Well managed hostel with good facilities in Central Alexandria
Beds were comfortable and facilities such as the hot showers and WiFi proved to work well. The small kitchen is well equipped and suitable for cooking. The hostel was kept clean. The English speaking staff (without exception) is friendly and helpful. They have travel information and most of them are knowledgeable about the city. The common area is spacious. Security is good and there are lockers.
The common area are two rooms ensuite. In one room it is allowed to smoke, but the partition doors are almost always open! and quite a few smokers are inconsiderate. Moreover when the wind is unfavourable smoke reaches other parts of the hostel. In the morning the ashtrays are full with cigarette butts. Brr.
My suggestion treat tobacco the same way as alcohol (only outside the building).
I liked the Egyptian style breakfast, but not the Egyptian style seating (cushions on the floor) and low tables. Perhaps nice if you like local tradition, but if you are a long term traveler from a Western country not comfortable. For me it was not a major issue though.

Outstanding
Located on the 2nd floor of a building right on the seafront, it’s directly halfway between the Citadel of Qaitbay and the Library, and right above or close to lots of nice Egyptian-style cafes (the city is known for its cafe culture). The railway station is a 20 minute walk so nice and close.
The hostel is clean and modern and colourful, with a terrific common area (half of which is sadly given over to smokers, smoking indoors is the norm in Egypt), and is also filled with cushions, books and games. The bathrooms are large and were usually in a good state. Check-in and WiFi access is done via scanning a QR code so very modern, and the dorm has great AC (although it was a little too cold at times) with great beds which have two fab pillows and blankets (!) and an under-bed locker which you are given a padlock for (a 100 LE deposit is taken for this). There is also a “mini-market” tuckshop in reception where you can buy cheap snacks and drinks.
The breakfast is terrific - tea or coffee with a mixed plate of flatbread, Egyptian beans, cream cheese, cucumber, fried egg and a sweet cereal bar. Laundry can be done for 30 LE which is a great price. The staff were all sweet and helpful.
Decent beaches aren’t plentiful in Alexandria but Stanli beach (under the Stanli bridge) isn’t bad, 25 LE entry, and you can easily take an Uber there. The Royal Jewellery Museum is close to there also, as is Gleem Bay, which has plenty of great modern cafes and restaurants.
Overall a fantastic stay, I’m sad I had to leave! Thank you guys!

Absolutely loved this place
Otherwise, you get a great breakfast prepared by the staff in the morning and you can also use the kitchen to cook yourself - which is a huge plus. I've been to many hostels and found this one to have an absolutely lovely ambience about it. My fingers and toes are crossed that they'll soon expand to more areas in Egypt!
