To begin with, I've been to 17 countries worldwide and I've stayed in deferent hotels and hostels, ranging from no star to 5 stars hotels. Depends on the trip that I am taking. Thus, this time I was going to stay for over a month time so I would honestly say that I was lucky to come across Cairo Freedom... More

We were greeted in the nicest possible way after a rather stressful trip from the airport. The team at Freedom were professional, polite and really couldn't have do more to ensure we enjoyed our stay. They were a fountain of knowledge on what to do in and around Cairo. When we asked, they informed us of tour services, but we... More

Located in the heart of Egypt (just 10 minutes from Egyptian Museum, 13-ish from the Nile) in a vibrant neighborhood, you find Freedom Hostel on the top floor of a worn, but aging gracefully, old building. Staff are competent, helpful and straight talkers -- you can trust their advice. Rooms and bathrooms are kept clean, and most furnishings feel quite... More

We stayed in Freedom Hostel from 03/16/2012 to 03/19/2012. The place is spotless. We really enjoyed our stay here. Special mention goes to Hussein. He is very friendly always helpful. We took two tours with them. The first tour to Sakkara, Darshur and Giza. Our driver and guide Samah was very knowledgeable. You might want to avoid buying the Papyrus... More

This was honestly the best hostel we have ever stayed at . The atmosphere is very friendly and just like home. They have a wonderful lounge with a flat screen TV, wireless internet, laundery services, cold water and beverages on hand, free breakfast, clean spacious rooms, and the most friendly and attentive staff that I have ever dealt with.

Staying in downtown Cairo it's always a surprise what the hotel you booked will look like as in 90 percent of the cases the outside of the building nor the staircase or elevator doesn't give an indication. As rents were frozen some forty years ago the owners of most of the downtown buildings gave up maintenance so the common spaces... More

ALL the staff are by far the friendliest and most welcoming and helpful staff I have had at a hostel. They make you like family from the start. You can ask for just about anything and they will organize it for you. Offered free transport to pyramids or airport transfer which is so helpful. (We even got an airport transfer... More
