I spent 3 nights at Champollion Hostel in June 2023, and I was delighted by my stay there. The rooms are clean, modern and well equiped. The staff is very kind, friendly, comprehensive and responsive. The location is very central, at a few steps from the famous Cairo Museum. In other words : it was a perfect stay in a delightful Hostel. Many thanks to the staff!! Edgar

So many pros: The private hostel room I stayed in has a clean, spacious room with an attached bathroom. The bed was comfortable and large enough for two. The hosts speak English well and are very hospitable people too. THE BEST PART is the hostel is just a min walk from Tahrir Square and the Egyptian museum, and I don't think there is any other place with such comfortable rooms available in this price range in this locality.

One of the best accommodations I’ve ever stayed in. Everything was super clean and room utterly equipped and spacious. Location is perfect and, as it is in a 7th floor, quite quiet. Not to mention the warm welcome. Thank you very much for everything and… Don’t forget me because I’m gonna be back!!!!

Great location and wonderful staff. Would highly recommend and come again. The owner showed us the new rooms he is currently renovating and these will be even more amazing. Thanks for having us!

An unforgettably beautiful stay The atmosphere at Champollion Hostel is overwhelmingly friendly and loving. The facility is treated with care. If we had problems, the team took the time to give us explanations or to find solutions. We really enjoyed the generous hospitality. The breakfast leaves nothing to be desired. Although we had a lot of luggage, the family room was big enough for four. There is a large, stylishly furnished common room in which we felt very comfortable. The Champollion Hostel team has many surprising ideas to make its guests happy. The team is available 24 hours a day. The service also includes the opportunity to get drinking water or hot drinks free of charge. There is air conditioning in the room and enough windows to be able to ventilate. The hostel is very close to Midan Tahrir. Despite its central location, the hostel is surprisingly quiet. Restful nights are guaranteed. In our opinion, there is no nicer place to live downtown. The Champollion Hostel team made our stay special. If we come to Cairo in the future, Champollion Hostel will be our 1st choice.

+ The room was clean and good. The staff was lovely. There is free tea, they really make it feel like home. There is also breakfast and they are flexible on the time if you need to leave early - we had no hot water during our stay and the elevator broke down (the hostel is on the 6th floor)

Really impressed with this hostel. We stayed in a combination of 4*, 3*, Nile Cruise and hostel during our trip to Egypt and this was the best. Location: just 5 minute walk from the Cairo museum and Tahrir Square. 10-15 min drive to Ramses train station and 45 hours to airport, depending on traffic of course. It is on a ‘quieter’ part of this area (relatively speaking of course… if you want total silence and peace then Cairo is not the right place for you…). The hostel is located in the top floor of a building, you need to take the lift to the 6th floor and walk up a short flight to the 7th. Lovely breeze up here and a nice view of the neighbourhood. Check in was really prompt, and the receptionist was super friendly and helpful. Room: very clean and had everything we needed. Free wifi, lots of power points (including one that fits all worldwide plugs), plenty of places to hang clothes, air conditioning. As mentioned, this is Cairo, so lots of noise outside and there is of course no double or triple glazing, but the noise is pretty much constant so it didn’t trouble our sleep anyway as we got used to it so we did not mind. But other people who are more sensitive may need to consider somewhere else with soundproofing which I imagine only a 5* place like the Hilton or Ritz Carlton can offer. Bathroom/Toilet: was also very clean. Bath towel provided and shower gel (but I am not sure if it is also a shampoo). Really excellent water pressure with rainforest shower too. The only downsides of the toilet are 1) the shower curtain is not long enough so when you shower the floor outside the shower area can get wet 2) the walls of the toilet don’t reach the ceiling so it’s not completely closed, a bit embarrassing when using the toilet and sharing a room with someone else 😅 (we had a private twin bed room). Breakfast: simple but adequate to start your day. Coffee tea, bread, yogurt, honey, fried egg. Wifi speed is decent, no problems. Laundry cost about 5 EGP per piece, we sent ours at 9am and got it back before dinner time. Definitely recommend this place and hope that the owners continue to maintain the current cleanliness and standards so that it can be enjoyed by many guests for years to come :)

We stayed 3 nights and had an enjoyable stay. The staff were very friendly and nothing was too hard for them. The owners treated us as their own family. My wife and son want to say thank you for the hospitality received. Albert Anandaraj

Wonderful place to stay. All the staff are great, friendly and helpful, everything is very clean, the beds very comfortable and the common area a pleasant place to sit and read or chat with other guests. Someone mentioned in their review that they found it noisy but that was certainly not our experience. The hostel is on the 7th floor so road noise is not an issue and we heard absolutely no noise whatsoever from within the building or neighbouring buildings. The surrounding area in general is quiet and safe. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this hostel.

The rooms are very nice and super clean. The place has amazing vibes that makes you wanna stay more. For the people, they are so welcoming and helpful. It also has a great location which is in the heart of the city. I would definitely recommend it for everyone.

Great experience at Champollion hostel during our two-night stay in Cairo: the staff were super nice and helpful (one of the guys even lent us a SIM card for a day until we could buy one!), the room was comfortable and everything was very clean. Would definitely come back!

It's really fabulous place so cozy The stuff really friendly they helped me so much The rooms so comfortable and pretty new and net Everything is clean everyone smiling all the time

This is the best hostel I have ever seen. Exceeded all the expectations. The hosts are fabulous. The premise is outstanding. Highly recommended.

Location is great. The noise is unbearable. Place is clean and modern but not good spot for meeting people. Lots of families staying there.

Very central and convenient location, very good value and super helpful and friendly hosts. The hostel is located on the top floor. You need to take the elevator to the 6th floor and walk up a few stairs to reach the entrance.

conveniently located in the heart of Cairo with close proximity to Al Tahrir square( midan) and Talat Harb square (midan). rooms are very clean and well ventilated with plenty of breeze from a good size window overlooking the skyline. the staff is very friendly and welcoming.

Champollion is a clean hostel with nice, new amenities. Every room has its own shower/sink/toilet with great pressure and reliable heat. The staff is very friendly and they make a lovely breakfast that usually involves coffee, yogurt, egg, and maybe some cucumber. Laundry service is available. Common area for meals and lounge. For a small hostel in the middle of downtown Cairo, this is one of the best to be found. (I’ve heard about the others!) 1 block from Tahrir Square, 1 block from museum, 1 block from Metro, only 5-10 minutes from Zamalek. If you are new to Cairo, downtown near Tahrir is very busy, but just a few blocks in any direction you’ll find a variety of cafes, restaurants, and street food options. I felt very safe and welcomed here, and I will consider Champollion again!

Absolutely exceptional place, would highly recommend to anyone coming to Cairo. Location was incredible and the rooms were extremely clean. The best part however was the hospitality and friendliness of the staff. We had several unique requests which they were able to meet no questions asked. They even had a big screen showing the world cup games in the lobby.
