Hostels in Cairo

24h reception, which allowed me to check in late night because of my delayed flight

Stayed for three days, and the scenery in Greece is truly breathtaking. Just a short walk brings you to the famous cliff attractions, it's incredibly dreamy and therapeutic! If I ever need to, I'll definitely come back. The staff were very enthusiastic, and laundry service was free.

This hotel was distinguished by features rarely found in hotels, namely the owner's commitment to a warm, family-like atmosphere. We lived there as one family, all having fun and helping each other. I made friends from many countries.

Cecilia Hotel is located at the center of everything. Visitors don't travel long distances to find Restaurants and Shops. And the hotel staff is always available if you need any help🙂

Honestly, I didn't like the entrance. The staff are excellent and the bed is comfortable.

Everything here is great! The location is excellent, the interior decoration is very retro, and the most commendable thing is the rooftop! You can enjoy the beautiful view of Cairo city here. The owner and service staff are very friendly and they are happy to make friends. I spent a very memorable three nights here! Although the facilities may be a little old, you can't ask for anything else at such...

This place was a really nice surprise! Good nightly rate for a private room, clean, good WiFi. Excellent location in downtown Cairo. The building it is in is very old but the part with the hostel in it is comfortable and beautiful on the inside.

We had a great stay at this hostel. I booked a private room, which was comfortable, clean, and perfect for a bit of extra privacy. The location couldn’t have been better, everything I needed was within easy walking distance, and it made exploring the city incredibly convenient. A special thanks to Yousuf at the front desk. He was friendly, helpful, and went out of his way to make sure we had everything...

Very lovely place to stay in the city center that is close to everything. The hotel is super clean and the staff are all kind and nice. Definitely recommend.

This hostel is in a great location. I had a private room which was really nice - spacious and clean with comfy beds. It’s noisy but any hotel in downtown Cairo will be the same. The breakfast was not bad. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I didn’t think the pyramids tour they organised was great - the car was not good and the guide was not great. But the hotel itself is really good and great...

I liked the place in general! There is an elegant interior design that gives a perfect touch to its Egyptian theme! Decorative and well organized throughout the interior! I liked the look! Also the service of the staff is veryy good! It gives me good taste and I like the charisma! Always with the smile of everything! Attentive to the guests! The only bad thing is the entrance I thought was leading...

An unexpectedly great hotel! The staff was extremely helpful and resolved any issues that arose. Upon check-in, they explained the room amenities in detail. The room itself had comfortable beds and was generally quiet—we woke up to the alarm clock rather than street noise. There's a restaurant (indoor and a few tables on the veranda) with several breakfast options and a small menu that's plenty for...

Rooms are not that great, but for the budget and the location it's a decent deal with breakfast. ( it was not great again ) Recommend you to carry your own water. Budget friendly accommodation. Nice and friendly host. The host took care of our luggage for three days for free of cost.

Amazing hostel! If you are looking for a hostel that is chill with AMAZING staff I recommend this place. I felt safe as a female solo traveler and reception did an amazing job at handling a problem with my booking. They helped me book a night at their sister hostel and then fixed me a room the following day with them for the same original price. I originally booked with hostelworld but I recommend...

I had received my tourists from this hostel EVEn me I I noticed its perfect to guide our tourists to old cairo tour and the egyptian museum Highly recommended to my tourists

Staff was super accommodating with good recommendations, room was clean and bed was comfy. Amazing central location to everything we wanted to do today!

Great location, right next to the Egyptian Museum, Tahrir Square, AUC, Greek campus.The hostel is in old classical building which I adored. Easy access & transportation by metro (Sadat Station). Staff were friendly and welcoming. Room was clean and comfortable and the balcony was breathtaking. Good prices and overall good service.

This was our first time visiting Cairo. Traveling from California (America). My first time ever staying in a Hostel and I must say, it was a nice experience. The staff was very helpful and helped us find food (we landed at 11:30pm but didn’t get to check in until around 1am). Room was nice and clean. I would have given 5 stars but the bed was uncomfortable but still nice for a hostel. The complimentary...

我在这家旅馆度过了一段美妙的时光！从我到达的那一刻起，工作人员就以热情的微笑和出色的款待迎接我。他们非常乐于助人，随时准备解答任何问题，甚至还提供很棒的当地推荐。房间一尘不染、舒适且设备齐全，确保您一夜安眠。公共区域非常吸引人，让您可以轻松结识其他旅客并分享经验。地理位置优越，方便前往公共交通、餐厅和主要景点。我真的很欣赏友好的氛围和优质的服务。我强烈推荐这个地方给任何想要舒适、实惠、温馨住宿的人！

The view in front of the accommodation is great The location is very convenient and the service was really good! It's not super clean! I think I'll stay here again next time

Check-in: Arrived at 7am and the staff were very kind and helped me check in Hygiene: There is an aunt to clean every day, so everywhere is very clean Security: The elevator and lobby are monitored, the front desk is on duty 24 hours a day, need to pay attention to the downstairs door is closed at night, you can call someone to open the door Room: Live in six rooms, actually each room has a door, privacy...

An absolutely unexpected gem in the heart of Cairo and an unparalleled experience overall. This place offers a truly fantastic experience. It’s clean, modern and provides everything you would expect at a very economical price. Not to mention that both the owners and the staff simply manage to redefine the notion of hospitality through their actions. I can honestly say it was the best hostel I ever...

My name is Frederick, I was really happy to spend my stay in August at Cairo Hub Hostel in Egypt, all the staff there are very kind, welcoming. I invite you to take a tour, you will never be disappointed. I am very sure that i will come back again..

Very nice place to stay in Cairo! The staff is very friendly and very kind, and the location is very close from everywhere The rooms have a nice view ! Highly recommend ! I came with my friends and some days alone ! Thank you for everything, for sure I will back

I was surprised to find that not all room types have air conditioning. In hot weather, this is a basic necessity, not a luxury. No matter the room type, AC should be standard across the board for guest comfort. Please make this clear in the listing and consider upgrading all rooms.

Very good. The boss is very attentive. Get up early to prepare breakfast for me They are a pair of grandpa and grandma Take good care of me I think they feel safe there. But remember to bring earplugs There are prayer sounds nearby You may be disturbed at night

Skewed bed but good location in this area. Mediocre bed, skewed mattress No towel. However very authentic 60's decoration and in the vicinity only couple of hotels so in that sense this is the only sensible option to experience this area. Taxi cant go directly to door in other hotels. I recommend for couple of nights, not more.

Location good I can't ask top quality service for a 10 pounds a night

No towels. Single pillow only. No lift- difficult with heavy suitcases. Very friendly. Excellent breakfast.

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 👍

Good location in downtown Cairo. The bedroom and bathroom were very clean and tidy with AC. The bed was comfy and the room included a fridge too. The staff were friendly and helpful when it came to food suggestions and information on how to get around. Simple breakfast included.

Very friendly and accommodating staff. The location is very close to everything. You can shop cheap trendy clothes nearby. Blaban and other famour food chain is just few steps away. Highly recommended! ❤️

This budget hostel located in the heart of Cairo city is our last minutes resort. The front desk staff are very helpful and try their best to meet what you need. Free Wi-Fi and continental breakfast. Enjoying viewing Nile Sunset at river bank is a 20-minute walk.

Simply impeccable! From the moment of arrival to check-out, my experience in this hotel was perfect. The team is extremely attentive, always smiling and ready to help with any detail. The cleanliness is a separate highlight - everything was impeccable every day. In addition, the location is excellent, close to everything, but still quiet to rest. A place that I recommend and I intend to come back!

On my last day in Cairo, I used it as a day use as I was leaving late at night. It was a hostel but I booked it because it had a private bathroom. The towels were not as good as those in a hotel, but they were fine to use. You can borrow a hairdryer at the front desk. Soap, body wash, and shampoo are provided. The location is very convenient as there are many restaurants and souvenir shopping (including...

Don't know how this hotel got a high score of 4.6? I won't choose it again anyway. The facilities are extremely rudimentary. There is not even a stool in the room. There is nothing you need. The pillow is so hard that it feels like sleeping on wood. The bed is also hard. I felt sore all over after sleeping.

It has a very good location near to everything and was a saver to be able to check in at 2am after a long travel. It was clean and good one but could be a little bit cheaper to meet the expectations. I didn't catch the breakfast so, I cannot judge it.

Location of this hotel is nice and the owner is a decent person, always ready to help you. Beds were bigger than many hostels I have been to and these were comfortable. Lifts were not working and I had to walk through the stairs with my heavy luggage. Bathroom was good but it could have been cleaner.

All the staff was friendly and always willing to help you. The room is very clean and the breakfast excellent. Really good price for the service, have been recommending to friends and family.

The staff is very nice and polite, we stayed 3 nights here, on our first night we had to change our room from balcony to no balcony due to the noisy traffic.

Excellent services. Extremely warm welcoming. We feel so good staying at Freedom Hostel. Room, bed, blanket, towel are so cleans. 15 min by walking to Tahrir square. Lot of money exchange spots, so too easy for tourists.

Location of this hostel is amazing for being right in the downtown area of Cairo. It is on the top floor of the building, 3 flights of stairs. Staff were lovely, breakfast was great, rooms were clean, comfy beds and working water. Would recommend. Absolutely avoid the hotel in the same building though- like 100% avoid.

The best part of this hostel was absolutely the wonderful staff working here, they truly make you feel like this is your home away from home. The rooms and bathrooms are kept very clean. Beds are very comfortable, Wi-Fi works very well. The breakfast in the morning is included in your stay and it is good and plentiful! Excellent location as you are walking distance to many places. Really great value...

The receptionist was very kind. She gave me coffee and cleaned my room with insecticide when I told her there were flies!! She also provided towels, so I highly recommend her!

The room is quite crowded. The house is old and the location is good.

İt was a lovley experience the Employees is so kind and so caring. I am recomend to stay here.

Cozy, comfortable room in an old decrepit looking building 😂 if you ignore the facade and dont mind the 5 flight of stairs of old Cairo building that feels like 8 normal height storeys, you’ll enjoy this value for money place. Very hard to find especially at night. Thanks to someone random who posted the picture on here that I managed to find it! I walked in for a night because other hostels cancelled...

It’s a nice hostel near downtown Cairo, cheap and cozy. You can basically get everything downstairs. there are many shops and restaurants. Kazaz restaurant is the one I strongly recommend. I stayed here for 2 weeks and it’s a perfect place if you are traveling on budget, and the stuff is very friendly and helpful. And the room is very quit and clean.

Small family owned hostel. Beds in the sherd doorm are uncomfortable. Bad communication between the staff. Price for booking online is cheaper then just showing up.

I loved Egypt. The hotel is very clean, confortable and safe. The security is excellent We lost the cellphone and don't know where it was lost (hotel, piramids or in he transport bus). We looked for the hotel secutiry team and we received the phone immediatly. Thanks to: Abd El Azem A Zaher; Mustafa Fathy Mohamed Mustafa

Good hostel and hotel. But for hostel they have not kitchen. Staff is good.. suggest for small stay. Location is good near railway station and metro. Near city centre.

One of magnificent places u could see in egypt ..... awesome art of building

Simple and cheap especially for solo traveler, they have a very old Lift which is, sometimes its not working. But the staff are good. Poor in ventilation.

Excellent location in the heart of Cairo, clean, affordable room, very hospital staff. It was a good end of a heavy duty day☺

A good location in the city centre. It was easy to find. I recommend it.

The room presented had nothing to do with the one chosen on the internet, which said it was: I think, 25 m2, bathtub, balcony overlooking the street and I found a room without a window, dirty walls, a wardrobe without one of the doors.

Stayed here during my layover. It’s okay.

The service is warm, friendly, clean and very safe.

The main thing is that it is cheap, the store is a bit shady, and for other prices, you get what you pay for.

Excellent location and very well appreciated. Helpful people who know how to receive. I would definitely come back

This was an ok hostel stay. I would have rated 5/5 had it not been for 3 things: 1. Had to rent towels 2. Smoking right outside the door, which meant the reception/common area reeked of smoke whenever someone was smoking. 3. Flies were buzzing around at breakfast time.

I booked twice in a row, once for 4 days and another for 3, with consecutive dates. Something I've never experienced traveling solo before: this hostel tells you to switch rooms after two days. First, I had to move from an upstairs room to a downstairs one because my original room was designated as a male shared room. Then, after another two days, they told me again I had to move because this new room...

Location: Right next to the Egyptian Museum. The exterior looks a bit rundown, but the room was quite spacious. Service & Facilities: The front desk staff were very welcoming. If you pre-order breakfast, they'll deliver it to your room.

The room was decent; at this price, you can't expect too much. The location is excellent, right next to the Egyptian Museum, and there's a small convenience store nearby. However, you'll need a taxi to get to the pyramids. Going left, you'll also need a taxi to reach the largest mall. Each ride costs about 30 EGP. My first two days were mainly for sightseeing, and on the third day, I spent the whole...

The location is fantastic, directly opposite the museum and very easy to find with convenient transportation. The staff were all excellent, which is a big plus. The breakfast was also quite substantial.

Great experience, nice breakfast, good room and nice staff. Even arranged a nice Nile dinner cruise. Many thanks

A fantastic hostel, the hostel staff are very very good, you should definitely stay here when you come to Cairo, thank you for everything ＜3

Near Tahir square, busy neiborhood. The owner (Mina) and his staffs are very kind, friendly and helpful.

It's the best cozy hotel ever I loved the atmosphere over there Thank you to Mr. Mina, Moheb, Daniel, Yohanna, Mody, and Osha Love you guys, and I hope to meet you soon

Daniel is the only staff who is nice and polite here. All Other staff abrupt and don’t make you feel welcome. Good location and nice breakfast although doesn’t start until 8:30

Cheers Hostel is the best hostel in downtown, it has a great location in central with everything, the staff is so friendly, welcoming and always wants to help. The rooms are so clean and tidy. Also they arrange high quality tours with the best prices. I recommend it to anyone 😉

This place is small, only 5 rooms, on the third floor of a typical building of the area. It is budget accommodation, and fine for that. The sign for it is small too. Our room had a high ceiling and the second bed was great for spreading our stuff out. The bathroom was a little funky but serviceable. The water was hot. Staff friendly.

The entrance was hard to find. The elevator was very dangerous. They accommodated midnight check-in and early morning check-out. The streets were scary to walk around in the middle of the night.

The location was great and it was easy to get around. The breakfast was delicious and the beds were clean. However, it was disappointing that there were no amenities provided. If there were at least slippers and a hair dryer, it would have been perfect. The entrance is a little hard to find, so it might be easier to find if you look for a store called shidbat.

Remember this entrance, otherwise you won't be able to find it at all. The front desk is quite welcoming, but they don't speak English very well. They mainly provide service with a smile. Except for the location in the downtown area, everything else is unsatisfactory. It's really just an ordinary B&B. You can't ask for too much at this price.

The location is perfect, but there is no sign, so it is difficult to find unless you ask people around. However, the worst thing is that the water frequently stops. During my two-night stay, the water stopped 4 to 5 times. Each time, the hotel staff turned on something like a breaker to deal with the situation, but it was a hassle not to go and tell them every time, and I had to be nervous about the...

The location was also very good. The rooms were clean and comfortable. However, the only disappointment was that there were no amenities such as shampoo or body soap.

I knew nothing about Egypt and only read the reviews. The manager and staff were very friendly and there was an elevator so it was easy to carry luggage. There were some flies but no bed bugs. However, the water supply was often cut off so I had to adjust it with a switch in the hallway, and even then, the water was cold. Of course, it was not soundproof so I could hear the sound of cars outside and...

The breakfast was very good. The location is very good, close to everywhere. Excellent value for money.

The location is convenient for getting around. It's not far from the Nile River, and there's a business district behind it. It's within walking distance of the museum. It's a little hard to find on the 16th floor. There's a lot of traffic on the road at night, and the handsome guy at the front desk is very welcoming.

The location is good near the Nile River and the museum. However, the payment online is only an advance payment. You can choose to pay by cash or credit card when you arrive at the store. Please note that they do not accept old version of US dollars or damaged (even just a corner, and there is only a hole in it) cash. They only accept intact and brand new cash. If you use a credit card, there is a...

Castle Hotel is the best place to discover Cairo! It felt like home to me. I was in 8 different hotels in Cairo on my tour: castle hotel is my family and my choice no1 now. I know where to go to on future trips. Castle Hotel :) The hotel is located in the 16th floor, so you have the best view you can find. You can see so far. You can the city, the Nile, a little bit of a pyramid. Best traffic connection...

Cracking little place in downtown. Good if you want a relaxed, sociable feel. Nice staff. And yes, the roof garden is a top (excuse the pun) additional benefit, especially at night. I was staying in dorm, all to myself. One recommendation: could do with installing curtains, for privacy, especially when mixed.

Need to be more professional in their services and the building is a bit weird

Best $16 hotel in town. Being an experienced traveller, I walked the approximately 1 1/4 mile distance from Ramses train station ( traffic is crazy). Biggest problem with the hotel is how it's located. The entrance is accessed by walking through an unmarked walkway from the street, not on the street itself. There is a medium sized hotel sign across the street from the entrance, but if you're not looking...

Great hotel in the heart of Cairo. Large room with private bathroom and it’s own balcony! Not much of an entrance, but the hotel is nice and the staff are amazing. Plenty of friendly faces and great advice. We’ve travelled a lot and love hotels like the Bella Luna, great value, safe and friendly, perfect location! Looking forward to our next visit to Cairo.

I am going during winter season.I ever stay here for 3 time with 3 separate day. Depend in what kind of room your stay. The first night stay I have very bad experience with the room (304). Room look old and not so clean. Shower can be consider not hot at all. The following day I stay at other room. I have feel other room have better condition compare with previous one. With hot shower is working and...

This little hotel called the Museum Plaza is great value for money, the staff are fantastic, reception all speak English, breakfast is good and so central Cairo (some would say too central) across from the museum. Mustafa and the hotel staff are friendly and nothing is a problem. Rooms are not tiny and there is ample room. Our room 204 had a balcony and gave us great entertainment watching the square...

This hostel, is at the heart of Cairo. All the rooms, WC, and the living room are very clean. It also provides you breakfast! The people of the hostel and specially Mr Ahmed the manager of museum hostel are very very friendly, open to every question that someone has and they always give you tips about every place that they recommend you to visit. This place is the best place that someone can live while...

It is the BEST place to stay. The time i spend in this hostel was the best of all my trips. Mr Ahmed is such a great men, he , and the staffs are always there to help you. I used Museum house hostel as a base point when i was traveling to another cityes,and i´ve never feel more peaceful , happy, relaxed and belonged than in this hostel.

Ahmed is the man. Good, helpful guy with a sense of humor. The beds are comfortable and the place is clean. Good chill atmosphere, and met good people there. Location is perfect. One of those places I planned to stay 2 days and stayed 6. And I'll be back before I fly out.

This is one of the best hostels that I have stayed in, hands down. The place is centrally located in Cairo, just a few minutes away from the Egyptian Museum and Sadat metro station. It is also one of the cheapest hostels in the area, and for the quality you get, you are basically staying for free. Ahmed, the hostel owner, and his staff are very friendly. They arranged a tour of the pyramids for me...

The hotel is is in an excellent location downtown with the wonderful museum just across the road and so many places close by. Ahmed was very helpful, offering to arrange a taxi from the airport in for a good price before I arrived, at request he arranged a tour of the pyramids and a ride back to the airport. The staff were very affable and professional. The room was clean and everything worked well...

Amazing place with a good service plus the stuff they are so kind, they will make you feel like you are in home.

I stayed for one night last February, it's good for quick visits, the staff were very friendly and helpful, the place is clean but not 'Monica clean'. In general : i recommend it. I would go again.

The hostel is located approx 15 walking minutes away from the Tahrir square. The nearest bus station is 20 walking min away. Food markets nearby. The hostel is inside a residental building. At the first sight it looks a bit doggy in the entrance but this is normal for egyptian flats. It offers a common area. The wifi on the second floor does not work though. Bedrooms are spacious and beds are...

I have stayed there for 4 days it was amazing room ia clean, ac was good, for the price i paid its really a value for your money, location was good its walking distance to too many resto and shops

I enjoyed my stay here. The staff are friendly, although they can be a bit noisy in the morning, haha, but that's because my room is right in front of the reception. There are no towels or bathroom slippers provided. The hostel's location is convenient, situated in the city center with various shops, restaurants, and markets nearby. Overall, you won't be disappointed with your stay here.

Confortable beds, good wifi, strong hot shower, spotless clean, fair breakfast and well located. The downside is that they require payment in dollars. If you don't have dollars, they will convert it into egyptian pounds using the black market rate, not the official one, in my case increasing 62% the amount paid

The place is a bit difficult to find as the name wasn't anywhere written in the building. We had taken a bedroom and the room had high walls and was neatly kept. The washroom had all the amenities one can think of. The balcony was very calm and serene. We loved the hotel but unfortunately couldn't stay more than a day due to pre-planned schedules. The breakfast was served in the room and it had Egyptian...

Great Location, Lovely Staff, Value for money, super comfortable stay. Liked · 1. Very comfortable extra large single beds with privacy curtain, lights, lockers and sockets for each bed. 2. Helpful staff, doing their best to help you out. 3. Located about a 15min walk from Tahrir Square. Lot of shops and markets around, if anything is needed. 4. 12-15beds in the room but everyone is quite and most...

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Midtown. The staff were welcoming and helpful. The room itself was clean. The location of the hotel was also very convenient exploring the city.

Our stay in the Midtown was fine. We were a bit worried since it was our first night in Cairo and considering that the surrounding city streets are dark and busy it was reassuring when we met Mahmoud the owner. Firstly, he reached out via Whatsapp to ensure we’d a taxi or tours, we’d already prebooked these but he was the only hotel owner who was upfront and straight with no hassle on the tours....

Honest review. The location is great, close by to everything. Clean and beautiful rooms but if you stay here, you are on your own. Expect zero service from the hotel whether it is check in on time, early breakfast request (specially if you requested it a day prior and they agreed still you won't get) , help with luggage (even if 3 ppl are looking at you struggling with luggage, no help) , room services...

Best ever hostel the place is clean and safe the staff is helpful and big thanks for Moh Gentleman and helpful person🥰🥰This is the second time I have come to stay also Midtown good place for solo or friends and couples I really recommended for any one who’s to stay in Cairo

The room is very good. It is very spacious, has a closet, refrigerator, air conditioning and a small balcony. The entrance to the hostel is surprising because it is very old and not maintained at all. We walked up and on some flights of stairs there was even garbage. As for the staff, they were very friendly and helped us with everything, Rafiki was always willing to help via Instagram, although it...

Small hotels in the 70s and 80s in China
