About

The hostel has been warmly recommended by most major guidebooks, including Lonely Planet, Le guide de Routerd and more.

This well-positioned hostel is relaxed and easy-going, with a great atmosphere and friendly staff that make you feel at home.

From the moment you walk into the lobby you sense the laid-back, welcoming vibe of MERAMEES hostel Little touches like fresh flowers, books, CDs and casual sofas in the lobby help make it feel like you're dropping by to see friends at home rather than checking into a hotel.

The casual majlis (meeting room) off the lobby where breakfast is served makes a good place to hang out after a hot day's sightseeing.

The rooms themselves have high ceilings, wooden floorboards, large windows and French doors leading onto balconies, and there are shared bathrooms and rooms with own bathrooms and toilets apart from the dorm room. Helpful stuff gives his guests plenty of advice about visiting Cairo and other parts of Egypt . The Meramees is certainly one of the more friendly options around down town.

Super helpful staff who provided everything we needed. We also did the over night camping trip in the desert through them which was amazing, would highly recommend!

The friendly staff and clean room with air conditioning and all amenities made my stay in Cairo much better than I anticipated. Mustafa was very friendly and gave me an entire itinerary for my stay in Cairo and even gave me a gift when I arrived. They also provide tour guides and suggestions on locations to eat, cut your hair, etc. One of the best hostels I have stayed at when I’ve been traveling and I will definitely be back when I am in Cairo.

It was a really good hostel. Staff was super friendly and super good value. The only reason I didnt give it the full 5 stars is because I was one of the only travelers there and the shower was just a drain with a shower head coming out of the wall and would get the entire floor in the bathroom wet. The included breakfast here was also so good.
