Is zeker een aanrader ben hier nu voor de 2e keer. Een leuk hostel gezellig personeel die af en toe een grapje met je maken. Is helemaal niet duur, hygiëne is goed. And the man hazim achter balie maakt vooral grappen.

I truly loved this hostel!!! The staff was amazing. I arrived late from the airport. And they still were able to get me a ride at 1 am. I then slept in past the check out time on accident and they were very kind and still made me breakfast I was amazed! And met an amazing traveler . Was a great place to connect and meet new people. The staff seif was funny and kind . If you see him tell him he needs to travel too(; Place was well upkept . Fun hang out area. I would definitely book again(:

So accommodating and flexible. We overslept for the Pyramid/GEM Museum tour we booked with them but they bent over backwards so we could still go and have breakfast. Tour great price & tourguide Dina is amazing. We're booking again in 5 days on our way back home also.

Me hospedé con mis padres, el lugar es accesible para llegar en taxi, solo tener en cuenta que es al costado del Strella Coffee. La habitación cumplía con lo descrito y publicado, era espaciosa y limpia. El personal amable y muy atento hasta el final, es una amabilidad muy educada que en todo momento nos hacía sentir a gusto, sobre todo con personas mayores que no dominan el idioma. El desayuno es ideal, lo que se agradece ya que usualmente los hostels no lo dan. Volveríamos a quedarnos.

Lovely staff, awesome breakfast and perfect location. Just the WiFi isn’t sufficient but that’s not too important.

Very clean. Staff was very nice. Couldn’t initially find the place. Location is center of city. The sheets were clean but they were so itchy due to being old and not soft. The sheets were white and clean but the cotton was breaking down making the sheets hard and itchy against the skin.

Pretty terrible overall! We had to wait over 40 minutes for their driver late at night and then the staff was arguing and on their phones all throughout check in which also took over 30 minutes of us awkwardly standing there. The room had dirt/hair in the beds. We told the staff we had to check out early, to which they said no problem & that we could just drop off the key. This wasn’t true, & we had to wait there for 15 minutes for that to have him charge us more than we owed. Pick a diff plac...

The hostel is in Downtown Cairo. I had a private room, which was quite big with balcony. The stuff was very friendly, they helped me booking a bus ticket to Alexandria as it did not work on the GoBus Website. Overall I had a good experience and enjoyed my stay.
