Staff was nice but building was really old, it looked like a jail or like in horror movies. Really old. Plus they were located on 4th floor and elevator doesn't work on the floor of 4th. Shower room smelled so bad and not hot water even. Decided not to shower or use the restroom

博物館からすぐ近く。その分周りも賑やかです。 シングルルームのシャワーブースはかなり狭い。 荷物も預かってくれるし、基本的にはスタッフは親戚です。 朝ごはんが出てるのが遅い。1度頼んで、もう1度頼んでから出てくる。パンとゆで卵の朝ごはんが出てくるまで15分。

ロケーションが良い

市街地のど真ん中にあって、便利なロケーション。エジプト博物館が目の前。メトロの駅も、ナイル川も、徒歩圏内にある。 予想していたよりも清潔で、シャワーのお湯は十分に熱かった。wi-fiも快適。 ただ、朝食の提供方法がよく分からなかった。朝、ソファのエリアに来るように言われたが、いつ行っても暗く、結局一度も食べられなかった。パンでも出ていたのだろうか？

The worst hotel I've ever seen

Tive a minha pior experiência em hospedagens, neste hotel. O hotel fica num predio horrivel, com uma entrada horrível. A recepcionista nao fala nada de inglês e nao soube me explicar que eles nao tinha quatro privado disponível apesar deu ter reservado e pago um quarto privado. O hotel é super pequeno a recepção fica no meio dos quartos o que significa que qualquer ida ao banheiro você vai ter que passar pela recepcionista. O banheiro era horrível, eram dois, em um a descarga funcionava mas nao tinha papel, no outro tinha papel mas a descarga não funcionava, ainda tinha vazamento de água e o chão ficava o tempo todo molhado e conforme as pessoas iam pisando ficava aquela sujeira, nojento ! A cama era dura e rangia, o chao era de madeira e fazia bastante barulho também, era impossível entrar e sair do quarto sem fazer barulho. Eles ficaram de me devolver a diferença do que paguei, mas depois disseram que iriam conseguir o quarto privativo, nao fizeram nem uma coisa nem outra. No fim, dormi uma noite e quando acordei tudo que eu queria era ir embora dali o mais rápido possível. Não voltaria nem de graça !

Brothel

Did not even stay there. The place was filthy in the middle of a dark alley in the ghettos of Cairo. Shoddy creepy building with a broken fridge as a lift, which we didn't dare use. Soon as we got there, we left and went to Raddison. Avoid. Place looked like a brothel from the movie Taken

WARNING: DO. NOT. STAY. HERE!!!!

Where do I even begin. This was one of the worst accommodation experiences I have ever had. The hotel experience started out fine. We checked in and Mamoud offered us a (seemingly) great deal - $45 USD per person to be taken around for two days to the pyramids, city tour and a dinner cruise. It sounded fantastic, but after the first day of being driven to the Pyramids, with no options except one particular camel/ horse guide shop. ALSO our "guide", and incredibly sweet man, spoke next to no English, so it actually wasn't a "guide" so much a private chauffeur. For what we paid we could have gotten the same service from Uber and saved a ton of money. Next, our toiletries that we had set in the bathroom were stolen by the maid- the bathroom by-the-way, had the sorriest excuse for a shower - a tiny tile basin, no shower curtain and a spray head. We were livid because we are traveling for six weeks and this is our lifeline to having some sanity in the ability to "get clean" after a dirty, dusty day exploring. Mamoud handled It terribly, he basically laughed at our anger and did nothing to rectify the situation. He also made the excuse that she "threw it out". Also, there was a mouse in the room and it chewed through one of our bags and some clothing. No communication was given about breakfast, which was supposed to be included but we did not receive all three days we stayed there. Understand that any service he offers is a scam/ waste of money. Do the research and find your own

Very crude but for the price I will not complain. It would have been nice to receive a towel.

Solo travel hostel experience

Very positive stay here. It's a nice little hostel with a charming little sunroom/common area. The location is right across the street from the Cairo Museum which can't be beat. They also arranged a city tour (Coptic, citadel, and museum) for me. Note that the tour does not come with a guide, rather it's a driver who takes you to the spots you want, when you want, and returns to pick you up when you decide. I also booked airport transfers. Every employee or driver was very nice. Definitely recommend staying here if you're looking for convenient location and help with getting around the city. Not a party hostel at all when I was there which suited my needs.

交通方便

待改進: 1.早餐規定8:30以後供應，很難配合行程，沒有去要不主動提供，8:30去要，準備好已九點。 2.老建築，附近好破舊。房間兩個晚上發生老鼠出沒，抓東西嘎嘎叫，驚醒後一夜難眠。 3.門鎖很難開關，都要勞架櫃檯來幫忙。 4.枕巾留著前客人的毛髮在上面，要求就會更換。 優點: 1.公共區及衛浴很乾淨。 2.室內設施簡單，但夠用。 3.wifi訊號強，很好用。 4.有個小陽台臺。 5.市中心交通方便。 ----去吉薩搭捷運轉大巴，單程車資三埃鎊。 ----去路克索，附近有大巴，110埃鎊， 一天一班車。 ----去尼羅河岸、羅德島埃及塔，步行十15 分，去博物館五分鐘。

ok for the price i guess

The check in was a little interesting. The owner, Muhammed was a bit pushy and not very accommodating. We rented a room for two nights even though we only needed one because our flight was leaving late the next night. Upon arrival I was informed I had to spend the first night at a room in the hotel upstairs. I asked if there was anyway we could stay two nights in one room, regardless of which room or hotel we stayed at. He said not to worry to just go to sleep and come back in the morning that I could bring all my belongings to the front and he could take them to my room. This was a bit strange as we were in a foreign country and someone was telling us what to do with our travel arrangements. We had to end up splitting our one day in Cairo in pieces so we could accommodate the check in at the other room. Breakfast was ok....no milk for coffee....kind of weird. The bathroom flooded and smelled... the hotel is hard to find as it is in the middle of an alley on the 4th floor of a building.

Pequeño hotel excelentemente localizado

Su ubicación junto al Museo Egipcio lo hace perfecto para disfrutar de El Cairo. Hay varios tipos de habitaciones, Nosotros elegimos la doble con baño y era cómoda, amplia y limpia. La ducha es pequeñita y hay ir con cuidado porque el desagüe es lento y se encharca un poco. Buena señal de wifi Personal muy amable y dispuesto a ayudar en lo que sea

Booked a private room with bathroom. Arrived late to find no private room and was given a bed in mixed dorm already occupied by the opposite gender. As it was late, Ihad no choice, slept poorly and left as early as possible.

not fair at all

very bad experience. I arrived to check in and they told me the room I already paid was on maintenance, and just proposed me a dormitory room which I didn't accept.so I had to lose time to find another hotel..very very disappointed. But the worst of all is they didn't want to refund me (still asking for hotels.com to refund but they don't trust me). stay away of that hotel, trust me!!
