There were lots of storage and hooks in the private room we stayed in. The individual lights by the beds were really handy. The friendly and knowledgeable staff was my absolute favorite part about Madina Hostel :)

Boasting a garden, terrace and views of pool, Villa Layla is situated in Cairo, 1.9 km from Mosque of Ibn Tulun. The property is around 1.2 km from Tahrir Square, 1.6 km from The Egyptian Museum and 3 km from Cairo Tower. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi.

At the hostel, each room comes with a wardrobe. The rooms come with air conditioning, and some units at Villa Layla have a balcony. All rooms will provide guests with a fridge. Please book this place ASAP! As a solo female traveler, I was kind of scared of staying in a hostel in Cairo, but this place changed my whole stay experience. From the moment I arrived, they greeted me very well and were super super friendly! The place is AMANZINGLY BEAUTIFUL. It even has a terrace with a pool area. This place literally made everything so much better, and is very well located. Everything is very clean and everyone is very nice. I felt very safe in there. It’s obvious how much effort the owner put into this home, he even sat down with me and gave me suggestions on what places to go as a solo female in Cairo and how to dress. They have a beautiful little cat named layla too! As a latina im always kind of concerned of leaving my things out without me being there. But I can definitely say that I felt VERY secure with all of my things there, because I felt very safe with the workers and also with the other tourists. Please don’t think it to much! This place is the BEST. Im so thankful I booked it. They also have a permanent coffee/tea station, and filtered water. This place changed my perspective on hostels. LOVED IT!

Situated in Cairo and with Tahrir Square reachable within 1.1 km, Space Hostel features express check-in and check-out, non-smoking rooms, free bikes, free WiFi throughout the property and a shared lounge. The property is set 1.3 km from The Egyptian Museum, 2.4 km from Al-Azhar Mosque and 2.5 km from El Hussien Mosque. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and luggage storage space for guests. The staff of the Space Hostel is super nice! They made jokes with our kids and made us feel at home. We booked an excursion to Alexandria and had to leave by 7AM. They provided us with breakfast at 6.30 even though breakfast doesn't officially start until 8AM. Our kids really liked the cool blue lights under our beds. The room was comfy, bathroom looked new. Also, there was a lot less noise (honking from cars, music blasting, screaming) than in any other hotel we stayed at during our 2,5 weeks in Egypt, including some fancy way more expensive places. The location is convenient, just 15 minute walk to the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities. Highly recommended.

Heaven Hostel is located in Cairo, within less than 1 km of Tahrir Square and a 17-minute walk of The Egyptian Museum. The property is set 2.3 km from Mosque of Ibn Tulun, 2.6 km from Cairo Tower and 2.8 km from Al-Azhar Mosque. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen, a shared lounge and luggage storage for guests. The hostel, which is located in the heart of downtown Cairo, was the perfect location to make my stay in Cairo unforgettable. I stayed at Heaven Hostel for three months and it was the best decision I could have ever made. The hostel is on the 11th floor, and for that reason, you have a breathtaking view over Cairo. Besides the great location, the hostel offers fresh Egyptian breakfasts daily, which are made by the most wonderful two women. The breakfast is prepared fresh every morning and offers a great variety as well as a generous amount of food. Moreover, all the rooms are clean, neat and the furnishings are really modern. The rooms are really cozy and you can watch Netflix series at anytime if you like to. Additionally, the reception is always (24/7) occupied, and the staff is truly amazing! I have never experienced staff who are so helpful, kind, and generous - simply wonderful. They are always happy to assist no matter what, and you can easily contact them via. WhatsApp at any time. Furthermore, you can book amazing trips through the hostel, e.g. to the pyramids or a night in the white and black sand desert. I can only recommend these tours! They were simply amazing. Thanks to Abdo and everyone else at the hostel - Amr, Ahmed, Shahd, Shaima, and Shrouk - I had an amazing and unique experience and I cannot thank all of them enough! Everyone at the hostel works so hard to ensure that every single guest has the best time and experience in Cairo. They definitely turned my stay in Cairo into the best experience I could ever wish for. I will come back to Cairo for sure, and there is only one place where I will stay: Heaven Hostel. <3
