Overall Ratings & Reviews Meramees Hostel

This I hostel is amazing for a budget stay: location is great (walking distance from tahrir square, metro is in the heart of Cairo. There are multiple supermarkets and stores nearby, the view is nice, speciay from the balcony of the communal room. The staff are really friendly, room was clean and tidy. Breakfast at the hostel was oriental (fool, falafel, salad, scrambled eggs and jam), very filling. One of the staff (his nickname is Manga) was very nice even after checking out he offered to make me a tea. Highly recommend.

The room and bathroom were clean. The manager is friendly and helpful. They upgraded my room. Overall it was a very good stay.

Recommended. Nice hotel, good location and the staff were very helpful. I would definitely stay here again if I'm in Cairo.

I stayed there for 3 weeks. There are at least 4 issues which make this place difficult to stay. The breakfast starts at 8:30, which is inconvenient for all the guests, as it is too late, so many of us pay for it but skip it. The cooking lady is not in rush> A after 40 minutes of waiting (I was the only guest!), I asked about their problem. She began LOUDLY, RUDELY and IN FRONT OF ME discussing me with the other staff saying nasty things about me. I said that it was unappropriated and never ate thereafter. They do not care and did not reimburse the cost of my breakfasts (I asked for this). The second issue: the front desk ladies are unprofessional: they never greet guests. Nada, the daughter of the owner of the hostel, is constantly stuck into her phone and speaks to all the guests as if they are dust under her feet. The third: a complete absence of any flexibility. Once they receive your money, you will never see them. When I arrived at the hostel, my plans changed, and I asked about moving a checking out date TWO weeks before the original termination, but the owner refused saying that he "would lose." The fourth: a bare min. is invested into maintenance, and whatever is done, is done awfully. For instance, the screws that they used for putting a bed together, are sticking out for abut 7 cm. I damaged my leg so bad, that it is healing till now, and I hope that there would be no permanent ugly scar there! No wonder, such things happen with such an attitude to the guests!

The receptionist Ahmed, a young guy, was very helpful and pleasant. Although bathroom is shared, it was always clean. Located in downtown Cairo, within walking distance of Tahrir square. Great value for the money.

Overall, I had a positive experience. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room itself was clean and well maintained, which was much appreciated. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option in the area and want to be near the Museum of Egypt, this hostel is definitely worth checking out.

Thankyou very much Meramees hostel. Gladly we found a good place to stay. The hostel was so cool with a classic and nostalgic vibes but a little bit hard to find the hotel with no big sign n it was located in front of big road so there’s so many car at that time. But overall, the stuffs the the room the breakfast the amenities the internet is good. Keep it great til the end 👍

Nice staff, easy check in but property needs more attention and detail in cleaning.

Everything is fine, there is no note. Service, cleanliness and location Is everything perfect 👍

They were simply exceptional

Huge room. Very good breakfast. Friendly staff.

We were very satisfied with the staff. They were very helpful and met our needs. Location was excellent and the breakfast was good.

Location was good for downtown Cairo. But hard to find at first. The hostel was on the fifth floor of a building, and the sign on the street was not very obvious at first. The room was big and seemed clean. The bathroom, down the hall was sub-par, but it worked. I asked for some clothes to be washed; when I got them back there was still an unpleasant smell...they didn’t seem too clean. The WiFi was pretty bad and the “included breakfast” was below average too. It was fine for 1 night, but nothing was to rave about.

Huge & amazing breakfast, the people working there are extremely helpful.

Fast internet, good breakfast, big room, good location, easy staff.

This hostel was small and somewhat tucked away and in an older, somewhat dirty building but overall for the money the room and the service was very good and I would stay there again

Great location in downtown Cairo – we had a room in the wing opposite the reception and it was quieter than the other side. A lot of shops and great, not expensive local restaurants in the area, close to metro stations, short walk to Egyptian Museum. The room was clean, spacious and bright. The breakfast was very good – a mix of continental and local (I prefer the latter), and the coffee was BIG :) The staff was super helpful and kind. On the first night we were placed in a different room than we actually booked (worse one), but on the next day moved to a proper room. That's a detail, but I wish we could stay in our room straight away – it would make our experience perfect. It's a good quality for the money, although for that price you can choose from many options in downtown Cairo. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would come back to Meramees Hostel again.

It's located in the near the national museum and all walking distance to most of major attractions. Egptyion breakfast was delicious and shower water pressure is really good. Highly recommend for budget travellers.

Affordable yet accomodating staff and comfortable rooms. Staff can speak english. The location is great as its near the metro, the Egyptian museum and easy to find a taxi. They also arrange tours.

The staff is very friendly, helpful and fun. They recommended some things for us to do and helped us arrange a tour to the pyramids and a Nile dinner cruise. The hostel is right in busy downtown Cairo and very close to many tourist destinations and cafes as well as some big shopping streets. Our room was basic and clean with a small balcony and a city view. They serve a nice continental breakfast in the morning. This is a great place to stay for budget travellers looking to be in the heart of the city.
