Located in the heart of the city, the Australian Hostel offers a convenient base for exploring. With a bus stop nearby, it's easy to get around. Despite being centrally located, the area is relatively quiet, ensuring a peaceful stay. the spacious rooms are clean and comfortable, with some offering a balcony for a nice view. the staff is friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with any questions or needs.
The cleanliness of the common areas, including the staircase and hallway, could be improved.

The social atmosphere at this hostel was amazing! I had the opportunity to meet people from all over the world and make friendships that will last a lifetime. The common area was the best, with a welcoming and fun energy that made it easy to connect with fellow travelers. The staff were always available and willing to help with any requests. Plus, the pick-up service from the airport was a convenient and affordable option.
The building itself was a bit shabby and had an unpleasant smell, but fortunately, this didn't affect the cleanliness and comfort of the hostel. The bathrooms could use some maintenance, as there were issues with hot water and water quality on some days.

I stayed for 3 weeks at this lovely hostel in an excellent location near attractions and shopping stores. The rooms were spotless and the breakfast was good. The staff, especially Mr. Khaled and Mr. Hisham, were very helpful. There were plenty of nearby restaurants to experience authentic Egyptian food.
Would definitely recommend this hotel.

The friendly and helpful staff made my stay enjoyable. They were fluent in English and provided excellent customer service. Additionally, the location of the hostel was great, close to many restaurants and tourist attractions. It was convenient to explore the city and try different local cuisines. Furthermore, the rooms were clean and well-maintained, with comfortable beds and essential amenities like a fridge and TV.
There were a few drawbacks during my stay. the check-in process was delayed, and we had to wait longer than expected to access our room.

The location of the hostel was really convenient, it was close to the main attractions and easy to find. The staff at the hostel were friendly and helpful, they made me feel welcome and gave me good recommendations for places to visit. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, and the beds were comfortable. I also liked that there was a variety of food options nearby, so it was easy to find something to eat.
There were a few things that I didn't like about my stay. the bathroom could have been cleaner, and the shower was a bit annoying to use as the water temperature kept fluctuating.

We had an amazing stay at the hostel. The location, room condition, and customer service were all top-notch. We were lucky to be given a complimentary upgrade to a spacious and comfortable triple room. The staff, especially Umar, was attentive and helpful throughout our stay. The breakfast provided was delicious and filling, keeping us energized for the day. The hostel's central location made it convenient to explore the city. The beds were comfortable, and the bathroom was clean and well-maintained. We felt welcomed and at home, thanks to the kind and friendly staff. This was definitely our favorite stay during our trip to Egypt.
Everything was great! 👍🏼

Great Location: the hostel was perfectly situated in the heart of the city, making it easy to explore and be close to all the attractions. I could walk everywhere and there were plenty of restaurants and bars nearby.
Noisy: Unfortunately, the noise from the traffic and the constant honking during Ramadan in the evening was quite bothersome. It made it difficult to relax and get a good night's sleep.
