Auberges de jeunesse de Gouvernorat du Caire, Égypte

In general, it is not bad for me to stay in a single room with a common bathroom for 10 nights. Above all, I would like to express my gratitude to the staff's efforts to manage the City Hostel clean which is too old and out fashioned building. * Location & Transportation Without noise, it is the best location to stay. It is located at 2 2-minute walk distance from Attaba subway station that connects to the Ramsis Railway Station and the Egypt Museum, only 1~3 stops away, charging 6 EGP per way. Of course, you can go to both by walk in 20 minutes. It means you can also enjoy the Nile riverside which is close to the museum. And it is a 2-minute walk distance from the Attaba market which is the biggest public market in Cairo and so many locals visit to buy their livelihoods stuff at a cheap price. In addition, you can also walk to the Al Azhar Mosque and Khan El-Khalili traditional market in 30 minutes, and St. Marc Coptic Orthodox Cathedral in AL Azbakeya in 10 minutes Two problems I experienced are firstly the noi⁹sy from 8 am to 3 am outside the building due to market area and cars' horns. It took 3 days for me to adapt it. Any room in the hostel cannot escape it without changing the windows to soundproof ones. If you are sensitive to sound, it is better to find other lodges in a residential area or modernized ones. Secondly, its location on the Uber taxi map and other maps is not accurate, so drivers have some problems in finding the city hostel. I have to meet them in front of the KFC next to the Attaba subway station. The signboard of the hotel is too small to recognize it. * Building and room conditions Like many other buildings in Cairo, the hostel building is old and shabby. The interior design and facilities are also outdated. However, the staff manages it so clean, particularly a common toilet and shower room. It is quite convenient a washstand in each room. However, it is bad there is no electronic kettle to boil water in a room or a common space. I could not enjoy my tea or coffee time at any time. I have to ask for hot drink water every morning when receiving breakfast, and store it in my tumbler. It will be better to provide a tea or coffee service area in the hostel. * Cleanness & Safety Cleanness and safety are very good. I have no issue with this. * Services There is no basic service that most guesthouses provide in general: toilet paper and drink water. Wifi is too weak to use the internet. Other services like laundry are satisfied. * Others During my stay, I couldn't enjoy having an exchange time with other travelers. I think it is because there is no reason to stay in a common space where only sofas and a table are. Largely guesthouse provides a commonplace where guests enjoy better the internet or drinks including tea or coffee and foods, which makes guests meet each other naturally and structurally. In conclusion, if the hostel provides basic services like toilet paper and commonplace with drink water and electronic kettles, it will be much better. And it is necessary to change its signboard so that is more recognizable. Except issues I mentioned above, it is a very good budget lodge.

Excellent hôtel. Abordable. Idéalement situé en centre-ville. J'en suis très satisfait et je réserverai à nouveau sans hésiter. Merci à toute l'équipe.

L'endroit était propre, la chambre un peu plus petite que je ne l'imaginais, le personnel poli et serviable, un excellent séjour pour le prix, à recommander aux petits budgets. Le manque de commerces de proximité dans ce nouveau développement très chic oblige à penser à tout acheter ailleurs.

The hostel is a welcome respite from the chaos of Cairo. Note that there are two floors, 1 and 4, but are connected by a vintage elevator as well as a stairwell. Breakfast provided each day was sincerely appreciated and delicious, made fresh for each person. The beds are comfortable and equipped with a small light and a power outlet to charge your devices. There is a common area to hang out with others and meet people. Some of the fittings are broken in the bathrooms but you will get by fine.

When we arrived, it was a little difficult to find the building, because there was no sign of Lucky Hostel in the lobby. However a very persistent man outside, insisted that the building with sign “El otel”, is the correct building. We trust him and we entered. Another problem, it looked like to use the elevator to 4th floor, we must have access card. We wait for about 5 minutes and fortunately there was a man came down, and we asked his help to tap on the elevator using his card. Other than that, my husband & I were happy to stay in this hostel. Our room was so big and with sofa too!! Staff were very kind and helpful. Breakfast was good. Hot shower was very pleasant in cold morning. And we were very happy that the staff allow us to put our luggage while we were away to Luxor. We stay for total of 4 nights and we were allowed again to put our luggage while we went shopping, because our flight was in the middle of the night.

Honestly, I want to save this gem in Cairo a secret because I will return and I don’t want it to be overbooked. It was absolutely the best managed hostel I have EVER stayed in. Soooo clean and safe, and absolutely beautiful. I could feel the care of this historic building. Well done staff! Don’t change a thing. The swimming pool and deck were so clean and an amazing ambiance.Thank you!

房間在一棟很破的公寓樓的10樓，外面沒有標識，可以谷歌地圖導航。電梯很破且需要等待，但進入青旅後有被驚喜到，內部除了有點新裝修過的味道外很漂亮很新，在休息室可以看到城景，地址位置也很好，離老埃博步行10分鐘，新埃博打車半小時。 員工熱情，服務很好，英語流利，青旅裏可以洗衣服（5磅每件帶烘乾），可以寄存行李，可以買水（小瓶5磅，大瓶10磅） 缺點是房間裏很吵，就像睡在大街上，建議預訂雙床房然後睡在離窗户遠的那張上…或者戴耳機，真的很吵很吵，不過很漂亮哈哈。 總而言之是很有性價比的選擇！

The hotel is quite close to the Egyptian museum, The facility is okay - The place is quite old but clean. The hotel staff here are very nice especially Mr Anas he was quite energetic and really looking forward to service + friendly I didn't expect that he was invites me to the lunch together with them ** note** for someone who cannot sleep with the noise - the hotel is quite close to the Egyptian Street which is always honking the horn. Solution ** ust bring an earplug ( The one that you would receive on in airplane ) and everything's gonna be fine In conclusion this hotel is reasonably priced for this quality. if you don't expect for something luxury but friendly , This hotel could be your choice

Au 12ème étage, il y a un jardin unique sur le toit, mais dommage qu'il ne soit pas ouvert. Personnel de service sûr, propre, hygiénique et amical. L'emplacement est très bon et dans l'ensemble, le prix est très bon.

Vraiment, un endroit magnifique , à 5 min même pas à pieds de la station de métro qui deserve tout Le Caire , très bien situé au centre du Caire commerce et café à proximité, puis la cambre été climatisé et propre , une très belle terrasse aussi . Concernant le personnel ils étaient tous au top , l’accueil est chaleureux , j’y reviendrai sans doute un jour à cette établissement.
