Guest Reviews

- Soojin (10/5): - 위치가 완전 좋어요! 바로 옆에 kfc있고 완전 도로변이고! 숙소 상태도 완전 깨끗해용 다합에서 카이로 올때도 묵으려고 또 예약했어용
- Paul (8/5): Will stay there again - Good staff Showers and toilet
- SUNHEE (10/5): - 자주 오는 숙소중 하나라서 직원분들이 알아봐주시고 항상 친절하게 맞아줘요 위치도 중심가라 식당이나 카페도 가기 좋아요 급하게 프린트할게 있었는데 부탁드리니까 잘 도와주셨어요 감사해요 숙소도 깨끗하고 방도 넓고 좋아요

- Sebastian (10/5): Great experience - Everything was great. Friendly staff and great location!
- David (10/5): If I come to Cairo I’ll stay here again. - The Australian Hostel is located in such a good place. It's a very nice place to stay at not only for backpackers and the breakfast is also very nice. The staff keeps the place very tidy. I've stayed at lots of hostels all around the world but the approach to all customers was extremely unprecedented from all of them but especially from Seif the guy working at the front desk. He apparently does his best to keep a good reputation of the place also always willing to help with everything even beyond his job duties. This everything made me feel so good and I left Egypt after all the time backpacking so relaxed. Management of the hostel should keep an eye on lockers in the dorm room most of them are broken and you can’t lock your stuff which makes your stay less comfortable.
- Barbara (9/5): - Emplacement et personnel très appréciable ! Je recommande.
- Оксана (5/5): Не понравилось, но у каждого свой вкус . возможно, для Каира это нормальный вариант - Расположение и цена, так же очень хороший персонал на ресепшен В душ навоз можно сходить, Лейка душа поломанная, вся течет. Вода в душе не сходит и итогу стоишь по щиколотку в воде , на постельном были чьи -то волосы. Постельное в дырках, подушки деревянные

- SUNHEE (10/5): - 새벽에 도착했는데 리셉션의 hazim이 반갑게 맞아주었음 일정 연장되서 며칠 더 머물렀는데 요청사항도 잘 들어주고 친절함 방도 깨끗하고 위치도 타운 중심가라 이동하기도 좋고 식당 가기에도 좋음
- lord of the mangos (10/5): - Clean, good socialising space, hot showers, staff super helpful and speak perfect English. Near local shops and restaurants and easy to acess by metro. Beds have privacy curtains and a balcony in the room. Been here 7 days and counting. Much cheaper than the other upmarket hostels. Pretty happy. Nothing really...
- Choukri (9/5): Je recommande - Bon accueille . Très sympa . Propre Petit déj sympa je recommande

- Mostafa Yehia (10/5): -
- Anastasia (8/5): - Great location, comfortable beds, good breakfast. Friendly staff. The staff “camps” outside the kitchen area scrolling the social media reels on full volume, it’s right outside your door so it becomes disruptive of guest’s sleep. Specially in the morning when things are quiet. PLEASE invest in cheap headphones for them to use!
- Chia ming (8/5): - 住了五天 但是房間的位置在街邊隔音不好 下午到晚上都很吵 喇叭聲叭不停 早餐很簡單 每天一樣 最後一天居然連豆子泥都沒有 只能說這個早餐像個幌子別太期待😂

- Igor (10/5): - Hostel was clean and comfortable and staff very helpful. Location is optimal. Good breakfast is included. I made a mistake while making a reservation, which was completely my fault and they didnt make me problems about it in the slightest. I hope my other acommodations in Egypt have the same price-quality ratio

- SUNHEE (10/5): - 거의 1년만의 재방문이었는데 기억해주시고 엄청 반갑게 맞아주심 직원들 모두 친절하고 위치도 타운 중심가라 주변에 식당도 많고 편함
- Julen (9/5): Confortable - La ubicación es inmejorable, la habitación estaba realmente limpia y era bastante grande. El personal muy amable. La ducha era algo pequeña.
- Marij46 (8/5): - L'accueil, le rapport qualité-prix Rien
- Igor (8/5): Pretty good overall - Good location, spacious room, OK common bathroom Bathroom could be better with a shower curtain and some shelves
- Abdelhamid (8/5): - Top 👍
- Stella Markusev (6/5): Speravo un po meglio - Posizione, letto comodi, stanza grande Colazione con poca scelta e servita su divani con tavolini particolarmente bassi, non comodo. La pulizia in generale può migliorare. Speravo un po meglio visto le recensioni. Consiglio per una notte, non di più
- Mostafa (10/5): -
- Henry (7/5): -
- Fabienne (6/5): Accueil top ! Mais décoration sans charme et pas super clean - Les chats de l’immeuble et l’accueil du personnel ! Décoration assez impersonnelle et hygiène défaillante.

- Leclerc (7/5): Bien - Bonne emplacement Bon prix Chambre confortable Propreté de la place sociale
- Seth (8/5): Hazeem is an asset - Honestly to me, Hazeem made the place. Huge part of the reason I continued coming back. It was really clear to me that he genuinely cared about people and wanted to take care of them. How do I know? He did that for me. (And I could see him do so for others as well) Na
- Irene (6/5): Cheap hostel - It’s cheap and well located It was not very clean. It was full of mosquitoes, and the walls of the bed well full of mosquitoes murders - all stained with blood.
- Tomomi (10/5): - スタッフみんな明るくて優しくて、気軽に快適に過ごせる場所です。 場所も中心部なので、どこへ行くにも便利です。
- Blake (10/5): Great value for money, great location - Im a New Zealander, I've stayed here on short notice and checked in at 2am, I wholeheartedly recommend this place, spacious and clean rooms, all the staff are friendly and welcoming. Free breakfast in the morning. Getting a taxi from the airport to the hotel was straightforward.
- sophia (9/5): - Accueil hôtel, linge de lit, de bain , impeccable. Chambre, salle de bain privée extra propre. Sécurité avec mes enfants. Je recommande. Prix vraiment abordable

- Miguel (8/5): Excelente hostel, muy buena ubicación y staff muy amable. - El hostel está muy bien ubicado en pleno centro de El Cairo, mucho comercio cerca abierto 24hs y fácil de conectar con cualquier tipo de transporte. Los recepcionistas son súper amables y te ayudan con lo que necesites No hay una vibra muy social entre los huéspedes pero quizás fue solo en el tiempo que estuve yo.
- Maciej (9/5): - Pozytywnie jestem zaskoczony, otrzymaliśmy odnowiony pokój, jeżeli przyjadę następnym razem do Kairu to na pewno ponownie skorzystam z tego hotelu. Polecam
- Ken (10/5): Amazing - Amazing Nothing

- T (10/5): - スタッフがフレンドリーで親切、とくにKeroさんにはお世話になりました。居心地がよくて快適に過ごせました。 紹介していただいた1泊の砂漠ツアーに参加しましたが、楽しかったです。その間、荷物を預かっていただきました。また、ツアーは早朝出発でしたが、朝食もそれに合わせて準備していただけて良かったです。 またカイロに来たときは泊まりたいと思います！
- Lucio (10/5): - Buona struttura in Centro al Cairo. Si possono raggiungere a piedi molti luoghi di interesse e la metropolitana (per raggiungere quelli più lontani). Personale cordiale e disponibile, ti aiuta ad organizzare la tua visita al Cairo.
- Uwe (8/5): Sehr schöner Aufenthalt - Das Hostel hat eine gute Lage. Man ist mitten in Downtown. U-Bahn Stationen sind nicht weit weg. Wenn man sich nicht gern durch Menschenmassen drängt, sollte man die Station Attaba meiden. In der Umgebung gibt es viele Gaststätten. Das angebotene Frühstück ist sehr gut. Das WLAN war zwar gut, aber die Daten kamen doch zum Teil sehr zögernd auf den Bildschirm.
- Mostafa Yehia (10/5): - everything nothing
- YUNZHI (10/5): - 位置很好，且很安静干净，尤其是在嘈杂的闹市区，巷子里难得的安静去处，还提供洗漱用品

- ZHOU DONGYU, (8/5): - 住宿位置很方便，而且周围有很多吃的
- Emilio (10/5): - La ubicacion absolutamente Buena. Limpio, cuando entramos a la habitacion olia a lejia, a qué la habian limpiado a conciencia, y se agradece. Mahmoud en la reception muy simpatico, en realidad todos. Lo recomiendo 100%. Tiene Libros para consultar tambien. ❤️

- Ayad (10/5): Jag trivs väldigt bra på det här hotellet, i hög grad, och jag är inte nöjd med dess läge. - Platsen är mycket bekväm och ren. Servicen är mycket bra, och så fort man ber dem städa rummet kommer de och städar direkt. Toaletten och badrummet är mycket rena och snygga. Ingen
- Aesthetic (8/5): Très satisfaisant. - Honnête, contrairement aux autres hôtels du Caire qui s’écrivent de faux commentaires. Les lits sont propres et confortables, il y a une télévision et un réfrigérateur. Les chambres sont spacieuses. Le bruit dehors (beaucoup beaucoup de Klaxons de voitures, impossible de dormir sans bouchons d’oreille), ainsi que le manque de propreté dans la salle de bain. L’entrée de l’immeuble dans lequel se trouve l’hôtel est très délabrée et sale. Il manquerait un micro-ondes pour réchauffer de la nourriture.

- Sandra (8/5): -
- Niilo (10/5): - Liikenteen äänet eivät häirinneet mikä Egyptissä on harvinaista. Mukavat sängyt. Avuliaat hyvää englantia puhuvat työntekijät.
- Julio César García Ríos (8/5): Centrico - Ubicacion centrica, a lado hay un buen cafe. Desayuno muy bueno! Algo cerca de la estacion de buses. Apesar de baño compartido siempre tuvo limpieza
- hailan (10/5): nice - 房间干净好闻，员工有求必应
- Tsz Hin (10/5): Very clean and good location - Got upgraded to a triple room with two other guests, very clean property. Very good location in the centre of the city. Very small common area.
- İbrahim Canan (10/5): Mükemmel. - Harika konum.
