• shilpi (8/5): - Everything is good No wifi 😔

• Sultan (10/5): -
• JIA (10/5): -
• ANISH (9/5): - If I had to pick one of my favorite hostels, this would be it. The two people at the reception—one is Hashim and the other is Mohammed cheetos—both speak very politely. The hostel is located near Al Nasr Metro Station. The breakfast in the morning was decent, and even during the fasting period, they arranged breakfast for us. The room was also quite good, with a single bed.🤩 The mosquito issue was quite high, but that’s generally common in Egypt so it’s not something to highlight. There was also a lot of noise from outside—vehicles and people—so soundproofing was poor and sleep was a bit difficult, but everything else was okay.👌
• Abdikarim (1/5): Usch - Noll Inte bra
• Abdikarim (1/5): Usch - Det var rent bara Dålig säng och tork personal och jag glömde grejer och de vägrar ge mig ”de slängde” men det tror jag inte de som har tagit själva
• Sultan (7/5): - كل شي جميل الا كم حاجة بسيطة كدا تغيير السرير لانو كلو حديد تحسو في ظهرك وانت نايم

• Zeyad (10/5): - My stay at this hostel was beyond amazing! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel incredibly welcome. They were friendly, professional, and always happy to help with anything — whether it was recommendations for local spots, arranging transportation, or simply having a nice conversation. The location is unbeatable. Being in the heart of Downtown Cairo made everything so easy. Tahrir Square, the Egyptian Museum, restaurants, cafes, shops, and public transportation are all within walking distance. It’s the perfect base for exploring the city. The room was spotless, comfortable, and well-organized. The bed was very cozy, and I had a great night’s sleep every day. The bathrooms were always clean, and the common areas had a relaxed and friendly vibe — perfect for meeting other travelers from different countries. The Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, which was very important for me. The overall atmosphere felt safe, welcoming, and very well-managed. Honestly, this hostel exceeded my expectations in every way. The value for money is outstanding, and I wouldn’t even consider staying anywhere else next time I visit Cairo. Highly recommended — 10/10 experience!
• Zeyad (10/5): - If you’re looking for more than just a place to sleep, this hostel is the perfect choice. Staying here felt like being part of a small, welcoming community right in the heart of Cairo. The location couldn’t be better — step outside and you’re instantly surrounded by the energy of Downtown. Everything is within walking distance, yet once you’re inside, it feels calm and comfortable. What truly makes this place special is the atmosphere. It’s warm, social, and safe. I met amazing travelers from different countries, and the common area is perfect for relaxing after a long day exploring the city. The room was very clean and thoughtfully arranged. The bed was comfortable, the air conditioning worked perfectly, and everything was well maintained. You can tell the management really cares about guests’ comfort. The staff deserve special praise — always smiling, helpful, and genuinely kind. They go above and beyond to make sure you enjoy your stay. For the price, the value is exceptional. I would 100% stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Cairo.

• trinidad (8/5): Buen lugar en el centro del Cairo! - La propiedad está muy bien, se nota que han trabajado mucho para mejorarla. El edificio es viejo y algunos sectores están venidos a bajo, pero cuando entras en los sectores del hotel es como en las fotos. Nuestro cuarto estaba limpio, con ropa de cama y toallas, espacioso y con baño privado, ducha con agua caliente. El personal del hotel amables y dispuestos. El wifi funciona perfecto. La ubicación es muy céntrica hay muchos lugares para comer. Recomiendo este lugar, buena relación precio calidad. El baño era nuevo y estaba limpio pero salía mal olor de las cañerías, otros baños del hotel estaba bien, el personal del hotel intentó ayudarnos pero no había nada que hacer. El colchón no era el más cómodo

• Gabyfranco92 (9/5): Buen hostal - La atención es muy agradable, el desayuno que sirven es delicioso No me quedé en la habitación que se ve en las fotos, me fue un poco complicado llegar no hay señalamientos afuera y no servía el aire acondicionado del cuarto
• Pir Zeshan (3/5): -
• Maged (1/5): A confirmed booking that was not honored, resulting in financial loss and a very unpleasant experience. - Nothing, as I was not allowed to check in despite having a confirmed and paid reservation. I was denied check-in despite having a confirmed and fully paid booking. The staff treated me rudely and refused to accommodate me without any valid reason. No refund was provided, which forced me to urgently book another place at a much higher price and pay additional transportation costs.

• Muhammad (10/5): - The hotel is very comfortable, the rooms are clean and tidy. The location is strategic and easily accessible. Very satisfied and will come again. The room looks nice, the furniture is still new. the bathroom is clean and everything looks new. The bed spring is weak, when I sleep my body sinks down. It is worth changing the mattress to a new one.
• Emmanuel Alejandro (2/5): - El desayuno me pareció bueno Las habitaciones estaban frías y el aire acondicionado no servía, pedí si me podían llevar unas sábanas o algo para mitigar el frío y no fueron... La habitación era extremadamente ruidosa
