Ben Lyons

06 June 2008 Ben would recommend this property

Liked: The staff are particularly helpful. George in particular speaks impeccable english and is a good point of contact to start your stay in Egypt. He will give you a good idea of how much you should really be paying for certain services and, if you choose, will provide many tours and services from the hostel at a price that has not been inflated. The hostel is small and simple but the basics are covered and as in any small hostel it's the people that make you want to stay. I had planned to stay only one or two nights but ended up making it my base for the whole time I was in Egypt simply because I knew I could turn to the staff and have things taken care of. Highly recommended.
