Guest Reviews
- Sara (8/5): - I believe it is the most neat place in downtown… my go to place
- Akira (8/5): - とてもきれいで過ごしやすかった。
スタッフの対応も良い方だと思う。 宿のwi-fiが遅いことが多かった。
ランドリーはなく服の洗濯はスタッフに頼む必要がある(有料)が、翌々日まで戻ってこないので少々困った。
- Mohamed (8/5): -
- Carla (10/5): Excelente localização, excelente staff, excelente qualidade preço - Adorei o quarto em que ficamos. Moderno, excelentes pormenores, muito confortavel.
A localização e a vista pra praça principal, e no outro quarto com varanda.
O pequeno almoço simples mas bom.
O staff extremamente prestavel, com um sorriso sempre disponivel.
O nosso voo era de madrugada, e permitiram-nos deixar as malas e voltar para descansar um pouco e tomar banho, como se aquela fosse a nossa casa.
Foram excelentes em tudo. Pretendemos voltar ao Cairo e com toda a certeza voltaremos a reservar este alojamento. Sentimo-nos realmente em casa. Não há nada a apontar. Até a entrada, mais degradada, faz parte da surpresa.
- MAYUNA (10/5): スタップの方があたたかい!! - お部屋が空いていたので無料でグレードアップしてくださいました。立地もよく、押し売りの少ないエリアでとてもよかったです。また、ウェルカムドリンクでコーヒーもいただき、初めてのエジプト旅行で不安も多かったですが、温かい人がお出迎えしてくださり、とても楽しめました。
- Alomari (10/5): كانك في بيتك - الهدوء والتعامل الراقي اشكر الموظف أسامه جدا متعاون وصاحبه ايضاً لا يوجد
- Natalia (7/5): -
- Rowena (1/5): Stressed full stay! - Do not book this hostel these two guys are scammers and do not let them organize any tours Scammers Alert!
- Scheidel (8/5): -
- Tetsuya (10/5): 見つけることができれば快適 - メトロの駅も近く便利だった。 ホテルの場所がgoogle mapの表示から離れている。
Appleのマップはもっと離れている。実際には博物館の真横かもう少し北にある。看板も小さく見つけるのに苦労した。

- Mahmoud (1/5): - طاقم العمل
- Aleksander (6/5): - Lokalizacja Łazienki wymagaja remontu, stan rzeczy w pokoju nie odpowiada zdjeciom
- Hossam (8/5): -
- Natalia (4/5): - Solo la ubicación La habitación que nos dieron no era la misma de las fotos. No estaba limpia ni la habitación, ni las sábanas. Los muebles en mal estado.
- Marine (7/5): Bien pour le prix - La chambre était propre et fonctionnelle.
Lit confortable.
Les jeunes hommes qui travaillent là bas sont vraiment sympathiques.
Plutôt bien situé proche du centre ville (ce qui implique d'entendre les klaxons jours et nuits) J'ai dû attendre plus d'une heure pour avoir ma chambre. Ça peut arriver mais ce qui m'a dérangé c'est que le manager n'a pas été honnête et essayait de noyer le poisson en me disant de me détendre dans la salle commune.. au bout de 20min sans explications, j'ai compris que ma chambre n'était pas prête mais je n'ai pas eu d'excuses.
Le petit déjeuner n'était pas à la hauteur. Même pas une boisson..
- mousa (1/5): - لا انصح به لا انصح به
- Sylvia (9/5): My home away from home - - kind and helpful staff
- kettle and tea/coffee making facilities
- beautiful window/balcony view - enjoying my morning or afternoon coffee overlooking the Egyptian Museum and Cairo Tower - cleaning should be done regularly, not upon request
- Jolanda (8/5): -
- Sandra (8/5): - Los que lo regentaban eran muy atentos y dispuesto a ayudar. La cercanía y comodidad.
- Christele (8/5): - L hôtel est placé en plein centre ville du Caire.... ville très bruyante... ce qui se ressent forcément sur l hotel.
- Emilie (8/5): - Malgré un problème de chambre à notre arrivée, des solutions ont été trouvées pour nous permettre de passer un bon séjour et on nous a même préparé un petit déjeuner avant notre départ à l’aéroport à 6h30.
Merci à Mostafa pour sa gentillesse et son accompagnement !
- Farley (10/5): Goede schone kamer met heerlijk ontbijt. - Kamer was prima, goed kwaliteit prijs verhouding. Doorzetten want de ingang viel erg tegen, bij aankomst bijna omgekeerd. Hostel zit op 5e verdieping. Je moet doorzetten om aangenaam verrast te worden. Entree is vies en zeker als je in de avond aankomt erg onaantrekkelijk.
- Fadzrul (8/5): -
- 蓝翔 (1/5): - 零 差评,建议关闭,不要继续骗人
- alexandra (10/5): - Personal unglaublich nett!!
- Abdelaziz (1/5): - Ich hatte ein Zimmer gebucht, und das Geld wurde bereits abgebucht. Bei meiner Ankunft wurde mir jedoch überraschend mitgeteilt, dass alle Zimmer belegt seien und kein Zimmer für mich frei sei. So musste ich mitten in der Nacht noch eine andere Unterkunft in Kairo für meine Frau und mich suchen.
Das Personal konnte mir nicht helfen – sie sagten nur, dass der Verantwortliche vergessen habe, die Buchung auf Booking zu schließen.
Ich kämpfe immer noch darum, mein Geld zurückzubekommen.
Leider kann ich diese Unterkunft nicht empfehlen.
- Manuel (4/5): Mixed feelings - Location was very good and decent facilities. Staff was friendly and helpful enough The owner tried to charge me 90US dollars for the taxi from airport to hotel. We were a group of 10 and paid less than 40dollars in total. In other words he was trying to scam me. Nothing against the staff working there but those practices to overcharge tourist coming from the owner of the place, says a lot about it him.
- saidi (10/5): - Amazing staff and lovely place
You will always feel you are home here
Highly recommended
- Shi-Yan (8/5): - big room nice place and ppl breakfast cannot takeaway
- Sandra (10/5): - L'hospitalité des hôtes
Très gentils et serviables , aux petits soins!
La chambre était belle , le petit déjeuner très bon!
Je vous conseille cet hôtel les yeux fermés !
- Yosif (10/5): - Great service
Clean and neat room
Great and friendly staff
Tasty breakfast
- Allison (10/5): Wonderful stay, great spot in Cairo - Amazing location for exploring the downtown area. The rooms were comfortable and clean, the staff were friendly. Really cant fault it! This was our last hotel after a 3 week trip around Egypt, it was a great place to rest at the end of our trip. The only FYI i would give is the entrance isnt very obvious, we missed the sign that said 5th floor when we arrived - but a lovely person who lived in the building helped us!
- ning (1/5): - 跟博物馆一路之隔 楼估计有百年历史了,设施条件破旧,管理者态度恶劣,房间超售,在未经我允许的情况下把我们预定的两个房间改成了一个三人间,毫无歉意,竟然还觉得我们占了便宜!多次拖延不处理,最终才退给我们一部分,不建议,除了位置没有优点,附近有很多更好的住宿。
- Eva María Nevado Sánchez (9/5): Excelente atención y habitaciones muy cómodas - La atención del personal y su predisposición a ayudarnos con todo lo que necesitáramos. La atención fue inmejorable.
Destacable también su ubicación. Muy céntrico, te permite llegar a muchos lugares caminando. Si bien las habitaciones y el hotel tenían muy buenas condiciones, estaban bien equipados y actualizados, el edificio en el que se ubica no tanto.

Hôtel très bien placé, proche de tout. La chambre était propre et confortable. Le personnel est super sympa et toujours prêt à aider.
- اصيل (5/5): مافي اكثر من اني اقول رائحه الحمامات - الغرف نظيفه جدا الحمامات لها رائحه جدا كريهه،
- Huidong (10/5): - 地理位置很不錯,開門就可以看到酒店,性價比也較高,設備也比較新,早點可以吃飽 住了兩天沒發現

- Gustavo (10/5): Short stay in a very central area in a good place - Very friendly people with very comfty and clean room. Feris his manager, was so friendly and nice person who can help you with any request.
- Katarina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Manthura (10/5): Exceptional - The room was clean, and the staff were helpful. The location was great, right next to the Egyptian museum and close to the Nile. A gem

The room is clean and looks nice.
Good windows , no noise from the road.
- Patrycja (10/5): Great value for the price! - The hostel is really amazing. Great location, easy to find and nearby everything you need.
The room was excellent- super comfy bed, clean (top!!!) and most of all extremely friendly stuff- i have to mention Faris who took care of everything - including ordering and walking me to taxi! Breakfast was great too: easy and delicious!
Highly recommended!!!!
- Rushdi (10/5): Exceptional -
- Omar (9/5): Superb - We had a splendid stay at this hostel. Faris was one awesome host. He made sure we had the best of experience. The breakfast was minimal, but it was fine. It is located at the heart of the city. We took the newest triple room and it was well designed and equipped.
- Saidi (8/5): At the heart of the city - The location is wonderful
The staff are super helpful
The room is quite small, but enough
The room with the view to the museum makes you like the sunset even more
- Petre (10/5): Exceptional - The best hotel in the center. Completely renovated. Quality furniture and amenities. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Located right across the street from the Egyptology Museum with a view of the museum and Tahrir Square. Every time I go to Cairo I stay at this hotel. Highly recommend.
- Mirjam (9/5): Superb -
- Sarah (10/5): Exceeded expectations - Room was 5 star level , this quality of stay is hardly found in downtown. They upgraded my room for free as the one I booked would take time and I was in hurry also made my early check in possible..no extra charges.. Fares was so friendly and helpful Nothing , my stay was perfect
- Kharodia (8/5): Very good - Location is good
View of museam
Staff were amazing Ahmed and Mustafa
Great price for money Bathroom is small and there is no shower curtain to prevent the water from going everywhere
- Rihab (10/5): Wonderful staff at egyptian nights hostel - Loved the expetience
Go start with location is ideal :minutes walk to talaat harb street (the hub)
However what made our day is the staff(fares/moustafa snd mohamad are exceptional
Nothong to beat their smile hospitality and cooperation in all aspects
On other hand room was awesome and high hygiene stamdard looking ito egyptian museum
Hat down to you guys
Keep it up Nothing at all
Entrance of hotel building little outdated but they are working on it
So no worries
- Clarence (8/5): It’s the place to overnight, location,owner,staff.. - The location,the room, and staff Nothing
- Lea (9/5): Superb - Great location and the stuff is super friendly.
You can easily walk to the museum, around downtown and even to the Kan el Kalili Bazaar if you like.
- Ahmed (10/5): “The hotel was impeccably clean, with every corner well-maintained and spotless. The service was outstanding, and the -
- Adil (10/5): Exceptional - The rooms were good and clean and beautifully renovated.It exceeded my expectations.
The staff were very warm, friendly and very helpful.
It was real value for money.
The hostel has as elevator so made transporting bags easy.
You will find the entrance of the hotel on the side of the building.
The hostel is also very close to the Tahrir Bus stop incase you would be travelling to other cities, we walked across from the bus stop to the hotel. The roads are busy so be careful when crossing.
- Catia (10/5): Perfect!!! - the cleanliness of the room, the location, the very kind staff. we booked with them a tour with a private driver to visit Saqqara, Memphis and Darahur. everything went very well. -
- Ellen (7/5): Recommended 👍 - I had a good, nice, pleasant stay in this hostel.
The employees are incredibly friendly and helpful.
Some rooms need renovation, but they are working on that!!
Breakfast was good, but came slowly.
Guys, keep it up. Keep raising the standard - make it more beautiful and efficient, you are already on the right track.
Don't change the friendliness, it was excellent! The fact that I could not use the kitchen and had no WiFi in my room was annoying, but not terrible.
(The WiFi was excellent at the reception on the floor above and there are many nice restaurants within walking distance of the accommodation)
In short, there are areas for improvement, but I would stay there again without a doubt!!
- William (7/5): Very good value for the money. Location is hidden but close the museum which is a good. - The room itself was clean and well maintained. The building itself wasn't the MOST luxurious or well maintained as the rooms. Also, the entrance it's quite hard to find since is hidden in an alley. No signs in the actual front of the building which would definitely help finding it.
- Andral (3/5): Intrusive and insistant staff, I canceled my last night because it was too annoying - Good location Staff annoying you
Really intrusive
- Rémi (10/5): Exceptional - I’m a bit demanding on my reservation abroad, I like to have my comfort, and I wasn’t disappointed here
The room are clean, confortable, and the staff is really kind, always ready to help you
Perfect location for me, and there is a little shop 20m from here Don’t be afraid about the hall, it is not representative of the quality of the accommodation
- Gilbert (7/5): Good -
- Adel (9/5): Superb -
- Sapna (5/5): Passable - The location - absolutely close to the museum. Only booked to drop the luggage for couple of hours. Didn't spend the night Shabby and unorganised
- Ez (1/5): Not a good place - In my stay i didn’t had the chance to see good things They rented our room to someone else and they give us another room wish we didn’t like because there was no wifi and no air conditioning. I didn’t like the service at all i had to leave at 9pm. So disappointed
- Cindy (5/5): More or less - The price was ok.
The staff was so so so nice. Thank you all The location is terrible.
The access is terrible too.
You don’t feel really safe when you arrive to that area.
- Skinner (3/5): Not as expected - The location is good, right next to The Egyptian Museum and Downtown Cairo. The staff really kindly allowed us to store our luggage prior to check in and after we checked out, which was supremely helpful Where to start. Most of this has been written already (regrettably I failed to read the reviews prior to booking) so I won't labour it. The entrance/communal stairwell and lift is just awful (and I've stayed in some dives before!!) and there's no clear signage for the place so really hard to actually locate the hostel. Once inside the place looks like a VERY run down version of their promotional pictures so don't be fooled by these. The bedsheets have multiple cigarette burns in them. The shower was very grubby and the large glass door was hanging off its 3 x hinges, it fell on me as I was getting out (a deathtrap that they promised to sort whilst we were there but didn't). The bathroom smelt of sewage. Lots of things were broken (drawers, exercise bikes) and plug sockets not working. Others persistently smoked in the communal areas, which came through into the room under the large gap at the bottom of the door (not ideal with 2 x kids in tow). Check out time is 12pm, check-in time is 12pm so no wonder, like others, our room wasn't ready when we arrived (we arrived at 12.34pm and were told we'd have to wait at least another 30 minutes). If I'd seen accurate photos of the place prior to booking there's no way I would have booked.
- Farqad (1/5): Not a suitable place to stay - It was a normal breakfast The bathroom is not clean, and the water when showering does not go easily into the sewers. The curtains are dirty, the sheets have dirt on them and were not washed well, the window leaks air from outside, and the noise from the street is unbearable. One of the employees’ behavior is not good, in an unethical manner, and in general, it is a dirty place.
- Zaidi (7/5): Good - It was good, food is also good. There are lots of mosquitos at the property.
- Agnieszka (10/5): Exceptional - Good location just in front of the Egyptian Museum, friendly staff.
- Dmitry (1/5): :( - Nice location in the center 1. I was booked five delux singl rooms with one big bad. During check-in manager said that they have only four twin rooms. After 30 minutes he found for me one more very small dirty room.
2. Breakfast was poor and was delayed 30 minutes.it was important for me due our day schedule
- Muhammad (1/5): Bad hotel not sleeping good - Nothing Every thing not clean washroom shower not working bedsheets not clean flush no working elevator use like to die
- Safeer (7/5): Good -
- Nikolajflak (10/5): Worth every cent - Amazing place.
Just book it, you won't regret it.
From the always smiling staff, to the wonderfully fresh breakfast, you will enjoy your time here.
Showers work perfectly, wifi always on. Nothing to mention.
- Sara (9/5): Superb -
- Muhammad (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sara (9/5): Great location near a lot of historical places in Cairo and also the view as you can see the old Egyptian museum from so - Location The building entrance
- Ákos (7/5): Good - Comfortable, well equipped, city center
- Hui (10/5): Lovely receptionist and good breakfast - The receptionist is super helpful, They allowed me to store the luggage for rest of the afternoon after I check out and and before check in also, breakfast is nice and free!
- Niraja (6/5): Pleasant -
- Andrew (3/5): TRIED TO GIVE THEM THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT BUT... HORRIBLE! - The staff was friendly. When I arrived, they didn't have a room for me (after booking/paying far in advance) so had to take all my luggage and spend the first night in a horrible hotel four or five blocks away. The next day, they put me in a nice room (the one that was pictured when I paid for the week) but the very next day I was told I had a to switch rooms, and they put me in a VERY SMALL dirty room although I paid for a deluxe. The rest of the negative things you read about the lobby etc. are all true and documented so no need to repeat. Stay away!
- Ikue (10/5): Exceptional -
- Eleftherios (5/5): Passable - Perfect location in the center, good hot water, have TV and fridge, good A/C cold and warm. The staff is helpful and friendly The building is old, the furniture also. There is noise outside all the time and it’s disturb at night. WiFi is available only on the 5th floor, but there also some rooms on the 4th floor. Smell in the bathroom.
- Crowne (8/5): Very good - Great value in the centre of cario very clean 2nd stay very happy with this accommodation
- Muhammad (2/5): Please remove from Booking.com application as it will ruine your reputation as well .Pictures seems to be good while che - Nothing , it’s very very bad experience .
Worst experience of my life !! We already booked and paid but room was not available , we waited 1- hour for room and when entered room it was pathetic !!!
Please no one to go there ..
I booked for 2- sites , stayed one night because no other option was available and not stayed 2nd night .
- Eva (10/5): Exceptional -
- Olga (1/5): Bad - The view from teras is beautifull We had to leave this hotel after first night even we pay for 2 nights. The bed was not clean. Shower demage. We dont risk to try the breackfast, becouse the smell in front of our room, what was a place for breackfast, was strange.
- Shannon (4/5): Disappointing - Location Very loud at night
- Sarai (9/5): Superb - Location and staff was the best Very old building and facilities .. but all Cairo is!!
