I stayed in summer for 2 weeks in one of the best rooms equipped with a van. The rooms are small and suit the price. Unfortunately, they're not cleaned well, the guys could do better. But they're relaxed and just want to offer a cheap place to stay. So don't expect to much. But don't wait to go to this... more

Rooms are not amazing but definitely good for the price, staff were very helpful with recommendations of what to do in Cairo. Best thing of all was the roof terrace. Excellent location in Downtown. Short walk to the Egyptian Museum. more

This place is falling apart, literally. The description does not do it justice. It is on the roof top of a building in Cairo, giving it the slight alure of an oasis and the reception staff were very kind when they weren't pushing their overpriced tours, but the rooms are small and old...the power point falling out of the wall!... more

Definitely for experienced backpackers, Dahab provides the basics well, but don't expect any luxuries. Toilet paper is not provided; hot water is not guaranteed.

The communal bathrooms are better than the private bathrooms, and seem to... more

Don't let the laid back garden and attractive prices fool you !! The place is a flea trap run by dodgy liars who would sell you out to make an extra pound. I will never come here again more

It is cheap and right in the center of Cairo. The staff are friendly. So it is a good deal...if you don't go there during the summer. The fans aren't powerful enough to cool the rooms and, trust me, sleeping with 30º C at night...is quite a challenge!! I guess that this can be a mecca for backpackers the rest... more

4/4 found this review helpful

The main appeal of this rooftop hotel is it's unique character, with strange murals on the walls, the spooky puffer fish lamp and numerous resident cats. Centrally located a short walk from the Talaat Harb, many resteraunts and the Egyptian Museum (even if crossing the roads can be a bit scary). The price was around US$3 a night for a... more
