Avoid, definitely avoid.

Very disappointed. Booked the hotel but room wasn’t in a hostel 2 floors down. Building is in terrible shape. Room was not what we booked. Photos are misleading, they show you’ll get a balcony and a certain layout, you don’t. Room and hotel smelt like an ashtray. No blankets given. Advised them of all the issues, answers given were ridiculous. When asking for a blanket the response was ‘we don’t have blankets, no one asks for blankets but I’ll do you a favour and bring you a duvet cover to use as one.’ Bathroom was shocking. Disgusting. No way of showering either without flooding the bathroom (and no it wasn’t a wet room). No breakfast was offered or available.

Good price for the facilities in the room and for the location of the property. Plenty of options to eat within walking distance and very quick and easy to get an Uber. Very friendly staff, room was clean and spacious. All the basics provided and a few little extras too- I especially liked the touch of the swan towels! The bed was very comfy and both WiFi & aircon worked well. Hostel is located on the fifth floor but there is a lift available. Check in/ check out was easy and room was ready exactly when the check in time stated. Due to the location there is some traffic noise but this did not impact my sleep. In contrast to the cleanliness & upkeep of the hostel, the building itself does not have the best signage and is not maintained particularly well maintained e.g rubbish/ building materials left on stairways & landings. This is not the fault of the hostel who have made their section of the building very welcoming. I did not have the breakfast so cannot comment on this.

First time to Cairo

It was my first time to Egypt (Cairo) and I was looking for places to stay and my friend recommended this place because it was pretty central. I had a huge double room with a balcony. Had a fridge, TV and private shower. The free breakfast was great and the staff helped me out with booking a trip on a Nile cruise. They brought me from the hotel all the way to me seat on the train. Very helpful and lovely stay. Not to mention the snack shack just outside the hotel was handy for late night snacks haha.

There was little more to like than the fact it was somewhere we could store our luggage while looking around. Although a shower would’ve been nice, the amenities were dirty and inhospitable. Gnats, flies, cockroaches and street cats abound.

A Pleasant Surprise in Cairo

We enjoyed our stay at Midtown Hostel very much. We used it as our base to visit Cairo and surrounding area. The location is central, vibrant, and safe (even till very late at night). Breakfast was fresh and delicious. Our room was spacious with high ceilings. The staff was also courterous. They responded to all our requests promptly before and during our stay. Overall, it was a pleasant surprise. We would definitely return to this hostel if we have a chance to visit Cairo in the future.
