Great value clean hostel

Don’t judge a hostel by its entrance - or lift! This lovely place was clean, modern, very good value and a great position for visiting some of the main Cairo attractions. Staff friendly and helpful. Delicious simple Egyptian breakfast. And a fun ride in the lift!

Excellent. Welcoming and friendly staff who are all fluent English speakers who helped us to organise so many things. Excellent quiet accommodation. This place is both an oasis in the ghetto that is downtown Cairo, and is the best location possible for visiting the museum. Excellent breakfast.

We’d like to book a Nile cruise tour at the reception, they told us it would be $600 for two people. The next day when we got back, they said they made a mistake, the price should be $600 per person. I told them we would go with another travel agency with cheaper price, then they said “It can be $500 per person”. Looks like they were trying to rip us off, we chose another agency.

服務良好的好住宿

櫃檯服務態度超好，有問必答。詢問超市位置或是水果哪裡可以買的地點，都熱心回應。住宿地點也走一小段路就可到達地鐵。

Consigliato

Chiamarlo ostello è un po' riduttivo ma chiamarlo albergo forse è un po' troppo. è un'ottima via di mezzo gestito da ragazzi sorridenti e disponibili e ben curato sia negli spazi comuni che nelle stanze. ha ovviamente i suoi difetti come la pulizia giornaliera delle stanze o la colazione tipica che però non presenta alternative ma anche dei pregi come le camere ampie, i letti comodi e soprattutto la pulizia in generale. La posizione è ottima a pochi minuti a piedi dal museo egizio. Quindi lo consiglio senza problemi

It was almost ideal room located in ideal spot! Organized and flexible processing in favour of their customer. The only minor defect was that the light at the room entrance was not working, I didn't noticed at that time though.

Soluzione economica ma dignitosa in pieno Cairo downtown, dietro al museo egizio. Ostello semplice ma nuovo e pulito, con camera spartana a cui si potrebbe aggiungere qualche comfort essenziale per renderla più accogliente (asciugacapelli, prodotti per doccia). Staff molto cordiale e accogliente. Nel complesso ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo

Das Madina Hostel ein Geheimtipp in Kairo Downtown. Das Gebäude aus kolonialer Zeit zeigt durchaus Spuren der Zeit. Der Aufzug, der den Gast in den 10.Stock bringt, bestätigt dieses Gefühl. Umso größer die Überraschung, wenn man oben angekommen ist. Alles ist top renoviert und wirkt frisch und jugendlich. Dazu atemberaubende Blicke auf das Zentrum - bis zum Tahirplatz sind es nur wenige Gehminuten. Wir hatten ein Doppelzimmer (für die Schlafsäle sind wir zur alt) mit eigenem Bad, das sehr gut war. Das eigentliche Highlight sind aber der Besitzer und sein wunderbares Team. Kompetent, hilfreich und mit besten Englischkenntnissen. Auch die vom Hostel angebotenen Ausflüge sind gut.
