    Nothing.

    The hostel is very central, close to the Egyptian Museum. The hotel is very new and clean, with wooden furnitures. But the best thing is the staff! They are super kind, also during night hours. They are very supportive. I really reccommend it!

    Everything is great. If we had to put something negative, we would say the beds are a little bit hard, but other than that, everything is fine.

    The staff was great and always helpful. We mostly had to interact with Ziad, whose smile and attention were very appreciated. He offered early breakfast for the day we went to the pyramids and gave us a fan at night when the AC stopped working. We then could switch room. Breakfast is big and great. Location is perfect. Communication is easy. The rooms we not noisy at all. The price was very good for what we had. Wi-fi was also working very well. We would definitely recommend.

    Honestly - for the price we paid I have nothing negative to say about this place.

    Absolutely wonderful place. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Nice twin room with ensuite and excellent Aircon. 2 communal areas with kitchens - free tea coffee and bottled water. The breakfast was also very good. Great location right in the middle of downtown.For the price I can't believe how they do it.

    The private bathroom in our room was not totally closed until the roof, so the noises and smells could affect other people's in the room.

    The people in the hostel was very polite and helpful and always with the smile.

    I had a wonderful experience staying at this hostel in Cairo. The place was very clean and well-maintained, which made me feel comfortable from the moment I arrived. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful — they always greeted me with a smile and were happy to answer any questions I had about the city or travel tips. One of the highlights of my stay was the breakfast. It was fresh, tasty, and a perfect way to start the day before heading out to explore Cairo. The atmosphere at the hostel was also relaxed and welcoming, making it easy to meet other travelers. Overall, I highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Cairo. It’s a great place to stay if you’re looking for comfort, cleanliness, and warm hospitality.

    Cairo is quite noisy everywhere, and one has to get used to it. So if one has difficulty sleeping, earplugs would be advised, as the noise from the street could be heard in the room. However, my room was facing a side street, so it was more or less acceptable, at least for Cairo standards.

    The Hostel is very centrally located, in a lively area and close to the Egyptian Museum. It is also clean, But the most important asset of the Hostel are the people running it. They made me feel very welcome in every way they could. They were always very polite and helpful with anything I needed (e.g. ordering food for me, offering me advice or information about the surroundings), and always with a sincere smile. It felt like a second home for me. I would definitely come back if I am in Cairo again in the future.

    The hostel was very clean. It is in a central location close to the Nile River, the Egyptian Museum and Tahrir Square. The staff was very helpful and friendly, their hospitality was very good. We would like to thank Mr. Bassam, Mr. Basem, Mrs. Eveny and Mrs. Omnia for their friendliness and hospitality. Although we did not use it, the hostel also offers kitchen facilities for you to cook your own meals. Thank you.
