It’s def not the ritz but the staff is very kind. I’ve stayed in a lot worse places over the years but they could def improve on cleanliness. The bathroom smelled terrible. But location is good and the price is very fair. Very close to Tahrir square in downtown and a good place to stay if you are visiting the Giza pyramids as a budget traveler

Nice hotel in Cairo

We like this hostel overall , but we don't like the check-in process, as the hotel lobby is on the 6th floor, no access from the ground floor unless you have an access card, which you'll get after you check-in. Free breakfast is served, with great coffee and tea, basic but nice. Parking is right by the street, but you need luck to find one.

Noisy and dirty but amazing location.

Too noisy, hard to sleep because if the windows and the highway besides the room. In 2 days we saw several bugs, 2 coming out the sewer pipe 😰. They didn't clean the room from one day to the other. No shampoo, just one towel for 2 people (2 days), we asked for the breakfast to take it away last day because of the early check out and they didn't do it. Elevator without doors, that's funny to see hehe. The situation was superb, thought.
