I gave this property an excellent rating, since it provided what I expected for the price and location. Traffic noise was loud in the rooms adjacent to the street; however, this was expected and did not bother my wife and me. Suggest you request a room not by the street or look for another hotel, if you’re adverse to traffic noise. The room and bed were comfortable and clean. The hotel is located inside a building with other tenants. The entry is not pretty, but who cares? – not me. The staff was fantastic. They were very friendly and eager to have conversation and help us in any way possible. They arranged excellent private tours and transportation. We were served a simple, home style breakfast every day, prepared by the friendly receptionist on duty in the morning. This is not the Ritz Carlton, so for about $40 a night you should not expect what you’d get for $900 a night at the Ritz.

Arriving at the hostel, I found that they had not booked a room. The explanation they gave me was that they had stopped working with Expedia.They sent me to a neighboring hostel for one night telling me that the next day they would book their best room for us.But the room they gave us had nothing to do with that of the photos on Expedia. It was very small while the room I had booked was 30 square meters.Because I kept complaining about this situation, the next day they finally gave us another room, which was really like the one I had booked . The building as a whole is disgusting, the guards at the entrance of the building are scary and the cleanliness in the hostel is not very good. It is worth mentioning that the cleanliness everywhere in Cairo is at a much lower level than European hotels.However , I find the very good comments about the hostel too much and I think that they do not correspond to reality , with the exception of the receptionists , who are all very polite.
