Located in the heart of Cairo, this hostel is 10 minutes’ walk from the Egyptian Museum and the Nile. It has a terrace and rooms with a balcony. Free Wi-Fi is available.

The rooms at the Cecilia Hostel are simply furnished and have wooden flooring, air conditioning, ironing facilities and a mosquito net. Some rooms have a private bathroom. It's hard to imagine a better location in Cairo. Nice, familial atmosphere in what could serve equally well as a backpacker hostel and a family hotel. Both foreigners and Egyptians stay here, which makes for a nice mix. Good value, nice buffet breakfast.

The property is around 1.2 km from Tahrir Square, 1.6 km from The Egyptian Museum and 3 km from Cairo Tower. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi.

At the hostel, each room comes with a wardrobe. The rooms come with air conditioning, and some units at Villa Layla have a balcony. All rooms will provide guests with a fridge. No complains, it's a fabulous place with friendly people working here, super clean, well maintained, aesthetic. Beds are super comfy and you can even stand on them, as the ceilings in the building are very high. There are enough of bathrooms and toilets on every floor, you will not wait in line. I work remotely, internet is good, it goes off from time to time, but they called the mechanic and fixed that, these people do really care. The house and the territory are very beautiful, it feels like an oasis in the constant rush of Cairo. I extended my stay for 1 more week and will come back the next time I'm in Cairo.

Situated in Cairo and with Tahrir Square reachable within 1.1 km, Space Hostel features express check-in and check-out, non-smoking rooms, free bikes, free WiFi throughout the property and a shared lounge. The property is set 1.3 km from The Egyptian Museum, 2.4 km from Al-Azhar Mosque and 2.5 km from El Hussien Mosque. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and luggage storage space for guests. You book and budget hotel then taxi pulls up outside and first impression is ‘you get what you pay for’. But then you’re met by Noura and Ahmed and soon realise the staff at 5 star hotels would have a hard time matching their customer service. Noura makes your stay here go from below average to exceptional! I made a special request for my room and she delivered in style. When I asked for a guide to provide a tour she arranged one ensuring no details were missed and at competitive price. She is reliable, somehow always available for your queries or to arrange anything you need and all with a smile. Ahmed and other staff were so friendly and helpful that it made us feel like we were staying with family. The breakfast was better than I expected and the location was perfect for our needs.

The hostel will provide guests with air-conditioned rooms with a desk, a coffee machine, a fridge, a safety deposit box, a flat-screen TV, a balcony and a private bathroom with a shower. Pyramids Glory Inn provides some units with city views, and the rooms come with a kettle. All guest rooms feature a wardrobe. Staff are very helpful, accommodating, and nice! They can help you get uber if you are having issues with booking. Location is perfect. Less than 5min walk to the Pyramids Entrance/ Ticket counter. I got a great room with a direct view of the pyramids. Super nice! I can see the pyramids from the bed overlooking the balcony. There’s free water, coffee, and tea and sugar in the room. Rooftop was a great spot to see the pyramids as well. And they give you a big, hearty, breakfast. The bed was so comfortable as well. I slept really well. It was also quiet. AC works well. The door is very sturdy. Good supply of water. There is hot water in the shower. They provide shampoo and body wash and hand wash. There are towels as well. But the shower stall is quite small though (because the sliding door is limiting the space a bit) so could be an issue for others but works well for me as I am petite.
