I strongly advise against staying at this hotel. The staff took my phone under the pretense of verifying my reservation, then used it to leave a fake 5-star review without my consent—this is completely unacceptable. The rooms are tiny, poorly maintained, and frankly, dirty. The photos online are misleading and bear no resemblance to reality; they look like staged images from a different property altogether. I’ve stayed in many hotels across Egypt, and this one easily ranks as the worst. The location isn’t bad—close to public transit and central areas—but the overall experience is ruined by poor service, lack of cleanliness, and outright dishonesty. Not worth the price, not even close. I won’t be returning, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.
We arrived earlier than check-in time, and although our room wasn’t ready yet, the staff was welcoming and allowed us to store our luggage while we went out exploring.

Our room was comfortable, spacious, and had everything we needed—no complaints at all. It’s clear that attention to detail and guest satisfaction are priorities here. I’d definitely stay again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cairo.

With its great location, good value, and welcoming atmosphere, this hotel is a solid choice for travelers exploring Cairo. Definitely recommend it!

Staying at Oasis Hostel in Cairo was a disappointing experience overall. The rooms feel like they haven’t been touched since the 1960s or 70s—basic, outdated, and clearly in need of a major renovation. The beds were uncomfortable, and we were only given twin beds, which made sharing space awkward. The bathroom was old and worn, with walls shaking whenever the air conditioner—which didn’t work—was turned on. While the lobby looked decent, that’s about all the positives I can find. Towels were acceptable, and the pool seemed okay, though we didn’t use it. Breakfast was terrible, and dinner—a pizza—was honestly the worst I’ve ever had. The location is extremely isolated; there’s nothing nearby for food or essentials. Outside, the road is under construction, with rubble blocking walkways, making it nearly impossible to walk safely. Doors were stiff and hard to open and close. Despite the booking platform’s promise, this place simply doesn’t deliver value for money. Not recommended.
Located in a great spot in central Cairo, this hostel offers excellent access to major attractions—just a short walk or quick metro ride away. The facilities are adequate for a budget-friendly stay, though there’s no elevator, so guests staying on higher floors should be prepared for a few flights of stairs. The staff is friendly and helpful, always willing to share local tips—from hidden gems to nearby eateries. There’s even a liquor store right around the corner if you’re in the mood for a drink after a long day exploring. Overall, it’s a solid choice for travelers looking for convenience, value, and a touch of local charm.
I only had a quick overnight stop in Cairo during a busy travel schedule, and while I wasn’t planning to stay in the city, I needed a reliable place to rest. African House Hostel is located right in downtown Cairo—super convenient for exploring the area and getting around via metro. The building is quite old and doesn’t have modern upgrades, but it’s clean and well-maintained for its price point. What stood out was the great value for money: I got my room key within four minutes of arrival, and the bed was comfortable enough for a good night's sleep. The staff were friendly and helpful, and booking was straightforward with no hassle. Breakfast can be arranged upon request if you’d like something simple in the morning. Honestly, don’t expect luxury or fancy amenities—this isn’t the kind of place for that—but given the location and budget-friendly rates, it’s a solid choice for travelers passing through. It’s not perfect, but definitely acceptable for a short stay in a vibrant city like Cairo.
Staying at Meramees Hostel in Cairo was an absolute highlight of my trip to Egypt.

What really stood out was the value for money—affordable without compromising comfort or safety. If you’re traveling on a budget but still want a cozy, social, and well-located base in Cairo, this hostel is a must-book. I’d recommend it to any traveler looking for a genuine local experience.
