Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
There was nothing to like about this property. From the moment we enter the property, it was pitch dark, room door was not lockable, room was cramped with maximum beds so literally no space to walk or keep ur luggage. Elecrical outlets were all broken so can't charge ur devices. washrooms were out in the hallway, not at all suitable for family or with kids, no privacy as such. Someone was always laying on the couch opposite the room doorway and washroom. Elevator is broken most of the time so u need to climb 4 floors. Ppl just try to give u helping hand and if unknowingly u don't stop they will ask for money to offer the help thereafter. Breakfast was 1 boiled egg, and super soft white bread, if u try to spread butter or jam, it all breaks in pieces. There is a small table beside the room door, suitable for 2 ppl, where 5 of us need to stand and eat that lousy breakfast. The only good thing abt the property is good wifi signal. They say free parking but i doubt there is any as the property entrance is right on the busy road, luckily we went there by cab. There is no sign board of the property, just a listing on the small noticeboard on the entrance between shops. Very difficult to find if u are a visitor.

It's calm and people there are more than kind. As well as being in the heart of the city of Cairo with less than five-minute walk to Tahrir Square and metro station.

AVOID this place! STAY AWAY! They are a joke!
Avoid this place like the plague. We booked 3 months in advance yet on arrival we were met by one guy asleep on the floor behind the checkin counter(hard to tell if it was actually a checkin counter given the state of it) and another man who matter or factly told us they had no rooms. Annoyed, I demanded our money back. They then said they had somewhere to stay "only 5 minutes walk away". As an experienced traveller this smelt fishy if you know what I mean. Something wasn't right so again I demanded my money back. They finally agreed but tried to refund me in Egyptian pounds at a lower rate than was available. After much arguing finally they refunded our money appropriately. Not in all my years of travelling have I dealt with such a poorly managed hostel. Please fellow travellers, stay away from this hostel.

Great place for budget traveling
We had an excellent stay here. It is nothing fancy, however it was definitely clean and the employees were beyond friendly. The drivers they got for us were great! If you're looking to travel Cairo on a budget and be near the action, stay here!

Good price for the Centre of Cairo
Good location within walking distance of Egyptian museum. Hassle free airport pick up and drop off. Close to MacDonalds and KFC if Egyptian food is not to your taste.
