Map

Location/Contact

Address	4 Souk El Tawfiqya Street, 4th Floor, Cairo (Downtown), Egypt
Location	The names on the map are in Arabic and English if you get lost. Next, board the train toward El Marg, and then get off at Nasser Station. If you're on one of the other metro lines, you just need change to the Giza - El Marg line at either the Sadat or Mubarak metro stations. People are friendly and will point you - or walk with you - to the right metro stop. Once in Nasser station, exit the station to the street. Then walk (AND THIS IS IMPORTANT) AWAY from the bridge. All the exits are located away from the bridge and you shouldn't go toward it or near it. Once again, WALK AWAY from the BRIDGE. You will then walk until you reach Ourabi Street (Sharia Orabi). Turn left on Ourabi Street. Then walk until you run in to Tawfikia Street (Sharia Tawfikia). Turn left on Sharia Tawfikia. Then turn left on Tawfikia Street and look to the left. You'll pass a bakery and a pizza shop and then you'll see the sign for the Hostel. NOTE: If you run into another street you've gone too far. Simply turn around (Yes, 180 degrees) and walk back toward Tawfikia Street and look to your right.

Friendly staff, always ready to help, but not pushy. Clean rooms, with aircon. — Customer review (2009-07-23) Hostelbookers

Hostelz.com Guest Reviews

Cheapest hostel in Cairo -- not bad but what can be expected for $2 This is literally the cheapest hostel in Cairo. At $2 a night, don't expect much. Beds were clean, rooms were clean but hot. A creaky fan and poor lighting was in my double, which was in a high floor above the seedy Souk Al-Tafiqua. Showers were in decrepit shape, if clean. Bring your own TP. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Free breakfast is served on a balcony overlooking the suq, which is nice. This hostel was what I paid for, but next time I will try somewhere else. — Katie , USA (2008-04-01)

THE WORST HOSTEL EVER I stayed on this hostel on Sept 2007, When we got there, We tried loggin in on "private" room. The place is so filthy, not even the roaches will want to stay there. We didn't stay and still had to pay for the night. AVOID THIS HOSTEL! — Ruth , American (2008-01-06)

Even though the rooms are not as great as I expect them to be under European circumstances I think the staff are fine and honest. The beds are clean and the hostel is just the best-situated place you can have in Cairo. — Michael Walz (2005-01-15)
