Liked: It's a really cool place with a young crowd and awesome people that are working the desk! I enjoyed that the room I stayed in was one another floor than the lobby of the hostel so I could just come and go as if I was living in an apartment in downtown Cairo :) I think that it was well kept up for an egypt and I think you will like it there if you go!

Disliked: There is a lot of cigarette smoking in the lobby of the hostel, the breakfast is not that great

Liked: Nice place to stay in Downtown! Helpful staff with good knowledge of English, they helped a lot to organize other trips. Free internet was a great plus! Spacious and clean rooms and even when there was a problem with the water supply they called a plumber and after a few hours it was solved. Average breakfast, but who cares?

30 January 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: the rooms were clean, though our bedspread was pretty gross and i didn't even want to sit on it. (maybe they should get duvet covers for them so that they could wash those every once in a while and make them appear to be clean.) the bathrooms needed to be cleaned more often than they were and we had to always ask for more toilet paper. the breakfast was standard. the staff was really helpful and very friendly. overall, a fine place to stay for a couple of nights.

Liked: The staff was AMAZING. They were so nice and sooo helpful. I would highly recommend this hostel to everyone. It is in the heart of downtown Cairo, a great area to sight see (close to the nile river, the egyptian museum and many other attractions). it is a very lively neighborhood, never a dull moment so the location is great. the private tours they offer are wonderful and you cannot find a better price anywhere. the hostel was very clean and the rooms were spacious! if your going to cairo, stay in this hostel!!!!!
