First of all, Kareem was outstanding; communicated effectively, picked me out of the crowd at the airport during an early hour of the morning, gave me advice of where to eat, insights about the area of Cairo and genuinely cared about my time here. His staff also care about ensuring you have a great stay. This was very valuable, so thank you Kareem & your team. I felt safe and secure at the property. Plenty of space in communal areas & a great view towards the Nile. My room was large in size with air con and a nice view to the city below. A great spot to spend a couple of nights to explore Cairo!!

There was no housekeeping for the room for 4 days. There is a microwave, but no other kitchen items like a kettle or plates in the room. You can take those from the shared kitchen, but I didn’t because of cleaning issues. No bath amenities or slippers. I already knew there wouldn’t be, so that was expected and totally fine for me. Quick note: cleanliness is an issue here—just like in many places in Cairo, even luxury ones. So be ready for that.

The hostel is on the 8th floor of a building, converted from an apartment—very young hostel style with a vintage look. I stayed in a room with a dedicated bathroom and Nile view. The view is nice—just like in the photos. The place is super central. As a tourist, you can even walk to some cool restaurants and coffee spots nearby without being disturbed (which is super rare in Cairo). Overall, it was a nice and expected stay.

The bathtub is old and the shower door is not closing well. Since the hostel is in front of the main road it is very hectic and noisy during the day & night (just to keep in mind if you are looking for a silent vacation).

The location is amazing, it s very close to Zamalek main attractions. Kareem is very kind and friendly. The beds are very comfortable, and the place is constantly kept clean. There is a nice view from the balcony.

The only thing that I didn't like is that in the title it was written double or twins beds but they don't have double bed (of the category we booked).

The hostel is very nice and well located. We really appreciated that they let us check in early and leave our luggages until late. The bathroom is external but private and very big. We were scared about the noise, but it was totally fine.

Excellent budget option on Zamalek. Staff is super friendly and supportive. The bathroom could use an update, a bit outdated, and I had cold showers. On the other hand, the community room is nice and Internet was stable.

Unfortunately, the room I stayed in, is roadside. The great location of the hotel, also means there is a lot of noise from one of the busiest roads in the city.

Friendly staff. Great location. Kitchen facilities

Stayed in January 2025

Our room faced the big road on Zamalek which was a little noisy. It was hard to tell from outside the building where the hostel was located.

Clean and calm atmosphere

- private bathroom is very basic, with no cover on WC and no curtain in the shower, with corresponding water spillover - location on a highway is pretty noisy

- room is relatively big and placed on the 8th floor - location in zamalek is very good, although the hostel is placed on a highway and can be pretty noisy even during the night - staff is super friendly and helpful

Overall it was a good experience and if I were to recommend anything it would be to add few signages outside the building.

Hotel location was good and convenient. Plenty of coffee shops in walking distance. Hotel is clean and well maintained. Host Karim was very attentive and contacted well in advance to check on the arrival time for smooth check-in.

The main door closes late at night, so u need the guard downstairs to open it up for you

The bed are comfortable and the room is spacious

Nothing to say

The place was accessible to everything. Mr.kareem was an amazing host. The rooms are on the 8th floor, so it's relatively away from the bustling noise. So, we were able to get a good sleep. We had the room with an attached bath, and it came with an oven and a fridge. All were in working condition. Overall it was worth the money and we will definitely recommend this place.

Difficult to actually work out where to go when you're stood outside the building. Directions in text or as an email would be beneficial!

Great hostel in the busy area of Zamalek.

Our room was facing the Nile and being so close to the bridge and a main road can get noisy at times even with the windows closed. The wifi in the room was not strong but in the common areas it was ok.

The appartment is really nice and welcoming, our room had a partial view of the Nile and was very luminous. it was very clean and having a private fridge in the room was nice. it was very nice to meet Kareem, he was of great help and answered quickly to our requests every time. There are many restaurants and coffee places along the street where the appartment is located.

WiFi is not good

Kind stuff

We stayed for 5 days, it would’ve been nice if they cleaned the room or at least gave new towels.

Location is good as it’s in the middle of everything, but for the same reason the traffic noise was bad. Nothing to do with the hostel itself, it’s just Cairo :)

Nothing

We recently stayed at this hotel, located in the heart of Zamalek, a vibrant and central neighborhood in Cairo. The location couldn’t be more ideal, with close proximity to numerous restaurants, cafes, and essential services. Everything is within easy reach—banks, shops, and a variety of dining options—making this hotel a perfect base for exploring Cairo while staying connected to all conveniences. Another highlight of our stay was the warm welcome from Kareem, who went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable throughout our visit. From the moment we arrived, he was attentive, gracious, and readily available to meet our needs, adding a personal touch that made our stay even more enjoyable. His professionalism and kindness truly enhanced our experience.

There is some noise from the road as it's on a main road, but that is true almost everywhere in central Cairo! No toiletries provided but it's a hostel so that's to be expected.

The hostel owner Kareem picked me up from the airport and kindly waited a long time for my delayed flight. I booked a private double room and it exceeded my expectations. It was spacious and clean and came with some of the facilities of a hotel room. It also had its own balcony. The common area is chilled and has another balcony too. WiFi worked well for my basic use I only stayed for one night as planned but it did the job well. Kareem was friendly and check in was smooth. It's on the 8th floor but there is a lift.

heavy traffic but we were in the heart of Zamelek so it was expected.

Great host who was very helpful with a tour and taxi. Nothing but the highest praise for Kareem. Central location. Food and stores within aneasy walking distance.

Stayed in October 2024

The host offered an airport pick up but he arrived 1 hour late with a very bad car and the price was 20 US dollars, much higher than what is aked by Uber. The bathroom is old and not very clean. You have to switch on the boiler to hace hot water after 1-2 hours...

The position and the view on the Nile

Hmmm....I enjoyed every moment I spent there.

I really loved the kitchen space. It was comfortable for me to make my meals and its close to my room too.

Noisy on the street, but normal situation in Cairo,

In an old building but clean and comfortable

Stayed in May 2024

The bathroom was leaking and had water puddle of the floor, and a carpet for the shower should be provided. Sound insulation of windows might be increased.

The room is basic but provides what is needed. We had some misunderstandings on reservation and payments but Karim promptly reacted and solved it a friendly way.

Amazing property to stay in! We really like how clean the place was and how the room we booked (private double) had a fridge. Plus, the owner went above and beyond to ensure we had a pleasant stay, providing recommendations for restaurants in the area

Cairo is a very noisy city due to cars using their horns almost constantly. Despite being in the 8th floor, we could still hear a lot of noise coming feom one of the roads that connect zamalek to the rest of the city.

Zamalek is very easy and safe for a foreigner and it is surrounded by good restaurants, cafés etc. The hostel was very well located. Furthermore, Kareem is a very nice person that was available for us in case of need.
