• Alvaro (10/5): 10/10 - Super clean, super convenient, staff 24/7, and very silent. 10/10 Nothing, it was perfect. The bathroom was outside the room but it was private just for us, so didn't change anything.

• Charissa (9/5): It was a good experience to stay this hostel, it is in a very good location, about 6 minutes to the Metro station; 20 mi - The facilities are very old, especially the elevator. But the room is good, clean, has a balcony.
• Kim (10/5): Great value and amazing host - The room was comfortable and had enough space for our backpacks. The host was very kind: he waited for us to checkin at midnight and allowed us to shower and wait at the reception after we had checked out The street is noisy at night and you hear it from the room. But that’s the case with a lot of places in Cairo. Bring your earplugs and you’ll be fine

• LULU (8/5): - 位置很好，去老埃及博物馆和解放广场都很近。楼道和酒店都挺干净的。晚上12点前，街道外面是挺吵的，但是附近的酒店也都如此，这是开罗的问题，与酒店无关。12点后，不算太吵，可以入睡。酒店员工，大部分时间都很友好。关于电梯，第一次来可以让楼下的管理员帮你刷电梯卡，坐电梯上来。 有一晚12点前，比较莫名其妙，被员工叫停用吹风机。外面和旁边都还挺吵的，我们应该也不至于影响到别人。
• Camille (9/5): - Chambre lumineuse, spacieuse avec une terrasse appréciable. Située dans un appartement, elle permet également un accès à la cuisine, ce qui est très pratique. Grâce à la grande gentillesse d’Ousmen, j’ai pu disposer de la chambre bien avant l’heure de check-in, ce que j’ai beaucoup apprécié. Une expérience très positive — je recommande vivement cet hôtel. Tout était très bien
• Issam (9/5): Good place. Nice ataff. - Nice staff, osama and ahmed and the others. They have kitchen, one can prepare and keep his food himself. A shop exists downstair of the hostel. The hostel is very close to the main places of downtown. Talat harb street, nile river. Old city..... It is easy to find Uber in that nighbour. Personaly, I do not like to use the ac. So that I open the Window at night. The pets at the street cause a little bit noise

• SHAIMAA (9/5): Can’t wait to visit it again - This place surprised me , clean comfortable furniture, amazing price and wonderful staff All good
• Lu (9/5): - 价格合理，位置也很好，旁边就有便利店和小咖啡馆。主人非常友善和热情，允许我们寄存行李并提前几分钟入住。 电梯必须要刷卡才能使用，所以第一次抵达时只能走楼梯。
• Mohammad (10/5): - Big thanks for Mr.osama
• Stone (9/5): Friendly, clean, affordable and centrally located -- Great value! - I had a single room with balcony and attached bathroom, and it looked just like in the pictures. It was clean and comfortable. The front desk attendant was very welcoming and kind, especially considering that I arrived after 2 am after long flight. The bathroom was very clean, and there was plenty of hot water. The view of the balcony is from the 4th floor, a good distance from the noisy traffic below. You can easily close the windows and shutters to minimize the noise, and there are good curtains to block out the light. The hotel is centrally located in downtown, easy walking distance to a couple of metro stations and not that far from Tahrir Square. Overall, it's a basic hotel, but still great value. The hotel is located on the 4th floor of an old building. Climbing up the steps doesn't give the best impression. But this is minor and once on the 4th floor the hotel is to the left. There is an elevator, but I didn't use it, except when the front desk attendant used the key to open the door of the elevator for me to go down on it. There are different businesses in the building on different floors. They would do well to sweep and clean the lobby area and tidy it up a bit, as well as sweep and clean the sidewalks outside. But don't let first impressions put you off. The hotel is a great option for budget travelers who would like to stay in a central location in Cairo.
• Jo (7/5): -
• selvatika (10/5): Absolutely recommended - The hostel is very nice, clean and has a friendly and kind staff. I booked the double room with private bathroom for me and my sister and it was spacious. The bathroom is tiny and has a falling-on-the-floor shower, yes, but guys: this is absolutely common in many Countries in there world, and it doesn't mean you are going to experience any discomfort. Infacts it was clean and with warm water, which is everything really needed. We used the common kitchen to prepare our breakfast and warm up street food (we travelled during Ramadan, so we bought three nights before, for the following lunch), which was perfectly functioning, clean and equipped. We stayed for 4 days and it was perfect: quiet, friendly and smooth. Hope we will visit again.
• I TING (10/5): - 全部都喜歡，熱水澡太棒了
• I TING (10/5): - 服務棒，房間棒
• Sánchez Maria Del Carmen (9/5): - El olorcito a limpio y lo limpio que estaba el cuarto nos enamoró! Internet malo(pero creo q es malo en el país en general)
• Ahmed Hichem (8/5): - The room was comfortable and clean. The staff was so welcoming and friendly. They were ready to help with everything at any time. The private bathroom (toilet) was small. Taking a shower was a little complicated but it was possible to use the shared bathroom.
• Qing (10/5): -
• Köroğlu (10/5): Great stay in Cairo - Clean room and bathroom. Not a big problem but the price could be %10 lesser than the actual one.
• aysecamurcu (7/5): suitable for short stays - If you want to stay in a cheap place, you can choose this place. Also, we checked in at night and the staff were very helpful. Honestly, it wasn't a very clean place in terms of hygiene. The toilet and bathroom, in particular, didn't feel very clean.
• İslim (7/5): Good location, good price. If you are not looking for luxury, this hotel is perfect for you. -
• BLOT (7/5): - l’emplacement La salle de bain « privative » ne l’est pas, elle est partagée avec d’autres personnes
• jiang (10/5): -
• Hajk (8/5): Thank you - The walls of my room were thin. I heard everything from outside but I stayed one night only, so I didn't care. Room was clean. Low price. Thin walls
• Abdelaziz (10/5): Loved my stay at golden star - Clean room and good location to reach all tourism places in Cairo quickly Staff very respectful Nice balcony to take a morning coffee or a sweet dinner at night If you don't like car noises you gonna hear a lot because you are in the downtown of course But if you close the windows you the noise is largely attenuated

• Agata (9/5): - Bardzo fajny pokój, świeża pościel, ciepła woda. Świetna lokalizacja. Przemiła obsługa. Czasem są problemy z wifi
• Pol (8/5): -
• YUE (10/5): - 位置优越，离解放广场近，出行很方便。 员工非常热情友好。 我们定的房间有一个小阳台，比较漂亮。 晚上街道会有狗叫，不过这是开罗日常，不是宾馆的问题。
• Ignacio (8/5): Buena calidad precio - El precio para pasar unas horas descansando antes del vuelo. Céntrico y teniendo en cuenta como son los hoteles limpio y operativo. Es un hotel de batalla en el Cairo. En un callejón y edificios muy viejos y sucios. Pero te da el servicio.
• Korkmaz (8/5): -
• lin (7/5): -
• Ruben (7/5): - El personal Es muy viejo, ruidoso y con mal mantenimiento. Poca presión de agua y el edificio está muy sucio
• Dalia (10/5): - Sehr nettes personal
• Gleb (1/5): Don’t recommend at all - Building is very beautiful and nothing good else First of all i never got the room i booked. I spent there 5 days and wi-fi didn’t work at all. They gave me room I didn’t book it was very dirty and beds looked not changed. Half of the staff does not speak any English and just laughs if you came to them with a problem
• Paula (8/5): Bona estada - Molt bé. Habitacions netes i ben situat. Personal amable
• Ramazan Vahid (9/5): - Çalışanlar çok ilgili ve yardımseverdi Odalar çok fazla ses geçiriyor ve klimalar çalışmıyordu
• Abo-al3ela (9/5): -
• Antoine (8/5): Nikel - Nous avons été très bien accueilli. L’emplacement est top ainsi que la chambre. Le bruit de la rue car même si c’est en centre ville des doubles vitrages atténueraient grandement.
• Pedro (7/5): -
• YUNHEE (8/5): 타흐리르 광장에서 도보 약 10분 거리, 테라스 있는 가성비 좋은 숙소 - 타흐리르 광장에서 걸어서 약 10분이라 관광지와 가깝습니다 근처에 슈퍼마켓도 있고 맛집으로 유명한 아부타릭 코샤리도 근처에 있어서 좋습니다 엘레베이터가 있어서 윗층까지 편하게 올라올 수 있습니다 화장실도 방안에 있고 테라스가 따로 있습니다 침대도 넓고 따뜻한 물도 잘 나옵니다 입구가 도로에서 살짝 안 쪽에 있어서 잘 찾아와야 합니다 호스텔 간판이 입구 큰 문 오른편에 흰색 작은 판에 써있습니다 테라스가 있는 건 좋지만 도로의 소음이 조금 들리는 편입니다

• yilmaztpz (8/5): Cozy friendly hotel - Clean ,nice triple room and very helpfull staff in dowtown. they allow you to keep your luggage for night flight.there is elevator. We stayed in The triple room just across very noisy street(all streets are noisy in egypt :). If you use airconditions ,no problem because you close the windows. . If you are sensitive to airconditions ,need to turn it off and need to open the windows, it is very noisy. Even you can not sleep as windows open.
• Michael (10/5): -
• Anish (8/5): Good stay, restaurants and egp museum nearby - The staff was good and welcoming, and the rooms were clean. The location was good but the building was too old and the entrance was small but the room we stayed in was good. Actually most of the hotels now keep our luggage if we want to keep there and travel for a day but here only for some time it's free but if it is for a day they charge accordingly, for me they had 100 egp per day. I don't say they are charging more but comparing other stays at least they can give that option for guests visiting there which will be helpful. Because for a one day desert tour it would be really helpful.
• Yuki (9/5): - バルコニーからの眺め、地下鉄に近くて便利、フロントの人が丁寧に事前連絡をしてくれた。 バスルーム(トイレ含む)がフロントの前を通過しないと行けない為、女性なら少し気を遣うかも。
• Khalil (9/5): -
• Yutaka (9/5): -
• Taige (10/5): Good. Out of expectations - Room is big and clean. In downtown but not load at night. Have functioning AC. In general it's cleaner than most places I stayed in same price range. Stuff are helpful No.
• Mohamed (10/5): The place is clean and quiet, one of my most comfortable stays! - The place is clean and quiet, one of my most comfortable stays!
• Keith (9/5): - Very very clean with beautiful floor and wall tiles. It was a little loud, so I should have brought earplugs.
• Courtlyn (9/5): Best value for private room in Cairo! - Good location, the staff was friendly and helpful, the aircon functioned well, the water was hot, towels were included, the beds were comfortable, and it was the best deal on booking for a private room. Would absolutely stay again.
• Magda (9/5): - Very clean fir a hostel,posibility to use fridge ,cookmasine,good AC,internet The noise from the street....is normal for downtown.
• Magda (9/5): - Very clean,silance in the hotel,nice people,acces to the kitchen and fridge,sure place to come,24 h reception. Noise on the street but htat is in the downtown.
• Agnieszka (9/5): We stayed two nights when visiting Cairo. The place was conveniently located and 15 15-minute walk to the bus station an - The place was located in a good area, close to the museum and the market. There was a kitchen that could be used to make coffee, food, fridge was available as well. The room was good size and the balcony was a nice addition. Aircon was working well and there was hot water. The staff at the reception were very nice and helpful too. The bathroom was very small but sufficient for a couple of nights.
• SungJoo (10/5): - They took us for early check in. Room was clean. Water pressure was nice. The room was so quiet! I’d like to stay more night here Nothing
• عبدالباسط (7/5): - أقمت في هذا الفندق ليلتين انا وصديقي من ليبيا كان الطاقم جيد جدا انصح به
• Ahmed (8/5): - alls okay
• Algerien (10/5): فندق ارئع وأنصح به كثيرا - أنا من الجزائر وقد أقمت في هذا الفندق العام الماضي مع الزوجة وهذه الأيام أقمت فيه مع الوالدة هذا الأيام لمدة أسبوع، فندق رائع ومريح جدا، طاقم العمل راقي في تعامله وفي خدماته، الموقع قريب من كل ما يحتاجه المقيم في القاهرة، أنصح به كلّ من يأتي إليها، وأنا عن نفسي لن أفكّر في غيره
• Khalid Eltayeb (9/5): -
• Gizem (10/5): -
• Chris (8/5): Une chambre reposante. - La chambre était super propre et le petit déjeuner génial. La personne de l'accueil nous a attendu jusque tard dans la nuit, et ce avec beaucoup de bienveillance. Le seul hic était pour trouver l'emplacement de l'hôtel à 4h du matin, très peu d'indications pour trouver le bon bâtiment. Un enfant a pleuré à en hurler durant les 2 nuits passées ici, réveillé en sursaut, c'est un peu perturbant.
• هتان (8/5): - الموقع في وسط البلد، نظافة المكان، التعامل الودود و الابتسامة من الموظفين ياليت لو كان في ثلاجة صغيرة في الغرفة، خاصه مع هذه الأجواء الحارة جدا
• شرايف (10/5): إقامة رائعة - كل شي اعجبني النظافة التعامل الراقي من الجميع وخاصة الاستاذ أسامة لاشي

• Nicole (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect budget hotel in a great location
• Emtiaz (9/5): Overall very good - Very clean and near to the tahrir. Very welcoming
• Michalina (10/5): Exceptional - No complaints. The receptionist Usama was very friendly and helpful
• Akram (9/5): Superb - Great location. Very clean. Wonderful staff, I recommend it strongly.
• Viktor (9/5): Superb - Great hotel in the center for a good price, very clean and cozy, kind and friendly staff. I took one ball only because of the noise on the street. Windows without soundproofing and quiet at night central avenue Street noise will disturb who have light sleep
• Aleksandra (9/5): Exceptional value for money, recommend the hostel and will visit again - The room was very comfortable, tidy and spacious what surpassed my expectations for the hostel. It also had a balcony which was a nice surprise for me. Location is wonderful, the hostel is in the city centre and the subway station is nearby. There is a typical Egyptian 'food store' at the other side of the street which also is great. And hosts are always ready to help you, you will always find someone in the hostel. Apart from that they just warm and kind people, great service. Another advantage is that, without counting the noise coming from outside, the hostel itself is very quiet, you feel that you can rest there. You can hear city sounds in your room so be prepared. But it is more a characteristic of Cairo centre rather than the location of the hostel itself, everywhere is noisy there. It would be a great improvement to install a shower cabin in the common bathroom because currently water goes outside and it is easy to slip.
• Guillermo (8/5): Very good - The personal, only one speaks proper English, but all of them were quite nice. The room was adequate, comfortable and clean, the kitchen, though small, well equipped. Something really important in Cairo, the room window close well, and you can sleep without hearing the noises of the street (that is quite a deal)
• Anas (6/5): Please read carefully about room description, some of them do have separated bathrooms from the room - Location and friendly staff. Price as well Privacy was an issue. Narrow Bathroom and toilet, were in the same space.
