    Elevator is very very old. You will need to walk down the stair to call it up to bring our luggages down. It might not be a problem much since it's on the second floor. There's no hostel sign because It's under construction on the first floor while we stayed which is quite messy and shocking at first sight.

    The staffs are very friendly and helpful. Location is near museum and lots of restuarant around. Share bathroom is clean most of the time. Right next to KFC. Hostel is very quite even is fully occupied.

    The windows could use some double glazing. Wasn't a huge problem for me, but I imagine some people would not like the road noise.

    Great location. Very friendly staff.

    The facilities are somewhat dated, and the WC/bathroom could be cleaner. That said, everything is quite functional and serves its purpose. Be aware that some rooms can be very noisy, even at night, due to traffic outside—so packing earplugs is a good idea if you’re a light sleeper.

    The location is excellent—right in the heart of Tahrir, just a short walk from the Nile, the Egyptian Museum, bus stations, restaurants, coffee shops, and shops for anything you might need. The staff are friendly and do their best to make sure you get good value for your money. While the corridors and common areas are a bit narrow, the rooms themselves are relatively spacious, which makes up for it.

    I had the best experience staying at Tahrir Hostel in Cairo! The place is super clean, well-maintained, and incredibly comfortable. The location is perfect—right in the heart of downtown, making it easy to explore the city. But what truly sets this hostel apart is the amazing staff. They are kind, humble, and go above and beyond to make sure guests feel at home. A special shoutout to Loly, who was extremely helpful and kind throughout my stay. I also had a unique experience here—I accidentally left my camera at the hostel after checking out. The team specially loly went out of their way to keep it safe and ensure it was returned to me, which speaks volumes about their honesty and care for guests. They have one of the best view from the balcony. If you're looking for a place that offers comfort, cleanliness, and exceptional hospitality, Tahrir Hostel is the best choice in Cairo. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    The kitchen and breakfast area is very small and there's no real table to eat from. Noisy because of the location on Tahrir Square. The socket next to my bed didn't function. No safety railing for the upper bunk

    Perfect location, kind staff, good breakfast, WiFi worked good even for a video call.

    The shared rooms are nothing special, you tend to hang around your own bed. Anyway, good value on cheap travel.

    The beds are the pride of the hostel, good space and sleep, top beds are some of the best I've seen, so it's no difference if you get bottom or top. Staff is very friendly and talk english.
