nice and clean place and funny teamwork, the rooms are enough spacious, the area is central and there are many coffee shops all around where to smoke shisha and drink tea. You will meet here Maghdi, Kamal and Mohammed Ali who will take care of you. Specially Mohammed Ali! More

The room is very wide and the bed is very clean. At the first time I am surprised at the site of hotel. It is difficult for you to find out without using taxi. The staff of this hostel is very kindful and helpful. They will show you the suitable tour and help your Egyptain trip. More

An experienced traveler knows to be careful when traveling abroad. One must proceed with caution. The Nubian Hostel was a breath of fresh air.

The owners were both very helpful. They were a breath of fresh air, and they didn't want to befriend us just for our money. The place has great prices, comfortable beds, internet, and egyptian breakfast! Stay here! More

They picked me up at the airport (they overcharged me but it s o.k), very welcoming people, the rooms are cheap and of good value. The weak point is that as soon as I arrived, the so called tour guide harassed me to buy his visits to the sites, he knows that we are tired from the flight so he... More

Nubian Hostel is one of the best hostels I have ever stayed at! The owner Mimoo and his brother, Samba,were at the airport to pick me up when I arrived at the airport and gave me a quick tour of the sites before taking me to the hostel. The hostel is clean, safe and located really close to Tahrir square--... More

A nice hotel with free computer access and free wi-fi, sat tv. Ask for Waleed or Shareef - but all the staff are helpful. Close to Tahrir Square and down town/city centre. More
