Disappointing

At check-in, they requested the payment to be 8n cash, pretending that the payment machine is not available and they are not sure of its availability at the time of checking out When I insisted on paying in plastic, they added 5% of the total price after services and taxes expenses

Amazing view of Cairo City from level 15! A view of Nile River from corner couch!

Amazing view of Cairo City from level 15! A view of Nile River from corner couch while having breakfast, breathless! Staff is really nice and friendly, very clean area and the bathroom is with hot shower, good WiFi signal and laundry clip-lines that dries up laundries in half day!

Room's AC is not on for my 2 nights stay, thus windows are opened for airflow for 10 pax and with sandstorm in Cairo it's powder dust everywhere, springy mattress didn't help too.

nice

Score 10 for the guys at the reception and the girl who served breakfast, they were all smiling all the time, which makes you feel good! Very kind everyone! The internet works very well, the location is close to the subway and many tourist spots! The furniture and bedding are a bit old, but for me it was fine because I only needed a bed and a shower! It would be great if you diversified your breakfast at least a little, with a fruit or yogurt! Greetings from Bucharest, boys and girl! I highly recommend!

Passable

Absolutely lovely staff. We stayed in another place in Cairo and the attentiveness, kindness and helpfulness in Castle Hostel was incomparable. The place is nicely decorated and generally enjoyed its vibe. Good kitchen facilities too and there's hot water in the room. Lovely view of the busy road.

This may be a blessing in the summer but the place has no heating and we were freezing in the room. Bed sheets were stained.

Great location in the center of cairo, the rooms are very high in the 15th floor...so, view is breathtaking. Room was clean and nice....for 1 night it was just what we needed!

Because I am plant based, I would like to have breakfast options more.

This gem of a hotel is hidden up 16 floors in a ordinary area but the staff here make it wonderfully extra ordinary. gre

The location is perfect, walking distance to the Museum, the Metro, the main bus station and the Nile. Super lovely helpful people run the facility. They put on a surprise dinner and music for everyone on new Years Eve, such warm generous people.

Awesome location so close to everything. The room was good and big. Minter views as high up also not to loud as far from road. The owners were super kind, awesome English and went out of there way to be helpful. Cup of shy on arrival and awesome breakfast. Room was perfect. One of us were sick and the owner made him a special tea. Super kind and it actually helped. Would stay again for sure.

Nice view, medium facilities

Cheap price, nice view from the sixteenth floor.

The wall in the room was broken, it was simple glass so it got quite cold in the night and you can hear the highway so clearly. Also the other guests in the room next to us were very loud. For this price range, you have better options in Caïro. Finally, the was quite difficult to find. Took as at least 20 minutes to find the right place.

An good basic option with exceptional staff

The staff were amazing! so helpful and friendly and full of good advice for visiting Cairo. They went above our expectations to help. Breakfasts were basic but filling and good kitchen facilities. Staff are able to help arranging trips and taxis.

The entrance downstairs is a bit grotty and off-putting but the hostel is much nicer inside. Decor a little tired, but clean and comfortable. Traffic is a bit noisy at the front, the rooms on the back are quieter.

The location is good, walking distance to Go Bus station and the Old Egyptian Museum. Also near the business street and easy to get the food around. The room is clean with a comfortable bed and the staff is very helpful. You can have a nice sunset view here too.

The common area is a bit small, the downstairs doesn't have a clear sign for the hostel.
