute treffen. Es ist auch ein guter Ort um von Kairos Hektik zu entkommen.
- Britt (8/5): - Really kind en helpful staff, nice breakfast and good location! Seperate shower would be nice.
- vincent (10/5): - Très bon acceuill, le personnel est super ! Très bon hôtel !
