Great place, great people, and lots of cats. So unless you are allergic to cats it is a brilliant place to stay! Staff are very helpful and friendly and will organise trips/tours/drivers for you. I had a great stay there.

Stray cats and their feces everywhere, also bed bugs. If it was cleaner it would be good.

It is a great place with a great atmosphere. The roof top is perfect even if people smoke it is excellent for non smokers as it is an open terrace. Thank you for your help in in securing a such a great place for out of this world rates. A first class experience for backpackers. Kudos. Terence

Staff were excellent, location was great, right near Egyptian museum! Room was tiny, and bathroom water pressure very bad, and pretty lame that we had to provide our own toilet paper. But you can't argue with the price- great value for money!

I only stayed at 2 hostels in Egypt so dont have a lot to compare to. This place was basic & cheap. I dont think I would have found much better in Cairo. The bathrooms seemed to be cleaned regularly. The bed was pretty unappealing, not comfortable and incredibly old. I wouldnt recommend the breakfast. Lots of stray cats around which attract a lot of flies but again I imagine you would get this anywhere in Cairo. This place wasnt bad for the money but I wouldnt rave about it either.
