I recently stayed at Layla Hostel in downtown Cairo, and it was an amazing experience! The location is fantastic—just a short distance from Tahrir Square, the Egyptian Museum, and other iconic landmarks, making it the perfect base for exploring the city. The hostel itself is clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, which made my stay truly enjoyable. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to offer recommendations and assistance with anything I needed. One of the highlights was the delicious breakfast, with options for Full English, vegetarian, and vegan meals, catering to all dietary preferences. This was a great way to start each day before heading out to explore Cairo’s historic sites. I also appreciated the peaceful and non-smoking environment, which provided a relaxing escape from the busy streets of Cairo. Whether you’re a solo traveler or visiting with friends, Layla Hostel offers a cozy and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel at home. Overall, I highly recommend Layla Hostel to anyone looking for affordable, clean, and centrally located accommodation in Cairo. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit!

The service is super nice. And the Hostel liegt in one very modern and safe area. I like the breakfast also , they offer a lot. The room is quite clean , my husband and I had good sleep during the night. What I still like is , just 1 minute walk has one middle size supermarket, I could buy the drink and snacks with local prices. And just 10 minutes walk can reach lots of morden Restaurants. If I come back to Cairo, I will live here again for sure Caro has lots of traffic, the time to the airport we had nearly no time. But the staff in the Hostel was super helpful, he helped me in the emergency time to get the car drive us to airport ( sometimes Uber need to wait long time or the driver dislike to drive to Airport, we didn't know it) I really thank for it. Otherwise we couldn't fly back.

The staff was incredibly kind and understanding. We were able to participate in many wonderful programs with their help. The prices for these programs included the tour guide, the driver and the entrance tickets and in some places it was possible to have breakfast and lunch as well. The rooftop was very cozy with a beautiful view of the pyramids. You have the option to have lunch or dinner there. We spent 5 nights there, next time we go to Egypt we will definitely choose this accommodation! I would like to thank you for all the help and kindness we received! Thank you for we were able to take part in a real dream vacation!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The hostel is conveniently located in the city center of Cairo. There are restaurants and hidden cafes nearby which made it appealing for me. My small private room was cute with a comfortable bed, AC, bathroom and perfect for a night stay. In addition, the hostel offers dormitory rooms for solo travelers. I felt very safe when walking in the area alone. The staff was friendly, kind, and helpful. Thank you for letting me use the washer.

After reading some horror stories about budget hotels / hostels of Cairo I didn't know what to expect, but the Freedom Hostel turned out great. Awesome staff, great location, comfy beds, cleanliness, good breakfast.

Really nice staff. The hotel feels safe even if the area isn’t the best. Recommends for a budget friendly option hostel.

George, Antoni and all the staff were so helpful and friendly Great location and even though it's very central there wasn't too much noise from the traffic. Really nice vibe in the hostel. Would recommend as a cheap but decent spot to stay in Cairo.
