Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
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!

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.
