Juliana Hotel Reviews

What can you expect for $6 USD a night? I certainly didn't expect much--and that's pretty much what I got. It was a nice, mostly clean room that locked and had it's own bathroom. None of the staff spoke English, so that was tough, but doable. The wifi was down for one of the days and the power went out for about 12 hours too--which was interesting because the hotel is located on the third floor of an old cement building and when the power goes out there are no lights on the stairs. Good for $$

The hostel suffers from the lack of guests recently, but the staff is very friendly and helpful. The hostel has a good location, near to the city center and the subway.

The location is ideal because it is not in the center, so there is not much traffic. In 10 minutes walk you are in the center. The rooms are clean and the staff is extremely friendly and can arrange any excursion. Recommended!

Despite having a reservation the Juliana Hotel was full when I arrived and the receptionist had no English. She phoned the manager who told me to stay another hotel 500 metres away. By then it was dark and none of the three taxi drivers I spoke to had any English, so I walked, but the managers directions were poor and I got to the Garden City Palace in the backstreets an hour later. The bed sheets were filthy with other people's pubic hairs between them, luckily I had a sleeping bag.

The entrance is very poor, the building is falling down like all the quartier. The stairs (3rd floor) seems to had pass a war. When you arrive to the third floor is better... Could it be worse? Anyway the people at the reception are very kind and helpfull but not the tipycal "boringhelp" of touristic Cairo, they were very good. Thank's. Also I think they need to clean the rooms more, the tables, the bins... And to try to have sheets appropiates for the beds on size. Hopping they improve!

It was all very nice. The hostel is really beautiful and the people who work there were really helpful. I strongly recommend to buy the tours there. The guides we had were excellent and the trips remarkable..

Upside: The staff is really doing everything they can to help you out. As they don't have a cafeteria you get your breakfast in bed, quite neet. Downside: Situated in a partly abandoned building with mysteriously working elevators. At least some of the rooms accually doesn't have a wall, with just glass parting the room from the outside which is a bit unpractical when trying to keep street noise and winter cold out. And Garden City is a quite dull place - you need to move away to find the fun.
