Dahab Hostel

Swell -- It's Egyptian
I think that Dahab is a decent place. It is far from perfect -- not 100% clean or modern or whatever. The location is amazing as is the rooftop. I could stay there forever.

The hostel rooms are quite small and dirty as is the roof area, which is covered in dirt, dust, and broken furniture. There are two computers in the internet room, only one worked when I was there. There are no longer any sheeshas available and the seating areas are not particularly comfortable. The hostel could be amazing if they made the roof top nice, lights in the plants, cushions, tent type coverings and sheeshas, but instead it is just a mess of dust and dirt. As with all hostels though, its the people that make it, the staff are all good, and the travelers I found there where all good fun too! Also this is Egypt, so it's not going to be the Ritz for only 25 Egyptian pounds a night.

Everything about the place was great exept for the endless smell of cat piss on the beds.

It's like an oasis in that huge crowded strange city of Cairo!

This place is wonderful!! Totally laid-back atmosphere, chilled out and cozy. The staff are super friendly. A perfect place to meet people is the garden area in the evening. The room was very clean (en suite). Excellent location. We had a lot of fun there !

It's not especially clean but the atmosphere is wonderful and the staff very nice. A good place for meeting lots of people and living in the heart of Cairo.

This hostel is very enjoyable. It's an ideal spot to meet other travelers. Basic but clean and the outdoor seating areas are just superb for lounging around and catching up with others in the evening. Convenient location: -10 min. walk to the Egyptian Museum -10 min. walk to the nearest Metro, Sadat -10 min. taxi to the train station You are well looked after by management. I can recommend this to sole female travelers.

It is a very dirty hostel. It is at the roof. They abuse people.
