    The room facing the square is a bit noisy, but as a tourist you might not stay there a lot anyway. If sensitive for that I would recommend earplugs for the nights, for me it was not an issue at all.

    Really friendly and helpful staff and great value for money. Comfy beds, airconditioning, and the breakfast was nice too.

    Personal only myself which feels a bit awkward but might other might have no issue is, they don’t have external bidet spray (شطاف) for toilet which is mandatory in all Muslim countries. I have been in Georgia and chosen the hotel where they are providing this facility. I totally understood that as per hostel it might be not necessary but it’s good impact for hostel for upcoming travels like me if they found additional facility which will cost you might be around 5$. These are my recommendation, rest everything was perfect.

    Everything, especially the 3 beautiful receptionist ladies are so kind and supportive for everything with beautiful smile. Also many thanks to the lady who cooked the breakfast, she was providing breakfast even after the schedule of breakfast. Thank you for your service and everything ♥️. Next time definitely I’ll book again your hostel

    Nothing. No lie!

    I didn’t expect I was going to be that comfortable in this hostel. They behave you profoundly and it is cleaner than what I expected. You cannot find good options a lot in Cairo but even if there would be more, I would give that score

    This is the best hostel in downtown Cairo. You will feel welcome from the moment you step into the hostel. They also offer complimentary drinks while you wait to check in. Marwa at the reception and Krolus are approachable, friendly and very helpful. You can ask them where to get good and inexpensive souvenirs, and they also offer tours around Egypt. The rooms are nice and very affordable. There is a shared bathroom, but I didn't have any problems with it. The bathroom is well-maintained and clean. I will definitely book here again if I get a chance to go back to Egypt.

    Nothing it is more expensive than other hostels in the area in general BUT the value delivered well exceeded the premium I paid The hostel location could be hard to find but its the building entrance is in-between KFC and a travel company

    1. Super great hospitality of the hostel with exceptional service i.e. allow me to store luggage during my first day in Cairo (which I only stay for 4 hours before transiting to Aswan) which my booking is on 7th day after . 2. 24 hour front desk with friendly staff, allow customers to use bathroom & toliet even after check out 3. Comfy bed and tranquil environment even it's located at Tahrir Square 4. Convenient location just near KFC at Tahrir Square 5. None of the staff asks for tips or anything which is very rare in Egypt .

    About price to desert when adking they say 100 US when pay charge more 113.

    Staff was very nice but one thing that I dont understand that when i asked for a trip to desert day say 100 US but when I go so they charge me 113 more so it seem I pay the most expensive in group. But other else was so good to me I think I get more than I give. Except the trip price for Desert 🤣 and when you do it they ask you for a tip too.

    The first room that we stayed was pretty dark because it had no window looking up to street. But the second room was opposite since it was on the street and it we had some sunlight. Also the bathrooms can be more clean.

    The staff was super helpful and understanding. The location was just PRERFECT. There is no better location as a tourist. We booked private room and they were tidy too.
