Near to many tourist sites. The hostel is very new

Really enjoyed the experience staying here. Rooms are clean, breakfast was great, location is good, and above all, the host there are really nice. I lived there for 5 nights, and every day living there was a great day. Truly recommend this hostel to be your home in Egypt to stay!!

If you want to feel like being with family, then this is your place. Everyone tries everything to make this a great stay. Everything is clean und breakfast is made freshly once you are ready to have it! Being in the heart of Cairo the location is excellent to dine out around the corner.

Avoid, definitely avoid.

Very disappointed. Booked the hotel but room wasn’t in a hostel 2 floors down. Building is in terrible shape. Room was not what we booked. Photos are misleading, they show you’ll get a balcony and a certain layout, you don’t. Room and hotel smelt like an ashtray. No blankets given. Advised them of all the issues, answers given were ridiculous. When asking for a blanket the response was ‘we don’t have blankets, no one asks for blankets but I’ll do you a favour and bring you a duvet cover to use as one.’ Bathroom was shocking. Disgusting. No way of showering either without flooding the bathroom (and no it wasn’t a wet room). No breakfast was offered or available.

Good price for the facilities in the room and for the location of the property. Plenty of options to eat within walking distance and very quick and easy to get an Uber. Very friendly staff, room was clean and spacious. All the basics provided and a few little extras too- I especially liked the touch of the swan towels! The bed was very comfy and both WiFi & aircon worked well. Hostel is located on the fifth floor but there is a lift available. Check in/ check out was easy and room was ready exactly when the check in time stated. Due to the location there is some traffic noise but this did not impact my sleep. In contrast to the cleanliness & upkeep of the hostel, the building itself does not have the best signage and is not maintained particularly well maintained e.g rubbish/ building materials left on stairways & landings. This is not the fault of the hostel who have made their section of the building very welcoming. I did not have the breakfast so cannot comment on this.

Nice and reasonable priced for short stay.

Nice place to stay for a short visit. They have 2 categories of rooms (old and new --> just book the cheapest category because for the new rooms anyway you will be charged extra as not online yet). Nice breakfast, nice staff. Don't get scared by the building, entrance, other floors of the building (everything is horrible, worn down and dirty). The hostel itself is on the top floor and quite modern and neat. Drawback is smoking in public areas.

ホテルのオーナーは嘘つきです。チェックアウト後に、食べ物をホテルに持ち込む事は禁止している。お金を払えと言われました。従業員は盗人です。犯人は捕まりましたが、盗まれたお金は返ってきませんでした。オーナーにも責任はあるのに、捜査には協力もせず我関せずの態度です。地図の場所にはホテルは存在しません。虚偽です。本当に最低なホテルです。

First time to Cairo

It was my first time to Egypt (Cairo) and I was looking for places to stay and my friend recommended this place because it was pretty central. I had a huge double room with a balcony. Had a fridge, TV and private shower. The free breakfast was great and the staff helped me out with booking a trip on a Nile cruise. They brought me from the hotel all the way to me seat on the train. Very helpful and lovely stay. Not to mention the snack shack just outside the hotel was handy for late night snacks haha.

Excellent staff, feiendly, polite, and even if not all of them speak in enflish, they always tried to help , helpfull staff, the room where i was was so small but for what i paid it is good, bed was clean and no bugs, that is all what i was hoping for. There was only 1 bathroom available, but again, for what i paid, it is ok to wait a little to use the toilet. Breakfast was good tastefull and complete to start the day, it is simple, but again, for what i Paid for, it was more than i Expected. i got sick and one of the guys introduced me to a doctor in the building, i was ok i did not anything but it was nice from them to think and wprry about me . I definetly recomend midtown hostel and i would go back :) Sam

There was little more to like than the fact it was somewhere we could store our luggage while looking around. Although a shower would’ve been nice, the amenities were dirty and inhospitable. Gnats, flies, cockroaches and street cats abound.
