Holy Sheet Hostel is a hidden treasure. We stayed at Holy Sheet Hostel for two nights in two Deluxe Twin Rooms with Private Bathrooms. Both rooms were spacious and comfortable. The rooms have their own water heater providing for steaming hot showers (be careful not to run the water out). The breakfast and coffee were delicious and is served from 8am to 11am. We had a medical emergency and needed to stay one more night, and the staff was accommodating. The rest of the hostel has shared rooms and bathrooms. The entire facility was very clean, and the other guests are quiet. The neighborhood is in a busier part of town, and you can hear dogs barking at night. Don’t be fooled by the dilapidated entrance when you get there. Once you take the lift (which requires a slight pull to open) and get up to the 2nd floor, you will be instantly relieved by the small paradise that is the Holy Sheet Hostel. It was great value for the price. We will stay here again the next time we are in Cairo.

The room looked like the photograph - very clean and recently decorated. The staff were all really friendly and helpful. I have stayed in a few hotels in Cairo and will definitely try to come back to the Holy Sheet when I'm next here.

Staff was exception. Any question I had they knew the answer to and were extremely patient. Even arranging a taxi for 5:15 am and walking outside to meet the driver wasn’t a problem. Beds all have curtains for privacy and a lockable luggage area.

I stayed twice

Had a great time at Holy Sheet Hostel. Stayed in an all female dorm which was clean and pretty big. The sitting room with TV is a great place to meet other guests. The bathrooms have a toilet and shower all in one which was a different experience for me but I managed. The breakfast was filling and the staff were great. Thanks to Abdul, Mina and there one other terrific guy whose name I cannot remember but usually work the mid-day shift with curly hair. Because of the location and staff of Holy Sheets I stayed here at the beginning and end of my trip to Egypt.

Staff was great, good location. Breakfast was so so. Really comfortable beds with lots of privacy. If you take the bus from airport walk out to Middle island and wait for shuttle bus to the regular bus station. Then take regular bus 10 pounds to city center. Save lots of money over taking a taxi.

- beim Einchecken hieß es, dass Ägypter aus Kairo, Giza und Umgebung nicht hier übernachten dürfen und dass dies ein Gesetz wäre in Ägypten... Davon ist auf der Website überhaupt nichts zu lesen und wir durften bleiben. - in unserem gebuchten Zimmer mit eigener Toilette ist das Badezimmer mit Toilette auf einem Podest mit Glastrennwänden. D.h. es ist oben offen. Somit sollte man keine Scham kennen bzgl gewisser Geräuschpegel oder Gerüche (Fenster aber vorhanden) - der Boden ist mit PVC überdeckt. Leider haben sich mit der Zeit Nägel durchgebohrt die tatsächlich rausstehen an einigen Stellen und zwar so, dass man sich daran ernsthaft verletzen kann, insbesondere an dem Nagel zwischen den beiden Einzelbetten. - ansonsten super tolles Design, tolles altes Haus mit tollem Aufzug und freundliche Mitarbeiter mitten im Zentrum. Die Nebenstraße macht es super ruhig. - wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen, trotz der Kritikpunkte über die wir hinweg sehen konnten.
