Ithaka Raml Hostel is a small budget hostel in the Raml Station area near Anfoushi, on the western side of downtown Alexandria close to the old fishing harbor and the Qaitbay Citadel. The Anfoushi neighborhood is one of Alexandria's oldest and most atmospheric quarters, known for its narrow streets, seafood eateries and views over the Eastern Harbour, giving the hostel a more local, less touristy setting than properties directly on the main Corniche strip. The building offers simple, budget-focused lodging with a shared lounge and rooftop-style terrace that opens onto city and harbor views, a popular gathering spot among guests in the evening. Accommodation includes shared Dorm Beds and Private Rooms, with wifi available throughout. There is no restaurant, pool or spa on site, but the surrounding Anfoushi streets offer inexpensive local seafood and cafes within walking distance. Its position makes it a convenient base for walking to the Qaitbay Citadel and the old harbor, while the Raml tram stop nearby connects guests to downtown and the wider Corniche.
