I can't believe the former reviews on this site. I booked this hostel through Hostelworld.com based on their positive reviews. I was very surprised about the cleanliness and home-y vibe. The cleaning women are always mopping up the bathroom and cleaning the toilets. The beds are fairly comfy and there's a chilled out common room. Haitham, the manager, is eager... more

AMENITIES:... more

For a budget stay in downtown Cairo I cannot think of a better place to stay. Staff were VERY friendly and accomodating and it was central to many attractions (minutes walk to the Egyptian Museum). All that and the price can't be beat. Definitely not the Ramses Hilton but clean and friendly. more
