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

While the overall hostel experience was not so bad, I have rated their establishment as "Terrible" due to their unethical business practices. The free tour to the Pyramids as advertised is not free- something that is made clear only after the trip is done and money is demanded. More than that, we almost lost 1300 Eg. Pounds when The Canadian... more

We didn´t like the Canadian Hostel because we felt the staff was always looking for tips and book expensive tours and taxis. Everything booked out of the hostel was cheaper. The room is horrible with a terrible bed and the shower had not much hot water. We don´t recommend this hostel. more

Having stayed at this hostel for a good 5 nights I feel worthy to give an accurate review. LOCATION: The location is great but as there are many other hostels and cheap hotels located along talaat harb, its not such a big plus factor.Some of the rooms are very noisy so ask for a room in a quieter location. 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
