What a pleasant hotel!The two main advantages of this hotel are the staff and the location. After a long day you feel that you are coming home. The hotel is clean and quiet, the staff is very friendly and helpful. The beds are comfortable The rooms are clean and there's free Wifi. The breakfast is great I booked the hotel after reading trip advisor, and I'm glad that I did.

Great choice of hostel if you're looking to spend some good time in the city, as it is located in the Islamic Quarter where there are many interesting things to see. Only downside is if you're short on time it's a little away from downtown so there is not much to see at night (after you've been to the khan Khalili bazaar) and is not near a metro stop (a good but limited way of getting around given how few areas it serves). The hotel is decent for what you are paying and plenty of info from staff

It has been a long time since I have experience such a high level of hospitality. near downtown only few min if u gonna take taxi,calm area,healthy breakfast containing fruit,very helpful staff they handled every small concern on the spot on order to ensure my satisfaction. The accommodations are excellent and if I needed anything, the front desk had it in my room within minutes., . All around great accommodations. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others.

Great hostel and the staff are awesome and very helpful. Room are clean and beds are comfy. Breakfast is great and a good way to start the day. Love the area this place is located as it it away from the hustle and bustle so you can really enjoy your surroundings. The roof top deck is an awesome place to enjoy breakfast. They also helped organise my travel to Aswan and Luxor. I recommend to all!

Our stay at Arabian Nights was truely excellent from start to finish. I really could not fault any part of the experience. The staff especially were friendly and extremely helpful with all the questions we had regarding the local area and Cairo in general as well as helping us practise our rusty Arabic. The bathroom facities were also very good with a powerful shower and we both looked forward to our included breakfast every morning. I would recommend the hostel to anyone coming to Cairo.

I wasn't sure what to expect when we got there, but the rooms, although basic, were clean and the staff were friendly and the location was awesome! Definitely a good choice if you're looking for a place to stay that is close to everything without wanting to spend too much money.

prices were good. This was not just a hostel, it was a home away from home. I could not have been looked after better. I couldn't recommend it more highly. A little out of the center"15 Min" but it is OK . Exceptional value.

The place is decent and well located. Staff is nice and trustworthy. Though, stay away from their tour operator, managed by this guy called Mohammed. He seems nice but tried to cheat us of money for the smallest of things. And quotes Really high for the tours. You are better off planning yourself.
