Kairo Hostel

The hotel employs friendly staff who are more than happy to deal with requests. The room, although a little damaged by damp on one wall, was extremely clean, as were all bed sheets. The hotel is very central, ideal for walking to a number of interesting sites. The view from the roof terrace is fantastic. Breakfast is very limited, but Gad and McDonalds are very close by. The breakfast could include milk to go in tea or coffee.

Leaving the place. Considering the state of accommodation in cairo this maybe a good hotel but by european standards is maybe a one star Mosquitoes, Lift is dangerous i.e shoots up if someone calls the lift when your getting out, hotel is on 6th floor and is really a pension not a hotel, ground floor is filthy with cats running in and out and what appear to be a ruin of a building beside it !!!! shower and bathroom is in one room so if you have a shower expect not to be able to use the toilet

It wasn't clean and they didn't allow any one to visit me in my room. Is it a prison!!!

Hostel was located in the center of Cairo, near to shops, restaurants, metro. Good place to meet spirit of the city. Very small bathroom

Friendly staff, clean rooms, good location.

The staff is very nice and the rooms, when they are done as they forgot to clean my room once, are very clean. However, at first they gave me a room which was very very small. 3 sides of the bed were actually touching 3 walls of the room! The room definitely had absolutely nothing to see with what was described on booking.com website. It took me a good half an hour of talking with the staff and the manager to get an other room which this time was a decent one! Then, two days in a raw, the hotel experienced electricity break down which lead to water break down since the water was coming up with electricity pomp. The first day I was lucky to have a shower before the electricity breakdown but the second day I could not have a shower which was very very frustrating. I asked the staff if they could check with the neighbours or an other hotel nearby whether I could take a shower, they just laugh at me saying they would be ashamed to ask such a request... I then asked if they could provide me a bottle of water so that I could brush my teeth and wash my face... they wanted me to pay for it! The hotel is clean and the staff is very nice but honestly, I can hardly recommend to stay in this hotel!

Very basic but good for budget travelers. Excellent location, friendly and helpful staff, clean rooms. It is on the fourth flour (corresponding to sixth by the number of stairs) and there is no lift, so carrying the luggage up and down is really hard

it is very cheap Bathrooms are very bad

The manager, Mohammed, was a nice guy, who sat down with us on the night we came to plan and arrange our trip through Egypt. He did not push things and I think the price we paid for the trip was reasonable, although several times the itinerary he gave us was not completely accurate. There was a normal Egyptian breakfast with bread, jam, cheese, bananas, eggs and tea or coffee. The toilets were working properly and the showers had warm water. We booked for two nights, at the first sight of the room, we liked to turn around and find another hotel, but in the end we ended up staying 4 nights. The night we arrived we were put in a twin room (instead of a double room), which had childish bedsheets (one sheet per bed to sleep on, so only a blanket to sleep under). The room had been painted recently, but very unprofessionally and the bathroom did not look like it was was created by professionals either, but I guess this is the case in many Egyptian hotels/houses. However, the next day we got a better room, with enough bedsheets and the day after that we finally got a room with a real double bed, which looked a lot better than the first room too. Except from Mohammed himself, the staff was quite uninterested, sometimes a bit lazy.
