    It is more like a hotel than a hostel. However, if you are looking for inexpensive, clean, comfortable, air-conditioned rooms then this place is the best option in downtown Cairo.

    * Clean * Comfortable * Central location * Helpful and friendly staff *Air conditioning * Affordable prices There are many good restaurants nearby.

    Room Aesthetics & Noise: The decor in the room felt quite dated, and the lighting was a bit dim, making it feel less inviting. There was also a noticeable issue with noise transfer from the outside, which occasionally disturbed our sleep. Chaotic Surroundings: While central, the immediate street could be quite chaotic and noisy, especially in the evenings, which might not suit those looking for a very quiet retreat. Finding the entrance initially was also a bit tricky amidst the bustling street. Inconsistent Cleanliness (Stairs): While our room itself was generally clean upon arrival, the stairs leading to the hostel were not clean.

    Room Comfort & Convenience: The room, though simple, was adequately spacious for my friend and me. The beds were surprisingly comfortable after long days of exploring, and we really appreciated the individual power outlets near the beds for charging devices. Prime Location: The hostel's location was undoubtedly its biggest strength. It was incredibly central, making it easy to walk to major attractions like the Egyptian Museum and a variety of local eateries. Public transport links were also readily accessible, which was a huge plus for getting around the city. The vibrant atmosphere of the surrounding area added to the overall Cairo experience. Common Area Cleanliness: The common areas, especially the reception, were consistently well-maintained and appeared clean. The staff made a visible effort to keep these spaces tidy throughout the day.

    There are no wifi routers in every room so the internet was not the best and unstable at times.

    The reception is friendly and flexible. The common space is comfy. The toilets are clean. Overall nice experience.

    The only thing which wasn’t perfect is the shower, would be better with a shower curtain instead of having a wet toilet. But works well, it’s really only optical.

    Very friendly people, tasty breakfast with egyptian/arabic tastes, room very clean. And the cats in the house are fed, which seems to be very rare.

    This is nothing major but having an extra handle at the top of the bunks would be beneficial.

    The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was always tasty and filling.

    Everything was perfect.

    Hi, I loved my stay in Australian Hostel. First of all the staff was so friendly and nice people. Secondly, it is in the center of Cairo and close to everywhere. It was really so fun to stay in that hostel , whenever ı come to Cairo , I will make sure that I am staying in that hostel. And Especially ı want to thank Hazem and Mahmud.
