Boasting a shared lounge, terrace and views of city, Madina Hostel is situated in Cairo, 300 metres from Tahrir Square. The property is around 500 metres from The Egyptian Museum, 1.8 km from Cairo Tower and 3.5 km from Al-Azhar Mosque. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property. The staff was great! They cared about their guests, spoke good English and worked hard to be accommodating. The guides and drivers they used were good. They also walked guests down to the street to make sure they got in the right car for a tour. I felt perfectly safe and comfortable at Madina.

Set in Cairo, 300 metres from Tahrir Square, Marhaba Inn Hostel features air-conditioned accommodation and a terrace. The property is around 400 metres from The Egyptian Museum, 1.7 km from Cairo Tower and 3.5 km from Al-Azhar Mosque. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared lounge and free WiFi. ‏From the moment I entered the hotel, I felt a sense of comfort and a cleanliness beyond what I could imagine, and that’s the most important thing for me. It felt like I was walking into a 5-star hotel, not a hostel. The staff are lovely, educated, and very friendly—you feel like you’re at home and never want to leave. The guests are also wonderful, from all nationalities, and when we sat in the reception we talked about everything, exchanged cultures, and carried ourselves with confidence as if we had known each other for a long time, not just met by chance a couple of seconds ago. ‏The rooms are absolutely amazing, maintained at the highest level of cleanliness, from the bedding to the décor, and they’re extremely relaxing for the nerves. The lighting is stunning, the balcony view is incredible, and the street below is not noisy or crowded but rather in a very clean, upscale area close to everything around you. Of course, I’ll be staying here every time I come to Cairo … I wanted to add that the photos shown are exactly the same in their cleanliness, maybe even better. Most places put up pictures and when you go, you’re surprised that it’s not like that. But in this place, you’ll be surprised at how it’s even better than the photos I always want this place to remain with this level of cleanliness and that fresh, pleasant scent that is special to hotels so there wasn’t even a speck of dust on the furniture, and the bathroom was also very clean.

Set in Cairo, 300 metres from Tahrir Square, Landmark Hostel Cairo provides air-conditioned accommodation and a shared lounge. The property is located 500 metres from The Egyptian Museum, 1.8 km from Cairo Tower and 3.5 km from Al-Azhar Mosque. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi. This hostel was my little oasis in chaotic Cairo. The facilities in the dorm room were among the best that I’ve used at hostels. They’re the cleanest because they’re cleaned every day. I was especially pleased that there were no insects. Breakfast was very filling. I was most impressed with the staff at this hostel. Most of them were university students, working part-time while attending school. They were always cheerful and friendly whenever I interacted with them. I got the impression that they genuinely enjoyed doing their job and being helpful to others. I flew a long way to Egypt looking to view historical sites and artifacts, but the highlight of my Egypt trip was meeting these young people at Landmark Hostel. Whatever degrees or careers they end up with, I wish them success.

The hostel will provide guests with air-conditioned rooms offering a desk, a kettle, a fridge, a minibar, a safety deposit box, a flat-screen TV, a terrace and a private bathroom with a bidet. Guest rooms have a wardrobe. This hotel has the very best views of the pyramids! It's set on the 14th floor of a building so the vista is superior - far better than the rooftops in front of the pyramids. Mohammed, Bilal, Ibrahim and the rest of the team were amazing hosts. They made us feel so welcome and helped us with every tiny question or problem. There was no hidden agenda, they were just happy to host us. There was a delicious breakfast cooked to order in the mornings. 1000% recommend Dar!
