I stayed in a private room in this hostel for a few nights while in Cairo. They forgot to pick me up from the airport (which was stressful because I arrived around 2:00am). They had offered to cover the cost of my cab but when they found out I mistakenly overpaid (they didn't tell me how much it should cost)... More

We stayed in this hostel for three nights while we were in Cairo. We arrived late at night and had some difficulty finding the hostel. When we finally found it and walked into the building's lobby, we thought we had the wrong place. The hotel is on the fourth and fifth floors of the building, and the lower floors of... More

My fiance and I spent 5 nights at the Australian Hostel in January 2011. For such a long stay you get a free airport pick up and a free tour to Giza (read: free transport there and back) Both worked out fine, a driver was waiting for us outside the airport (we didn't know at first, but for security reasons...

My husband and I arrived late at night to the international airport, and our free pickup was there as planned. Unfortunately that night they had overbooked (apparently quite common), and we were given the option of sharing a room with another couple, or we could have it to ourselves. We happily shared (imagining that it could have been us that... More

I stayed at the Australian Hostel for 3 nights & thought it was great value for money. The room was clean, the service was great & I would definitely stay there again. I met alot of other travellers of all age groups & nationalities in the common room & have stayed in touch with most of them. The Hostel is... More

The room was spacious with lovely balcony overlook the downtown of cairo. Bathroom was reasonably clean and I did not find any issues. Could get hot shower. Simple breakfast was included, and...

Myself and four friends stayed at the Australian hostel for four nights during our trip to Cairo in September. On first impressions, the hostel was dirty with stray cats and blood stained stairs. My friends had a room with a private bathroom that they found good value for money however the rest of us shared a triple with shared facilities... More

Airport pickup was fine, staff was nice enough but the hostel was filthy (and I am used to staying in budget hostels). On our way up the stairs there were several cockroaches. The room itself was very big but undeniably dirty. The sheets had hair and dirt - thankfully we had sleep sheets. There was literally urine on the toilet... More

We stayed at the Australian Hostel for over a week and would happily go back again. The staff were extremely friendly and have plenty of local advice. A simple breakfast of bread, cheese, jam, coffee/tea is provided and the rooms are cleaned every day. Their one-day tour of the pyramids is quite economical if you share with a few others... More
