Dahab Hostel

Awesome place! highly recommend

Great atmosphere, location and people!

Amazing Hostel! Really enjoyed the place and the staff is a 10/10. The events they organized were super fun and they have great recommendations. Super happy I stayed here and can’t wait to come back!

Great hostel ! Good recommandations and tours

Great hostel, very social and central in Cairo with rooftop views

Overall nice property. Good vibes, has a working kitchen fully stocked toilets and relatively reliable showers which is quite rare for egypt. View from the rooftop is absolutely gorgeous with the sunset and is relatively quiet and peaceful from the chaos at ground level. Rooms are nice although the aircon ran slightly hot at times. Very social for egypt and found myself with a solid group of people after just the first night. Ended up with bed bug bites ,not sure if it was this hostel or previou

Honestly the best vibes i ever had in a hostel. The place with it’s rooftop is super nice and spacious, so you can choose to unwind after your day or meet fellow travelers. The staff is super chill and will do anything in their power to make sure that you have a good time, wether it’s asking about your day, recommending places and trips, and including you in the hostel group. When I arrived as a solo traveler, they immediately made sure felt at home and welcomed. They do all kinds of activit...

I highly recommend to staying at this beautiful place extremely clean, peaceful and with the most friendly staff right in the hard of the city; it feels more like home than a hostel. Ask Fady (the best receptionist) for his amazing recommendations to explore Egypt; food, tours, what to do and whatever you need. The best hostel ever! 🫶🏽✨

Great place. Beautiful, quiet oasis on a rooftop right in the buzzing city centre. The staff is amazing.

I had an amazing stay at Dahab Hostel—it truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel at home. They’re not just helpful, they genuinely care and go out of their way for you. The atmosphere is calm and peaceful, which is rare in a busy city like Cairo. I especially loved the rooftop—it became my favorite spot to sit, relax, and even get some editing done on my laptop. This place feels human—warm, welcoming, and real. I’d definitely come back.

Really nice and social hostel.

Everything was amazing besides the flush in the toilets not working properly all the time. Staff, breakfast, location, everything else was amazing.

Super hostel avec une très bonne ambiance, très bien situé au cœur du Caire! Excursions, conseils et convivialité sont au rendez vous ;)

An excellent Hostel all around located in the very heart of cairo. The Hostel itself is busteling with travellers from all around the world who are looking to explore everything that Cairo and Egypt has to offer. The Personnel are all always there when you need them and are very welcoming of everyone. The atmosphere is very social with daily trips being organized to keep things interesting. The bathrooms were newly renovated and are exquisitely clean. All in all it is THE place to stay in Cairo!

I use Hostelworld for all my hostel accommodation, and Dahab Hostel is certainly one of the best hostels I have stayed. Its location is good, and especially for being easy walking distance from the Go Bus station. The facilities are very good, and kept very clean. The breakfast was awesome! All the staff were excellent, and especially H on reception who also organised some tours around Egypt. I continued to use Dahab Hostel as a base between tours.

Unfortunately had a bad experience, even though I remembered this place very well from 3 years ago. The staff were not nice at all, didn’t help me or pay attention during check in and I had to find everything myself. Kitchen was very dirty and I got a very bad attitude from the lady working there. WiFi didn’t work. Staff hitting on female guests, and otherwise not helpful or friendly.

Truly amazing hostel. The location is super central, the rooftop is beautiful any hour of the day, filled with plants and social areas. Super super welcoming and funny staff who like to engage with us guests. The showers are sooo gooood, all the facilities are! Very clean, good breakfast, broad offers for trips all around. Oh and super comfy big blankets. Wonderfully warm & social atmosphere. Truly one of a kind hostel!

I stayed here twice throughout my trip and each experience was wonderful. I opted for a private room, which was clean and comfortable enough for my stay. The highlights were the facilities, particularly the spacious, beautiful rooftop terrance, perfect for relaxing and socializing after a long day. The staff were also very kind and helpful, especially Ahmed. I would definitely stay here again!

The hostel is very peaceful feels like a sanctuary away from the chaos of the city and the staff is incredibly kind and helpful. I highly recommend staying here when you’re in Cairo.

Great stay in good spot in town. Staff went out of their way to accommodate us. Even called me an Uber when all the Ubers I tried from the GEM tried to scam me. Their tour to the Citadel, Coptic Cairo and the Mosk was great too (driver only). We skipped a museum and he was willing to take us to the Cave Church of St Simon instead. Would surely recommend this hostel!
