I stay here as a regular staff are always friendly and for 65le a night what do u expect! Great location too for railway station and all the downtown facilities

The Hotel is very basic and the only convenient thing about it is the location. It is 3 minutes walk from Orabi Underground Station and 10 mins walk from Tahrir Square. The room was very spacious, although not very clean. The sheets were dirty and the floor had not been hovered in ages. The bathroom had a very high ceiling... More

The management is simply ouitstanding: helpful, knowledgable, sympathetic--in short willing to do whatever it takes to makes a tourist's stay in Cairo menorable and easy. We planned to stay... More

couldn't ask for more - great value for money. rooms not too modern, but staying in isn't the reason why you come to cairo. very knowledgeable and helpful staff, even the homeless guy by the gate. don't even think of missing out on mango smoothie from the juice shop on the right.

If you keep in mind that this is a hostel then you will propably be pleasently surprised. It's a colourful and peacefull place with a hint of good incense smell.
