I did not feel safe staying here as a solo female traveler. It is worth more $ to stay at an established international hotel, take my word for it.

On the whole positive with a caveat. I had booked what was billed as a "deluxe" single room - in part based on some of the photos. When I got there, the concept of deluxe was somewhat missing .... the room was small, its window opened to a rubbish filled inner courtyard and the shower was integrated into the bathroom/toilet.... that's the negative. But considering the price, the location and the fact that these sorts of things don't bother me all that much, it was actually good. On one of the days I was there, I was asked to pack my bags because they needed to do some work on my room and I was promised a nicer room - but because I was out all day, I got put back in the old room and I wasn't impressed. And I mentioned it - so for the last night I got put into a huge, lovely room with way more room and a separate sitting/lounge room. And then for the last night in Cairo (after going around Egypt for a bit) I came back and, having written to Marco, the owner/manager, I ended up in yet another lovely room with a view over the main street and plenty of room. Breakfast could be booked in addition and turned up punctually except for one day - but that was once only. I'm left with the sense that the owner really does care about the satisfaction of the guests, that where possible you get nicer rooms but that things are a little ad hoc. If you are coming here, think about spending the extra money for a "double" room simply for the additional space. Overall I would recommend staying

Very friendly and helpful personal, in the heart of cairo!

The property is well located with plenty of shops around and only a short walk to the Egyptian museum. However the area is extremely chaotic and loud so it may not be the best pick if you are looking for a quiet and relaxing spot. Staff is friendly but not all speak English which can be impractical. The tours organised were pricey and didn't meet the expectations. I'd definitely encourage travellers to look elsewhere for those.

The hotel was good. Not a luxury hotel, but you get what you pay for. Also the staff was accommodating when I had problems. But never take their tours! My guide insisted on giving her tips and kept asking me if I needed to withdraw money from an ATM for her tips. When I was at the ATM, I felt so insecure because she was standing behind me and clearly looking at my credit card numbers - she even jokingly said "I can see your numbers" and "can I have your card, please". Her English was mediocre and she barely answered my questions. The souvenir shops they took me to were sketchy. My complaints about the tour go on, but overall the tour was so unpleasant that I doubt I'll ever visit Cairo again. So this hotel is only great if you just need a place to sleep in downtown Cairo for some reason. But if you need a guide, take it elsewhere!

Unprofessional folks that works there. Nothing is organized. Didn’t receive the room that I had reservations for or paid for!

Very good location, nice staff

Property is central, walkable. The hotel is very old, a little decrepit. First night the room was not clean. Bathroom very old but clean. kitchen very small. Paiement with bank machine was not possible.

This hotel is very centrally located a short walk from Tahrir square and the Egyptian museum. It's in a funky little neighborhood with a shopping distruct on one side and very local area on the other side with little restaurants and businesses on the side streets. It's 1 floor up in an old building with a fantastically antique elevator that is worth staying here just to see.. The rooms are clean and comfortable.. showers are clean and there's lots of water pressure and hot water. Most importantly the Manager Marco is fantastic and can do anything for you. He'll arrange airport shuttle's and day trips if you want them... and he's very hospitable. For the money, it's one of the best places I've stayed at in Egypt and I would highly recommend it. Don't expect the Hilton but for this price category it is great. Make sure you sit out on the patio with all the parakeets and listen to them chirp and sing and have a cup of coffee. Be advised that, like all older central Cairo hotels, the rooms on the street side (with balconies you can go out on) can be noisy with street activity. Ask for an interior room if you want a quiet room.

great stay for the money

The property was very clean and comfortable. The owner communicated with me from the moment I booked, and assisted with arranging transfer from the airport. The location is in a strategic area, very close to Tahrir square.

What a fantastic place to stay in Cairo. The staff is exceptional and the rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. You have to stay here when you come to Cairo!!!!

Great location, walking distance to lots of great spots. What makes this hotel great is the staff - they treat you like family! Thank you Fady, Omar and Amir for having me!

The staff was amazing!! Everybody was so friendly and helpful. The place is very clean, well located and the room are very nice. This place is 10/10, if you visit Cairo, book this Hostel you won't regret it, quality and price unbeatable!

Totally recommend.I found the staff r helpful and will answer all the questions u have(thanks Marta for the recommendations) . If I visit Cairo again then definitely gonna stay here again.

I have great couple of days in this hostel with my wife we both love everything specially the staff are very helpful and friendly. The have the best customer service in Middle East in my opinion. I definitely will book again to stay in this hotel. Thank you everyone in hostgram without mentioning names.

Great comfortable hotel close to Egyptian museum and metro station. Friend staff - John, Andrew, and Niven are all very helpful and nice. Lots of local shisha cafe close by. Breakfast is also very good.

Had a great stay here. The room was better than we expected and nice staff. Highly recommended.

This hostel (it is basically a hotel) is ideally located just a three minute walk from Tahir Square (Central Cairo). The manager did not try to sell me or my wife a single thing during our entire stay (unusual for Egypt). In fact he just kept offering us free things (food tea etc). I would highly recommend this hostel for anyone from the UK or Europe. I have been to Egypt many times and I must say I never felt so relaxed anywhere here before including 5 star hotels. The rooms are spacious and clean, the showers have nice hot water, the WiFi is easily fast enough to stream a movie on my iPad (again I have not found this to be the case even in five star hotels). The rooms have a fridge and satellite tv (Mainly Arab TV but fine for sports or music). I would reccomend the triple room with balcony view. The price is great and you will have plenty of space plus a seating area. When you first enter the front of the main building you may be unsure as it is not decorated or cleaned to the same standard as the Hostel (which is located on the first floor). However once you enter the hostel you will be treated to shining white marble floors and freshly painted and decorated walls with trendy art ETC. To summarise If you are looking for a safe place to stay, that is clean and has respectful staff this is the place for you. I cannot reccomend it enough. This hostel is family run so all the staff are very decent and you will know where you stand with them. Best regards Robert.

Great service and helpful staff.

As it was my first time in Egypt, I have been really happy especially in Hostgram, the people were very hospitable and I really enjoyed staying there. The place was bright and amazing, my room was spacious enough for me. I really felt like I’m at home, the balcony was very interesting I could get my drink and enjoy view of downtown. The staff specifically was very kind to me especially Soher, she cooked me a delicious Egyptian breakfast at the morning

The staffs there are very nice and helpful. The location is also center of the city, which might give you a problem if you are light sleeper. Hotel can arrange a tour for you, too, but be aware that it's not really a tour but just a chartered car. So if you need a proper guide of the places, you need to sign up for a guided tour. I can still recommend to book through them. Their driver was polite and professional, and the price is reasonable. Overall, it was a nice stay thanks to friendly staffs, with good cost performance.

Super dishonest business practice makes this hotel one to avoid. But first, let’s start with the pros: I t’s located close to the museum and downtown, room and bathroom are quite clean, staffs _appears_ friendly. Now for the cons. The shady business practice cheating on guests is not like anything we’ve seen in Egypt. If you’re familiar with the constant hustlers, scammers, and people taking advantage of you in Egypt, this hotel takes it to a whole another level. Hotels are meant to be a place for where we can trust while we explore the city, but Hostagram cheated us on selling us a super expensive tour, only to not have lived up to the expectations. Things promised to us were “extra”, and the transportation was throwing us on the local bus and having to figure out where and how to go to the destination ourselves. We were promised someone would pick us up at the destination but that didn’t happen, and on our way back, the “bus” that was suppose to drive us back never came and we had to find our own way back. The worst part is, when we found out how much Hostgram paid the “tour guide” that provided us the tour, it was less than 1/3rd of what we paid! And all the promised included Itinerary were “extra” defeating the purpose of the whole idea of “tour”. Charging us 3x the price of what was a self directed trip, is unfounded. I would strongly suggest staying at other options because these people are only there to scam you, not to help you. Avoid at all costs!

Very nice place, clean and the staff is friendly :)

Pros: Location is great, and hostel is easy to find Rooms are spacious as is bathroom Water is hot and shower pressure is good Included breakfast was nice Cons: It’s a walk up building, which was fine for us, but should be noted for travelers who are unable to go up two flights of stairs to get to the lobby. Cleanliness of the room left something to be desired. Dingy rug, random hairs in the beds, dirty floors... Overall an okay stay, but they should either drop their price point a bit or clean more thoroughly.

Staff is soooo helpful. Rooms are close to the road so properly noisy. Location overall is great though.

it was very convenient, awesome location with almost everything around and only few meters to the museum. Rooms were really big.
