    There is no nearby car parking - The furniture is old needs to be renovated - The lobby is somehow small in size - The hotel may not be suitable to big families and more suitable to fiends, newly married and couples

    The location is really premium, very close to Tahrir Square and to both the Bus and Metro stations - The staff is very friendly and helpful - The price is very reasonable as it provides high value for money - The view from the room is amazing as you can see the Nile - The -surrounding area is full of all kinds of restaurants, coffee shops, gift shops and supermarkets - The breakfast is good intercontinental ,

    the edge of the beds are very sharp and my legs were bruises twice during the stay. Even though the staff helped us find a room away from the main street. It is still very loud with dogs barking all the time, and 4am prayer speaker is very very loud! My roommate was unable to sleep for the first night.

    Staff all friendly. Helped me find local restaurants, setting up taxi apps, do laundry, etc. Location is good, near the Egypt museum. Easy to get to shops and pharmacy nearby. Room is ok. Quite big, bathroom reasonable. Breakfast is nice, they even helped us pack when we have to leave early.

    it was a bit scary the inside of the building and the elevator is getting stuck sometimes. it could have been better in terms of cleaning the rooms regularly, and communication of the staff there.

    very nice view, comfortable atmosphere, and enjoying breakfast...

    I feel sad that i just discovered this hostel, after 5 times in cairo ..

    In Egypt, either you choose a good view with an authentic place in the center of the old town nor don't feel the real Cairo !! This hostel has a fantastic location with a landscape view of the city and it was clean, simple with a great team!

    Bathtub needs rennovation badly. The noise of traffic from outside. If you travel on a budget it is still good value for money with the location/view.

    Location to visit the museum and have many restaurants in 5 min walk. Comfortable room and nice view. Staff is nice and breakfast was ok for the price.

    Hotel needs to change matreses and do few essential repair for doors' keys .

    The staff were family not just employers , very helpful and friendly. Room was spacious, good air-conditioning, but mattresses were bad , so soft specially for people with back pain . Breakfast was little and so basic. Drinks were for free ; tea and different herbal tea I mean . View was great from the 16th floor . I loved our stay there in general, and would love to go back (but just change matreses 😅) Thank you so much for the love and care we had that week ❤️

    Room's AC is not on for my 2 nights stay, thus windows are opened for airflow for 10 pax and with sandstorm in Cairo it's powder dust everywhere, springy mattress didn't help too.

    Amazing view of Cairo City from level 15! A view of Nile River from corner couch while having breakfast, breathless! Staff is really nice and friendly, very clean area and the bathroom is with hot shower, good WiFi signal and laundry clip-lines that dries up laundries in half day!

    Have to climb one flight of stairs with luggage from 15th floor to 16th floor because lift only goes up to 15th floor. Poor outside signage to find the place. Knowing this, the hostel should at least offer help to the elevator on the 15th floor. During check in (late at night) the receptionist (Mustafa) helped with the luggage. But during check out, two young receptionists just watched my wife and I carry our bags down the stairs. I’m not sure if it is their duty, but was not curtious. Overall, good stop over

    Good location Reasonably priced

    The mattress I was sleeping in the first night had a very bad stink to it (I'd recommend them to clean or replace it), but the let me switch beds for the second night. The breakfast was pretty basic, just bread and jam/spreadable cheese. Other guests in the room were very noisy, but I guess that's not the hostel's fault.

    The hostel is in pretty well located and in a good area, with lots of restaurants and cafés nearby. In general the facilities were pretty clean.
