Perfect hostel and location. I stayed for 9 nights.
Don’t hesitate to book. Fast and friendly communication via WhatsApp. 24h reception. Good breakfast. I can confirm that sheets are changed after every guest. Regular cleaning. You will love the little kitten with his attitude.
But the negatives, and this is only to provide a full picture. Not because any of these are that important:
1. 10% percent off if you book 3+ days direct through them but in low season at least, the price is the same cost as booking through app.
2. 2% added CC card fee
3. Problem with hot water in womens for last two days but prior to that, it was continual hot water.
4. No bidet at all
5. Lift doesn’t work but it’s not listed to work. I’m just adding this so others with mobility issues know!
6. The kitchen could be better organised and with some newer cookware and utensils. Old pots with the coating worn off aren’t safe. Just plain metal pots would be ideal and would be long lasting. Would also be nice to provide basics like cooking oil, salt and pepper in a communal spot because while there are some spices etc, they werent organised and I don’t know if they were for communal use? Just laying it out and labelling better would be nice.
I had my second visit to Ithaka Hostel, but this time at the Raml Branch. I came here 3 years ago, it was a lovely experience at the time, and they only got better since!
The staff are very friendly and helpful, ALL of them. From the housekeepers, specially Marwa, to the admins and everyone.
The place is clean and well maintained, the location is great, close to plenty attractions of Alexandria. The atmosphere is very friendly if you would love to know and meet people from all over the world.
Overall: really great value for the price and would love to make another visit inshallah.
Thanks guys and keep up the good work ❤️

Un accueil très chaleureux, des gens supers gentils et très serviables. Les lieux sont très propres que ce soit les chambres ou les lieux communs .
Le petit déjeuner était très bon et maison.
Si je reviens à Alexandrie c’est certain que j’y retournerai.

I was extremely happy with my experience at this place. It is warm, comfortable, and very clean. The team is incredibly kind, friendly, and welcoming, and they supported me a lot during my stay in Alexandria. This will definitely be my go-to place from now on.
