Meramees Hostel Reviews

Great Hostel to stay at. I felt comfortable with the staff.

It was the best option after staying in 2 other hostels in Cairo which I didn't like at all. It's located just few steps from a streets full of coffee houses, a supermarket and a restaurant. The staff are very friendly and helpful and my room had a balcony and air conditioned. There's also a living room that makes you feel like home. I'd definitely recommend this hostel! Many other hostels in Cairo are creepy as I've checked them my self!

It`s a great hostel. Great tours. Nice car. You will learn to love this place just as it is. They are very friendly. You will never feel lonely if they are around. I'll be there if one day I go back to Egipt.

Best staff ever. These guys bent over backwards to make sure the experience was good. Cannot recommend them highly enough. The rooms are quite humble, but nevertheless clean and comfortable. Meramees is about a 20-minute walk to the train station and a good place to start exploring Cairo on foot and get off the beaten track. Whenever possible I walk everywhere when I travel, so having centrally-located lodging is important.

Not what I expected but pleasant none the less. As a solo travler and a female I was slightly worried however after arriving i realized I had no reason to be and the staf were very accommodating.

The staff at Meramees are amazing, very friendly and helpful. I've had some difficulties in Egypt and this trip could have been a disaster if not for the support of the people here. Someone was available and willing to help me every step of the way, even when my train to Aswan got disrupted. You can't go wrong staying here.

We stayed for 3 nights and they were all great experiences at Meramees. The staff is very helpful and we were able to set up a tour of Giza directly through them, making it very convenient. The location is great and close to a lot of restaurants and shops. I would recommend this hostel to anybody staying in Cairo.

Helpful and friendly staff to assist with anything you might need. I was only in Egypt for a few days and they assisted in setting up a customised tour to cover everything I wanted to visit from Cairo to Aswan!

Loved it!

Friendly and helpful staff! Thoroughly enjoyed my 1-day layover experience in Cairo!!

We stayed in Meramees Hostel for 5 nights. The hostel is in a old building but it is clean and that is what is important. The staff was really good and friendly. It is also female friendly. We booked a trips through them. We booked the Giza trip and it was cheap but of course the take you to some places that want your money but i didn't feel pressured. The desert trip was perfect ask for Sam as a guide. Then the Nile cruise was cheap and nice for a organized trip.

This hostel is one of the best I have ever been to. Safe, secure, great facilities, and wonderful staff! Ahmed, Mustafa, Eman, and Mustafa were great! I needed to buy a computer in Cairo for work and Ahmed helped me arrange it. My friend and I then booked a tour of southern Egypt and Mustafa was a huge help with getting us a great deal. They are all honest, friendly, hard working, and professional. I could not have asked for better people to meet at a hostel!

The hostel is really very clean, location very good in popular Cairo's area in Downtown with hundreds cafees and restaurants. Friendly and helpful staff always ready to advise or arrange trips, excursion etc., The hostel offer free airport pick up. Wi-Fi connection works well at every room and public areas of the hostel and is offered for free. Guests can also enjoy their own preparing of meal at the hostel's kitchen. GREAT atmosphere!!!!!! Thank you guys from Meramees!

Great value for money; super friendly staff!

We stayed at the Meramees Hostel for three nights in March 2013. The hostel is in an excellent location in downtown Cairo, within easy walking distance to the Egyptian Museum. There are many options for food and drinks nearby. The staff is very friendly, and the hostel is fairly clean and quite safe. A simple breakfast is provided. Our room (unexpectedly) had a shower / sink room inside it, although the lights did not work in that area. For around $17 a night, it's definitely a good deal.

Meramees was great. The location is near to the main square and has plenty of food around it. The staff are particularly helpful and will answer any questions. The rooms are were clean and had nice balconies. The showers were hot and plenty of water pressure. Breakfast was simple but hit the spot. The other guests on this stay were also very pleasant. Overall, I very much enjoyed my stay, and if I come back to Egypt, would look to stay here again.

The Meramees Hostel is centrally located in downtown Cairo; it is near Tahrir Square, but since it rests on a side street, there is little to no trouble with protests. The staff are all extremely pleasant and speak English. They are very helpful in finding transportation and giving you security tips. They are also honest with their prices, which is a breath of fresh air in Cairo. Finally, the plumbing all works, the rooms are clean, there is air conditioning, and breakfast is included. Fantastic

During my stay in Egypt, I returned to this hostel three times. It has a very central location, right near Tahrir Square, the Egypt Museum, and many good restaurants and bars. For about 11$ I received a private room with a balcony, and free breakfast in the morning. The staff will help you with anything, from train bookings, to tours, to anything else. When my computer broke they took me right away to get it fixed, making sure that I was treated fairly. I'd recommend this hostel to anyone.

Very helpful young staff who make you feel at home.

Great and helpfull staff. Great location. Nice breakfast included in the price. They will do all for help you. VERY Recommend!
