    The only thing I didn't like was the breakfast. It was a coffee or a tea, a banana, boiled eggs, butter, jam and a piece of bread. I only ate the banana and the egg. Not the best healthy breakfast. But probably okay for most people.

    One of the best things for us was that we could arrive past 23pm. The boy there was friendly and helped us with everything we needed. The beds were okay, some comfortable, others not much, but good for the price. The bathroom was functional, don't expect more for that cheap price. We were all happy with the stay and would come back :) PD: For some reason we enjoyed the post war look of the building, it was an adventure for us, not a trouble x) PD2: The room had great views, we really enjoyed them.

    Although, I have overall positive feedback about this place, but this is true that the place is getting old and you can see some of those signature inside the washroom. Also the shower space is really tight.

    Overall this place is clean and comfortable. Really good stuff to help guests. However the best part is the location. Very close to one of the biggest intercity bus stop with an amazing night view.

    The bathroom in the room we stayed in had a leak , which made the floor constantly wet.

    Excellent location in downtown Cairo, easy to reach by Uber and taxi, also close to old Egyptian museum, and Nile river . Comfortable beds.

    Our A/C was on and off functional and it wasn't super clear how to reach the staff to fix it. Also somewhat difficult to find on the 10th floor up a somewhat sketchy elevator.

    It was a clean bed in a pretty good location for the price! A/C and decent wifi for Egypt. For the price we can't complain too much but definitely not a luxurious or fancy stay.

    The cleanliness could improve, the wc was leaking a little bit and the last day I saw 3 small cockroaches.

    A nice place in downtown Cairo, close to the Ancient Egypt Museum and many shops and restaurants. The personal was very nice and helpful. We arrived at 3:00 am and they help us to get to our room.

    I didn’t like the entrance of the building, it was untidy and somehow not clean, i also recommend adding slippers to the rooms.

    The staff was friendly, the room was tidy andd clean, you can find all your needs easily and the room has a perfect view that sees the citadel, old cairo, tower, and the river nile.

    The building entrance and the elevator did not seem safe

    We rented this room just for a couple of hours. We didn’t spend the night but i can say that the beds were clean. Customer-to-be’s gotta be aware of the fact that the bathroom is shared and is NOT very clean or newly decorated. No towels, no toilet paper, no napkin etc. The hosts were very friendly though and location is very close to National Museum

    The building in which this is located, seems to be sparsely occupied and doesn't seem to be in the best of health.

    The location is great as in a very active area. The room turned out to be better than expected for the price - but don't expect wonders as this is a hostel. The staff was great and extremely helpful - provided us the breakfast in dinner itself as we were supposed to leave very early in the morning. The room was small, but clean and comfortable. The bathroom was average. Really loved their shared area for eating.
