We are two girls travelling around Africa and found this hostel to be the best ever! The rooms were big and clean, plus the common area was a cool place to hang out. We felt really safe and welcome there and honestly could not have asked for a better place to stay. The staff were cool and helpful and organised... More

Great little hostel in downtown. Couldn't ask for better location or more helpful staff. Rooms and bathroom were very clean. I was travelling with my wife, and we went on the tours that the hostel organized for us.

One of the cleanest and most comfortable hostels I have ever stayed in, more like a hotel with a common area and computer. Our bathroom was clean, and the "hot water" was actually hot (not always the case at hostels advertising hot water)! The staff were very friendly. They were happy to give us travel information and kept bringing us... More

I escaped from 2 other AWFUL hostels where I was sexually harassed and verbally abused as a solo female traveller...and the Australian Hostel was like the one safe place for me in all of Cairo.

During my stay in Cairo, a few friends and I stayed at the Australian Hostel and we loved our stay. We stayed in a "private room" there instead of the dorm and it was great. No problems with the room or anything. The water was hot and everything was clean. They even picked us up from the airport, which was... More

I traveled to Egypt with 10 other people (all in our 20s) and the guys at The Australian Hostel helped us out from beginning to end. They helped us arrange all of our movements in and around Cairo, and even pulled everything together for our 3 days in Luxor. The rooms are simple and comfortable, the bathrooms are clean, and...

Beds were great after some of the stuff we've found along the way. HOT WATER is amazing....... Nice and centally located. I've been to egypt many times so didn't need... More
