Castle Hotel

Very nice spot, comfortable and clean room, friendly staff and cozy terrace. I would definitely come back

First of all, we’d like to thank the amazing staff of this hostel that made our stay super comfortable. Our room was more than enough for the price we paid, bed was comfortable. Rooftop was spectacular, there was free breakfast every morning. Lastly, would like to mention again that all the staff was super friendly and helped us with all our requests. 🤎

Castle Hostel is a cute and comfy hostel in the center of Cairo. We spend a total of 5 nights, the room was clean and the bed comfy. The rooftop was absolutely the best! 😻 A cozy space with great views to chill after a long day exploring the city. Nevertheless, my favorite part of the hostel was the staff, all of them were lovely and attentive to all our needs💘

Thank you Castle Hostel! 💚

Staff is very polite and the location is great. There is a rooftop communal area. Highly recommend.

I stayed for 5 night's at the Castle hotel and had a great time. It's the kind of place where solo travelers can meet other travelers, like the old backpacker days! Yes the elevator is scary but it plays a dua for your safety. 😁 The terrace is nice in the morning for breakfast. My only suggestion is to bring earplugs if you are sensitive to noise (altho you get used to the sounds of Cairo). Fresh towels and more toilet paper for each room would be good too, but its normal at a hostel. Location is perfect for seeing the real, genuine Cairo. Lots of great places to eat and drink nearby. Helpful, friendly staff. See you again!

The location is a gem; you cannot be more centrally localized (right by Tahir Square). The staff is stellar and will go out of their way to make your stay as memorable and pleasant as possible.
Don't let the outer façade fool you (nor the charming elevator ride); it's downtown Cairo so take it at face value.
The rooms are clean and practical as well as the bathrooms (of which there are several).
Piece of advice: book your trips with the hotel. There might be a a small markup than what you might find online but it makes sure your Egypt experience is hassle free. Key point to EVERYTHING in Egypt: always discuss the details so there's no unexpected costs.

Clean, excellent location, well run, no bed bugs, strong hot water pressure for the showers. The manager is cosmopolitan, helpful, fluent in English, Arabic and Swedish as well. Committed to the success of his business, he clearly wants each guest to be happy. The young men he has hired to manage the desk 24/7 were all highly intelligent, personable, helpful, gracious, fluent in English, and a genuine pleasure to get to know. The housekeeper/cook is the sweetest person I met in Cairo, and that's high bar -- it's a city populated with warm, open, friendly people. I will remember the entire staff fondly. The rooftop is the great amenity -- broad view of the city and a lovely place to hang out, with a big guest fridge, kettle, and fully equipped kitchen for cooking. I stayed 19 nights in the dorm room (7 beds) meeting many extraordinary world travelers, making some good international friends. Wifi worked throughout the hotel-hostel including the rooftop and dormroom. There's a different cooked breakfast every morning, though there are also lots of restaurants to choose from nearby as well. Great place to stay overall, if you enjoy meeting friendly travelers in a comfortable environment. I'd be happy to stay there again.

Stayed here multiple nights and would highly recommend it. Quiet and comfy rooms with good beds, clean bathrooms, delicious free breakfast, a fantastic rooftop space with views of Cairo, 24-hour reception, laundry service, good wifi, unbeatable location. Competent, kind, friendly staff! This place is wonderful.
