Clean and well run place with excellent staff and comfortable accommodations. The hostel is centrally located with lots of eateries and cafes that are very well priced. The staff was always professional, kind, helpful and caring. This is true for the front desk staff, to the cleaning staff, to the wonderfully caring women who fixes a healthy breakfast for each guest. I highly recommend it! It is not in a touristy area, which is a big plus, as you will be constantly overcharged in those areas

Castle Cairo was fantastic. We came for 10 days to Egypt and Kholod worked with us to develop a schedule for the 10 days to get in as much as possible. She was amazing. I was traveling with 5 kids ages 9-19 and the staff treated us like gold. Kholod arranged drivers and guides for all over Egypt and when we came off the overnight buses, they gave us rooms to use to relax in and shower before our next adventure, even though we were not spending the night there. Highly recommended.
