“Absolutely recommended”
The hostel is very nice, clean and has a friendly and kind staff. I booked the double room with private bathroom for me and my sister and it was spacious. The bathroom is tiny and has a falling-on-the-floor shower, yes, but guys: this is absolutely common in many Countries in there world, and it doesn't mean you are going to experience any discomfort. Infacts it was clean and with warm water, which is everything really needed. We used the common kitchen to prepare our breakfast and warm up street food (we travelled during Ramadan, so we bought three nights before, for the following lunch), which was perfectly functioning, clean and equipped. We stayed for 4 days and it was perfect: quiet, friendly and smooth. Hope we will visit again.

“Thank you”
The walls of my room were thin. I heard everything from outside but I stayed one night only, so I didn't care. Room was clean. Low price.

The place was located in a good area, close to the museum and the market. There was a kitchen that could be used to make coffee, food, fridge was available as well. The room was good size and the balcony was a nice addition. Aircon was working well and there was hot water. The staff at the reception were very nice and helpful too.

Great hotel in the center for a good price, very clean and cozy, kind and friendly staff. I took one ball only because of the noise on the street. Windows without soundproofing and quiet at night central avenue

“Exceptional value for money, recommend the hostel and will visit again”
The room was very comfortable, tidy and spacious what surpassed my expectations for the hostel. It also had a balcony which was a nice surprise for me. Location is wonderful, the hostel is in the city centre and the subway station is nearby. There is a typical Egyptian 'food store' at the other side of the street which also is great. And hosts are always ready to help you, you will always find someone in the hostel. Apart from that they just warm and kind people, great service. Another advantage is that, without counting the noise coming from outside, the hostel itself is very quiet, you feel that you can rest there.

The personal, only one speaks proper English, but all of them were quite nice. The room was adequate, comfortable and clean, the kitchen, though small, well equipped. Something really important in Cairo, the room window close well, and you can sleep without hearing the noises of the street (that is quite a deal)
