    Real Egyptian hotel. You will feel you are in Cairo not just at a hostel anywhere. Tourists and Egyptians together. Suggest booking your tour through hostel. Staff will assist if any problems arise. I will definitely return.

    The room was good. They got us our crucial ride to the airport at 2am without a problem. They only wanted to sell us a tour where they could make money and not one that actually got us where we wanted to go (but that's the norm in Egypt). We didn't buy any tours from them because of that and also...
