The room was in front of the reception, so noise from the reception was inside the room even during the night. Staff were friendly and helpful. The bathroom is separated by walls, not ceiling, from the room, with poor ventilation.

Não vale a pena
Fiquei neste hotel assim que cheguei no Cairo, o cafe da manhã nao consegui usar pois ele é apenas as 11h, a localizaçao é terrivel, dificil de achar onde fica e a rua muito barulhenta, as camas eram boas, mas o banheiro era uma tragédia, tinha que tomar banho praticamente sobre a privada.

Puede mejorar mucho
Queda en un sexto piso de un edificio sucio, el personal no es amable ni servicial, el aseo es nulo, habitación con vista a la calle, si tienen problema para dormir con ruido les será muy difícil en este lugar

The room doesnt look like the pictures.
We booker a private tour in the desert. Once we got there, they Saïd its a shared tour, we paid for private but got paired with other people in a small car. We tried to call Minerva they said it’s a misunderstanding they were meaning share tour and private tent at the camping spot. But we know we were clear about our request.

Minerva down town hostel it’s a great property nice breakfast good WiFi , mamdoh w Remon w yousefff just great good staff if you need anything you can ask them they will make your stay safe and quiet facilities helpful. If you want to go some where ask Mamdouh about a Uber car he is professional remon and yousef they smiling and friendly and waiting just the moment when they can helping you. And except that guy who work after 00:00 he is not friendly or respectable never he would help you or smile on your face is like a prison guardian, in the beginning I want to write a bad review but everything was okay good except this guy and for me no problem because if he don’t like his work it’s his problem and I hope the owner discuss with him if he have some problem. Thanks guys🙏 I absolutely recommend it and I will comeback soon😇

Boa regiao mas como tudo no Cairo assusta um pouco
Tínhamos algumas horas antes da saída do nosso voo de volta e queríamos um lugar para deixar as malas e tomar um banho. O hotel fica quase na esquina de uma rua com muito comércio. Mac Donalds, varios restaurantes e lojas de roupas e sapatos. Hotel fica no 6 andar de um predio. Meio difícil de achar. Não dormimos lá e não tomamos café da manhã. Também não tomamos banho mas no banheiro alguém tinha esquecido uma cueca. Minha esposa nem quis sentar na cama. Internet ok.

Vistelse i en dålig hotell
Enligt detta hotell så börjar dagen efter kl.12och eftersom vi kom fram ca kl. 03 så fick vi betala en extra avgift för de timmarna innan kl.12?!
Det var äckligt smutsigt i badrummet och just i toaletten, och när jag tog upp detta fick inget hjälp så jag fick städa toan själv!
Det skulle ingå frukost i priset när jag bokade och detta frukost var så lite och serverades så sent som kl. 10 eller tidigast kl. 9 beroende på vilken/vem av personalen som arbetade! Det hjälpte inte heller när jag sa till att vi skulle i väg och behöver äta innan vi skulle åka.
Jag hade betalat hotellet från dag 1 när jag kom fram, men innan vi skulle lämna hotellet så säger receptionisten att en extra avgift kan förekomma eftersom han har räknat fel!

Rezeption nicht anwesend
Trotz angeblicher 24h - Rezeption, war niemand da und das Hotel bei anreise verschlossen!
Geld zurück wird auch abgewiesen, da anscheinend die Aussage, dass jemand ANwesend war reicht.
Bitte nicht buchen
