    8 people living in a small room, the bed is not so comfortable! I think for Egypt standard, this price can rent a single room just several metro stations away!

    Excellent location, just the city center

    The hostle is directly on an main street. So being in Cairo that means it's very loud until late. Cars are honking like crazy.

    The staff is very friendly and helpful 👍 It's clean. There is a comfortable room to hangout and breakfast and meet other people. Its in the middle of the city. That's good.

    the guy who worked November 20th afternoon shift has a huge problem to dealing with the customer. he asked for change the bed to another room. it's ok if he would've explained WHY but he didn't tell me even if I asked the reason twice I thought it was a kind of racism and still confused about his behavior. second he woke me up when I was taking a nap and he never said sorry and just asked for the room change. if the owner or manager of the hostel check this review you have to do something with him! I like your hostel but because of him every moment in the hostel was horrible

    location quality sanitizing breaskfast all good.

    The shower in our room was broken. They tried to fix it but could not do it during our stay. The entrance of the building is in very bad condition, although the hostel area is ok. The breakfast could be a bit better.

    Nice staff, good room size, comfortable beds, really good location. We could leave the bags after check out and could come back and have a shower before leaving to the airport.

    Payment was a bit confusing. All hostels during my 3-weeks travel in Egypt charged me in USD and only this hostel accepted payment only in local currency. Not a problem at all, but instead of 7 USD (my price on booking app) I was charged 446 EGP, which is not equivelent (apparently I was charged 2.2 USD more per 1 night). I don't know the reason, maybe there was some tax not mentioned on booking.com (?), but for sure it wasn't clear and change of currecy was cunfusing: I realized that I paid more in EGP too late to ask

    Clean room with courtains and lockers, several bathrooms on the floor, common space - everything needed in this kind of backpacker hostel, no reason to complain. Additionally nice location in downtown Cairo and amazing view from balcony in a female dorm.

    Good for the price and location
    • Leisure trip

    • Twin Room with Private Bathroom
    • Stayed 5 nights

    The rooms with private bathrooms (which we have) are bathroom cubicles that do not reach the roof. This means the bathroom is in no way separate to the bedroom. Any odors from your toilet visits will be shared with your room-mate. The pillows were very hard (this is a personal preference). The breakfast is extremely basic though it is a nice addition. The cleanliness was just ok but the place definitely seems "used"

    Its a very basic hostel but relatively clean and for the price can't really be argued with. Location is perfect for visiting Cairo, staff are very friendly and we never heard noise from other guests which can sometimes be an issue with hostels.

    Its bathroom is simply separated from the room by a plastic partition, so it does not have any sound insulation or smell isolation function. It was funny.

    Air conditioning is really cool enough.

    It looked like a ruined apartment. The outside of the hostel was covered in dust and looked quite scary. If the hostel was not in this building, people would not dare to step in. The public shower room looks usable, but it's definitely not comfortable. The overall cleanliness cannot be called clean and comfortable. Maybe the equipment is too old. The wifi in the room is not stable.

    Bunk beds with curtains and bedside lamps. Air conditioning is good. There is an elevator, which is very convenient. There is an airport shuttle service, which costs USD 15 per trip.

    Had an argument with the owner who tried to lecture me on "why is it justifiable for Egyptian government to enforce a law that foreigners can't pay in EGP", not very pleasant experience overall.

    The breakfast was fine and there were many travelers to talk with.

    The men would walk into the womans room with little notice. The staff was rude. The nicest people were the cleaning ladies. Worse pyramid tour ever!!!. She just kept trying to get us to buy things. She was rude, and she skipped parts we paid for. Everyone on the tour hated her. She also tried to get us to take pictures and when we refused she got angry. She doesn't understand backpackers at all. Towards the end, we tried to ditch her completely, so the four of us could enjoy ourselves.

    The dorms were great.

    The room turned out to be very basic - unlike the pictures. The building in which this is located seems to be in shambles. For the price we paid (which was hotel like), the whole experience was just a basic hostel - even the private bathroom seemed like a makeshift one.

    The accessibility of this hostel is probably the best selling point.

    Well it is not hell dirty but might be cleaner, there are only one area to socialize with people which is not perfect to chill.

    Holy Sheet is located in heart of Cairo, location is amazing. Staff is kind and nice.
