    The 1st time was exactly what was shown in pictures. For 2nd time they confirmed triple beds but couldn't provide. But the room they provided had leaky showerhead, stagnant water in washroom, smaller space than the one we booked. However since they didn't have manpower for repair due to ramadan time we didn't even complain as that won't help either.

    We stayed here twice. First room was good with decent facilities and service. Breakfast was good on both times. People are nice. We couldn't get early check in 2nd time but they were ok with us waiting in the lobby area and had common washroom facilities.

    Initially they said the hotel is overbooked so they wanted to move us to a different property, which we strongly objected & denied. Then as a compensation they offered us private rooms as we had booked bunk beds. I appreciate if the hotel takes this as a note and avoid overbooking & sending guests to other properties.

    The property is centrally located. Walking distance from many tourist locations & many restaurants just around the corner. Its clean, comfortable & breakfast was excellent.

    The shower temperature was difficult to regulate.

    The hotel staff were absolutely great - always ready to help regardless of the time. They arranged excursions for me as well as airport transfers. The room was spacious and had a balcony, furniture was basic but nevertheless clean and comfortable. Breakfast was simple but delicious! WiFi was very strong. Location was absolutely fantastic. Keep in mind that the central location also means street noise. Good to know: reception is on the third floor, there is no sign below.

    Nice room, very central in Cairo, with lots around it. Nice balcony with a view of Cairo streets, but noisy until about midnight, quiet then until 7-8AM or so. I would stay here again.

    The toilet leaked and the shower head was on a weird angle. Room was quite small for four people.

    The staff were friendly and helpful booking us an Uber and keeping our luggage I. Storage for the day. It was pretty central to the things we wanted to see. Breakfast was a good size.

    everyone if you don't stay in this hostel, go into the room without passing reception, there was security cameras though.

    The location was nice, It was easy to get some food around there. there was a elevator. There were security cameras. I could use paypal, I had to pay 5% though

    The reception is located on the 3rd floor. I think it would be appropriate to include this information in the elevator to the button. It would have helped us.

    Good location in the centre of Cairo. The rooms are clean, the staff is kind and helpful. Breakfast is the same every day, but very good. I can definitely recommend this hostel.
