Layla Hostel wasn’t just a place to stay; it was the highlight of my entire Cairo adventure. From the moment I arrived, I was enchanted by this beautifully designed two-story villa—a rare blend of elegance, comfort, and thoughtful hospitality. The space is a masterclass in intelligent design: the bedroom’s lofty ceilings created an airy, serene escape, while the sleek, modern bathroom (with proper dry-wet separation) rivaled those in luxury hotels. And oh, the bedding! Wrapped in sumptuous Egyptian cotton, I slept more soundly here than at my five-star Hurghada resort—proof that true comfort lies in quality, not just price. What truly set Layla apart, though, was its warmth. The staff treated me like a cherished guest, not just a customer. When I admired their fragrant incense, they insisted I take some as a gift—a small gesture that captured their generous spirit. For solo travelers seeking tranquility in Cairo’s heart, this isn’t just accommodation—it’s a sanctuary. I left already longing to return.

From the chef to the kitchen assistant, everyone is very courteous, helpful, communicative and very friendly. The view of the pyramids is excellent. Especially from the roof terrace or from my favorite room, the jacuzzi-bath-room. . All in all, I will be back. Best regards to the team.

Absolute satisfaction from my side. The accommodation is in completely new condition. What I can highlight is the superb view from the windows overlooking all of Cairo, breakfast included, cleanliness, and excellent internet service. However, what I must praise the most is the absolute willingness and communicativeness of the landlord Abdo and his staff, who were incredibly friendly, helpful, and willing to assist in any way. We arrived by car and were concerned about parking, but surprisingly, due to traffic restrictions in the center, we arrived at the location without any minor restrictions. Additionally, parking on the street for a fee, including a guard, was great. The accommodation is on the 11th floor and is constantly monitored, with the entrance to the building also under constant surveillance, making one feel absolutely safe, and therefore, we had no problem leaving all our belongings there during our visit to the Egyptian Museum. From this perspective, considering the price, location right in the center, communication, and assistance, highly recommended!

Very good location and safe lifts. The entrance to the hotel is clean and welcoming. I came early and they gave us an early checking-in because of it. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean and the beds were comfortable and big. The area was good and the rooms were sound-proof. Ac units worked well and wifi was also stable. The breakfast was very nice, and when we requested an omelette, extra bread and tea they provided us with them. Very safe location with lots of cheap food stores, coffee shops and restaurants.

The dormitory was very comfortable and clean, and the bathroom included. Breakfast was delicious. The staff were amazing, extremely helpful with tips about the local area (where to eat, and pit fall to look out for, ect.). The hostel also organised tours that were really good, and at a good price.

Very good location in the center of Cairo. 10 minutes walking to the Egyptian Museum and surrounded by restaurants and shopping. Safe neighborhood. The service was excellent, very kind people!! Nice breakfast. The building is a little bit old in the outside, but the hostel rooms are very nice and comfortable.

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.
