Museum Plaza Hostel in Cairo

Sharing my experience as a solo traveller so people can make their own conclusions before booking. CONS: I booked this through a booking platform but not able to leave a review there as it was through its partner deals. I booked a deluxe double with a balcony and more space than a single around 20 sq feet more - the photos on the platform was misleading. I believe was given what looks like the single room instead with no balcony per the photos of the single rooms on the booking platform. The room was really small so it's hard to place my luggage. The "double" room was very cramped and had a nasty smell that they covered with air freshener. I requested to change and asked about the room size. The receptionist explained they have many types of rooms and it's a double as the room contain a double bed but I don't buy it. I believe all their single rooms have double beds. My room was changed to a bigger room with two single beds (but still no balcony) next to the reception facing the museum which looked like the deluxe room in the photos. As I was wrapping up my trip, I did not want to ask further about the balcony or the room. There was double the noise: traffic noise from the street and also the noise from the reception from the kitchen, phone rings and people putting their phones on speaker at the reception - they were using the kitchen up til early mornings. The kettle in my room had black stuff in it so I didn't use it during my stay. PROS: Location is central at the main square, with the museum opposite. Kitchen lady was friendly. There's a takeaway place next to the hostel.
