    The hotel is good, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Everything is fine, but the only downside is that there’s no elevator, so it’s a bit hard if you have heavy luggage. Other than that, everything is great, and the location is right in the center.

    Excellent location - right in the heart of hurghada town centre. 5-10 minute walk to marina plus lively cafes and restaurants close by. Remember this isn't a resort! So best beaches a boat trip or trip out of town centre but wonderful and friendly staff can organize what you want and know the good sites.

    Beds were very firm, feeling kind of like slightly softer cardboard on top of the mattress. People were allowed to smoke inside the hostel (just an fyi) in the common area and very few comfortable places to charge devices.

    Shadow, one of the hosts, was the most lovely person. I had a medical event and he contacted one of his friends for advice and looked after me all day. He also booked activities for me and really became a friend. We really appreciated all of his help and presence. There's a kitchen available to cook in and a common area to watch movies or shows. Great suggestions and location near the center.

    There are no indications about where is the hostel, you have to ask around. It is in a second floor with no elevator There personal there doesn't do too much. There were a group of Chinese people that cook everyday at the nights, leaving trash in the floor, bad smell and the locks of the rooms doesn't work, so the door is a little bit open all the time.

    The beds are comfortable There are 3 bathroom Location right in the downtown

    The hostel occupies the second floor in a dirty bulding. There is no access control to the reception or rooms. The improvised kitchen is beside a bathroom. People smoke all the time in the living room, which is the only space where you can eat something or sit and rest a little bit.

    The location is great.

    I really liked this hostel. I stayed for 5 days longer than I planned. The most responsive and helpful staff ever. As soon as I arrived, I was immediately checked in even before check-in time. A friendly young lady from reception showed me everything in the hostel. A guy from reception answered all my questions and gave me useful information: how to buy a SIM card, where to go for juice, where to eat seafood, helped me to make an appointment with a dentist, etc. In the end, these tips helped me a lot. Special thanks to the guy at the reception - Shado. He sincerely helped with all issues and helped in difficult situations.

    Best Hostel in Hurghada Downtown. Loved how friendly the staff are, Mina and Shadow were so helpful. The Hostel is Central and close to every side of the city, cheap prices. I arrived in the middle of the night and yet Check in went very smooth. Calm Rooms in the alley away from traffic noise. Would definitely stay there next time

    There is everything you need, but always there's a room for improvement In the future if they add ironing set plus place to hang your clothes on, it will be perfect but overall it's near to perfect

    The staff were friendly and kind, mina helps you no matter what you need, the location is so close to the Marina and the beaches, and the hostel is clean and comfy even cats like to visit it))

    Everything was amazing!

    Amazing hostel! In a super safe location, next to a very large super market, and incredibly clean rooms/bathrooms/common spaces. I was grateful for how welcoming the host was and how accomodating he was, even asked me about my room preferences. I was hoping to return (change of plans so I didn't) but he was so kind about letting me book directly with him, if I return I will definitely come back here!

    Best place I found during my trip to Egypt. Room is comfortable and bathroom is good, with warm water in shower. There is kitchen and a nice social area. The best thing in here is the host who make you feel at home. Mina is very helpful, nice, kind, flexible and very very honest. He also give the best advices for shops, restaurants and beaches. I really appreciate my stay

    Seems like a scam for booking the stay. If my guest was there and stay for all days then they showed cancelled booking in the reservation.

    My guest stayed in the hostel for all days but hostel made this cancelled booking. I don’t understand why
