Canadian Hostel Reviews

my compliments to the nice staff - i will come back! soon... ;-) best regards lutz

The Canadian Hostel is an excellent budget hostel in Cairo. I've stayed there a couple times now, and each time has been a pleasant experience, despite the fact that it's connection to Canada is nebulous at best. Clean, good facilities, excellent price, and the staff is friendly and unobtrusive - an important virtue in Cairo. Most importantly however is the hostel's location, which is excellent. Within a stone's throw of the metro and Tahrir, The Canadian hostel could not be better placed.

The Canadian Hostel is located in the centre of Cairo, which couldn't be a better location to move to all parts of Cairo. Of course it is really busy on the streets, but the good part about is, that the rooms are not directed to the street. So it is totally quiet. The staff is very openminded and likely to help you in any occassion. For its price it is a good quality, because you can enjoy a clean room, average bathroom and an included breakfast.

I've stayed at this hostel multiple times, and the staff have excellent English skills, and are more than willing to work with you to create a great experience for your travels and tourism ideals!! VERY CONVENIENT location, and famously now right at Tahrir Sq.!! Easy access to the Cairo Museum, to taxis, to the metro, and all other tourism sites in Cairo! While obviously not sparkling like the overly expensive hotels, the tourist packages and the prices they offer are EXCELLENT!!

Thanks for everything Mohamed, Ahmed, and Medhat!

The Canadian Hostel is in short probably the warmest, friendliest and relaxed hostel in Cairo. The hostel is just a two minute walk off Tahir Square (right hand side of the street to the right of KFC)and just a similary short walk from the must visit Egyptian museum. Also from the metro station outside you can easily and very cheaply travel to Giza, the Coptic/older parts of Cairo and pretty much anywhere for just 2LE (egypt pounds).Excellent english speaking staff who really went all out for us
