Hostels in Cairo

Disadvantages: On the fifth floor of an old residential building, the service attitude is OK, but the hardware is too poor, like a guesthouse in China in the early 1990s. The breakfast is not rich either. Advantages: The location is very good, next to the National Museum, and relatively close to the Nile River, but the Nile River in Cairo is not worth lingering, the scenery is average. Egyptian...

The hotel is right next to Liberation Square. The location is very good. It only takes 5 minutes to walk to the Egyptian Museum. The hotel balcony can also directly see the scene of the museum. Although it is in the old city, it is very convenient to eat and shop around. The hotel facilities are average. The biggest problem is that there are few hair dryers. You need to borrow them from the front desk...

Close to the Egyptian Museum and within walking distance

You can't have high expectations for a room in Egypt. The hotel is across the road from Ebo. It is also close to the Nile River.

The surrounding businesses are convenient and not far from the subway station.

The location is very good, right in the city center, within walking distance of the Egyptian Museum and not far from the Hariri Market. If you are not picky, I recommend booking it. Otherwise, it is better to book the four-star hotel opposite.

Great place, reasonable cost, and perfect location. Staff are very friendly ☺️

Excellent hotel,nice prices,not expensive,very close to downtown ,treated them very well

This hotel provided me with an absolutely excellent experience. The apartments were clean and big, with lovely views of Talaat. The Wi-Fi signal was strong and consistent throughout the hotel, and the staff was quite kind and helpful. They went above and above to make my stay comfortable and enjoyable. The breakfast buffet was also a treat, with a broad selection of delectable and fresh alternatives...

Hotel is very near from tahrir square and Egyptian museum Parking is very near rooms is very comfortable &clean. Showers are clean & there's lots of hot water

Since the beginning of my booking, the staff replied immediately and was extremely helpful. I cannot emphasise the level of friendliness and helpfulness shown. It was true Egyptian hospitality, and more...

Highly recommended. Close treatment, kindness, very good tourist services. Very well located and clean accommodation.

The location is at city center nearby to Egyptian Museum. Plenty of amenities within 10 minutes walk. The famed Koshary Abu Tarek is within 6 minutes walk. The rooms are well maintained. There is a staff at the reception 24/7. Guests of all ages and nationalities can be accomodated. Suggestion for improvement: 1. The towels to be issued upon check-in and not upon request. 2. The lift need to be upgraded...

Everyone is very nice. The location is good. It's a very relaxing place. I like it very much.

A modern hostel in the heart of down town Cairo. I stayed in a female only dorm. The bunk beds are spacious and the bathroom clean. The Egyptian breakfast was tasty. Location was great, a few minutes walk from Tahir Square and close to restaurants and shops

this hostel exudes warmth and comfort from the moment you step in. The common areas are tastefully decorated, creating a homely atmosphere perfect for both relaxation and socializing. i definitely recommend it the place is very clean 🙏🏻❤️❤️

Not recommended. It's not comparable to a youth hostel. The front desk (or all the public areas) is a very cramped small room. It means that if you want to sit and rest for half an hour before check-in or after check-out, it's impossible, not to mention sitting in the public areas. I specifically booked a twin room, but when I got there, they said there were no twin beds, so two people could only squeeze...

had such a great experience! The staff is so friendly and speak fluent English. They are very knowledgeable about local secrets and give great recommendations. It is located centrally, right near to the main square in a safe neighborhood. The room are very clean and comfortable with blackout curtains and great AC. If you are considering a trip to Cairo this is where you should stay!

Perfect location 1 min away from pyramids gate. Professional staff. 24/24 reception. Sparkling clean rooms. Comfy bed. Generous breakfast. 10/10 Thumbs up.

Nice place, staff is very very friendly and helpful. Since it's not safe to drink tap water, they give you bottlee water for free all the time.

Great location, the staff is amaizing! Clean, safe and a lot of good food. Suitable for the kids. We had the best time. The view from the roof is incredible. Recommended!

Don't let the busy local street scare you. From the moment we parked our car (yes we drove... Not recommended...Use their Free airport pick-up/drop-off service) to the moment we walked away, we were treated like royalty. The owner and staff are extremely friendly and accommodating, and the view during our meals on the terrace, of the Giza Pyramids and Sphinx blew us away! It is breathtaking! There...

Excellent hotel!!! The owner was so nice with us. The breakfast was amazing.... totally recommended

The hotel is in a great location, just two minutes from the ticket office, the terrace offers a beautiful view of all three pyramids, and the breakfast is very delicious. We spent 2 nights here, after the first night we changed room because the window looked out onto lots of air conditioners and they were so loud that we couldn't sleep, we got a room facing the street and of course the street was...

This was my first time in Giza. The hotel was very nice. I had a standard room without view, which was okay because the rooftop provides an excellent view of the pyramids. The room was clean. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. Plenty of smiles. The breakfast buffet was included with the room. The wait staff was very friendly. I was a solo traveler, so they offered to take pictures . I...

We couldn’t have been happier with the location — the hotel is truly right next to the pyramids, offering breathtaking views. The lobby was clean and beautifully designed, really capturing the essence of Egypt. Breakfast was fantastic, and everything was spotless throughout our stay. However, the reservation process left a lot to be desired. We booked and paid for a family room with a balcony and...

I had a pleasent stay. The complimentary airport pick up is a great help as im travelling with my daughter. Rooftop 7000 is in this hotel. Great view of sphinx and pyramids.

Absolutely impeccable! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth, kindness, and a level of attention that’s hard to find. The staff was incredibly polite, helpful, and always ready to assist with a smile. Every team member went above and beyond to make us feel truly cared for. Our room was beautiful — spacious, spotlessly clean, and tastefully decorated. The bed was super comfortable...

I stayed in the Pyramid View Room at Great Pyramid Inn, and overall, it was a memorable experience. The room was very clean, and the service from the staff was truly top-notch—everyone was kind, attentive, and welcoming. I did run into a minor issue with the hot water not staying consistent. The staff did their best to help, but unfortunately, the issue wasn’t fully resolved. I had to manually adjust...

I was hier in September 2024. It was a dream. The hotel ist very good. Cheap and clean. The staff was very friendly. When you wake up the pyramids and the sphinx welcome you! I can come again to this hotel! I love it!

We had a wonderful stay at the Pyramids View Inn. We stayed for two nights and took advantage of the free airport pick up, which was so helpful because we arrived late and they waited for the long customs and baggage process. Everyone at the hotel was extremely warm, welcoming, and helpful. When I say that, I truly mean they were above average in their service and kindness. We booked a pyramid view...

This marks my second stay at this hotel. The entire staff consistently delivers an exceptionally high standard of service, characterized by seamless teamwork and thoughtful attention to even the smallest details. Particularly noteworthy is the breakfast, which features a daily rotation of local seasonal fruits and traditional confections—offering a delightful sense of novelty and pleasure each morning...

Beware when booking through Agoda. You may see prices on Agoda that are much cheaper than on other booking platforms. However, when you arrive, the hotel may claim there was a “system error” and that they cannot find your booking, saying the reservation is not under their hotel. In the end, they might ask you to book directly with them or through Booking.com at a higher price, which I don’t think is...

The young staff members were very kind and courteous. They never asked for tips, and their genuine kindness made my stay truly pleasant. Both the young staff and the shuttle drivers spoke fluent English, so communication was very easy. Unfortunately, I never saw the older staff members (not including a chef) working; I only saw them playing on their smartphones. Perhaps the older staff may not even...

Dirty bed sheets and very loud building work. Lovely staff but other aspects let it down3

The breakfast is bad for a hostel. They provided cold food like bread, boiled egg, jam & coffee. The location is good. Smells cigarette near the room area. The wifi is bad. The staffs are approachable. The photo is showing the area around from the hostel view.

Poor service, No basic necessities like shampoo and tower provided.

I made a reservation to rest for a while before going to the airport.

The room was relatively clean and the location was excellent. The view from the window and the access to tourist spots were great.

The hotel is very comfortable and the staffs are very nice. Nice hotel.

The room is very big. Although it is different from the one with balcony I booked, I am still very satisfied with it overall.

Great for a last minute booking Location is the best feature. Room is relatively clean. Stayed there once last year and once this year.

Simple place, if you waiting fancy stuff, definitely this place is not for you, if you don't mind with it and just wanna a place to crash by, it's worth cause of location. Islam is a truly gentleman. Helped me when I arrived at 2 am, was at street waiting for us, brought our luggage and made our checking without further problemas. Wonderful staff. Truly gentleman

We planned to stay somewhere else, but had a last minute problem, and got off the airport taxi look for somewhere else. It was right in front of this place, so we tried, and are glad we did. The staff are friendly, and gave us a nice room, with a view across the street to a beautiful old colonial building. The room is large, with bathroom, and hot water. The street traffic is noisy, but less so late...

We were really early, gave us a room straight away no issues, looked after us 👍🏼 Very easy to find directly opposite the museum walking distance Location is the best,heart of the city,the room has a balcony with a nice view ,super clean,the reception staff is kind and so helpful,and attentive to the guests needs. definitely will stay there again.

The views and the location is the best thing about this hotel. The view from my room (106) is directly in front of the Sphinx and the pyramid. Highly recommend arriving before sunset. The room is just okay, it has everything you need. The bathroom is a bit small but for the price, it is decent. The location is less than 2 mins walk to the Sphinx entrance with many restaurants and stores near by. The...

This hotel having a PREAUTHORIZATION policy which creates alot of hassles. I have spend so much time getting back the refund. I stayed in march , and now already May. Haven get back the refund yet omg . Whoever check in, please keep in mind on this

It is very convenient to check in directly after booking online and present the voucher on site. This hotel is great!

I booked it because of the view outside the window, but I didn’t want to charge EGP when I arrived, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to check in! ! Only US dollars! The rooms mentioned in the remarks were not given, but later I checked and it was actually not much different, so there was no need to deliberately book 101! This place is someone else's home! 1. There is no elevator! ! ! There are 4 layers...

The Pyramids view room has a great view. You can see the pyramids and the Sphinx while lying on the bed. The view is better than the Mena Palace Marriott. The roof view is also very good. Other hygiene, service, and breakfast are average, so don't hold too high expectations.

The service is good, the rooftop is great, the location is good, the sky is blue, the air is clear, and the distance is close

Clean and staffs are very friendly

One of the best view in Cairo, they are so amazing staff is so kind, even we missed lunch they still give us a small launch they are lovely, but you may change hotel but it’s near and the room is still great

I'll never forget the view of the pyramids from breakfast. A delicious and hearty breakfast with eggs, salad, sausages, cheese, turkey, and bread. They also offered us a delicious fresh mango juice upon arrival. From the terrace, you can enjoy the pyramid light show at 8:30 a.m.

To establish a successful hotel, particularly one that offers a memorable guest experience, requires careful planning and execution. Consider the following aspects: a welcoming atmosphere, especially for late arrivals; a blend of historical charm and modern amenities; a well-trained and attentive staff, as exemplified by the manager's warm welcome; and the provision of exceptional features, such as...

I stayed several and i got a admit i didn’t liked the neighborhood but the view is amazing! The staff is nice samir and Mustapha were super !

Very good location and friendly staff. Food is ok but don't expect culinary climaxes..

A good safe and humble place Like a family home a few minutes away from old islamic and historic places above that it won't hurt your budget 👍

Nice and simple place, no towels

Hotel 1 star ⭐ , it's very clean, the rooms have air conditioner, no alleviator, quite, Egyptian oriental breakfast, very cheap, neutral at all.

fair customer service, nice place to stay in, it comes with different breakfast options, close to the historic islamic and old Cairo. was an excellent experience

Location good room and bathroom very small breakfast same very limited item everyday cleanliness ok

Excellent experience at the hotel. Based on the price you pay, it might be one of the best deals around. The people - Mahmood and Mohammed are very helpful. Its walking distance from Al Hussein Masjid - the hotel is in prime location - especially if your primary purpose is to visit Raasul Imam Husain AS ziyarat. They arranged a cab for us for the places we wanted to see which was so helpful.

We had an amazing stay at Cecilia. Do note that the hotels and hostels downtown are older and in slightly dilapidated buildings, made up fully by authenticity, charm and the extremely reasonable price and value. The rooms at Cecilia are large with high ceilings and nice firm and comfortable bedding. Everthing was clean and the service impeccable. The staff really made our trip and were wonderful in...

I had great experience. It is in good area near the Center. The stuff is so nice and warm, making the guest to feel like a family. I recommend Cecilia!

…very hospitable and helpful people. We had a nice and clean room with a little balcony. Every morning we got a great local breakfast. The hostel is located in the downtown … close to the Egyptian Museum.

This is an excellent little hostel in Downtown Cairo. The staff is friendly and makes you feel at home. The area is safe. There are little shops in a minute's walking distance. The Nile (via Tahrir Square) is a ten minute walk, and it is close to some beautiful Coptic Churches and a historic Mosque.

Very friendly owner and staff with a great attitude and availability. Requests were handled with speed and trips organized without delays. The downside of the Cecilia is clearly the building it is located in. As a budget hotel you shouldn't expect a fancy hotel or a villa, but in some places this house looks ready for demolition. However, the rooms we've been in have been great for this price range...

I have been at Cecil for 3 times before, the accommodations was so comforting, service is so great and staff is so friendly as well. I am into the double height ceiling that it so classy.

Maybe because there were not many people staying, we were upgraded to a triple room. The hotel is located in the city center, within walking distance to the National Museum. There is a small supermarket downstairs and many restaurants around. However, since it is not on the first floor, you have to go inside the building when you first go there, remember to pay attention to the signs on the wall. There...

Nice cozy place to stay in city center, good for those planning museum or places close to old cairo Affordable price with breakfast

It was good. They took care of my luggage and the location was good.

The hotel is in a great location, very close to the National Museum and Victory Square, and there are many supermarkets nearby for food and drinks. The hotel staff is super nice and the breakfast is delicious. The sanitary conditions are very good and very clean. My phone fell in the toilet, and the hotel staff Mango (mangguo) picked it up and sent it back to my room. Thank him very much, I will definitely...

I booked a dormitory, but each person was given their own room during my stay. There were no bath towels in the room, but I asked the front desk and they provided some right away. The elevator won't move unless you close the door tightly, so it may be difficult to get in at first. The cats were cute.

Great location for visiting different places. The rooms were spacious and satisfying.

The hotel has nice clean rooms and is very close to the entrance of the pyramids. The rooms are clean and spacious. Would recommend, the reception are very helpful.

Very good. The view is invincible. It is very beautiful. The service is also very good. The staff is young and energetic.

Amazing stay with breathtaking pyramid views up. We got the room as we booked.The room with the view pyramids.The staffs are very friendly especially Nasr , aboode ,they are very helpful and so kind.

Quiet, facing the pyramids and the Sphinx, with a great view outside the window. Complete toiletries, hair dryer and other facilities. However, the fragrance in the house is too pungent. Locals like strong fragrance, and Chinese people probably can't accept it. It feels great to have breakfast on the rooftop!

I suspect the boss upgraded my room type, which has an unbeatable pyramid view. The shower water problem was solved immediately. Everyone is very nice. The breakfast is OK.

I am convinced that this is the best hotel with a view of the pyramids from the room. Also, the staff and the cleanliness of the hotel were perfect and I would stay there again.

Excellent location near Tahrir Square / Egyptian Museum and Sadat Metro Station. Staff were excellent in particular the manager Mr Ahmed receptionist Alaa and house keeping Azze. Breakfast was good. 7 floors reception and communal lounge on top floor. Whilst we were there I was admitted to hospital they checked up on me daily via my wife and friend who was also staying at the hotel. Warm welcome...

Good stay beds are comfortable

Many things are okay, but the water doesn't flow strongly and the door lock is difficult to lock. However, the location is considered good.

It has now become my favorite place to stay when I go to Cairo, very close to all amenities, places, transportation, great staff always with a smiling face, polite, helpful

Hygiene needs to be improved, but the price is acceptable

Perfect location near to metro station sadat…near to the tahrir square just walk a few minute from hotel..easy to get shawarma kebab haha
