Liked: We really enjoyed the location of the hostel, in a cute area with coffe shop and within a distance walk of a lot of touristical places.

Disliked: I have to say that the clealiness was not that good. We took a tour with the driver from the hotel and it was a really great experience, but if you are c heking your money watch out, you have to take the price they offer you at the hostel and do times four, because you will pay for all the ticket, the driver will bring you at the shop of all his firnd and you will end up tiping the whole Cairo.

Liked: Conveniently located in downtown area of Cairo with easy access to metro, and short walk to Nile and Egyptian Museum. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, always willing to chat and offering drinks (which were most welcome during the heat wave that coincided with our visit) or making suggestions for the best places to eat nearby. The driver they arranged for us to visit Giza, Saqqara, and Memphis was outstanding.

Disliked: Jennifer left no negative feedback.

Liked: Everything was great! Location of the hostel is perfect: nothing will interrupt ur sweet dreams even though u stay in the very center of Cairo, when the narrow street leaves the noise out of ur ears:) Everything is clean and cozy, the beds are comfortable and clean, available Wi-Fi and also hostel's PC is in ur disposal 24/7. And the most great is the staff who became our friends!!! :)) So, Thimu, thanx again for the wonderful days within Bedoun's walls!:)) Mariana and Margarita

Liked: The bathroom water pipe broke at 3am and showered the entire room (there’s just a wall between bathroom and our bed). All our clothes and luggage got wet. They cleaned the room by afternoon but the room still smells. Someone once comment that they booked their excursions through Bedouin and got ripped off. Same thing here! Once when we got into the private ride we were pressured to pay for whatever they asked for and forced to buy at their designated stores. We were driven to be cheated and the whole camel ride experience was terrible and totally ruined the day.

Liked: I did stay at the Bedouin Hostel the first night I stayed but after going on a tour the second night I stayed was at the sister hostel across the hall which wasn't as nice!Semar was great an offered me tea when I arrived. He also arranged a driver for me (even though it was 3am!) for a morning tour Saquarra. Didn't meet any other travellers but I was only there for a morning and a night so... Would I stay again, yes! As long as Seamar was working!!!

03 December 2008 Lindsey would recommend this property

Liked: Both Kareem and Seymour are wonderful people. They have a wealth of information for traveling around Cairo and Giza. The hostel was perfectly situated in downtown, a 5 minute walk to the Egyptian Museum. Many young people congregate at the cafes on the street at night and offer a perfect view of normal Cairo nightlife. The area was very safe, and excellent food was available right on the corner. We will definately be back :)

Liked: the rooms are very good, clean, nice with confortable beds and good air condition. The location is great, it is in the centre of Cairo but we don t hear the trafic, which is crazy in this city. there is everything you need in the street near the hotel, restaurant and coffee shops...The staff is nice and helpful, they are welcoming, ready to share their dinner. They organize my trip around Egypt for good price. I definitely recommend this place for people who like family atmosphere.
