Don't be thrown off by the title of this review because this hostel is honestly not that bad. Not bad at all. BUT. Whatever you do, don't book day trips to the Pyramids at Giza with them because they will rip you off! The people working at the hostel told me that 400 pounds was a fair price for getting... More

If you're not one of the cleanliness freaks and on a solo backpacking trip.. then maybe this place is a good stay. Only the location (a minute from Tahrir square) is a A++. Once you get into your room, the staff does not really exist. The single room I stayed in was huge and included a bathroom, which wasn't clean... More

Let me be clear with my title: don't get your hopes up that hotels and hostels are nice or clean when you're going to Cairo unless you're spending less than 150 dollars per night. I traveled with 9 friends and we made reservations for another hotel in which we stayed only one night. Then, we went to Canadian. This hostel... More

The evening staff is very kind and helpful. The day time staff is a different story. The skinny balding guy who smokes is not considerate and he will book your tours without confirming with you first. ....Don't let the soft voice fool you. He can be a real piece of work. There were ROACHES in the bathrooms and in the... More

Hey! I was in Egypt for about 6 months and this was by far one of the best locations I stayed at! It was very clean! The staff was sooo friendly and helpful, the atmosphere was great, I was traveling alone and they even upgraded my room for the same price as the dorm because there was no one in... More

If you are looking for a budget place to stay in the middle of downtown Cairo this is a good pick! Although the bathrooms are rather dirty (ie: cockroaches, the floor around the toilet was always wet, and the shower required you to be very small and wear sandals) the rooms were comfortable. And the guys running the show were... More
