This place is close to the Egyptian museum and is in the center of Cairo, so for location it can't be beat. It's clean and has internet, and the people are very helpful and friendly regarding any requests and in general.

The entrance is a little bit creepy as well as the elevator. After getting into the hotel, everything looks normal. It\'s nice and colorful. Mando, the guy at the front desk, was nice and helpful, too.

In a ex-grand early 20th century building at downtown Cairo, a couple 100m from metro & nearby to ATMs, quick restaurants & cheap eats. Entry is hard to spot so get the hostel pickup. Hostel is small with no real common room but it has 4/5m high ceilings so it has a feeling of space. Only 2 wet-rooms and 1 had a broken shower holder so it was unused. Breakfast was served too late at 8.30am & was limited. I twice had a verbal argument with 2 staff over a tour, the fight was not wanted or needed.

Overall it was pretty good. But I wish the breakfast was more available and set out for everyone. I had to wait a while, then I just left. But for the price, this value is excellent.

My wife and I arrived in Cairo exhausted after many hours of travel we were happy to be picked up by the helpful folks from the Hola Cairo hostel. The hostel is in a great location and last night we enjoyed a walk around the block, talking to kind Egyptians and drinking fresh mint tea. We recommend this hostel to any budget traveler we will certainly stay here again! Egypt is still open for tourists, despite all the changes, it is still a great place for holidays!

Young, friendly and helpful staff. Very welcoming and let us check in early which was great after a long coach ride. The rooms we stayed in were large and the hostel is clean throughout. The included breakfast is simple but tasty and does the job. The staff are good at recommending local places to go and were very helpful regarding our safety around tahir square etc. They also helped us to book a private tour round the pyramids which was very useful, hassle free and good value. Would definitely stay again a
