Brothers Hostel Reviews

Everything is perfect.

This place was great. A home away from home. All the staff were amazing and very helpful. Helped me plan daily activites & organise Taxis and vehicles. A big thankyou to Sherif & Ehav . This hostel was great value for money and would recommend to anyone who is coming to Egypt who would to gain some local knowledge from the staff and eat and drink like an Egyptian. Ended up extending my stay here because I enjoyed it so much. I don't think you will find a better hostel in Cairo. I will be back.

Very clean hostel in a prime location. Staff helped me with everything I needed, was responsive and very accommodating. Free shuttle from the airport is a big plus. Free wi-fi access is a big plus for doing work.

Excellent place to stay, very helpful staff and everything you could want in the way of help was laid out. Fantastic location handy to everything you would want to see in Cairo and the facilities are top notch and the prices are super cheap. A very pleasurable experience all around staying at Brothers Hostel. Highly recommended. Thanks to Sharif, Imman and Muhammed for making my stay such a good one to remember!

My stay at brother's hostel was very enjoyable. The staff, Kareem, Amira, Ehab and Sherif were very friendly and helped to address every need I have, this included hostel delivery of any souvenirs that I wanted to buy. In addition, Brother's hostel was very helpful in providing advice and booking daytrips, including excursions to the Giza, Luxor and Alexandria. Furtheremore, they were always very prompt in picking up their customers at the appointed locations - airport, train station etc.

Great staff ! very helpful and genuine. Clean comfortable rooms, perfect location to museum, metro, and food!

This place was great! We booked a dinner cruise the first night for some Sufi and belly dancing them the second we bored a horse ride around the Pyramids, both were incredible. Unfortunately the second day I are some bad cucumbers at a road side vendor and was sick fit the next four days. The people at the hostel bent over backwards to get me back on my feet, from home remedy suggestions to good pharmacies they made sure I was taken care of.

It was nice.

We were very fortunate to be picked up at the airport by one of the staff. Our private room with private bathroom was clean, comfortable and quiet. Appreciated the towels. The staff made certain we were safe wherever we went in Cairo. We were happy with the breakfast, Internet access and wifi. We are happy we went even with the problems Egypt is having.

Without them my trip here would've been a disaster. Not a big fan of the noisy street below, but definitely enjoyed my time here.

Wonderful hostel. Safe and secure Decent sized rooms, clean ensuite. Nice breakfast provided. Staff are incredibly helpful. We didn't have long in Cairo and they helped us put together an itinerary for the two days we had and organised drivers for us and provided helpful suggestions for the places we were going. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend. Great location - easy walk to museum.

All the staff were really kind. I am a Japanese woman, so they arranged to me a taxi or a tour in a reasonable price. Cairo was safer than I expected. If you want to see Pyramid, you can come!! I did not like a mosquitoes at a living, but the location, Security are really excellent!! you can come Egyptian musium by walking. I really really would like to go back!!

First of all, everything is fine in Cairo so don't skip this fantastic place cuz whatever happened in January is over. People on the streets are warm and willing to help you anytime . The Hostel's Staff is amazingly helpful, they really know how to get the best of Egypt according with the time you want to spend in the country. Breakfast is very good and the hostel is always clean. I really enjoyed my time here. I would totally come back and recommend this place to anyone

My roommate and I loved staying at Brothers! They provided us with everything we needed and went out of their way to make sure we were safe on our trip! Can't wait to go back!

Brothers Hostel is Awesome!!!! The staff are friendly and very helpful. They organise trips around Egypt and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and have lots of fun during your stay. We stayed longer than originally planned as we were having such a great time. Mohammad, Sherif, Ahmed, Karim, Amira and the rest of the staff were awesome!!!! We would definately recommend this hostel if you are ever going to Cairo!!!

Great Hostel, although a bit too much street noise at night!

Excellent, tours were fun

Brothers Hostels have recently refurbished hostels in downtown Cairo, very close to the metro, Islamic Cairo, Zamalek, Coptic Cairo, Tahrir and the Egyptian museum. It is also highly recommendable for those who come to Cairo in order study, work etc. as it provides the guests with excellent wireless internet. The area is very characteristic of Cairo with many friendly faces in the surrounding area. I highly commend this place for anyone who seeks to visit the formidable city of Cairo.

My girlfriend and I had a great stay at brother's hostel. The location just a few blocks from the central Tahrir square couldn't be much better for seeing the main sites in town, including the Egypt Museum, the Khan al-Khalili market, downtown, old Islamic Cairo, and the Nile river. The staff were all incredibly friendly. Sheriff, one of the staff members, was especially helpful, he arranged a tour of the pyramids as well as an awesome camping trip to the white desert, which i recommend.

Easy to see why Hostel Brothers is so highly rated(I stayed ~9nights). Staff are very friendly and work hard to make you feel comfortable &welcome in a country which, to some, might feel alien. Mohammed and his team will also readily help plan you on any number of different trips and tours in Egypt - I was initially skeptical but, while I suspect it may be possible to do some of these cheaper by yourself, it would certainly not be as easy and I felt like it was money well spent.See below4trips.
