City Hostel

The place is hard to find. Poor upkeep of the place. Not available for 24 hours check in. Will not stay there again.

The hostel locates in a very convenient location that we can walk and uber to places easily. The man who works at the front desk (about 60-70yrs old), he is a super kind and lovely man. For his help, we can take uber at 2am without cash require from uber driver. On the day we stay, unfortunately, the bathroom didn't work properly. We didn't have hot water, and the toilet was hard to flush.

Overall good experience and I recommend it. The staff are very respectful and helpful. The room met the expectation. The internet is good (most of the time). The lack of toilet paper was upsetting. The area around the hotel is very noisy during the day, and not very clean, but it's also right next to Attaba metro station where you can either ride Green Line 3 or Metro Line 2, it's also 10 minutes walk to Ramses train / bus station, downtown, or the Nile/Zamalik which are also accessible by metro.

They don't refund money.Incase you paid for 10 days and you stay there for 3 days your money won't be refund to you.

Thank you for the hospitality and service

I always come back to stay at this hotel. The most important thing to me is that it makes me feel safe and reliable. All the staff are so nice, and they have been working there for a long time. Each time I come, they remember me and make me feel like a home. Salah, Sayed, Abdelrhman, Nahed and her 3-year-old cute son. The other breakfast lady, whose name I don't know, has also been working there for a long time. It's good that the manager, Salah, speaks English and helped me a lot. The location is in the center, walking distance to everything. The hotel rate is good, including breakfast.

Thanks for your amazing hospitality,, this is my place in cairo ,, thanks for the friendly staff,, and the excellent service.... the best cheapest hostel in the downtown...

Thanks for your amazing hospitality and your friendly manner,, your hostel is perfect and with a perfect condition

I like this place, it's inside old cairo and near to all the historical places, the staff is friendly and service is good

Everything is wonderful

This place is very good and the hospitality is very comfortable, as well as the staff is very nice and friendly

Front desk couple old employees are good always helpful but they hired a young guy who works at cleaning or serving staff so annoying always ask you for Pepsi your shoes your clothes etc like homeless kid even trying to get in your room look for staff etc.

I love the area (very local). The staff will help you with anything you need, they are always very friendly and cheerful. They took my laundry to the cleaners a few times. It was my third stay there this month (May 2023) for a total of 8 days. I will definitely stay there again when I go back next year.

I'm writing this review on my second visit to the City Hotel and I'll be back again at the end of May 2023 for my 3rd time. Everyone is very friendly. Carlos will help you with whatever he can. When I visit a new place this is exactly what I'm looking for, very authentic (Egyptian) in All ways. The street food in the area is fantastic. It's the only place I've ever been that you can eat for under a dollar. I'll post a few pictures of the food from the place to the left and around the corner beside the coffee shop. The Turkish coffee is also great for 35 cents. Make sure you have Egyptian pounds because US dollars will not work well in this area. You will have to find a bank to exchange them. If you are looking for a place that is English speaking this might not be for you. If you are willing to put in the effort everybody is willing to try and help. Google translate is your friend most of the time. In the time I've stayed here I have walked over 50 kilometers up and down the streets and I haven't seen a single tourist or found anyone that speaks English. I feel very safe on the streets. Look both ways before walking across the street. Everyone walks on the streets and the drivers are crazy. You will always hear honking but you have to listen for what's happening right in your vicinity. All honks mean something, they're not angry hunks like the US and Canada. I if you rate this place under 5 Stars you're not thinking about how much you paid. Once again Carlos is great.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐++.

As a 1 star hotel, it rates 5 stars. The staff is friendly and take pride in their work. The facility is old and deteriorating. None the less, basins, toilets etc. are newer and cleaned well. It was my first night in Cairo and the neighborhood did not look pleasant, but I felt safe. The front sign displays City Hotel, not hostel.

I loved the downtown location and atmosphere surrounding City Hostel which is in walking distance to many restaurants and historic sites. Hostel staff service was terrific and room was 5 Star!

The staff at City Hostel in downtown Cairo were fantastic. Great attitude, helpful, and always available. The bed was super comfy and the view was refreshing. I will always stay at City Hostel when traveling to Cairo!

Excellent property and very convenient to Downtown Cairo activities. Front desk staff is extremely efficient, pleasant and helpful. Property is clean and has a fantastic old time charm.

The staff was the nicest staff I have ever encountered at a hostel! They were always friendly and asked me how my stay was going on a daily basis. They also were able to recommend places to get any type of meal that I needed as well. Wonderful experience indeed.

I had a great experience at City Hostel! All of the staff were incredibly helpful, and the amenities were great. The room was wonderful, clean, and perfect during the entire duration of my stay. Thank you City Hostel!
