    You pay for what you get. Bedsheets are not changed, and are stained. Although there are no bed bugs I found it really unhygienic. The room smells sour and has a bad stench to it. The common area outside the hostel feels a lot fresher. It is located centrally and very convenient to go almost anywhere in Egypt, but the living conditions are atrocious. If you are able to put up for one to two nights here, any other hostels in the world would be livable to you. Most people living in this hostel are really friendly, although their hygiene standards are questionable as some of them wear the same clothes for a few days at a time. Toilets here are also not washed and are stained throughout. Elevator does not work either. You have to climb up six stories. Ground floor being level zero, while the hostel is located at level 5.

    The overall experience was bad.. I paid the hotel fees via the Agoda app and when I went to check-in at the hotel, the hotel reception guy told me that the payment was not done and asked me to cancel the reservation and pay offline at the hotel which I refused.. Also the customer care team talked to the Hotel people and even shared the payment certificate but the Hotel people rejected my stay and after a continuous argument between me, the customer service and hotel people, I got my room after 2-3 hours waiting in the lobby.. There is no lift to the Hotel, which is on the 7th floor.. The rooms are very old and in bad condition .. Rooms don't get locked unless you locked with the key.. Breakfast is not provided though they have mentioned "breakfast included in the apps".. Bathrooms are not good and not clean.. This place is good only when you are bankrupt and no money except 100 EGP.

    I made a reservation at the place several days before I came, when I arrived, they told me that the hotel is complete, even though the reservation was valid, and I sent a message to the hotel that I was coming hours before my arrival date, but they did not read it. My reservation was for a single room, but I had to book a bed in a room with 6 people due to the lack of time, as the receptionist did not do anything to please me. As for the room in which I stayed, it had a window open all night, and it was not air-conditioned as described, and the sound of the fan was very loud and the air was intense, and the bed pillow It was poor, and the street noises were very loud at night, and there was no soap in the bathroom, not to mention that the hotel was on the fifth floor with no elevator. I would never recommend this place, and I would never stay there again, even if it was the cheapest.

    I booked a room from agoda and paid it. And when i went there the room wasn’t reserved and they refered me to another place saying that they have a place for me there and I didn’t. The other place was also complete and they were not contacted by anyone from safari. It was 2 am and i still don’t have a place to sleep and will sleep in the car because of them. Oh and they stopped responding after that. Will contact my bank to get a refund. Don’t ever consider this place unless u plan on going through all this and end up on the street.

    Don't let the price fool you, avoid this hotel. I've booked a single room for two nights. My room was next to the only bathroom/toilet. The room wasn't clean and blanket doesn't have sheets. Mosquitos ate my alive every night. I had so many bites that I also suspect the bed to contain bed bugs. There is a fan in the room at least. The only bathroom/toilet is a very tiny room shared by everyone. Not clean, the shower is litteraly showing the toilet when activated. No paper and no hot water. People are making noises all the nights, and it doesn't seems to bother the staff. The staff barely speaks English also. Wi-Fi is weak and very instable. So even if the attractive price obviously means lack of confort, this youth hostel will simply ruins your night and make your tired for the next days, not the best to visit this already exhausting city.

    It's on the top floor which means you need to be fit a little bit because there's no lift in the building. The location is very nice, surrounded by all kinds of shops. In the heart of the city

    It's cheap but it doesn't work even 1$. It is very dirty. I went there and they didn't answer the phone they didn't accept me because of my bicycle and the stuff are not kind. Find something else

    No elevator and the place is in the fifth floor. The room was unclean and looked liked a storage place not a room The sink was very dirty and the sharing bath room was tiny There is no ACs , and smoking is allowed indoor which is very annoying You can feel no safety there

    In general it was a very unpleasant experience, unorganized, very unhealthy since they are allowing residents to smook inside the hostel (shared room), and the receptionists are very biased to a certain group.

    We did reservation by booking, but after arriving to the hostel boy from reception told us, that they don't have available room for us... That is normal practice in Cairo.

    Unlike the name, this place is actually a hostel with super cool hosts. It is pretty hard to find the place because it is on the fifth floor of building whose entrance is camouflaged with local vendors in a bustling street (we had arrived after midnight). Also, there is no lift. So the weary travelers have to climb five floors on foot. The place is pretty decent with dormitories as well as single rooms available.

    (1) Watch this video to find it, it is not easy to find. (2) more shower rooms behind the reception desk.

    The place is horrible, the treatment is so bad and unprofessional at all! I don't recommend anyone this place, don't want you to go through what I went through, especially girls They refuse Egyptian girls staying there if they're alone! The place is just creepy!

    In my opinion, the reception is a smug liar. No aircon. Three stars

  • 2/5 Ahmed H. 2 years ago on Google
    I have reserved it from Agoda at 60 egp per night my reservation was not obvious to the owner so he almost rejected it but then he accepted the reservation and in general it's suitable hostle for the money paid and low budget traveller but it's little bit local and slum.

  • 4/5 Chen C. 4 years ago on Google
    Great location and cleanliness. Hostel offers all I need, such as kitchen, relax lounge, and free tea. Although location is on the top of the building and bit hard to find it, it's not a problem cause I like exercise.

  • 5/5 Amr A. 2 years ago on Google
    The staff are very kind , welcoming and friendly. It was pleasant to stay there and the small lobby was a nice place to stay in and know other visitors in the hotel i had really good time staying there. Hope you like it like i did.

    Not bad place with a good service and they offer free wifi .....the problem is the high floor. Good for those who like the ancient buildings ... And like this vibes.
