Very beautiful property, delicious traditional Egyptian breakfast for only 3 usd, and cute cats. However, the wifi was almost unusable during our stay, signal was weak for mobile data as well, and the charging outlet was really slow, which caused some inconveniences. Showers were only available on the top floor, and sound insulation was poor for some rooms.

Highly recommended

I had a fantastic stay at this beautiful hostel in Cairo! The building is a fully renovated 120-year-old home, and it’s absolutely stunning, full of charm and character. We stayed in a private room with a king-size bed and were wowed by the elegant chandelier that gave the space a special touch. The staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming throughout our stay, always ready to assist with anything we needed. The location is great too — close to Tahrir Square, which made it easy to explore the city. One of the highlights is the peaceful backyard with a pool — a rare gem in Cairo and a perfect spot to relax after a day of sightseeing. Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting the city!

staff were wonderful and the property is beautiful. the cats are adorable (but please get them spayed!) which was a huge bonus to a mad cat woman like myself. location was great, staff so helpful with all questions, lovely and quiet and the decor is beautiful. i came with my mum and we had an amazing time visiting giza, saqqara, memphis etc. plenty of places to walk to nearby to eat. my mum has mobility issues and we were able to request a ground floor room with a private bathroom which was perfect for my mum’s accessibility needs. would recommend to anyone :)

Highly recommend but makes sure you get the room you want. Expedia lists a private bath on one of their garden rooms, but it does not have the private bath. It must say private bath on the confirmation from the hotel.

La chambre était impecable. Le personnel très gentil. La villa est magnifique. Pour rencontrer des gens c'est top. Le ménage fait régulièrement dans les sanitaires.le petit déjeuner très bien. Seul défaut ce sont les douches propres mais la robinetterie parfois capricieuse donc on a parfois un filet d'eau pour se laver ce qui prend beaucoup de temps.
