David Hostel

The hostel isn't that clean and David didn't deliver what was promised. Location is VERY noisy all night. The windows don't close all the way or block out sound, so all you hear is loud talking, singing, prayers, and people on the street all night. It was a cheap price, but I ended up switching to another place that cost a little more but was way more comfortable. We booked online and it said dinner was included, yet we never got any dinner the days we stayed. We even asked the front desk girl and she was just unhelpful and told us to out and eat if we're hungry. Made us feel bad about asking for something that they said was included with our stay. Bathroom wasn't that great since it's shared with several other rooms. Location was not near anything walking distance. You needed to get a taxi for everything.

The best hostel i booked in Egypt in my entire trip, and the cheapest one as well. You won't believe but i paid just 5 USD per night for a private room. They picked me up from the train station the day I arrive for free and they did my laundry for free as well. I feel so embarrassed paying just 10USD for 2 nights. But the best oart and the reason why i am writing this review is because i left a pizza in the fridge and the next day I found just the leftovers. I talked to the owner, but just to let them know, not like a complain, but 10min later they brought me a homemade Pizza. 🍕 i was in shock lol. They are doing too much.

You get what you pay. Probably cheapest place to stay in Aswan and it shows. The hostel was a bit far from the downtown in a very residential neighbourhood. The facilities were very basic, and not the cleanest bathrooms. We were also the only ones there. Nevertheless, this reflects what you pay - so if you are looking for a basic accommodation in Aswan I would definitely recommend it. The rooms are basic but comfortable. Wifi worked well. David the owner was very helpful and present, also giving us a ride to the airport for a good price the next day (with a small breakfast included). You can get a minibus for only 2LE into the city centre, which is super cheap.

The location is good. The price is unbelievably amazing, the place is clean. David and his wife were such a lovely people very friendly, helpful and cooperative. We asked David for places to visit and he nicely recommended so many with many options of transportation. We even wanted to extend for but unfortunately it was fully booked. Next time I’ll definitely go there with no doubt.

location wise and i felt home away from my comfort zone. thanks sir David for all the help and free tasteful breakfast food ! i will definitely recommend this hostel so that others may experience what i felt like! #book-now!

Please search the bad reviews on Booking, Google and Tripadvisor before booking. The man working there was accused of ******, and more, multiple times. He also replies to the negative reviews unprofessionally, belittling the other person and trying to make them sound crazy. I and my husband were given a room in a BASEMENT, with no cellular connection, a shower not working, a toilet that was broken and would not flush, broken electrical sockets with holes in the wall. The street next to the hostel is EXTREMELY noisy, to the point I was waking up every 5 minutes. The owner of the hostel was very rude, grumpy and disrespectful. Since he opened the door, no smile, no greeting, only a grumpy look on his face - we felt like he was angry at us. He even got irritated at my husband for carrying our suitcase to our room because it made a bit of sound - we understood he implied that we should leave it in the public corridor. We felt that the way he talks to his guests is entirely unprofessional and unappreciated. As if this wasn't enough, we had an issue with this man about our marriage certificate, even though prior to our arrival he did not inform us he has any specific requirements (and nowhere else did we have any problem). He also said if I'm married I have to have it written in my EU passport (which is incorrect)..... He put us in separate rooms for the night, cancelled the rest of our stay and forbade us to sit together in the middle of the night to find another accommodation for the next night (he literally said I have to go to my room). I felt he was sexist as he only spoke to my husband in Arabic and refused to speak English to me despite my MULTIPLE requests. Moreover, he insulted my husband and implied he's stupid referring to his university degree. I cried the whole night as we tried to find another hotel and my husband tried to calm me down - that's how we enjoyed Aswan. We left the next morning as everything in the city was too expensive so last minute. David Hostel is so cheap for a reason.
