Don't go in winter if there's no heating; it was 10 degrees outside and 15 degrees inside. During my two-day stay, the first day the warm water was around 40 degrees. On the second day, after I kept urging them, they finally fixed it to just warm enough, but still not hot water. The decor looks like it's 15 years old. I came here because it said it opened in 2019. The service was indeed good, so I can't give a bad review for that. However, I spent two and a half hours over two days waiting for repairs and service. In summary, it's a five-star hotel with three-and-a-half-star facilities.

SvetlanaKhalatovaWe only stayed for one night as we had an early flight and the hotel is practically on the airport grounds. In the morning, the free shuttle to the airport departed exactly on schedule. It's a good hotel: clean, cozy, and the restaurant starts serving breakfast very early. I recommend this hotel!

First room smelled like cigarettes despite picking no smoking. Second room was an upgrade but it was actually the upgrade I originally paid for. My first room was a downgrade.

Guest UserI had very bad experience in this hotel and will never stay in the future again. I booked for double room however when I came and checked in and went up to the room , I was surprised that the room has two single beds . Called the reception and informed him but he said that the tour operator did not inform them that I have double occupancy and needs king size bed . They did not have king size bed available so we stayed in this room however , the AC was so noisy to the extend that you can not hear each other when you talk inside the room . I asked them to change the room and they gave me another one but the AC was also extremely loud - I understood after asking few questions that almost all rooms in the hotel are having loud noisy sound .
Next day they changed my room to double room with king size bed and I told them clearly that I need a room with good AC . I moved to the room and I was shocked that the the sound was fine but the AC was not cooling , the temperature in the room was not going below 26 degree. I told the recipient to send the engineering team and they tried to fix it but the problem was the same . No one did any courtesy call to check and I did not tell the Front office team about the problem as I lost all hopes that they will fix it . Stuff are generally not smiling , FO team are very dry and arrogant except for Mostapha , FB team are not smiling at all and they have stiff body language except for one lady in the lobby coffee who is very so cheerful ( morning duty )Muhammad and Amir from the sport bar are amazing and true hoteliers - they know how to talk to guests and they are very pleasant and always smiling - they are really professional. Muhammad from bell desk is just amazing and nice person . Yousef from laundry is a true hotelier who went extra mile and beyond his scope of work when he had to stay late after the closing hours of the laundry when I called him at 9:55pm asking him that I need one shirt urgent to be pressed as all my shirts are wrinkled in the bag. He helped me to do it and had to stay late - he should be eligible for employee of the month . I am not able to write many details here but I did not have a pleasant experience. Very important point that the feeling that you get to once you enter the hotel from the main entrance of the street that you are entering a military base from the amount of security level they have which I am fine with it but what I do not accept that when I came with uber and it happened few times - those security officers stopping the cars do not have the right to waste the time of the guests when we have to listen to thier personal stories after stoping the car and the guest inside it - it’s absolutely un acceptable and does not reflect a professional image for the hotel - those security officers must be trained to make sure that when uber car or any car enters the hotel with the guest , they should inspect the car and take copies of the drivers licenses instantly and swiftly - not to keep the car waiting for long time until they finish their story . This is irrespecful for the timing and we should pay a good attention to timing and train our staff how to respect it.
The housekeeping attendant forgot the dirty duster on the side table when she cleaned the room .

In general, it is not bad for me to stay in a single room with a common bathroom for 10 nights.
Above all, I would like to express my gratitude to the staff's efforts to manage the City Hostel clean which is too old and out fashioned building.
* Location & Transportation
Without noise, it is the best location to stay. It is located at 2 2-minute walk distance from Attaba subway station that connects to the Ramsis Railway Station and the Egypt Museum, only 1~3 stops away, charging 6 EGP per way. Of course, you can go to both by walk in 20 minutes. It means you can also enjoy the Nile riverside which is close to the museum.
And it is a 2-minute walk distance from the Attaba market which is the biggest public market in Cairo and so many locals visit to buy their livelihoods stuff at a cheap price.
In addition, you can also walk to the Al Azhar Mosque and Khan El-Khalili traditional market in 30 minutes, and St. Marc Coptic Orthodox Cathedral in AL Azbakeya in 10 minutes
Two problems I experienced are firstly the noi⁹sy from 8 am to 3 am outside the building due to market area and cars' horns. It took 3 days for me to adapt it. Any room in the hostel cannot escape it without changing the windows to soundproof ones. If you are sensitive to sound, it is better to find other lodges in a residential area or modernized ones.
Secondly, its location on the Uber taxi map and other maps is not accurate, so drivers have some problems in finding the city hostel. I have to meet them in front of the KFC next to the Attaba subway station. The signboard of the hotel is too small to recognize it.
* Building and room conditions
Like many other buildings in Cairo, the hostel building is old and shabby. The interior design and facilities are also outdated. However, the staff manages it so clean, particularly a common toilet and shower room.
It is quite convenient a washstand in each room.
However, it is bad there is no electronic kettle to boil water in a room or a common space. I could not enjoy my tea or coffee time at any time. I have to ask for hot drink water every morning when receiving breakfast, and store it in my tumbler.
It will be better to provide a tea or coffee service area in the hostel.
* Cleanness & Safety
Cleanness and safety are very good. I have no issue with this.
* Services
There is no basic service that most guesthouses provide in general: toilet paper and drink water.
Wifi is too weak to use the internet.
Other services like laundry are satisfied.
* Others
During my stay, I couldn't enjoy having an exchange time with other travelers. I think it is because there is no reason to stay in a common space where only sofas and a table are. Largely guesthouse provides a commonplace where guests enjoy better the internet or drinks including tea or coffee and foods, which makes guests meet each other naturally and structurally.
In conclusion, if the hostel provides basic services like toilet paper and commonplace with drink water and electronic kettles, it will be much better.
And it is necessary to change its signboard so that is more recognizable.
Except issues I mentioned above, it is a very good budget lodge.

I needed to stay here for a business trip. The good points are the consistently high quality of the St. Regis rooms, the abundant breakfast, and I loved the swimming pool.
The downside is the location. The new capital city is so new; the nearest shopping mall is a 30-minute drive away, and because it's so new, even ride-hailing services are hard to find. The hotel only has two restaurants.

Guest UserThe staff of this hotel was not good, At about 8 PM in the evening, the hotel front desk staff called the room and said that the hotel we booked only allows one person to stay. If two people stay, they need to add an additional fee of 70 US dollars. Very unlogic, so I leave my friend and I booked another hotel.but the facilities and environment is good .only their service is bad

I booked a family connecting room, which was essentially a king-size room and a twin room with an adjoining door. The beds were very comfortable, and breakfast was excellent. It's super close to the airport, and they offer a free shuttle service to all terminals. The Black gentleman at the front desk was very friendly and even gave a small parting gift to the kids when we checked out. It’s perfect for a layover stay at Cairo Airport; a taxi to New Cairo City Center Mall only cost 150 EGP.

We stayed here for two nights on two separate bookings, We had requested on the first day of check-in to join the beds, but they had not done it on the first day, and neither on the second day. They came and handled it at 8:30pm on the second night. The TV was not working on the first night and they told me they would let the IT department fix it on the second day, but that did not happen either. When we were leaving for our day out on the second day, we told the reception to handle everything while we are away, I guess they completely forgot.
