City Hostel

City Hostel

4.1/540 Reviews
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 The interior design and facilities are also outdated.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.
Holy Sheet Hostel

Holy Sheet Hostel

3.9/535 Reviews
The Holy Sheet Hostel has a great location and we felt we were very central in Cairo. The area is somewhat walkable but never feels safe and gives a whole new meaning to walk like an Egyptian. In the morning the streets are quiet but after 2 pm everything seems to get crazy! The staff are very friendly here. The breakfast was nothing special but it was a nice fresh meal with tea or coffee to start our day. Mario, Alex and the kitchen staff were helpful enough and always friendly to us. This is one of the cheaper places to stay in the area so we can't complain too much about it but we wish it was cleaner. We booked the twin room which had a bathroom inside of it. The beds had hair in them already and the room smelled a little bit from the drains. The AC did work well though and the room was very quiet all night which was nice. The toilet and shower are in the same box without a roof or fan so go #2 at your own risk. We chose to use the shared toilets in the hall which had fans. We were a little disappointed with the booking and check in process. We chose Trip for booking and it started three currencies in our booking but also showed we only had to pay 3100 Egyptian Pounds when we arrived for our three night stay based on the currency exchange when we booked. However, when we arrived they told us we booked through ******* and had to pay 3600 Egyptian Pounds instead. We went back and forth for a bit but because it was late they were kind enough to check us in without paying because they could not reach their manager. The next day however I went to inquire and they said the manager said no and they tacked on another 300 Egyptian pounds to our check in because we were using a credit card. They did say that if we had used Booking or Hostel World we wouldn't have these issues. This has never been an issue in my 4 years using this booking platform so I'm disappointed in this hostel and their management team for this. The hostel is a little tricky to find but it is tucked down a street which is blocked off to cars and is on the 2nd floor of an older building. There is an elevator to get you up there but it is old style meaning that all the doors and gates have to be closed in order for it to operate. There are a ton of cats nearby and some good restaurants and convenience stores too.
Castle Hostel

Castle Hostel

3.9/511 Reviews
Castle Hotel is the best place to discover Cairo! It felt like home to me. I was in 8 different hotels in Cairo on my tour: castle hotel is my family and my choice no1 now. I know where to go to on future trips. Castle Hotel :) The hotel is located in the 16th floor, so you have the best view you can find. You can see so far. You can the city, the Nile, a little bit of a pyramid. Best traffic connection because ramses street. Shops 1 minute walk. Abu tarek koshari 5 minute walk, river Nile 5 minute walk. The staff is amazing. Friendly, always willing to help, welcoming, discrete. It’s a very nice vibe up there. The sounds of the city far away. Very relaxing. Next time I book an extra night just to enjoy the view. It’s just vibrant there and you feel the energy of the city. Can’t wait to come back! Thank you for everything! See you!
Dahab Hostel

Good social hostel. Really easy to make friends as a solo traveller. Breakfast was also delicious. Staff very friendly and sociable. I definitely recommend booking an air conditioning room in the hot months. The facilities were being cleaned regularly.
Museum Plaza Hostel

Museum Plaza Hostel

4.1/541 Reviews
Very nice little boutique hotel! Price is very reasonable - also, it's not a hostel as we would know a hostel in the UK. There are 10 rooms in the hotel, every one of them with private bathroom. - Breakfast was fresh every day. - Room was cleaned every day, with fresh towels and bed sheets. - Customer service was brilliant, the reception team was always helpful and nice. - The room was not super big, but comfortable enough for 2 people (we had a balcony for breakfast). - Perfect location, next to the museum and gov. Bazaar. Also plenty of restaurants nearby. - Only downside is that you can hear the traffic from the room, as Egyptians love to honk!
Cecilia Hostel

Cecilia Hostel

4/566 Reviews
Me and my girlfriend are travelling to Egypt and after being told by our originally booked hotel that out room was not available anymore (upon landing in Cairo) we have been given the lastminute choice to stay at Cecilia hotel by Booking.com. Luckily the destiny has done things right!! Attentive and very friendly people run this little hotel in Cairo downtown, close to centre, museums, shops, restaurants, cafe in a very safe area to go around in couple or solo. Free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and breakfast with a beautiful terrace where to spend the evening drinking something and meeting new people. Room was clean and good for 2 star hotel. Absolutely recommended and will come back!
Tourist Palace Hotel

Tourist Palace Hotel

3.9/517 Reviews
Our booking information we were sent said that the Tourist Palace Hotel was on the first floor. When we arrived at an unattractive building we managed to see a sign in the building with an arrow on the first floor that took you to a building renovation. It was only later that we discovered the hotel was on the 5th floor of the building that had a less than appealing entrance. We paid for an early check in but were not told at the time that the water was not working - that meant no shower, flushing of the toilet or washing our hands. The following day the electricity was out. The room was clean and comfortable but due to what was mentioned above we relocated to another hotel and our friends that were to join us the following night cancelled their booking. The hotel should be clearer online and onsite with the location of the hotel.
Golden Hotel Cairo

Golden Hotel Cairo

3.6/514 Reviews
Golden Hotel is right in the heart of downtown Cairo's action. A short walk to Tahir square, the museum and the metro. Be warned, downtown is noisy. And you take your life into your hands every time you cross the road. Staff were friendly and welcoming. The English spoken ranged from excellent to passable. Room was fairly small but cosy. The small bathroom was ok, just a sectioned off part of the room, hot water a bit patchy. No ventilation of it's own. There was a balcony, tv and fridge (not stocked with drinks as the booking site suggested.) The wifi did not work especially well, but I was later to discover that this was the best I'd find in any hotel in Egypt. They picked me up from the airport and also took me on a couple of other trips (Giza and Saqqara.) My only real issue with the place was the lack of breakfast. They said this was due to corona. I have tried to verify this but have not been able to. My booking on ********** stated breakfast was included. They said they had tried to get this changed but had not managed to do so. I just just checked again now (stayed there a couple of weeks ago) and it still states breakfast is included. So I would suggest that they are not trying very hard. This basically constitutes false advertising. There was no restaurant either (booking site said there was.) The owner told me I could buy a cup of coffee if I wanted. I took this as a slap in the face, I had paid for breakfast and should have had a discount, let alone pay for coffee. Would I have stayed here had I realised there wasn't any breakfast? Probably not, it's a hassle going to find food before one starts one's day of site seeing. But I wasn't gonna move once I was there. I would check this out before booking. Aside from the breakfast issue, this is a solid option.
Freedom Hostel

Freedom Hostel

4.1/535 Reviews
Excepcional estadía en Freedom Hostel. Totalmente recomendado. La limpieza del alojamiento y la atención de su dueño destacan por sobretodo. La ubicación es perfecta para moverse en El Cairo, puedes llegar al Museo Egipcio a pie y si prefieres Uber puedes obtener muy buenas tarifas a cualquier parte de la ciudad, incluso hacia al aeropuerto. Los mejores falafel del viaje los probamos en el desayuno!! Al entrar al edificio puedes asustarte un poco, pero no te preocupes que al llegar al piso del hostel, todo está muy limpio y en buen estado. Los baños son amplios y ventilados, buena presión de agua y siempre muy limpios. Finalmente, quisiera compartir mi experiencia contratando tour con Eslam, dueño del alojamiento. Planear este viaje por cuenta propia fue bastante complicado, ya que cotizar a distancia en agencia o por civitatis, no me daba garantías del servicio que esperaba recibir, y generalmente me enviaban cotizaciones absurdamente caras y ni siquiera estaban bien evaluados. Eslam desde el primer momento me ofreció el mejor valor dentro de lo que coticé, y decidí armar mi viaje junto a él, ya que conocerlo en el Hostel me daba la seguridad que necesitaba. Contraté las siguientes actividades: Crucero 3 noches, tour en templos de Aswan y Luxor, globo aerostatico en Luxor, Tour Dendera y abydos. Definitivamente fue la mejor decisión que pudimos tomar! Eslam nos armó un itinerario perfecto y a medida de nuestras necesidades. Estamos profundamente agradecidos de sus servicios. Fuimos muy afortunados de poder contar con él en todo momento y poder recibir un servicio de calidad y justo en relación a lo que pagamos. En cuanto al crucero, la estadia fue maravillosa, sus instalaciones y servicios superaron nuestras expectativas. En cuanto a los tours, un excelente servicio. El hecho de poder contar con Eslam y plantear nuestra observaciones nos daba garantías de un buen servicio. Un ejemplo de lo anterior. Durante el primer tour en Aswan la guía no nos llevó a la represa a pesar de estar esa actividad contemplada (dijo que estaba cerrada), por lo que se lo señalamos a Eslam e inmediatamente arregló con la agencia para que nos dieran una visita adicional a otra actividad en Luxor, en compensación visitamos Templo de Habu (el mejor templo de todos a nuestro juicio) dejándonos totalmente satisfechos su gestión y seguros que ante cualquier eventualidad podiamos contar con él. Durante nuestro viaje conocimos a muchas personas que la pasaron muy mal por haber contratado con agencias que daban pésimo servicio o los dejaban abandonados (de tripadvisor, guetyourguide, etc) y también a personas que pagaron incluso más que nosotros por el Crucero y éste estaba en mal estado... por todo ello, valoramos y agradecemos enormemente la honestidad, el profesionalismo y el compromiso de Eslam para con sus huéspedes, definitivamente lo recomiendo a ojos cerrados y para nuestra próxima visita sin dudarlo lo volveremos a contactar. Infinitas gracias Eslam!!! H

The service was good and staff were friendly. They were able to answer any questions I asked. The main issue I had was the noise and checked out a night early. I wanted to sleep in the afternoon due to coming from a different time zone but it was too noisy with traffic in the area. I asked to move to a quieter room but they didn’t have.
