The friendly staff and the good location

All the staff are friendly, and the location and facilities of the accommodation are perfect. If you’re considering a place to stay in Cairo, this should be your first choice.

Well-maintained building, super accessible and friendly staff, central location, comfortable and clean room w/air con and fridge.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely loved my stay! The hotel was clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. Their hospitality truly made the experience even better. Highly recommended – a perfect 5-star stay!

* Clean * Comfortable * Central location * Helpful and friendly staff *Air conditioning * Affordable prices There are many good restaurants nearby.

It is more like a hotel than a hostel. However, if you are looking for inexpensive, clean, comfortable, air-conditioned rooms then this place is the best option in downtown Cairo.

Good staff And very comfortable Delicious breakfast Shoutout for Mahmoud

Best hostel in downtown cairo

Very friendly staff working at the reception. The breakfast is nice. The rooms have AC and privacy curtains which is a big plus. The hostel is in a great location and within walking distance from the Egyptian Museum and the Nile.

Room Comfort & Convenience: The room, though simple, was adequately spacious for my friend and me. The beds were surprisingly comfortable after long days of exploring, and we really appreciated the individual power outlets near the beds for charging devices. Prime Location: The hostel's location was undoubtedly its biggest strength. It was incredibly central, making it easy to walk to major attractions like the Egyptian Museum and a variety of local eateries. Public transport links were also readily accessible, which was a huge plus for getting around the city. The vibrant atmosphere of the surrounding area added to the overall Cairo experience. Common Area Cleanliness: The common areas, especially the reception, were consistently well-maintained and appeared clean. The staff made a visible effort to keep these spaces tidy throughout the day.

Room Aesthetics & Noise: The decor in the room felt quite dated, and the lighting was a bit dim, making it feel less inviting. There was also a noticeable issue with noise transfer from the outside, which occasionally disturbed our sleep. Chaotic Surroundings: While central, the immediate street could be quite chaotic and noisy, especially in the evenings, which might not suit those looking for a very quiet retreat. Finding the entrance initially was also a bit tricky amidst the bustling street. Inconsistent Cleanliness (Stairs): While our room itself was generally clean upon arrival, the stairs leading to the hostel were not clean.
