4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 April 2012

Great place. Tours are reasonably priced. Rooms go quickly. Make reservations. Very chill hippie place. People outside maybe loud at night but tolerable. Very cool to stay in a room on the roof of the 7th floor. Overlooks Cairo. Millions of cats to play with. Breakfast not great. Staff give helpful advice. Low pressure tour and other touting.

very difficult to fault, even neglecting the fact you are paying a paltry £4 a night. the staff are very friendly, and show a genuine concern for their guests' enjoyment of the city. they will give you straight answers and can usually help with whatever needs you have. the tours on offer are reasonably priced, and the hostel itself is...

For it's price and location, is a good hostel that I would recommend for backpackers honestly. This is a place where I met a new friend here. There is good WIFI here, and the rooms are simple nothing fancy. Just that there are a lot of stray cats outside the balcony. Otherwise I would rate is as 5 stars.

Remarkably well placed right in the centre of Cairo with an excellently friendly staff. Don't expect luxury (have you seen the price), but do expect genuine hospitality and functional accommodation. I'd initially only booked a couple of nights (just in case), but instantly booked all my other planned nights in Cairo here.

This is a nice hostel very close to Tahir Square, located in a strategic position of the city. The rooms are really small but clean. Most of the rooms have shared bathrooms whose cleanness depends on when you need them (if you go just after their cleaning - which I presume it's twice a day - it's ok, otherwise they... More

A rare find in Egypt - a proper backpacker hostel. In my opinion the best budget place in the whole of Egypt. Basic accommodation (what do you want on a budget?) but clean and really nice staff who are very helpful. Word of warning - don't rock up and expect to get a bed, book in advance. Nothing worse than... More
