Hostel located in the city centre close to tahrir square. The staff is very polite and pleasant, trying to help you whatever you need. Big room with king bed comfortable and ensuite bathroom although the bath is quite old with tap leak. Is not a problem if you consider how old are the buildings in downtown. Talking about breakfast is enough, and one important thing is that they pick you up from the airport and take you to the piramids free if you stay at least three nights. I recommend to you!!

Hostel itself is very good clean, cheap, walking distance to the museum and the staff is friendly and helpful. BUT, they dont have free shuttle to the pyramids as they advertise, they offer u a car transfer for 200 pounds, whose driver will try to make u spend your money saying its not safe to go the the pyramids on your own and that u should hire a horse and a guide, which will be quite expensive plus the guide will ask you for even more money. Also by taking you to papirus and perfume shopping

Hi Laura first of all let me seize this opportunity to thank you for book our hostel and your kind review as well, we would like to clear some points 1st we offer free shuttle bus to Pyramids only and you pay for Sakkara and Memphis as a supplement 2nd our driver always advise clients to ride horse or camel to let you feel the desert safari atmosphere as some other clients compliant when driver didn't advise them if you have a complaint from staff you can contact us direct to info@thecanadianhostel.com Thanks again for your comment as your review helping us to provide the best service Regards Hostel manager
